The Sims 4, launched in 2014, has consistently captivated players with its numerous expansion packs, mods, and custom content created by the game’s ardent fan base. This custom content, ranging from clothes and skins to new build/buy objects, enhances the gaming experience and keeps players deeply engaged.
However, custom content comes in two distinct styles, Maxis Match and Alpha, each offering a different aesthetic for players to choose from. While Maxis Match upholds the traditional Sims style, Alpha leans towards a more realistic look. Despite these exciting enhancements, problems can arise with broken or duplicate custom content causing glitches and game loading issues. To ensure a smooth gaming experience, it’s crucial for players to identify and remove any broken custom content from The Sims 4. This article aims to guide players through this process, ensuring they can continue to enjoy the game without disruptions.
How to Find Broken CC in Sims 4
Deleting CC Files Individually
The traditional “search and delete” method is the first approach. While this method is labor-intensive and can be risky for beginners who may accidentally delete their beloved mods, it offers an effective solution. To locate problematic CC files manually, follow these steps:
- Open the Mods folder in Sims 4.
- Delete one folder and then launch the game.
- Continue this process until the issue is resolved and the game runs smoothly.
This method is best suited for players with a limited number of mods and CC.
Using Sims 4 Tray Importer
The Tray Importer is a popular and efficient method used by players to find and remove broken CC in Sims 4. Acting as software to manage Custom Content, the Tray Importer not only identifies broken CC files but also allows players to either delete problematic files or search for missing parts online.
Employing Sims 4 Mod Checker
Similar to the Tray Importer, the Mod Checker is software that automatically scans the Mods folder, detecting broken CC files. It displays all CC and mods found in the folder, highlighting the broken ones, which can then be deleted manually.
Both the Tray Importer and Mod Checker methods save time and offer compelling alternatives for players seeking a simpler process.
The Sims 4 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
