Late to lunch - Seasons issues
cwykes:
I thought it was bodyshop that put stuff in saved sims not the game. I don't use bodyshop and my saved sims is empty apart from stuff I put there.
ZephyrZodiac:
That's the point, isn't it - use any kind of installation device created by EAxis and you get files in all kinds of places you don't want them to be! Which is why I use multi-installer for my walls, floors etc., and clean installer for everything else - I like to have control over where things are put, and if the file generated has that stupid long file name, I usually change it before I put it in the game, or at least put it in its own, named, folder. But I did used to put all my skins in saved sims before you were able to put them in subfolders in downloads, after which I put tried just putting a downloaded sim in there, but as I said, it didn't show in CAS until I moved it into Downloads. The Saved Sims folder is just a useless, empty folder making a nuisance of itself.
cwykes:
that's what I used to use saved sims for ZZ. Now I can subfolder in Downloads, I put them there instead. I assumed ny Saved sims folder was empty because I don't use bodyshop and the people who did use bodyshop would expect to find files in Saved Sims. I do quite a bit of basic "help" stuff on another board, so I like to check basic stuff like that out when I get a chance.
ZephyrZodiac:
I never use Bodyshop either. I had difficulties getting it to load when it was first issued prior to the base game release, and I've never bothered with it since. If it would have loaded back then, no doubt I'd have played around with it, but since I got the game, I can do whatever I want to do in CAS or by cloning in SimPE, so Bodyshop is just a waste of hard drive space!

Thanks for your replies. I did play vanilla for a little while - longer than I did with CC, on a winter lot just to test. I am thinking it is a CC issue.
Erm... and did the problems persist in a vanilla game? If they all went away, then I agree with your conclusion that it's custom content at fault - but if you were still experiencing problems, it's more likely a graphics driver issue. EA apparently are not able to test the game with every possible combination of hardware & drivers that people have in their real PCs, and it could well be the graphics driver making things look weird rather than any problem with your downloads.
Another possibility is that you have custom content that is incompatible with Seasons. I know that a lot of people have been experiencing flashing blue accessories (earrings etc - things that used to go in the glasses section of Create-a-Sim) when they installed Seasons. I'd root out that sort of thing first.
