Sims 3 custom content not working since update?

[xxValiance]

I have hundreds of mods for my game. If it matters, the Expansions I have are High-end Loft Stuff and Showtime.

However, as of the most recent update, those mods have not been working. Even when I download new ones, they do not work.

It there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Sims 3 - Game Problems
Please go through this FAQ and follow the instructions, doing each step in order and not skipping anything:

Game Help:Sims 3 Game Problem
Most issues with the game can be resolved by following those steps.


Sims 3 - Incompatible CC
Every time you patch or install a new EP, most of your hacks will need to be updated or removed. If you are having any kind of problem and you've just patched or installed a new EP, remove all your custom content and delete your cache files (http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Delete_Cache_Files). Then, unless the problem is specific to one sim or lot, make a new town and see if the issue occurs there too.

If, having done so, the issue is fixed, then you have some incompatible CC. Any hacks - things which change the game's behaviour - are likely suspects and should be updated or removed; things like objects, clothes, hairs etc are generally safe.


Are the redownloaded ones updated by the modders? To be compatible with the "most recent update"?

Do the 2 test files included in the FrameworkSetup.zip still work?
If not, when you do the FAQ and test with CC removal and test the CC Framework on new user files (after step#3), do the 2 test files work, just by themselves?

And "they do not work" means what, exactly?
They don't appear in the catalogue?
The menu options appear, you click, but no interaction happens?
Or the interactions do happen, but in unexpected ways and have undesirable results?
