Sims 4 Trendi: Why Can't I Use Custom Clothes?

Are you frustrated that you can't use custom clothes in Sims 4 Trendi? Here are some possible reasons why:

1. Corrupted CC:

Corrupted custom content (CC) can interfere with Sims 4 Trendi. Check your CC for conflicts and remove any outdated or damaged files. Use the Sims 4 Tray Importer to detect and fix any issues with CC.

2. Incompatible Versions:

Ensure that you have the latest version of Sims 4 Trendi and that your custom clothes are compatible with your game version. Check the CC creator's page for updates and compatibility notes.

3. Missing Meshes:

Custom clothes require meshes, which are 3D models that determine the shape and appearance of the garments. If a mesh is missing, the clothing may not appear or may be deformed. Verify that you have downloaded all the necessary meshes for your CC.

4. Outdated Script Mods:

Script mods can modify the game's functionality, including the ability to use custom clothes. Outdated script mods may cause conflicts and prevent CC from working properly. Update your script mods to the latest versions.

5. Game Mods:

Some game mods can interfere with CC usage. Disable any mods that affect CAS or the game's loading process. If possible, try removing all mods and testing your CC to identify any conflicts.

6. Antivirus Software:

Antivirus software can sometimes quarantine or block CC files, mistaking them for malicious threats. Add your Sims 4 folder and CC download locations to your antivirus exceptions list.

7. File Paths:

Custom clothes should be placed in the correct file path. The default location is: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

8. Insufficient Memory:

Large amounts of CC can consume a lot of memory. Close any unnecessary programs and increase your game's memory allocation if you're experiencing crashing or loading issues.

9. Damaged Install:

A corrupted game installation can prevent CC from working. Try repairing the game through Origin or Steam.

10. Custom Content Limit:

Sims 4 Trendi has a limit on the number of custom content files you can use. Removing excess CC or merging packages can resolve this issue.

How to Increase the Custom Content Limit:

1. Locate the Resource.cfg file in: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Game\Bin
2. Open the file with a text editor (e.g., Notepad)
3. Change the following line:

MaxTotalResourceCount 50000

to:

MaxTotalResourceCount XXXX

where XXXX is the desired number of custom content files allowed.

Conclusion:

Troubleshooting custom clothes issues in Sims 4 Trendi can be challenging. Follow these steps to identify and resolve any conflicts, ensuring that you can enjoy your favorite custom clothing in your game.
