This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, University Life
PLEASE HELP: Can't find the file for these bad CCs:
I went through on my Sims3Dashboard.exe and deleted all the cc that was corrupted or conflicting, but for some reason I still have these problem outfits still in my game:

Could someone tell me the name of these files so I can go and delete them? I have been reading a butt ton of guides and I really do not have the slightest idea how to get rid of these specific outfits, other than finding out what their file name is and just deleting them in Sims3Dashboard.exe.

I get my custom content by using The Exchange on the sims3 site and just downloading sims. After I downloaded a few sims I went and deleted the corrupted and conflicting cc, but those three outfits are still lurking in my game.

If you cannot find the cc files from the launcher, then the cc might be attached to the .sim file itself. In that case, the only solution is to remove the whole sim.

Yeah, I remember those boots. Not sure if they're the same as these, though (frst pic): http://sims3.crinrict.com/badcc/en/BadCC_Clothing.html There's also similar swimsuit on that page.


Also, no one should never download absolutely nothing from the Exchange. It's a common knowlege. Doing so is just asking for trouble. I wouldn't touch the Exchange with a ten foot pole.

Thanks for the advice. I will stop using it. uvu;

I'm also having some problems with my game being slowed down and crashing. OTL

Is there a way to find out which sim is holding the stuff that's doing all this? Or should I just go delete all the cc sims? :c

Also, I don't see a uninstall option in my launcher. How do I even get rid of these sims? owo;;;

Since you downloaded the sims from the Exchange, then they are in Sims3pack format and should also be visible in the launcher. Did you search from the Installed Content -> Family tab (the one with the image of three sims)?

Well, if you can find those sims again from the Exchange, then you can check out what they're wearing. Or you can find their Sims3Pack's from the Dowloads folder and check them individually with Delphy's Custard. With Custard you can also delete files from the Sims3Pack before installing.

Good help page for referance: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/custom-content-cc/bad-cc

The crashing can be caused by bad cc. A good program to analyze crashes is the Sims3CrashLogAnalyzer. It's very easy to use: http://modthesims.info/d/416883

I have uninstalled exchange sims and deleted the cache files that went with them. What's the DCbackup folder? Could that restore all the cc I just got rid of?

backup folder holds copies of your installed Sims3Packs and those are not normaly used for gameplay. They can be deleted or moved to some other place for safe keeping. Horever, in the DCBackup -folder there is one file called "ccmerged". Do not delete that file or your store premiun content won't work right anymore.
