Custom Content Clothing, Hair & Makeup Not Showing Up

What is the protocol on this? It was enabled before installing Nightlife. The new pop-up reminding me of it appeared and asked whether I'd like it enabled or not. Clicked *yes*.
What's the problem?

*Cough* *Cough*
It's been pretty well established that custom files will not show up in Nightlife until you enable them, then restart the game. Changes to that setting are not applied until the game is started again.

I had a similar problem with clothing hair and makeup in my game - everything was enabled, it was in the right places... everything else showed up and worked, but not this!
Moving it from downloads to savedsims helped.
Before I tried moving it to savedsims, I contacted EA's tech support - took 3 days, but they did eventually get back to me with the solution "rename the downloads folder to Downloads" - make sure it has a capital D... I'm yet to try this, but it sounds like you're having the same problem I did.

Thanks Ness. I should have mentioned that I had *tried* enableing everything and still no worky. It's strange to me that all of the other downloads (recolors, etc) work as intended just not the makeup, hair and clothes. I'll mess around as you suggested. If I'm not back here whining in a few minutes consider this problem solved.
~thanks

That capital D "thingy" is utterly rubbish. It doesn't change anything - though savedsims does.

Or you could also try what's helped some people: Take your downloads folder out of the game completely and start up Bodyshop. That'll create a new Downloads folder automatically. Then move your files to this new folder and start the game. It's worked for some with this problem but apparently not all.

I thought the capital D thing was rubbish too...
until I tried it, and it actually did work!

Really... because my downloads folder was Downloads since the beginning.
Heh.

During the brief time before I uninstalled Nightlife, I discovered that it's important not to enter a household until you've restarted the game after turning on custom content. If you enter a household, your characters can be permanently messed up.

Changing the downloads file to Downloads was the only correction I made and when I next booted up my game everything was available again.
Excellent rubbish!

glad it helped!
I was extremely skeptical myself - but now I am convinced... something, somewhere is obviously case-sensitive... at least I know I'm not the only one who got caught in the same trap - thing is, it was fine pre-NL, this just started afterwards.
who'd have thunk!
