My Custom Conten Isn't Showing Up In Game

[Music_Is_Life]

I just got Freetime and after installing it and eagerly beginning to play I noticed something was different about the lot I was playing in. All the custom content objects weren't in the game. So, I closed the game and restarted it. When it got to the loading screen and the box with the list of custom content showed up I made sure it was enabled, and then went to options while in the neighborhood I was playing and made sure the button saying 'Custom Content Shows Up In Catalogs' was checked. I restarted the game once again (which was very annoying - it takes forever to load) and the custom content still isn't showing up. All that's showing up is what my Sims were wearing before I installed Freetime and their genetics and the custom walls/floors. I've been looking through search engines for the past hour and a half to figure out what to do and I've done everything that's been suggested.

I'm at my wits end - From what I've seen this is a really cool expansion pack and I want to be able to play it with all my custom content because it makes my life easier. Has anyone on here had and fixed this problem?

Did you install the FreeTime patch?

I'm hesitant about installing the patch because I've read that in some cases it can cause a lot of problems with other various programs due to the software it's on and that a lot of people seem to be having problems with it.

I installed it without any problems & if you don't install it don't use the sewing machine or you will have trouble installing the patch

I managed to fix it, but it involved a lot of starting the game, quitting the game and restarting the computer. I just hope it doesn't happen with the next expansion pack I install (it took a long time and I'm impatient).
