| Geels Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Oct 2018 | Hi - not sure if this is allowed in here due to the fact that I think it's caused by a problem with an 'outside' program? If that's the case many apologies and I understand if the thread needs to be locked/deleted. I used Delphy's Download Organiser on my downloads folder after playing to reorganise some things - I've done it dozens of time's before and never encountered a problem. I didn't delete anything, just organised. I understand that sometimes the application removes files on it's own, though I've never encountered problems with this before either. My game has always been 100% fine after using this. Then I ran it last night and after I went into my game and noticed that 90% of my custom clothes for kids/toddlers are gone. They seem to be the only age group affected, all the CC I have for Adults/Teens/Elders is okay. No objects have been effected, only clothes. I've run the DDC on my folder with these clothes in it before and they were still there the next time I launched the game, the clothes weren't new to the game. In the game, they're either replaced by one of the Maxis seasons outfits, or it renders the body of the kid invisible and leaves just a floating head. Here's where I'm confused - the meshes etc are still in my downloads folder. Easy enough to find because I catagorise them all according to download - so I'm really confused as to why they're showing up broken in game when the files are all still there? I've tried opening the files in SimPE but to be honest I don't know my way round it, other than using it to change Sims data so couldn't really do much that way. I've attached an image of how the clothes show up in game and in body shop. Just rows upon rows of the same outfit. Once again apologies if this kind of thread isn't allowed. |

| DrewInTheSky Instructor Join Date: Apr 2009 | Can't see the pic from mobile, but here's what I noticed in my game. Sometimes, while moving some files around, the game stops reading them or, on the other hand, some of them start showing up properly. Right now, I think that you might have 'reactivated' a mesh that conflicts with most of your clothes, while you moved the files - or maybe some files are too deep in subfolder and the game doesn't manage to read them (I'm not sure about the number of subfolders you might have created). If I were you, I will try to re-download one of the clothes and replace both mesh and recolors to see if it works. Then I'd also trying to move some folders around and see if the game is able to ready any of them (maybe try renaming them, with the mesh folder before the clothes one). Not sure if any of this could work, but that's what I'd do. Hope you can sort the thing out! |

| Peni Griffin Mad Poster Join Date: Nov 2010 | You did not, in fact, attach the picture. However, that sounds like a problem with a mesh. Is anything you downloaded recently a default replacement? That would be the first thing to test, as certain meshes form the basis of a lot of custom clothing, and a big enough change in the mesh can cause catastrophic failure of a lot of clothes. Also, did you ask the program to delete orphans? I did that once, and lost some clothes that had worked fine before - something had caused it to register some false positives. |

| Geels Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Oct 2018 | The clothes in question are only 3 subfolders deep? Downloads - Bodyshop - Clothing - (name of folder containing broken clothes) would that be considered too deep for the game to read? Edit; I just noticed the picture didn’t show, however it’s telling me the files attached when I try add another one? Not sure what to do there. And no, I didn’t select any options to delete orphans and haven’t downloaded any defaults to my knowledge |

| Peni Griffin Mad Poster Join Date: Nov 2010 | How many folders deep something can be depends partly on the length of the file name. The problem is that the game can only read so many characters - and it reads the entire location string. So one file in a subfolder may be readable when the one right next to it isn't, if one has 20 characters in the name and the other has 22. I get the problem shown when I've downloaded a repository and don't have the master mesh everything else is slaved to; but that would hardly happen with clothes you've had for a long time. |

'The Sims 3' life-simulation video game published by Electronic Arts is one of the best-selling PC games of all time. Most players use the game exactly as Electronic Arts intended, but some prefer adding custom content in the form of mods to the game. Custom content is sometimes referred to as Sims 3 downloads, and it comes in three file formats:
- Sims3packs
- .Sim
Before You Download
Before you download custom content, you should install any patches that are available for your game. Go to the Updates tab in the Game Launcher to patch the game.
Only download content from a reputable site, and confirm that you are downloading content that is compatible with your version of the game. When you download custom content, the files are likely to be archived or 'zipped,' and you need software to unarchive or unzip them. You likely have this unarchiving software already installed on your computer.
Important note: Files for 'The Sims 2' are not compatible with 'The Sims 3.' You should only be using files made for 'The Sims 3.'
Sims 3 Mods Packages Folder Download
Installing Sims3packs
To install a .sims3pack download, just double-click the file and the game takes care of the rest. It takes longer than unzipping the downloads and moving the files around, but the good part is that the automatic install process ensures the files are in the right folders, and there is no chance they are placed in the wrong folders.
Installing .Sim Files
After you download and unzip the .sim file you want, move the file to your 'SavedSims' folder and open the game. You may already have a SavedSims folder. Look here:
Sims 3 Cc Folder
- Windows Vista/7: C:Users(username)DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3
- Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings(username)My DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims3
- Mac OS X: /Users/(username)/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/
If you don't have a folder called 'SavedSims,' you can just make one in the documents folder following the format above and put the files in there, but the folder name must be exact — SavedSims.
Installing Package Files
Sims 3 Mods Folder Download
The .package files have to be installed manually. Find your 'The Sims 3' folder (or make one if you don't already have one) and create a new folder inside called 'Mods.' Your downloaded .package files go into the Mods folder.
My Sims 3 Mods Folder Download
If it is necessary to create the folder use this path format: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims3/Mods/Packages folder.
