Content created pre-ofb won't show up post-ofb - daemon tools?

[Skadi]

I have a creator on my site who has been using daemon tools since day 1 to play her game.
Content that has been created pre ofb is now not showing up in any post ofb game.
Its been tried on systems with and with out patch, with and without FF pack.
Is it possible that something in the maxis code knows that daemon tools was involved and has FUBAR'ed these files?
Is it possible that the clothing code has changed enough to do this with OFB?
I'm at a loss and its a lot of work to do over.
I'm hoping someone can help
Thanks

I've been using daemon tools for a while, and I've not had any problems with NL, OFB, or FFP and it.  So it's probably not daemon tools causing the problem.

I use daemon tools 4 in combination with a safedisc hider to launch OFB, and haven't the problem you describe.
Is this in bodyshop? If yes, is your user using the correct version?

I know this seems a little obvious...  but are you sure it's not a problem with the CC being disabled by default when OFB is installed?

[Skadi]

Its not the custom content disabler, as I have 2GB in my game.
See we are rephotographing all the stuff, and it won't show up in CAS. 1/3 of her content is non existant.
For those who use Daemon, have you got content that *you* created before OFB showing up? She is the only one who uses it, and its those who don't that can't see it...
Not sure about bodyshop, I'll try there and report back.
EDIT: I've just checked and it will not show in post OFB bodyshop either

It sounds more like an in-game issue, I use a combination of Daemon Tools and CureROM with OFB and it works fine.  I don't make skins, but a custom skintone an a "townie" set that I have work fine.

Does any other type of custom content show up other than skins?

[Skadi]

I have no problem with any of my custom content except for the stuff made pre ofb by the user with Daemon tools.
Its really weird...

Sounds like a personal problem to me, soldier.

Update - I managed to convince the creator to un-install daemon tools and have a play, now all the old content is showing for her, and she can copy it to make it show up for us.
One strange thing I did notice is the clothing files were missing text list, binary index and had a different material definition thread.
I'm not sure what difference that would make.
I did how ever want to say thanks as at the request of one of the co-owners I posted this thread on MTS2 where I was told that my thread was locked because of piracy. I personally would like to slap those who make MTS2 policy around the head with a frozen trout, as my problem was not a pirate copy, nor was I advocating piracy.
Thanks to all of you! I finally was able to convince my co-owners that this place is really More Awesome than anywhere.

I am convinced that this is coincidental at best, because I've never had the problem, and I've always run on a backup CD image since day 1 as well. Those files sound a little dodgy to begin with, if they're missing bits.

I'm hoping it is just a unique case of PEBCK with a dose of dodgy windows/bodyshop interaction.
Thanks for your tiem and help!
