Hi, I recently got the Showtime exp and my CC doesn't show up, well, not completely, it shows some things, but not nearly all of them.

I followed the instructions in the help pages, updated my Resource.cfg file, patched my game to the latest patch (1.32) and tried the nointro mod (which works). My CC was working fine before installing Showtime, so I'm completely baffled at what could be the reason for this.

Anyway, hope that someone can help me.

Game Versions:
The Sims 3: GameVersion = 1.32.3.015001
World Adventures: GameVersion = 2.13.6.009001
High End Loft Stuff: GameVersion = 3.9.6.009001
Ambitions: GameVersion = 4.0.87.006001
Fast Lane Stuffate: GameVersion = 5.4.4.009001
Late Night: GameVersion = 6.2.4.01000
Outdoor Living Stuffate: GameVersion = 7.3.2.011031
Generations: Gameversion = 8.0.152.011001
Town Life Stuffate: GameVersion = 9.0.73.012001
Pets: GameVersion = 10.0.96.013001
Master Suite: GameVersion = 11.0.84.014001
Showtime : GameVersion = 12.0.273.015001

Resource.cfg content:

Which type do not show up? CAS or Buy/Build? Merged or individual ones? Have you done the 50% method to isolate and identify the problematic ones? Game Help:TS3 Finding Problem Custom Content
And if CAS, does it affect all categories: clothing, hair, makeup, etc? All age groups? Both genders?
Do you have Pets CAS items too, and is similarly affected? Again, across all age groups and all breeds?

Is this on a pre-1.32-patch Save or a newly created Starlight Shores? Or both?
Tested with new user folders and just one CC?
- Pick one CAS item and test.
- Then do another test, pick one merged package file.
- And yet another test, pick one Buy/Build item.
Let me know how all these turn out, all on new separate games and fresh user files please (except for the recreated Mods folder with only one item at a time).

Also how do you patch to 1.32? Which group do you fall into and which method within that group applies to you? State A-2 or B-1, etc.

Group A: Who has the leaked patch ?

People who used the superpatcher yesterday
People who reinstalled their game and patched from scratch
People who have not updated to 1.31 and patched directly to 1.32 with the superpatcher


Group B: Who does not ?

People who used the incremental patch
People who patched through the launcher but were already at patch level 1.31

Wow, well, this is embarrassing, I think I know what happened...In my zeal to clear space in my HDD I accidentally-on-purpose erased the dcdb0.dbc file in my DCCache folder. I usually clear the downloads and backup folder, and this time I went a little too far. I've just noticed how my Installed tab in the launcher was empty of content and, after some looking around, realized my mistake (I've been using the NRaas mod to skip it). I can't believe I didn't figure out that my missing CC was the one I got in sims3pack and installed trough the launcher. Feel like such and idiot.

So, thanks for taking the time to help me. (and sorry for being such a n00b :P )

Glad for your sake it was just a simple recoverable user-error. :) Happy Simming!
