As for "missing" sims, no clue. I've seen plenty of black-skinned sims, and some that will cause a CTD when you try to actually load them, but none that are simply not there in the CAS screen.
Exactly. I've never seen this before and couldn't find any info on it, which is why I came here. I'm afraid it's a lost cause though. The only possible solution I can think of is putting them in the fully-patched game I have installed on my desktop (as opposed to the one on my laptop, which is the game that I want these sims in), package them as a household instead of as .sim files, and see if that'll make them function correctly. According to some people that works for sims that aren't showing up in CAS at all, so maybe it'll work for this issue as well. So that's my plan for the moment.

Have you checked the other ages. Perhaps your downloaded Sims are either teens or full adults.
Like I said "They're in my premade bin, but when I select them, they don't show.". Which means the issue isn't that I can't find them, but that there is no actual sim showing up when I select them. There's just the regular CAS, but without a sim being present. Thanks for the tip though, while searching I saw loads of people who didn't know this, so it's certainly helpful information.

^Well right off the bat you need to fully patch your game, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. That is IF you want any type of actual help. I would doubt it has anything to do with missing EPs/SPs since the sliders are in the patc...oh, wait. See where this is going?
I completely see where it is going, yet I'm not going to patch my game atm. I'd rather not have these sims in my game than risk the playability-level that my game has atm. I will eventually patch, but at this moment I care more about my game functioning the way it is now, then about having 2 extra sliders and 3 custom sims in. I'm asking for any ideas on how to make these sims show up without patching, so the advice to patch doesn't really help me. I know that doing that will most likely fix the issue, but as I have explained I do not wish to patch my game at this moment.
If this means that people are unwilling to help me, then so be it. In that case I'll try to solve it on my own, and if that fails I'll have to play without these sims in my game.
However, if people are still willing to give me some advice, I'll gladly listen to it.

So just for reference sake, whens the last time you patched? Could your problem be really bad CC? Are these sims packed with non game clothing? Try running it through custard, see what comes up. Maybe try deleting any CC from the package.

My game is currently at patch 4.3.4. I'm using .sim files to install them, so I can't run the files trough custard. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'd certainly use it if I could.
About the bad CC, that could be the issue, theoretically. I do have quite a bit of CC, but I have no glitches or problems besides these 3 sims not showing up.

Hi. For some reason, Futureshock, Glitter and Glam, and now Gothique won't install. The first two tell me to update my game (it is) and Gothique will download and it says it's installed but it's not showing up in game.
I have Late Night and High End Loft.
I looked on the Sims3 website and didn't see anything about those sets being for a certain EP.

Your sims hate you because you DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEARCH FOR INFORMATIONS.
