I've downloaded a lot of stuff recently. Some of it works fine, but some don't show up at all.
When I start up the game it asks me if I want to enable or disable custom content. I choose enable but nothing bar some of the clothes, hair, makup and skins work.
None of the objects I've downloaded are there. In fact, most of what I've downloaded doesn't show up in game even though I've enabled custom content.
I've thought about completely clearing the Downloads file but I'm afraid of what that might do to my Sims which have custom content all over them- clothes, skins, make up and hair. Will it crash the houses because none of what's meant to be there is there?
Should I clear out my Downloads file and hope for the best?
I just want my downloaded stuff to work. I've put it all in the right place. I've double-checked. What's wrong with my Downloads file?

It happened to some of the stuff I downloaded. I think its because I don't have an ep that the custom item needs. do you have all of them?

yeah maybe the items you downloaded are in need of those. Thats the only thing I can think of that may be the problem.

If you do remove your downloads folder and then run the game, all of the lots should still load fine but all custom items will be replaced with Maxis ones; recoloured items will flash blue until you change the texture to a Maxis one and any clothing or genetics will be replaced with base game items. If you save the game before you exit then all of these changes will be kept. If you don't save before exiting and then put your downloads folder back everything will be as it was.

Thanks, I'll try that! You're a diamond!

I don't think anything real major will happen if you lose the cc. The last time I tried that, it was mostly hairstyles, and the game just replaced the sims' hair with this weird picture (like white with some unreadable red text), nothing a trip to the mirror to change their hair couldn't fix, though.

Are you sure that what you downloaded doesn't require a mesh to work?
