Title: Custom Content Not Showing Up In Seasons
Post by: dadditude on 2007 March 03, 04:44:10
Help! I just recently installed Seasons and I can't get custom content to show up in my game. I have followed all the instructions in the article here: http://www.modthesims2.com/article.php?t=192907 but to no avail. The only custom content I have installed is as follows:

The FFS Stuff that has been approved/updated for Seasons, in a FFS Subfolder
Numenor's Tanning Bed Donation Gift, in a Numenor Subfolder
Simsbaby's Hidden Clothes unhiders and Outerwear conversions, in a Simsbaby Subfolder
All the official downloads from the Sims 2 home page, as well as the bonus items from previous expansions and the swingset from Target for Seasons, in a Maxis Subfolder
The CEP, in the root downloads folder
The RLS Shaders installed by Scriptorium, also in the root downloads folder

Does anyone have any suggestions (OTHER than those mentioned in the article referenced above) that might help me get my custom content showing up agaiin?

Thanks in advance!

I didn't read the MTS2 article because I'm on dialup at home and didn't want to waste the time, so I don't know if the following was mentioned. 

If not, give it a try:

1. Move everything out of your My Docs\EA\Sims\Downloads folder.
2. Delete the Downloads folder
3. Start BodyShop.
4. Close BodyShop
5. Move everything back to the new Downloads folder

Did you remember to restart after enabling CC?

Try turning on the custom content dialog, then restart the game, make sure custom content is enabled, and then restart the game once more. I had to turn on the custom content dialog before CC showed up. Other people have just had to restart their game several times before it started working.

Looks like you may not have any downloads that require the CEP, but if you do, try reinstalling the CEP, it usually needs to be done when a new EP is installed.

Yep, that's what I did. I had left the CC disabled and then turned off the CC dialog. Fixed now. Have to remember that for next time.
