I couldn't get the launcher to download a household, so I used cc magic. That was my mistake, because the household came from the exchange. I didn't want to have to find a family and then download all their cc from other sites. When I downloaded it, I found quite a bit of "bad" cc. So I thought "Oh, I'll just remove it via launcher" Yeah, no. None of the cc that came with the family was found in the launcher, which really sucks! The only thing that worked was remaking the sims 3 folder, but then I would lose all my store content that I arrg-ed, and I don't feel like going through the process of finding the site where I downloaded them. I'm wondering if there is a specific folder that houses the cc, so maybe I can remove it. Or maybe I can remove it with cc magic? I don't know how. Is there a tool I can download that will find and remove them perhaps?

CC Magic completely takes over your CC management, or it did the last time I looked at it. This means that using it simply to avoid using the launcher is like using a blowtorch to light a candle. I know there is a way to use CC Magic to remove things that were installed with it, but I can't tell you how to do it. I remember thinking at the time that it looked like it was probably fairly simple, though.

I tried deleting my old sims 3 folder, and as it did work, all the cc came back when I added my mods folder back, I don't have any of the cc in that mods folder, so I can't understand how the bad cc is coming back.. T_T

I fixed it. It seemed to be hiding in a cache folder that I thought I needed, turns out I didn't need it.
