I always found the last exception assistant not really that great. Have you tried TwistedMexi's Better Exceptions mod? what is exactly the problem in game?

I agree on the new EA crAPP lol, this only started when I changed over from Origin. I agree if it ain't broke don't fix it, but companies can never leave well enough alone. I have a ticket on EA and this is the reply after a week:
Hi UNKNOWN,
"We’re sorry to keep you waiting. We know it’s frustrating when you have a problem and need help.
We'll email you and update your My Cases page as soon as we have new info.
Thanks for sticking with us,
EA Help"
I actually told them my name!! I think hell will freeze over before I get this resolved!!lol Anyone else feel like the help desk is AI?? Their phraseology and syntax in the initial email was weird. Anyway thanks Sparkiekong, have a nice day as they say!! :D

Thanks for replying Sparkiekong. EA have disabled Origin to all extents and purposes,you just get a big splashsceen blocking the original app, telling you to update to the new app where I believe my problem started. In the EA app there is no way to download anything, you used to be able to update by right-clicking on the game logo in the library. I've actaully got the new game just the actual game itself is not updating as it did before and I can't find a way of manually making it do it.

Hi, Has anyone ever had The Sims 4 not update to the newest version, especially after it seems to have downloaded an update? It seems I'm still on version 1.66.139.1020! I've done a repair on the game, uninstalled EA app and installed the original Origin app. Which did nothing as you are forced update Origin to EA, no choice. Cleared the EA app cache as well hoping that would force something to happen. I have posted a help request at the EA help centre, and am still waiting. If anyone had the same problem and possible solution it would be greatly appreciated as I keep getting exception errors all the time!! Cheers

Do you have mods in you mod folder? Usually it's something like that, a conflict somewhere with cc.

Sounds like a mod conflict. Have you taken out all your mods including cas and build and seen if the glitch goes away? I spend a lot of sim time looking for what's causing a conflict!! If you take out everything and find that the glitch goes away then it's the 50/50 method to weed out the bad mod. If it's still glitchy then do the repair on the game. Remember to have backups of your saves.

When I merge a file I always keep the unmerged files separate as a backup. If you did that and the merged file has become corrupted, I'd just delete the merged file and started again leaving out the merged shoe file.

I'm not sure from your description what is the problem. You say some but not all your cc is showing up. Is this cas or build/buy cc. If it's cas it could be that you haven't got the original model for a recolour. Same with build or buy, do you have all the original models for recolours? Have you batch fixed cc using Sims4Studio so it's all up to date? Try taking out mods and see if the cc shows up. It usually is something small, don't panic I've been in the same place so many times. You will sort it out.

Trouble with CMarNYC utility as far as I can see its it only does one cc pac file at a time and I have looooooads of cc skins!!Don't get me wrong I'm very grateful to CMarNYC for the work/share and hate EA again this month!! Please stop updating and breaking. Fingers crossed for a batch fix. I'm betting you have more skin details/overlays than actual skin tones based on my own CC numbers (I even downloaded twice as many skin tones as I had before the update... I kind of hope they change how genetic eyes are accessed! It'd be a pain to update but I'd have a lot more non-default eyes in my game if they gave me more room to view the swatches!) If it specifies male, female, or an age group in the name, that's incredibly high odds of it being an overlay and not an actual tone. No matter what, the program will know the difference.
So, if you really don't want to do them all manually, you should be able to merge every single skin tone file that you have together in Sims4Studio first. Then run that single file in CMar's skin conversion program (make sure that you've got version 2.3 btw.) It'll take a lot longer and say not responding but it'll run through everything on it's own and save properly. If you've merged a file that doesn't have a skin tone then it'll tell you how many files it examined and ignored because they weren't actually skin tones (Caveat: I don't know if that'll throw it off but I don't think it will since it seems to tell you at the end?) If you're feeling especially lazy, you can probably merge everything without checking what it is and let the Converter sort them out. Either way, I STRONGLY recommend creating a backup of all of your files before doing anything, especially merging them. That way, if you ever need to deal with the original files again (like needing to remove something and creating a new merged file) you have the individual files to refer to. You should also save the new file the converter makes into a completely new location, not even the same folder, with a new name (or just adding updated or something to the file name) so you know what it is.
Also, a lot of simmers who are still active should've updated their CC by now. I know Lamatisse already updated the Bare skintones, for example (which I absolutely recommend downloading if you didn't have them already!) I'm also open to skin tone recommendations; let me know some of your favorites. :3
Thanks dovecq, what you say seems pretty straight forward but it will take a while as I dooooo download way too much. Bit of an addiction lol. What a way to spend xmas!!!

I didn't think it could be done, creating a batch fix for the windows and doors as there are so many shapes and verities. The most challenging thing about playing the sims has always been the EA updates!! But never underestimate human ingenuity and perseverance. So a big thumbs up to yea all at sims4studio and especially Andrew!

Brilliant! Thank you! I’ll fix that in the file too xx Um, while you at it, there are some more in the folder Daer0n Doors & Windows 1 [Cutouts fixed by Dahlia] lol. The 2 Screen doors. They open from the wrong direction. Meaning since the door handle is on the opposite the door should open from there, too but it's not. I told her about those doors over a year ago and how to fix them. She said she will fix them. So I assume those files in that folder are still the old ones? Anyway, you can fix them easily by just adding a minus - infront of the number in the X axis like this:
Open the screen doors with Studio, click the rig/slot tab and just click on the _noBind_customHolder_E_ and change the X axis: 0.375 - to minus -0.375. That's it. Do that for both doors Thanks for that and the footprint fix!

Hello hello! I've been taking requests on my Tumblr for objects by retired or inactive creators that wouldn't otherwise be fixed so the community can enjoy them again. :D As requested, I've fixed: Enjoy and happy halloween! xx PS: if you don't have tumblr or would prefer to PM me on this site with a request, that would be fine! I'll try to check daily OMG!!! Thank you! And OMG on the amount of work, I imagine very repetitive after a bit! But again bit thumbs up for fixing these. Damn you EA and thank you xoxdahlia!
