Sims 4 Holiday Free Stuff Pack Broke

★★★ Newbie

I have all of my packs installed, including the free Holiday pack. However, whenever I try to use it in my game, it looks like it's broken CC in CAS (I can click it, but the Sim just turns red and white with the question marks, if you've ever had broken CC in your game). Whenever I try to use it in build and buy mode, it seems like the meshes aren't there? I don't really know how to describe it, but I can click the object and place it, but then it either disappears when I do place it, or it stays and turns pink and blue. I'll include screenshots so you can see what I mean. It's really not the end of the world because I have the Seasons EP, but there are a few things that I used to use a lot, but I can't anymore. 

 

Some extra info: right now I don't have any mods or custom content in my game. This also occurred before all of my packs uninstalled (and I had to reinstall them, even though there was still space taken up by them when they were installed the first time, so I had to delete a TON of stuff on my computer in order to download them again... it was a whole debacle, but what I mean by this is that it isn't doing this because it got uninstalled with all my other packs. One day it was working, the next it wasn't.)

 

The first image I attached is what it looks like when the Sim has any clothing from the pack on. I put on the slippers that came with the pack for example. It reminds me of what it looks like when you don't have the mesh for CC installed, and only the color or texture (I don't know, I can't make CC). The second image is what happens with the build and buy objects. I placed two sets of presents, and you can see that they're just colors? Also, objects like the Christmas tree and all of the rugs look normal in the catalog, but disappear when you place them (obviously I couldn't show that in screenshots). Some objects look broken in the catalog, too, which hopefully you can see.

 

Thanks for the help if anyone has it! Standard smile

New Expansion Pack Made Sims & Cities Disappear

★★ Newbie

Hello, 

 

On Wednesday I downloaded a set of expansion packs.. Tiny Living, Eco Style, and another one (can't remember). After I downloaded it all of my sims were moved into a library and the cities that they originally lived in disappeared. The sims that come with the game and live in the realm of magic city or eco friendly town are still there, but I can't visibly see them. Idk what to do. Please help!

Re: New Expansion Pack Made Sims & Cities Disappear

@wegeton  Try repairing the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  If that doesn't help, clear Origin's cache:

restart your computer, and repair again.
