Problem Files/Overwriting Maxis

[Camilla]

:idea: If you find custom content that is overwriting original Maxi stuff, please post it here.

Recolors of Birgit's Villeroy & Boch bathroom sink will overwrite your Maxi pedestal sink.

Did you remove the swing from your downloads folder? If you didn't, it won't go away.

yes i delet my hole download folder and then reistald the game.

If you deleted all your custom content, and started fresh, it shouldn't still be there, unless you made files of your houses and it sneaking back in.

Sim Snobs "Back to Nature" painting will overwrite the Lonesome Daisy. No link as I can't find it.

A vase from the 'Spring' set at WallSims overwrites a Maxis vase. A shame, really, since it was a nice vase and Cathy at Aussie Top Enders has made some beautiful recolours of it.

For anyone having trouble like Babbelsim Here is a tutorial that might help

I've used it before and it worked for me

Its a long process but it helps

Also (and this might be a d'uh to everyone) if I know what the problem download is, I redownload it, then run Clean Installer to find the file and the duplicate file, and remove them both. That's how I got my pedestal sink back, and I still have the V&B sink, so it must have been a recolor and not the original Birgit sink that was the culprit.  I had a problem with a wall cabinet from WallSims that this worked with also.

Thanks for that. I need it for a stupid hacked telescope :evil:

So it's not the Birgit file that overwrote the sink?  You should probably edit the first post in this thread then, where it says:

I'm not bitching at ya, just pointing out that not everyone reads every post in a thread, especially since that's the OP.

[Camilla]

Done. I should've thought of that. Thanks.

Can this subject get a sticky, so it doesn't get lost, as it's useful :?:

Another WallSims overwrite: standard Uni dorm chair overwritten by Holly
Chair (ws_holly_chair_mesh.package or one of the recolours (beige / light tan)--wasn't sure, so removed them all (8-9 files)).

Image available in above referenced forum thread; tried to post it here and img code didn't work. Sorry.

Other borkinated objects mentioned in same thread are a Stujl chair from modernsims.de, a hair mesh for which I wasn't 100% sure about who to blame, and a 4ESF Living7 Loveseat that eats Sims.

All I find there is your post only and no images at all.

[Lorelei]

That's bizarre. The images were uploaded and showed to me on site. I'll go look and see if I can figure out what's up.


EDITED TO ADD: They still show up for me, even after dumping my Internet cache and offline files. I don't know why you aren't seeing them, but I have no idea what I can do on my end to help further.

BlueSoup, I think you noted that you were aware of/affiliated with BSB. Are the images showing for you? If you have no spare time to check, I totally understand. It might help pin down the problem Ymits is having, though, and I'll help however I can on this end.

Ymits: If you want a description verbally, I can do that, but much of the modern content looks similar, so I don't know if it will help. The sofa is boxy, two-seater, and a fuzzy mid-grey, and the Stujl is black, has four legs, is a dining chair, with a round seat and a rectangular back suspended by two "metal" struts from the seat.
