Where is my bodyshop cc?
ladymiriam:
Whether in my saved sims folder or my downloads folder, nothing is showing up. The configuration file is right. I've re installed AL, should I reinstall them all? Could some one tell me all the files I can safely delete? Please help if you can, all suggestions greatly appreciated.

you have enabled CC in your game?

Thank you for a reply.
Oh yes, I'm sure everything is right. CEP installs my DL folder, so it's correctly named. When I play my game after an install the first thing I do is change the settings to how I want them, sim while minimised, enable cc etc. The configuration file is right. I have now discovered that it must be a dodgy/conflicting download of some kind.
I've had loads of probs over the years with cc, but in all those cases simply taking out my cc and sorting through it has solved the problem. When I start up the game again it should work fine. In this case I had been playing when I could no longer access my CAS cc, whether in the game through mirrors/shopping or in the CAS screen itself. Strangely the game does read these files because my default skin and eye replacements are showing up correctly in the CAS screen and if I randomise a sim, they often have custom hair. They never have custom clothes though and I can't remember if they should use custom clothing when randomising, it's a function I rarely used.
Since I wrote my original message I have been putting my cc in and out of the game to rectify the problem. At present I have about 5% of my stuff left to try. The thing that annoys and perplexes me is that when I have put a pile of files in and discover that my stuff is gone I have to create new user files if I go into the CAS screen, if I go into a lot then I have to reinstall AL again. I have never had to go to such lengths to solve a CC problem.
If anyone knows what kind of file could be responsible I'd be so grateful. Just for information, when my mods/hacks are in the DL folder with my CAS stuff, they show up fine. It's when I add my object stuff that there's a problem. Also incase I didn't mention it, it is only CAS stuff that is affected, all build and buy mode cc is showing up fine.
Thanks again for replying.

Try generating a fresh Downloads folder- it should be spelled with a capital D- Downloads. If it is called downloads then all items except CAS items will show up. If you still have an issue, try removing your Downloads folder then running Bodyshop so that the game generates the file for you. Then put your CC in there. If all this fails, then try disabling CC in game, then restarting, then re-enable and restart once more.

I tried those things when the problem first arose. I read the wiki article and have followed the instructions I read more than once. The only thing I haven't tried is a full reinstall from base game up. I only posted here because I had no idea what was going on as it was an entirely new problem for me. As I said, I do need to reinstall AL sometimes if I enter a lot and only generate new folders if I've only been in the CAS screen. Anyway, it does seem that it is a downloaded file problem, I still haven't worked out which one though. I'm still in the process of putting individual folders in and running the game to see if that's the one. So far so good but I did some deleting on the way so I may never know until I download it again, and I probably will because I'm trying to put together a medieval neighbourhood and there's not that much. It's nasty though, I tell you.
Thanks again
