Export Sims from CAS Keeps Failing

Jed_Bartlet_02

Suddenly I can no longer share a Sim while in CAS, it just keeps saying "Export Failed." Of course, there's no explanation or error code. I did download some Sims from the exchange, which I usually never do, and one of them had some adult boots that it kept putting on toddler's feet, but I can't figure how that would stop me from Sharing a Sim in CAS, especially since the Sim I'm trying to share does not have any CC.

Is there something going on that I'm not aware of?

Hi,

It sounds like the game is trying to attach third party custom content to the Sim you are exporting to the launcher. As for a possible fix, after quitting the game and launcher navigate to the following location:

Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/DCBackup

Delete all files inside the DCBackup folder except the ccmerged.package file. Deleting the rest of the files will not affect your game other than preventing it from attaching third party content to your exported Sim. It would also be a good idea to delete the following game cache files from Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3:

CASPartCache.package
CompositorCache.package
ScriptCache.package
SimCompositorCache.package

Deleting the cache files should force the game to reload the most current graphics and script data in a pristine state. It is perfectly safe to delete the cache files as the game will automatically regenerate them each time.

Yep, that's what it was. Thanks! Turned out it was that stinkin' Arezzo Bathroom Counter that attached itself to the Sims I downloaded. Serves me right for giving in to the temptation of wanting some nice looking Sims in my game. I'll stick with my ordinary looking ones.
