Did I get this blacklisting right? I have the dreaded boots and they're showing up on my babies. I have searched my packages for that instance but cannot find it.

Are you sure it is a baby? Babies don't have shoes or any other type of clothes.
Maybe you mean a toddler?

To find a package in your mods folder for CC you wanna delete f.i.
Have you used this method?
- After you have logged the item by right click close your game
- download nraas packer (it a standalone tool, do not install in your mods folder, better somewhere else)
- open packer and click the search icon
- enter the full instance number
- choose the folder where your CC clothes packages are
- hit search
- your editor will open with the name of the path if it finds a match, so you can find it easily

But if you have this item installed via launcher, this will not work.

Yes I'm sure its on a baby. The boots CC is improperly coded to be available on all life stages. I have no idea how I got this CC, as I cannot find the package or sims3pack of the sim I first noticed it on.
I had no choice, the boots were enabled on the baby and no way to turn them off. Once the baby aged up to toddler, then I could pick a different shoe and things were better.
I have used S3PE to search for it, now I will try Packer, thank you.

can you link a screenshot?
That is weird, because babies have no "legs" and feed.

I hope you will find the culprate package.
If you do, mark the CASP file in it and
hit the Grid button in the navigation panel at the bottom line.
In it expand the
AgeGender > Age part and set baby to false and commit.

C-Dark, this is known bad custom content that has been spreading through the Exchange, and maybe elsewhere, going as far back as 2010. Google turned up a few images, including these from the officials:

https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discus ... -the-boots
https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discus ... lease-help

The boots are almost as notorious as the Arezzo counter and the doll.

Thank you. That's right, downloads from Exchange always need to be checked, means, sims3pack should be converted, extracted, the content inside (packages). And also in the extracted packages then can be more then one item.

I found crinricts list main page with all categories
https://sims3.crinrict.com/en/custom-content-cc/bad-cc

and the clothing list bad CC list (maybe not havein all bad CC listed which exists)
https://sims3.crinrict.com/badcc/en/BadCC_Clothing.html

I wrote about a tool here the S3packageviewer which is really cool, can also read sims3packs and you can extract to package file with it too. post93267#p93267

The baby already aged up so i have no pictures, but here is the CAS log:

I have followed Crinrict's instructions, but I cannot find that instance in any of my package files using S3PE nor Packer I also used S3PE to search my *.dbc files, and nothing there either. I can't uninstall using the Launcher as I have so much content the Launcher crashes. I have not tried running the launcher with one *.dbc at a time yet, though, as Crinrict also mentions. I will try S3PackageEditor too now. They must be hiding on a sim I installed.

Thank you all for your help so far.

Yeah that seems to be possible, S3packageviewer is also capable to view everything in any sim file like sims in your library folder too.
With packer you can also change the search directory to your library or any other folder where package files are in.

(has sudden flashbacks to the Arezzo Counter Fiasco weekend I once had many years ago and runs to the medicine cabinet to see if anything there will help...)

Was that the one where you finally found yourself shouting in triumph at the computer screen in the middle of the night, or whenever it was, and then briefly worried that the neighbors were going to call in a wellness check?

I will say that stories like this are why I am extremely careful to NEVER download anything, from the Exchange or from third-party sites, without protection.
