90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.
Heli:
Cerridwen,
can you look in yours /My Documents/ Electronic Arts/ Sims3 if you have a userpresets file please ?
I think the problem is the bad CC pattern/userpresets
is something Simsample has mentioned in post # 129 moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16410.125.html

Ba haha ha! Ah hahaha!
Thanks for that turn-of-phrase.
I've decided to stand down on the patch and the EP and see if this gets worked out.
I may just go back to Sims2; There's a lot I haven't done there anyway.
Cerridwen:
Yes Heli, I have a userpresets.package file there. For Kicks, I'll move it out and restart the game to see if it makes a difference. The save is basically unplayable now as it is.
I'll report back.
Report - I removed the user presets file, launched my game I'm having problems with, and the Goth house is still blue, I suspect if I took a sim on vacation they would come back to find all houses blue.
I have custom patterns installed in both my Mods folder as .packages and through the launcher as simspack files. This is an interesting theory. Is there something else I should be doing with that file rather than just removing it?
nanacake:
Here is a small list of things for those who are too stupid to know otherwise before you try reinstalling things. You can't expect the new EP to work instantly with CC for a game never made at default to accept such things. If you want to test the new EP so badly, Remove tight pants before reporting problems! To do this a fresh reinstall would be best but if you want to be difficult:
First delete your monkey installer crap, resource.cfg and move your mods folder. Place backups elsewhere of the following files found in
My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- userPresets.package (For those who don't know somehow, this contains all the recolors you made with CAST if you have custom patterns recolored saved in there, it can cause errors. Back it up and ship it out!)
- The DCCache folder has to go who knows what the hell you put it in- it's not going to work with the EP yet! (Looking at you TSR addicts!), back it up or anything installed with the launcher will be gone for good.
Now try seeing how it works with a new game (hood). Test. Stop making new threads. Seriously too many new threads of the same subject. To be expected I guess.
Cerridwen:
I'm so sorry nanacake, can you please link me to another thread where we are discussing lots turning blue after returning from vacations in the World Adventures Ep? I'll gladly take my posts there.
I do not use the "monkey installer crap."
I did take out all my custom content.
Deleted all the cache files. Now including the UserPresets.
I started a new game and STILL am getting wonkyness. Now, after playing Sunset Valley Goth house for just a bit, If I try to clone anything using the eye dropper, it registers as "simple flooring" and will not clone it properly. EVERYTHING is registering as simple flooring .. walls,objects, fences everything. I did not however remove my DDCache folder, and that does have some non EA created content in it. I will now do that as well and test. Again. I'm am starting to think this has something to to with custom patterns as well.
I have been deleting cache files, reinstalling, and testing on my old game and a new game since Midnight of the 17th and am still having problems.
