CC help and InSIMenator help? ~Pet Stories~
Engram:
Totally agreed. Stuff that makes sims purty seems to be OK. But I wouldn't put anything that does anything cheaty in there because those story mode goals seem to be rather fragile and keep getting stuck for people who try to cheat their way through using the InSimenator and other hacks/mods.

I don't have pet stories, but I've had SLS since July...yet the welcome pack was unusable to me until a week or so ago. I had them in my dl folder but for some reason the game didnt recognize them.
My problem had a simple solution: I opened my dl folder and selected the item (i.e., welcome pack items) and used "open with" choosing Sim2Pack clean installer; then I simply clicked install and when I when back to my game the content showed up.
Nothing changed about the way the package looked in my downloads folder it just was now recognized.
I don't know why those packages needed that extra step--since I usually just put stuff in the folder and it shows up automatically, but it worked so I'm satisfied.
Engram:
Umm... That's probably because they were Sims2Pack files and not .package files. Sims2Pack files need to be installed while .package files are automatically read by the game. Sims2Pack files are for TS2, the SLS files are called something different but the concept is the same - .package files get read, the LSPack files or whatever they're called need to be installed.

Since you've attempted to enable and disable custom content numerous times, it's probably in some sort of unknown state and confused about it's own identity :D Try deleting the usual suspects - groups.cache, accessory.package, the whole Thumbnails folder. That should refresh all the cache and thumbnail files for you. See how you fare then. Also, make sure that the stuff you are trying to put into the game does not require any EPs. With the Stories games, it's safest to go with stuff that has it's own mesh and is not a recolour of a TS2 object.
Deleted Groups.Cache and the Thumbnails Folder contents - did you mean accessory.cache? because I dont have .package x3
Thank you by the way.. ^.~
EDIT:
Ooh, ooh!!
I tried using the SIM one - where you get interaction commands when you click a Sim and.. and.. it worked.. so.. I clicked around a bit and managed to spawn the InSIMenator! ^.~
Yet to try it.. xD but I have it now.. (I was always trying the OBJ one.. x3)
So it -may- work... Hopefully.. xD

Thanks but that's way too easy, lol. If you look below you can see that SLS welcome pack items like the DJ booth & the Drum set are .package files not the clearly recognizable Sim2Pack files:
I'm not an expert but those look like .package files to me. At any rate all files that I have placed in my dl folder that looked like the second two above have worked immediately after placing them in there.
It was the S2pack files that gave me the idea of trying to use S2clean installer to "install" the welcome pack items and see if it made the flies usable to me (i.e., appear in the game). So it worked for me and that's why I passed the info on. Hope it helps.
