it occurred to me that since the bunkbed update i haven't actually seen any custom bunk beds that work with the update despite the fact its been quite some time. the selection of ones from the game are rather small does anyone know of any? like ive seen plenty of ones from before that update that were completely custom but most are very broken. this is more curiosity than something i necessarily need but does anyone know of any? i was just thinking it would be great to have like a cheap red metal one like from my childhood. recolors or completely new designs would be great.

can someone make a mod (or guide me to a post if there already is one) so that teenagers can 'adopt as care dependent'? i have a household of only teens and younger and its frustrating me to no end that because no one is the parent or sibling of this one kid i cant like, punish them XDXD if i can have one of them adopt them as care dependent then they can stay unrelated biologically but i can get the full range of parenting which would be quite nice.

i have a question about bed mods, i know that after university came out it broke allot of them but i recently downloaded some older but really really cute cc beds like there were a few bunk beds and such. i ran all object batchfixes but it still kicks me out of university lots if i have some of the cc beds in there. is there no hope for them? or is it somthing i could go into manually in sims4 studio for each and fix?

I was trying to remake my childhood house on the game the other day and we used to have these closets in the hallways with mirrored doors but it occurred to me that not only do i not have any mirrored door closets but i don't have any custom closets at all in my game! I'm sure someone must have made some but i just have never seen any! Im talking the get together closets, the ones that can be placed through walls. 'Fashionista's closet', Perfect size closet, and the 'squaring it square' I love those but i would like more variety, does anyone know of any or have any custom ones?

Okay, well i think after some exhausting searches through cc and help forums and getting nowhere i explored the options of sims mcc again. i figured maybe it was set up to remove things cause i know you can blacklist things...well...i had nothing blacklisted but then i found 'sim item cleaner' which runs every sunday in game.. and for some unholy reason it was set up to remove shirts, shoes, socks, hats, face items and all makeup...every Sunday in game.... i-i don't even understand why this is necessary and i didn't tell it to do that... but i think that's what was happening. so i have altered that and removed all that nonsense and now im going to see if the problem persists. i assume it wont. but. i'm gonna be kind of irritated if it fixes it because i specifically asked on the mcc discord as well and they had no idea what was going on but whatever. feels like it would have been an obvious answer to someone that knew the feature was in there but whatever. i cant imagine they would have assumed i was dumb enough to turn all that on either so maybe they knew of the issue and just assumed i wasn't that stupid? idk but whatever. I couldn't find any help for this issue when i ran into it so hopefully if someone else ever has this problem my stupidity will be of use to them and they can learn from my mistakes.

Okay so, im having the WEIRDEST glitch i have ever run across sim wise and i'm wondering if its something that could have been caused by a batch fix. i don't necessarily think it is, but i cant figure this one out. i know that if you do the batch fix that removes cc for random it can cause weird issues with the eyes showing up properly so i'm hoping its something like that. i dont actually recall running a batch fix BEFORE i noticed the issue but im not ruling it out. and im still looking into things ...
okay, the issue: Randomly in game, i haven't actually been able to find any correlation for when it happens, all sims in world will suddenly not be wearing shirts or shoes...and the girls dont have any bras??? I have no idea why this is happening, i shouldn't have any nudity mods in here that would remove bra's and i don't know of any mods that randomly remove clothing? and like its not just them temporarily taking them off, they get completely removed from everyone's wardrobes. i can go back in and manually put shirts back on but i have to do that for every sim in world and i never know when it will happen again. ive run mcc and it doesn't detect any more outdated or broken or duplicate mods... ive run through all non cas mods and i just cant figure this out... im super confused. I think i noticed it starting the day before paranormal stuff went live. which i believe was after the pre-patch. im at my wits end here...

okay nevermmind, went through and took out anything that said eyes and that particular sim still wont work. even randomizing the eyes doesnt change the color just the shape...so. idk what i did to her. havent noticed it with anyone else atm so ill try making a twin for her and replacing her. actually i think it only happened after i tried using mcc to copy another sims outfits over to her...dont know why that would do it but there you go. cant figure out what other mod might have done it...if it happens again i guess ill try and take out mods folder by folder till i find one that effects it.

okay so i thought i had finally debugged all my cc and then i open up one of my families and my one sim wont let me change her eye color. of course normally when that's a problem its because there's a stray default eye color or two. i checked my folder of eye colors and removing it didnt solve anything.. might have a stray eye color or two in some other folder idk. is it possible that i have a default eye color that doesnt say default? if so is there a way to check if an eye color is default or non default? like is there a tag or somthing if i open it in the studio?

dont know why it happens only that it does. ive played a number of games fine, but then you go and replace each sim individually and tehn all maddness breaks out and things start glitching away and freezing for long periods of time. it reminds me of sims 2 where if you deleted a family but ppl remembered them all hell would break loose. Even so, Sims 4 doesn't really have a memory system and the vast majority of Sims don't have relationships or sentiments outside of their household in a brand new save; that includes Johnny Zest who is a disowned member of the Landgraab family (but not even an official member in the family tree.) There are some exceptions in newer worlds, like Snowy Escape for example, where EA actually created friendships and sentiments within different households, but those are exceptions. Do you have Snowy Escape? It might be better to simply make those Sims homeless and/or give them makeovers, if they seem to be a problem. Any homeless Sims should be safe to delete unless they're the ones you see constantly, but for example I know Father Winter gets replaced automatically by the game if someone marries him and the Sages will be replaced if you marry them. I've never needed to use MCCC to repair errors after deleting a Sim before. Also, MCCC will create relationships and pregnancies if you have Story Progression turned on, so maybe turn that off while doing this.
I also don't precisely know what you're doing when you say replace. How exactly are you replacing them? You say individually, are you referring to within a household as well? Maybe just give them makeovers instead of deleting them from the family if that seems to be a problem? Although you need to figure out which ones are the problem first because I still don't believe most Sims would cause one. You'd have to follow my advice to prove me wrong but it sounds like you haven't done that yet because you didn't mention it.
my guess is maybe i just have too many cc items used and its slowing it down? idk ill keep messing with it. ive tried all kinds of things with mcc. i had previously edited allot of households so on a newish game i was going through and pulling families into cas and just overwriting them with ones from my library. i went through and did that for all the families in the game, either replacing them like that or editing them. idk again maybe its just that all the cc i have on everyone slows it down. i do have an ungodly ammount. i do Try to keep track of what does and doesnt work cc wise.. i dk i think im just gonna give up on this save file. all i know is that when i do that and try and go into playing one of my custom families it starts messing up. taking forever to do things and lagging like crazy.

would it be possible to make a batch fix that makes the studio search out and remove all icons for mods? like allot of them have their own custom icons in cas, which is normally fine.. but im trying to search out all the shiny items and the custom icons i think are preventing me from seeing if their broken from cas? i mean i could be heavily misunderstanding how that works but it feels like it would make my life easier..... course... a batch fix to fix the shiny thing in the first place would be nice but i know thats been brought up before.

cufflink Theres this accessory over on mts that i loved but its been broken for a while, someone in its comments even grabbed a screen shot imgur.com/a/smoSrb9. wearing them causes the entire sim to go black. i was wondering if someone could either fix it or tell me how to fix it? im hoping its a simple fix. i really liked them but their creator hasnt been online since march 2019 so i dont have much faith in them fixing it.

I can't fathom why deleting any Sim would make a difference, as long as you still have at least one Sim left in the entire save, although removing pack-specific Sims might be an issue. For example, I don't know if removing story-dependent Sims from Strangerville could cause a problem, or maybe the ghost Sims from Cats & Dogs (IDK if they actually do anything lol just the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.) Try removing all of your CC, temporarily, because you still need to confirm without a shadow of a doubt that isn't a factor. Then delete the localthumbcache.package from your Sims 4 folder (I strongly recommend deleting it after every game session as this can remove certain bugs.) Just for good measure, move your screenshots to someplace safe, backup all your saves (maybe even delete them temporarily from the official folder after you do this; definitely backup and then delete anything with ver0 to ver4 in the name) and delete the cache folder (this has thumbnails from the gallery in it) and whichever folder has all the thumbnails that you see whenever you load the game (it has the images from the main screen, as well as any thumbs if you check a Sim for what pack items were used.) Don't touch the Cachestr folder; it's fine. Repair the game one more time, just for good measure, before you get started. Then start another completely new save; don't do save as from an older save. (I imagine you were using a completely fresh save but I'm saying this just in case.) Now, with everything fresh and clean, start deleting Sims that you absolutely don't want to keep. Don't bother replacing or editing anyone yet; you just want to confirm if there are any Sims that the game requires in order to function. Keep doing this until it gets buggy and see if you can pinpoint any necessary Sims. If you figure out who you have to keep but they're already gone in the broken save, see if you can find them in the gallery. If they aren't there, you'll need another fresh save so you can add them to your library. If adding them back into your game doesn't seem to help (the game doesn't recognize the copy as a true replacement), then save all of the Sims you made/edited into your library and start over with another brand new save. I know that would suck but it's probably easier and faster than trying to repair a busted save. You should definitely open the broken save anyway, just to see how it's doing without mods in case you're absolutely determined and need to post about it on the Official EA Bug Forums. Just make sure you close the game entirely and delete the things I mentioned before switching saves so it can be as fresh as possible when you do check it out. Sims 4 has far fewer issues with cross-contamination (Sims 3 had a much bigger issue with that) but it can happen, to an extent. If the deletion process goes fine and nothing seems to go wrong after deleting as many Sims as you want, put your Mods folder back in, clean up your Sims 4 folder as I mentioned before (without the repair, lol), and start editing and replacing Sims to your heart's content in the new save. As above, just copy anyone you want to keep into your library and add them to the new save. You should probably backup your saves in between each session, just in case a Sim from the broken save manages to break the functional new save when you place them in it. dont know why it happens only that it does. ive played a number of games fine, but then you go and replace each sim individually and tehn all maddness breaks out and things start glitching away and freezing for long periods of time. it reminds me of sims 2 where if you deleted a family but ppl remembered them all hell would break loose.

So i made my game angry again. i never learn, i went and made a new sim game and went in and replaced or edited all the sims in game. now idk how people normally do those townie replacement saves but im pretty sure im not supposed to actually be replacing and deleting the original sims because all kinds of bugs start happening. all kinds of freezing and stuff XD i know this isnt a case of bad cc or somthing because other save files work fine, i just made it angry. i have the mcc thing and using it to fix relationship errors, or whatever that button is, helps allot but there are still lots of bugs and im not sure what else i should run to debug it. i know back in the days of sims 2 there were all kinds of downloadable objects you could use to find and fix all kinds of running errors and im just wondering what else might be good to run in sims 4 besides the mcc. and no, repairing the game does not fix the problem. i spent allot of time on this stupid save file so i really dont want to have to give up on it.

Tumblr is a broken website that makes links look broken when they are actually fine. Right-click it and open it in a new tab (and use a workaround if you're using Avast or some other antivirus that's decided Tumblr is actually the devil instead of just a hellsite) and you'll be fine. Oh! thankyou! :D
