Not all custom content is showing up and corruption
Lela:
Hello,
I own all the main game and all expansions. I think the term is "aard"?? the stuff packs. I patched everthing and cracked the last game. custom content is enabled. I tried to delete group.cache.
I am running on an admin account. I cracked and then played after each one that had suckyrom on it.
A couple of days ago I installed a tool call sims2 clean installer. I installed lots and sims. I did not install anything into the game before this but I did unlock 3 special files that eaxis had created for pets. The dalmatian with the stars coat, the purple coat for dogs and the cat. I unlocked these back when I installed seasons.
so when I installed the sim clean install tool(after I installed all games and stuff packs) I noticed installed lots show up in the bin but installed sims do not.
custom content for the sims can be found in the bodyshop but no sim appears in the people bin.
I uninstalled clean install tool and I still can see my installed sims. The Download folder is full. Custom content is enabled. I can see the homes but not the sims.
The special coat to unlock for dogs is corrupted. when I select it, some dog is colored purple but not all. The stared dalmatian coat is fine and I never checked the unlocked cat.
I deleted groups cache under documents eagames sims folder.
Do I have to reinstall everygame? And if I do, can I keep a sims and house I created in the game?
Is there an easy fix?
One more thing. Some people had suggested removing the custom content out of the downloads folder and then replacing it.
I did this but before I replaced it I entered the game. The homes I downloaded were still availabe but when I exited the game the icons for all the previous expansions and stuffpacks were missing the image. When I added the downloads back the icons returned to normal.
Does the download folder have stuff installed by the game on default? I thought this folder only contained items a player installed?
I believe I made a back up in seasons but should I to be on the safe side reinstall all? or is there one or two games to reinstall?
Thank You in advance. :)

You mean the bin in CAS, or in the neighborhood screen where families show up after you create them? Installed sims should show up in the first, but not the second.
As I understand, with Clean Installer, you can choose which parts of a custom content package to install. Are you sure you installed the "sim" part and not just the stuff the sim is wearing? Just covering the bases. :)

Where can see your installed sims -- somewhere in game, in bodyshop, or just as files in your downloads folder?
I'm not sure what you mean about the purple either -- some parts of the dog are purple, but not the whole dog? or some dogs will show purple, but others will not?

I mean the screen where families and homes show up when you can just simply select a sim or a house and add them to the game. I don't know what CAS means.
I selected the entire Sim not just the custom content.

I can see some of the content for the Sims like skin, eyes, and hair in the body shop.
I mean there is a special purple coat that you have to go into the game options and unlock with a code. This coat turns a dog entirely purple. I was able to do this before this glitch but now when you select a dog and use the unlocked purple coat some of the dog turns purple like the head but not the body where as before it was the entire dog.
One other glitch I noticed has occurred. I can't delete some of the custom content in the body shop. Example: I was always able to delete the custom content directly in the game like the eyes, hair, and skin tone...etc when I opened the bodyshop but now I can only delete some of it like the hair by clicking on the little trash can and then the custom hair. I can't do this with the eyes or the skin tone, or the makeup.

Sims you download will only show up in CAS (Create a Sim) area. You have to create a family yourself and choose a premade sim from here. They do not show up in the Sims bin on the main screen.

I am surprised about that because when I downloaded sims before and installed them, they would show up in the bin and I could select them. I believe the last time I downloaded a sims was when I had the University exp.
Okay, something is still wrong. When I go to the CAS area my sims are in pieces. They are not complete. I mean there is a Sim with the icon that means it is custom but it doesn't look like the Sim I downloaded. I can select the eyes and hair and skin tone but I am know it is supposed to come in one part. What happened?
