new problem, disappearing content

[spiderviveka]

It hasn't been long since I resolved my crashing problem.

Today I downloaded a bunch of new custom content. When I went to play my game, it crashed. So I deleted all of the content I downloaded today and tried again, and sure enough it worked.

When I was deleting todays files, I also deleted the file cache, but on accident I deleted the content registry. So I started the game without it and none of my custom content would show up in the CAS window except for my default skins and eye colors.

I restored the content registry back to its original position and tried to play again. Still the same condition.

When I go to one of my pre-existing lots, all of the sims are still wearing their same custom outfits. They has custom hair and eyes, and their heads are the color they are supposed to be. But the rest of their bodies are default skin colors.

Was this caused by deleting the content registry or is that coincidental? What is causing this and does anyone have any idea of how to fix it?

thank you in advance.

No, that content registry file is updated everytime you start the game but maybe because you deleted it, you needed to re-enable cc in the start-up window so a new list will be generated.  Putting the old file back did not harm anything since upon restarting the game, the list will be regenarated according to the new cc you have in the game.

Did you had to create your own download folder?  If so, did you typed it correctly meaning this way:  Downloads

I have the correct spelling. My custom content just wont show up anymore.

Yet, all of the content I personally created in bodyshop shows up. And my custom furniture.

Spiderviveka - Have you recently installed any expansion packs or stuff packs?

Have you tried deleting the Thumbnail packages?  There are links to the catalogue in the thumbnail packages that sometimes go wrong and the only solution is to delete then and force the game to regenerate new ones.
