Replacement face mods won't show up
I've checked every FAQ I can find and so far nothing has been able to help me with this. I'm sorry if this is considered too simple a problem to post in the forums, but I really have tried everything I can think of. I just started downloading custom content today, and all of it is working fine with the exception of custom default face replacements. I installed a pack of them and no matter what I do they will not show up, even though custom hair and skin tones are all working.
I have deleted the cache files and thumbnails, made sure I've checked the right boxes in settings, changed the text in my config file, and none of it works. The replacements I installed can be found
here. It doesn't seem to me like anyone else is having a problem with these files, so I don't think they're corrupted.
I'm on a Windows 7 computer and I have the Sims 2 Double Deluxe edition (which comes with Nightlife and the entertainment pack).
I'm not really sure what the problem may be. I was wondering if maybe there is something different I need to do for the Double Deluxe edition to get the faces to work? I do not have the cigen.package file, never did. Is there some other file that would mask the mods? I don't think the faces are changing at all though, not just the thumbnails in CAS. I've tried both putting the face mods in a sub-folder and directly into the Downloads folder and SavedSims folder. I actually have not tried a sub-folder within SavedSims (I'll be shocked if it's that simple).
Thoughts? Ideas? Just ask if there is any other information needed. And thanks in advance for any help.
