elau's default skins
ladymiriam:
Oh no, I feel for you, it's rubbish when you think you've done it and bam! it's still there. Again, I would suggest generating new folders, if the maxis ones are there, the problem is in your user files but then you know that. Also, you may have done this but many of us don't, go back to the download page at MTS and read every page and especially every comment there, someone may have had the same issue with these skins. Sorry, don't know what else to suggest but hope you get there.

If it is showing up in the game, then it is a file in your Downloads folder (or, though a thin possibility, Saved Sims or Collections folders).
If you haven't already, temporariuly move the Dwonloads folder to your desktop and see if the problem goes away (just Quit, don't Save the game). If it doesn't, then the problem file is in a different folder.
Also, in My Documents--EA GAmes--The Sims 2 folder, delete the following if any of them are ethere:
groups.cache
accessory.cache
cigen.package
Perfectly safe to delete those; the game will generate fresh ones if it needs them.
Though time-consuming, the old reliable 50% method may be of help:

Just remember not to Save the game when you have temporarily removed content.

i have a lot of files in my SavedSims folder that start with ebbfd947_ and have random numbers and or letters after that. ive tried and im at my wits end. i dont want to delete all my CC because it has taken me a long time to find it all. i dont know what else could be the problem. wait, searched my downloads folder and i found one of the files for Enayla's skintone called Early Spring and I scrolled to the right and it said File Folder next to it. any ideas?

Temporarily move that folder out and see if the prob goes away.

Those are things that were created by the same creator. Most probably they are sims and probably made by you since they all have the same filename start sequence of characters.
Delete all the cache files, plus cigen.package. From the sounds of it, you either had more than one set of skintone default files in your folder or you're clicking on icons for custom skintones and thinking they are defaults. Also, "I clicked on the one next to S4" is not very descriptive. You could be clicking on S3 or on a custom skintone. So what are you actually clicking on? I can understand your frustration but "I clicked on the one next to it" does not actually tell us what you clicked on. You say "I clicked on a skin and it showed up as Enayla's ..." - did you click on a default or on a custom skintone? How many icons are there in the skintones section? Are there just 4 or are there more? Because I genuinely have no idea what you are clicking on.
