Post Patch Reporting of Broken CC

I am putting this up now so you all know the deal. I will not be a happy camper if you post a comment blurting “you cc is broken!!!” or “your cc broke my game!!!” and not giving me exact details. If you don’t want to be that person, here are some handy points for you to look at to help me get any possible broken CC fixed once the appropriate programs are updated:

For Build/Buy Mode


  • What item it is and what set does it come from (if applicable)
  • Do you have the merged or separated files?
  • How is it broken? The more detail the better here. Does it stop the game from opening? Good! That is helpful. Does it disappear when placing? Do sims throw a tantrum when you try to make them use an item? All helpful.
  • Did you update the file after the C+D patches? (you will not believe how many people still haven’t).

For CAS


  • please explain in plenty of words the exact issue with item (e.g. morphing, categories, completely missing etc)
  • if its something like mesh gaps, tell me where they occur, and if its dependant on slider positions


To save what is left of my sanity, when the patch shows up and you want to report something, elaborate on how it isn’t working as intended. It will help me get stuff fixed so much sooner without having to constantly facepalm at the stupid ass messages in my inbox simply stating “your cc is not working!!!! When will you fix!?!” which may very well turn me into a homicidal maniac (and give me a massive headache). No one wants that.

Given the wide reaching updates expected for Seasons, something is bound to break (and i really hope its minimal), so save my sanity and give as much detail as you can, it will be very much appreciated.

  1. I'm going through the few pieces of CC I have (love your work by the way). The Oasis-Chic Dining Maple Leaves and Tulips have missing vases. I have the merged version of them. I can place the flowers and they sit on the table like normal, the vase vase is just gone. If I zoom out the tulip vase comes back, but not the leaves'. If I spin the camera, close up I can see a flickering outline, but not the full vase, of the tulip vase, but again not the leaves'. I have the most recent file updates (just got them about a month ago.) The Oasis chick dinning chimenea (merged file) won't stay lit. My sim can walk up and light it but it doesn't stay lit. I think that is all that I'm noticing right now.

    1. The fireplace issue is Maxis problem, they tweeted about it because no fireplace will light at all.
      Are you on Mac? That is the only people I know that are having glass issue which dates back to the C+D patches.

  2. All the kitchen countertops are blocked to where when I want to go cook it shows "no countertops available", I have both separate and merged kitchen countertops. I have already moved clutter and lights away but nothing fixed.

  3. Hello! Just wanted to first say that I absolutely love your work and I’m so happy you take the time and patience to not only make but share your creations with us. I just downloaded the Seasons pack and the only set causing me an issue is the Shaker kitchen. I do have the merged file. I’m not able to load the game with the file in my mods folders. I fire up the game and it attempts to load but crashes once it’s at the load screen.
    I just wanted to make you aware. I wish I knew how to break it down further but I’m not very techi minded. If you need anything further please let me know.

    Thank you.

    1. Do you mean none of the interactions work, or are you referring to something else? I have checked the dressers and all the functions work fine here. I would check if you have a mod that needs updating.

    3. I would advise you to redownload. I am having no issues on this side whatsoever. If you have any mods I would also try without them in your game, one may be interfering. Also check basegame dressers to see if they are doing the same.
