Title: Custom Content not showing up.
Post by: Luna_Alias on September 20, 2007, 01:04:17 pm
I uninstalled my game and just loaded Seasons EP, and I just started downloading Custom Content again, except it won't show up in Create-a-Sim. Catalogs Display Custom Content" is set to ON and "Display Custom Content Dialog at Startup" is set to OFF. I rebooted it a few times and it still won't show up. I dunno what else there is to do. :( Any ideas?

Make sure the Downloads folder is spelled with a capital "D".

It is. But according to my game, it doesn't exist at all. -.-"

Is your Downloads folder in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 and not Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2?

Arf, have you allowed the custom content at the first installation before setting the window on OFF ? If it's done sorry for the question. ;)

If you mean did I download custom content before I installed the EP? No...
But I was thinking of uninstalling everything and starting from scratch anyway, but thanks for the help! ^_^

Ok, I uninstalled it all, so I'm just down to the base game. And it still won't show up!!! ><" What else can I do!?

Have you tried deleting your "Groups.cache" file before booting up the game, and then adding the custom content back into your downloads folder?  Just a guess, but sometimes it works for me.

The "Catalogs Display Custom Content" function is really for anything in Buy/Build mode and shouldn't prevent the Bodyshop content from showing up in the game while either on or off.

I think what Mihura was getting at is have you enabled custom content at the start of the game, exited and gone back in?

Yes I have. I've rebooted it a few times. And I tried deleting "Groups.cache" but it didn't do anything.

What exactly is in your downloads folder?  .rar and .zip files or .package files?
