Is anyone having this problem? I got a new gaming laptop and for some reason, unlike with my older, lesser computer my presets in CAS as well as any other preset saves in buy/build mode and patterns disappear, even after they're shown to have saved. I'll save them for later use, especially for a makeup and hair preferences, and then when I come back to reuse it, for some reason all of things I've saved has disappeared so I have to redo it all. Very annoying, though not game breaking. Is anyone else experiencing this?
My user presets package file is in the Sims 3 folder where it should be. Or at least I think it should be... is it supposed to being in another folder within the Sims 3 folder, like the other package files? I honestly can't figure this out.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@hunnypooh1 The userpresets file is exactly where these patterns are supposed to be saved. I've seen plenty of players report that their saved patterns disappear, though; I've always thought that the file itself might be corrupted. It's also possible that some patterns, like makeup, don't save correctly at all. It's easy enough to test—pull the file, load a test game, and create a few custom styles in different categories. Quit and reload to see whether they all still show up. If they do, the issue was almost certainly your old userpresets.

By pull do you mean take it out completely? Or delete? It'll just make a new one when I launch the game, right? I'll try it.

Well that most certainly fixed it. Thanks.
Moved the userpreset package file to my desktop and did as instructed. Everything saved as it should have.
