No custom content?

Okay. Here's my story: I have 3.1k things of custom content, and only about 1/8 of them work. Not even 1/8, actually. D; My default skins don't work, my custom skins won't show (unless I downloaded them from a Sim), a select few of Bruno's eyes are appearing, and all of my custom previews look awful. (I attached a picture of CAS to show you.) I downloaded other clothes, too, but they're not working. Here's the funny part: while all of the files are there, it's like they're invisible. I downloaded some of my other clothes that I previously had from Adele Sims to see if they'd work, and they do. Since I had them before (I downloaded them from a Sim and they were there), I figured that I'd have to prompt WinRAR to unzip the contents since I already had some of them, but I didn't. What's with that? Please help me~! D; I want to play so baaaad~!
Things to Know:
--I spelled "Downloads" right.
--I deleted my groups.cache and restarted.
--I'm enabling custom content.
--I'm allowing CC to be shown in the catalog.
--Build mode's CC works, all of it. At least the thumbnails do.
--Everything that doesn't need a mesh is working--eyebrows, makeup, certain clothes, etc.
--I reinstalled the game and now even the build mode stuff doesn't work.
I'm sort of upset that nothing's working. u___u Can anyone help me out, please?

Is the Downloads folder spelled correctly? (Capital "D" at the beginning, lowercase "s" at the end) :scratch:
If that isn't the case, you may want to delete your Groups.cache file, move your CC to a "spare" folder, then try to gradually add it all back in, testing the game out each time you add in a small group. :angel:

Yepyep. I'll do the groups.cache thing, though. :0 I'll see what happens. n_n Thank you!
Should I restart my computer when I delete it, though?

No, the game will boot up just fine. No need to restart.

Mii...that's strange. It doesn't seem to want to boot up.
That's not too big a deal for right now, as I am, yet again, downloading custom content. I hope it loads up when I want to play, though. ; n;

Well... in that case, if you tried deleting the Groups.cache file (and the Accessory.cache), you may want to restart. :lol: Might be that the game wants a little more memory... I have that happen to me from time to time, even though I have over 2GB of RAM and virtual memory working on my laptop. :angel:

Ha~! Likewise, except mine's a desktop. xD
Accessory, too? Okie doke, I'll try that and restart when I get all my good stuffs downloaded. o wo; -pets- Finally found the Sim I wanted~ yessss~
-edit-
Just tried it; still nothing. Hm...would a collection file have anything to do with this? I downloaded one. I think it might have something to do with it, because I've never had this problem until I downloaded it. ; w;

I'm not really sure... but you could try moving that collection file into the collections folder to see what happens. :dontknow:

That's where it was in the first place. ; n; I just deleted it now. I think I might have something wrong in my CC folder, so I'll just clear it out. And then I'll try my CC that I accumulated over a lengthy period of time from my old computer, see if that helps anything. >w>; Which it probably will not, but I can try.
...and it did not! DD: Maaaan~! I hope I won't have to re-install everything, but I'll do that if I have to.

Hallelujah!!...Im having EXACTLY the same problem!!!
My custom furniture is in the buy mode and I have my downloaded houses, yet when I go to make a family, no clothes, hair or make-up downloads are there!!....Yet a sim from my old laptop onto my new one is on my game, and she has custom hair, makeup and clothes!!...Do you know what is the problem??
*EDIT*
I found out, that all my lose package files, they show up in the custom window at the beginning, but not my downloads that are in folders with the name of the creator on it. Is that meant to be like that
*EDIT*
Ive just done the MTS2 Wiki article
http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU
and I did everything the way it told me to, and its the same, the lighting, wall, floor and bedding work, but the female sim, the male t-shirt and the hair dont work!!!
Im going to uninstall my sims, and reinstall it.....damn thing!!....
*EDIT*
Ive just uninstalled, and reinstalled it....still not working!!!...Ive sent a e-mail to eagames, I will tell you if they come back to me with help that works!!...lol

That
doesn't look like custom content problems... that looks more like a corrupted
objects.package
file. :shock: I had something
extremely similar
happening in Bodyshop and in game. Eh... I hate to say it, but you might want to break out all of your game discs... you may need to replace all of the object.package files for each EP you have just to make sure you've fixed the right one.
Here's a tutorial on MTS2 that might help you in this case
. :angel:
If that doesn't work, you might have to re-install like I did. :?

It's not in the compressed.zip file like all the other EPs? I'm not quite sure exactly where else it would be. I don't have BV, so I wouldn't know exactly where to look. Sorry. :dontknow:
