Since the release of Sims 4 in 2014, many expansion packs and mods have been released to add excitement and keep players engaged. In addition, fans can also contribute in introducing custom content, like clothes, skins and new build/buy objects, to the game.
Custom content is normally broken down into two types: Maxis Match and Alpha. Maxis aligns with the traditional Sims style, while Alpha generally seems more realistic. However, broken or duplicate CC can also cause loading issues and glitches in The Sims 4. In such cases, players need to identify and eliminate these elements. This guide will walk players through the process of finding and removing broken CC from T he Sims 4.
How to Find Broken CC in Sims 4
Finding the specific CC file that is causing all the issues can be challenging for players, often requiring significant time to pinpoint the faulty CC.
There are three main methods that come in handy to find and delete Broken CC.
One by one, manually delete CC files.
The good old reliable "search and delete" is the first method. This is a rigorous and demanding method, and also risky for beginners as they might end up deleting all their favorite mods and CC.
To identify the problem among the CC files manually, follow these steps.
- Open Mods folder of the Sims 4.
- Delete one folder and launch the game.
- If the problem persists, continue the process of deleting one folder at a time until the issue is resolved and the game runs smoothly.
This method proves to be a better option for player who have fewer mods and CC installed.
The Sims 4 Tray Importer
This is a quick and convincing method, widely used by players, to find and remove the broken CC in Sims 4. The Tray Importer is software helpful in managing Custom Content. Not only it shows broken CC files but it also empowers players to either delete the broken files or find the missing parts on the internet.
The Sims 4 Mod Checker
Similar to the Tray Importer method, Mod Checker is software that scans all Mods folders and identifies broken CC files automatically. It displays all the CC and mods from the Mods folder and identifies the broken ones which can be deleted manually.
The Tray Importer and Mod Checker methods are simple and easier to use as they are time-saving and much more compelling.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
