corrupted default mesh

[purecorkboy06]

one of the main default meshes has become corrupted. It is used on a lot of sims. This is quite a big issue and I have uninstalled and reinstalled so this is something I've tried to fix. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas? here are some screenshots

Which mesh is it? Is it possible you have more than one of the same type of default replacement in your game?

I'll post what it should look like tomorrow when I have time

You probably have a default replacement which is replacing the original one, just take that one out and it will fix it.  Until you remove it from your downloads folder, it won't be fix.

Reinstalling won't fix this if you keep adding the same downloads back in the game.

no i never used any default replacements. it can't be that

You might have one that you are not aware of.  Normal cc that are using mesh should not replace Maxis default unless specified.

At worst, take all of your cc out and add small batch until you found the culprit.

To really know if it is cc related or not, take ALL of your cc out and check if clothes are showing normally without ANY cc.  If so, then for sure something in your downloads is affecting this.

It is possible that you got it inadvertantly by downloading and installing a Sim that also included the mesh in the sims2pack file.

perhaps I can fix this with a replacement default and save me the trouble of sifting thru over 4gb of content. does anyone know a site for defaults?

You would be better off finding this replacement mesh and deleteing it. If you don't it could cause problems with whatever replacement you found.

Is the outfit on a Sim in the CAS sim bin? If it is you should be able to find the name of it by running her through the creation process. And then by doing a folder search or if you have the original file she came in you could use clean installer to find it.

Using 2 default replacement for the same thing is a no-no.  I guess you won't have a choice but to cut your downloads in 2 part until you found the culprit.  Maybe there is a mention of "default" the file name.

You can use Delphy's download organizer program (found at MTS2) to sorth them out in sub-category so if you put everything only in the downloads folder, you can seperate them into sub-folder so it will be easier to find the culprit.

I personally have a sub-folder into which I put all mods, another for clothes, another for hair, another for objects, etc...
