Hey! So I've recently gotten a new computer and finally set CC Magic up a week ago!

Due to my hard drive (c) being small I've done a hardlink of my documents to my secondary drive (s). I'm noticing cc that is in cc magic is now not showing up in game since I've done the hardlink. I've uninstalled CC Magic and am reinstalling to fix the issue. BUT if it doesn't work, I want to understand how I can get CC Magic to work with the new game destination?

After Downloading CC Magic. The Automatic Downloaded file set-up, I've came across an Issue. Open CC magic and hitting play through cc magic it closes as if it's trying to run the launcher itself but Sims 3 launcher doesn't respond by any means. Can someone please help me solve this problem. I've checked all possible issues

Can anybody possibly explain to me why only some of the thumbnails are not showing up for clothes? All of my CC are .package files. I just want to be able to go through and delete specific pieces of clothing that I don't want in CAS & this seems like the right program to be able to go through your CC & see what you have. But without all of the thumbnails it makes it slightly more difficult. Somebody help?

Does anyone know what causes your Default folder to be empty? CCMagic just won't load any of my cc... I've followed all the tutorials, but no matter whether I put .package or .sim3pack files into the download folder, none of them show! It seems like CCMAgic won't recognize any of them

Okay so, if I put my package folders into ccmagic/content/packages folder, it shows up in CCMagic but when I press rebuild nothing happens. No cache folder is created or anything. I don't know what I did to fuck up this programm so much but if anyone knows what I did please - help?

I have this 1 massive problem with CC Magic & I have no idea how to fix it.
The game keeps bringing back deleted CAS Parts. If I delete CC Magic & launch the game, everything works fine. If I install CC Magic, it's back. The CAS Part won't show on the CC Magic list either.

Doesn't work. Setting a path to the game launcher crashes the program and when you click help it links you to some scam website. Epic.

2. open windows console
3. cd to "..\Documents\Electronic Arts" folder
4. mklink /J "The Sims 3" "Die Sims 3" <-- path to folder your installation is actual using goes here

*Be aware that this is NOT a copy but just a second name for the SAME folder. If you delete or copy something into one of the twins, it will also be changed in the other.


Hi guys!
Even though this is a veeeery old thread, I still hope for someone to help me.

I have the very same problem with CC Magic as described by Flowen.

Could someone please explain steps 1-4 (okay, 3 and 4 ) further to me, I am not quite sure how to proceed to make this work in the German version.

Thanks! ♥

Default CC Magic
Hi I would love to use cc magic but it keeps both the merged package files and the original unmerged package files on the same hard drive which takes up space. Is there a way I can keep them separated on different hard drives? Please reply

Fixed Framework .NET Issue!
Quote: Originally posted by mimisapje
Hi,
I'm not entirely sure if this discussion is still being checked. But I've run into a bit of a problem on a new Windows 10 (fall creators update)
Whenever I try to install the requirements (framework 4.0 & C++ libraries), i get the error that a new version of the framework and libraries is installed and the installation won't continue.
The installation of CC magic gives me no errors, but when I run the program, it crashes immediately. If i check the logs I can see the following error:
"Fatal | [CCMagic.App] -- Unhandled ExceptionSystem.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): SQLite error
duplicate column name: InstallDate"


If i google it, then I found that the issue is cause by a missing framework.
Deinstallation of my current installed framework isn't possible, cause it's built in in my OS.

Is there a way to resolve this? Or a work-around?

THERE IS A WAY!

I finally managed how to make this work out on Windows 10, so I'm sharing what I discovered.

You only need to install .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack Offline and it wouldn't crash anymore. :lovestruc

I wasn't able to download .Net 4 framework either, but i was able to download .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack Offline thanks to your link above. Is this all I need to run cc magic, then? (I already have a 2017 version of C++ installed on my pc.) I don't want to mess up my computer again! I used cc magic last week without any .net 4 framework at all, and something went wrong, and I had to totally reinstall my Sims game. (I don't have that much cc yet, so it wasn't a giant deal to reinstall it, but I should get it right before I mess something up again.)

I installed ccmagic today as my computer had failed requiring an reinstall on all my programs. As I completed the installation I noticed that the prerequisite software requirements don’t work. The .net framework says I have a newer update installer and both of the visual c++ links link to a download that is no longer available. When ccmagic tries to launch it crashes and in the logs it states that it could not load system.data.SQLite.doll or one of its dependencies which means the program needs the prerequisites. I have been searching the mod page, forums and reddit and not found a solution that works with the inability to download the programs. Is this a lost cause or does anyone know of any other way of fixing this? Thank you for your time

I know this is 2 years later but for anyone else that needs to know this. You will have to delete that hardlink for your Sims 3 docs and instead move your folder to the other disk. Then CC magic will automatically just create it's folders in it. If that makes sense. CC magic on the other hand I don't get at all, so confusing

Hope you see this, I'm late to it and there doesn't appear to be much support on this anymore. What I do know is that you can install older versions of .net framework and have them on your PC at the same time, the old one doesn't install over the new one or delete it, I have more than one on Windows 10 and had more than one on windows 7. I actually came to this post for help too, can't work out if I can use this to merge my files without creating collections, I have my own collection files.

I'm having the exact same issue, the visual c++ links just lead to error 404 pages and so I can't get cc magic to work at all. I really hope there's another way to download those, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

I'm having the same issue here. I just finished installing TS3 on my new Windows 10 laptop. Now I have a ton of cc I need to get into the game somehow, but I can't get CCMagic to work. It just flashes up briefly and then closes again. It leaves a massive log file in my Electronic Arts folder which is beyond my ability to understand. I downloaded and installed .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack but that made no difference at all. I'm at a loss! Can somebody help?
