Custom Content just gone!!!

Post by Bowlady1955 » August 30th, 2021, 12:47 pm

So I deleted some old Sims 3 Family's I had, that either never played anymore or they were so glitched that I decided to delete them. When I logged back in after deleting them plus deleting the CASPartCache, compositor Cache, scriptCache, simCompositorCache, and the socialCache. I then rebooted my computer and logged back in to started a new game and all the clothes, walls, floors, furniture etc. that I had changed to my custom colors were gone. Is there a place they might be saved so I can put them back into the game without starting over from scratch. These are the things I've been inputting for the last 3 years since I started playing Sims 3. I hate to believe I have to start from scratch to color everything again.

Is there a file that they might still be in? I'm not sure where to look.

Thanks again for everything ya'll for everything you do here. It is always appreciated. Wouldn't know what to do without this awesome site.

Cheers,

Did you by any chance delete the userPresets.package by accident? I believe that's where CAST saved presets are (custom colours, etc...) Check if you have still have that somewhere. :yes:

Bowlady1955,

95mmaa is right. If you still have your userPresets.package file somewhere, put it back and all your recolours will reappear as if like magic! ;-)

Thanks so so much, Yes I still have my userPresets package. I'll make sure it's still in the game, if not I know it's on my desktop
