Halp! I'm an idiot.

In CAS, I stupidly saved an EAxis recolor (formal sportscoat) as custom content.  I tried removing the userPresets.package from the Documents folder; it deleted the EAxis recolor.  Anyone have an idea how to fix this, besides reinstalling the game?

You should be able to click on the preset/icon for whatever in CAS and delete it using a trashcan icon somewhere in the UI. Also, new thread, really?

Didn't know exactly where to put the question.

But it's an EAxis recolor, not one I made.

What I said still stands - the trashcan icon will delete the extra color/mistakenly saved recolor for you. However, if you'd really like to reinstall over this, you can! Be sure to delete all of your saves and whatnot, that one mistake has probably infested the lot of it!

The game thinks that it's something you made. Listen to the Crunk type person.

Also, really? New thread for this?

I'll try it.

 How do I move it into an existing thread?  And which one?

EDIT:  Didn't work.  It deleted the EAxis recolor completely from the game.

You can't move it. A mod would need to.

And either we misunderstood exactly what it was you did, or it sounds like a bug if it deleted the EA one from the game when you tried to delete the custom copy you made of it.

It's kind of difficult to explain.  I clicked on an EAxis made recolor and stupidly clicked "Save as Custom Content."   The EAxis recolor then had a custom content icon on it; there was no duplicate made.  Does that make more sense?

That does indeed and it sounds fucking retarded. Well, at least we now know how to get rid of the EA made presets. I'll poke around with that "feature" and see if I can figure out what the default files name is, and where it needs to be put in order to get the Ea made ones back.

I already reinstalled the game.  But that would be great, in case I make other fuck-ups.

[crunk]

Nevermind.

Reinstalling - isn't it grand? Thank god there aren't install limits on this, I've uninstalled twice already.

[Capitaine Marie]

Reinstalling bites.   And here's the worst part:  After reinstalling, CAS is still missing that same EAxis recolor!  Aarrrgh!!!

[crunk]

Did you by chance back up the Electronic Arts folder from your Documents folder, and pop the whole thing back in? Either that, or! No Eaxis recolor for you!

[morriganrant]

Well, the design settings have to be located in the user files somewhere, otherwise you wouldn't be able to create more or delete them, if they learned anything from that Freetime sewing machine fiasco that is. So replacing the entire user folder with your first would not give you the original file back. The default should be in the program files. I'm just not sure what the file would be named.

[Capitaine Marie]

I didn't save my previous user folder, so I don't know what's going on.  I'm almost starting to think I imagined the whole thing.
