Not all custom content is showing up and corruption
bekka:
Honestly? The picture of the sim you downloaded may have been photoshopped to looked better than it really is. I've downloaded hundreds of sims, and probably 60% of them do not look like they do on the websites. And that's probably a low estimate.
Your system specs may also be different from the persons who made the sim, and therefore your system may render the sim differently then theirs.
There are many reasons it may not look the same, and there is probably not a thing you can do. I just delete them and look for the next one and hope it's better.

Thank You for your response and help but I remember when I used to download some would not come out exactly right but many would be on point. I am getting 0% coming out right. This is not normal and I am also having problems with the unlocked purple fur. The entire dog turned purple when using it and now it is just some of the dog. I am going to reinstall the games. I wish I could roll it back a week but I didn't do a save.
Updated. I tried one more thing. I removed all the content in the download folder and then restarted my pc. Then I added just one sim and then restarted the game. When the game started up there was no screen that said to enable or disable custom content. The game options showed custom content is on. But then I exited the game and added bonus content that you got when you bought one of the expansion packs. I restarted the game and then the custom content screen appeared asking you enable or disable the custom content.
bekka:
Did you add the sim to the downloads folder, or to the saved sims folder? Unless it was to the downloads folder, I don't believe it's considered custom content and so will not bring up the dialog.
I can't comment on the dog fur, as I don't use them.
rufio:
Actually, my experience is that the custom content dialog only cares about objects and hacks. I don't think I've seen bodyshop content listed in at all.

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?
I am making a wild guess, but can Clean Installer install things this way (in pieces, rather than "put together")?? I use a Mac and don't have Clean Installer so I don't know for sure.
Does the Sim show up in one piece if you install it using the regular Sims2PackInstaller?

One other glitch I noticed has occurred. I can't delete some of the custom content in the body shop. [...] 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.
Do you mean you can't delete ANY eyes, skintones, or makeup? That is odd. If it is just some files, is it possible they are set to read-only? Also, if they are default replacements, you will not be able to delete them in-game.

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.
I don't know if it will help, but could you provide a picture of what the dog looks like with the "partial" purple coat?
My first thought is that it might be a problem with the wrong "layer" of coat being selected, or the opacity, but it's hard to say without seeing it.
