I just started a family in Sunset and they are bathing and showering with clothes on that I didn't choose for them. I took out a cc shower twice and finally used an EA Shower and still the same. I decided to go to a tub and the same thing, they have clothes on like tennis shoes and regular street clothes. It appear to be EA clothes. Has anyone run across this? Would really appreciate your help! Thanks

Your sim have the personality Insane?
Insane sims take shower with clothes

^^ I didn't know that juliana! How funny! lol

Thats weird that they're bathing with EA clothes... hmmmm... I'll do a google search for ya'

Here is a thread: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/107205.page

Yeah Evie, insane sims are funny lol

I had forgotten the "never nude"

And I think inappropriate also do this. But I had this problem once, that was not trait related and I do believe it was a piece of cc that was making that happen. i also know that some Peggy hairs were making my sims shower and bathe with shoes on and also changed their hairstyle.

Hope you get it worked out, please keep us posted on your progress and I hope you get it worked out!

I use the same traits all the time and never ran into this. I've gone through the house and stripped it of all cc and replaced it with EA including the wall paper, nothing changed, still those silly clothes on them. The cc's that I used I use all the time with no problem. I have a house now that I'm using it in with no problems. Don't know what to do now, real strange!

Just thought, she has on the finger nails and toe nai polish, ummm maybe I should remove it too. Never had a problem before with this though.

hi snowee ok so i am currently looking through all the known threads about this problem and a lot of people are saying its bad cc..i found this for you to check out

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/234888.page

i will keep looking for more answers though....

Ok, absolutely no cc's and still the same, all gordy EA clothes and walls only :'( I'm ready to put back some of the cc's!!

hi...ok so i started this thread on TS3 and i will check on it periodically..

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/0/356890.page#4948926

hopefully someone will have an answer....

Thanks Angie. Some womens clothes shoes up in my men clothes that now I understand why and that's what my man wears into the shower which makes him look, lets say feminine. I have stripped everything cc and found only one new thing I used was a flower pot, can't believe it would cause all this. I'm a lot def when it comes tech, so what do they mean when they say delete from launcher. I went into the files but some of it is computer talk I have no idea individual items.

Does this mean I can't use cc anymore? I have a house now in Bridge Port with the same cc and no problems. I did have to move around my French doors but other than that everything is fine.

i have this ...that i use when downloading sims 3 packs ...i use it before installing the cc into my game ..it picks up most of the corrupt cc or broken cc before you put it in your game and i use this

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=387006

on my sims 3 packages again i use it to check for bad or corrupt cc

i would definately use these, if you dont already

as soon as i get an answer on the TS3 forum i will let you know :D

on the delete from launcher i will do it step by step

step 1 open your launcher and click on installed content

step 2 there are different lists to look through, pick what list you need to delete from

step 3 scroll down the list until you find the item to be delted

step 4 click the box beside it

step 5 press uninstall at the bottom

hope this helps :D

I just had this reply from the thread i put on....

Does she ever download sims or lots from the exchange? Even if the creator uploads them CC free, it is possible that a corrupted file from their game can piggy back and make it's way into the download. I would suggest going through the "Installed Content" window on the launcher just to double check and be absolutely positive something didn't sneak into her game without her knowledge.

If the sim has absolutely no CC, and no mods, and the sim does not have the never nude or insane trait, I do not know how or why they would be showering with their clothing on. I have never heard of this being a glitch...every time I have seen this (my own game included) it was corrupt CC or a trait of the sim. I hope she figures it out soon because as I said, this happened in my game (it was a pair of shoes causing the problem in my game) and it just made me INSANE until I figured out how to completely get rid of it!

Back again. I went in and deleted the two new cc's that I used, still clothes on. I deleted a top that looked like the one the man is wearing but, nothing. The ones I want to delete I can't find in the install, the pictures are so darn small. I thought I might just delete all the Tee's I see and maybe.......... The lady has on blue tennis shoes that are EA, I can't catch the clothes she moves so fast even with the pause she's already blocked. Oh well, I've started pulling hairs now

if you could try and get a pic then i can search for the item and give you the name of the file to delete

i have been checking for answers but none yet.....

the best time to take the pic is to be ready with the pause button just as they are stepping into the shower and use the tab key then z or w to zoom in to get closer before hitting the c for taking the pic

Ok thanks. I'm getting ready to put the babies to sleep now and start again lateter this weekend. They will have to take a back seat to Tax preparation, dining room table is ready and waiting

ok...i will be here over the weekend anyway so whenever you are ready, in the meantime i will keep looking for a solution and hopefully we can get it sorted for you..good luck with your taxes...

Snow I have a suggestion, evict them from their house. Don't put them in the bin, just when the option is available move them back in and try to see if that fixes it. I did that when I was having a totally different issue, but had read someone did this and for some odd and strange reason it took care of it.

If that still takes place, move them into a temp home and see if the clothes still show up. Also...try moving the shower out. I know this seems kind of off the wall but sometimes it's the weirdest fixes that work.

Thanks Ang for looking so deeply into this for Snowee!! I really appreciate it!!

no need to thank me Cece...thats what we are all here for ...when one has a problem ...we all help to try and sort it, thats what Cstylers do.....I will keep looking for a solution its got to be something simple were missing......

Well a little good news! The man lost his shirt but still has on his pants. During a clothes change the game put him on the pants that he has in the shower and they are cc. I searched thru until my eyes hurt and can't find any pants in installation.

The lady still has her clothes on, I deleted two sets and a set of tennis shoes and they are still there. The tennis shoes are EA and I have the same set in cc.

I took the snapshots and they're ready for upload if someone could please tell me where to do this please.

Cece I know how to evict but do I just put them to the clip board and take every thing with them and use freerealestate to get them back in? I think I tried this before and screwed up with my family. The funds aren't there to move them elsewhere now.

to upload the pictures do you have a photobucket account or tiny pic both are free ??

if not let me know and i will give the link for them both

from there you need to copy the image code and paste it to here in your reply

then i can copy it and search for the item, once i have the item i can get the code and you can type in this code in your search box from your start menu on your pc then delete it from there...hope this helps

Ok, these are the images. I took several trying to catch the lady but clothes are kind of hard to catch, they're blocked.

ok i know the items let me find them from the site and i will get the codes,,,,it is bad cc......

is this the shorts that he is wearing ??


i am still searching for the outfit she is wearing

Snowee when you evict them don't take the home or furnishing with you, just let them place on the clipboard. (left side of your monitor) They should leave the house with the worth of the house with them. If so...then you can easily buy the house back and move back in.

If not...you may have to use the cheat 'freerealestate' to move them back in.

Ang may have found a problem if that's the pants the guy uses. I had a plant one time that was borking my game..hence I don't download plants from anywhere but ea's, also a pair of curtains was borking my game so I am super cautious on those downloads, and a bathroom set was borking my game and I had to remove it entirely. Each time, once I deleted it and removed it from the game, the game worked fine.

I believe Ang is getting closer. Also...like I mentioned....try moving them into a temp house, let them shower and see if it happens there also.

If you need anything else...just keep posting until we get this figured out. Ang is a super hound dog it seems and is very determind to aid you in this!! She is my twinzie!!!

Thanks Cece! I'll try evict of Angie can figure this out.

I put the guy in the pants to show you them, they have the pockets on the side. I really don't dress them this gorky (LOL) I added on picture of the lady in the tub with a foot up with the tennis shoe on. I thought she was wearing the short set with the Bunny on the top that they show as nite wear and atheletic wear but I don't know. I may have deleted it but it's still there anyways. Hope this helps you've been wonderful.

does he wear his shoes in the shower too?? i am still searching.....

Sorry , no he does not wear his shoes, this was just a quick shot to show the pants. His top came off after I deleted a couple of things and I thought he was alright until I saw the pants.

ok..thanks do you know if the items are package files or sims 3 pack?

to test this theory we could take out your package file and sit it on your desktop go into game get them to shower and see what happens??

if they are still wearing the clothes then its sim 3 packs were looking for which makes it easier to locate, if you do that i will keep looking in all the known cc places i have listed for the offending items we will sort this .....i wont give up until we have done it

...

Ok, I sent them to the Pool and had them to shower and the clothes were still on them, if this helps. Checked on the pants again and they are cc. Lost with the lady clothes.

I found (3) Package Files but don't know which one to use or if they're right:
sumcompositor cache, caspart cache, and compositor cache. If one is correct do I just drag it to my desk top??

No Snowee, Angie is talking about taking out the 'package' folder within your 'mod' folder and placing it on your desktop. This will remove any/all custom content downloaded to your game via package format. This will not take out your sims 3 packs downloads, but that can be easily removable also.

With just placing it on your desktop, you don't have to 'delete' your cc, you are basically just seeing if you can pinpoint where the problem might be.

Keep us posted hun!!

I am having a bit of trouble finding these items....snowee can you remember which sites you usually download from that might narrow it down for me to keep looking...

I don't use a particular site other than the EA Exchange. This really looks hopeless.

If the cc came from the ea exchange then most likely it's corrupt. With that you will probably have to just take all your cc out and then reinstall it bit by bit until you locate the bad piece. I know it sounds tedious and time consuming...and well...it is...but the ea exchange has been known to pass along some bad stuff.

Ok I download lots, but not lately though, and then I started getting a bunch of cc in my caatalog to use, is this what you're talking about? I see the download file for lots but not one for cc other than the install on Launcher. If I uninstall all the cc will it just be lost to me. I know Angie gave info for protecting myself and I'm going to do that. Sorry to sound so def, never realized something so fun to play could go so tech.

Oh hun don't feel bad...I've had to uninstall and reinstall my game at least 4 times (maybe more...) so we all know of the stress this game alone puts on you. That's why we all want to truly help you find and fix this. And of course...if all else fails...then a uninstall/reinstall may be needed.

Ok...to remove all of your cc will not make you lose it.

Follow these steps and you will be able to keep all of your cc until you find the corrupt piece.

Go to: My documents---click
From my documents go to Electronic Arts---click
From here find the folder marked Sims 3---click
From here go to mods---click
Once inside mods you will see a section called 'packages'---click

Here you can view all the cc you have downloaded in 'package format'...now to remove this go back to 'mods' and you have 2 options...
1st option: copy and paste this folder to your desktop
or
2nd option: Just click it and move it to your desktop
either way is very simple

Just keep that folder on your desktop and then all package downloads are out of the game.

Now... you still have your 'launcher' downloads which is where you probably have most of your cc since you said you mostly get your cc from the exchange.

Also you can set your 'downloads' folder also located inside the Sims 3 folder on your desktop. Just copy and paste or just pick file up and move it over.

These can be placed back, but to place the files back that are in the download folder you might have to reinstall them, which is easy. The items will place automatically back into the launcher and all you will have to do is 'click' to install.

I hope this helps you and doesn't confuse you more, I've broken it down as easy as possible, although someone might have an even easier way.

hi snowee just to keep you up to date with things........i am starting to go through the exchange to see if i can find the sim/sims or any sim/sims with these items on that way i can break them down to see what they come with...and hopefully find the offending items...i will keep you posted on what i find
