Centaurs?! From Exchange?

Hello, here I am again with another weird thing happened to my game. I don't know if it is a glitch or what. So here is what happened I downloaded some sims from the exchange... then something happened. Some sims started having centaur bodies that I know weren't centaurs before :roll: . And one sim that was an angel type thing had a gray centaur body for its athletic out fit. Very weird... Anyone else had this experience or know what's up? :? Thanks and please comment.

    I have the same problem. :(
    I've just gotten used to it though. I think it just comes with the sims..

    No, it's from bad CC. Have you been downloading from The Exchange?

    bad cc. Sometimes happens when you download sims from the exchange, especially sims with cc on them. I don't know how to get rid of it though, sorry.

    Mhmm.. I've tried to delete it from the installed content, but it still shows up for whatever reason.

    You have to go into your launcher in the 'installed content' category and sort through all of it to find the picture of the centaur body.

    You can try to find help with Crinrict's list of bad CC.

    One thing I've always wondered: What are the animations like when they have the centaur body?

    What is bad cc? By the way one of my sims married this centaur woman, and she gave birth to a wavy stick. Some thing is definitely wrong with my game.

    Well, I've had it in my game before. It's really creepy when your sim ages up...:shock:. I assume they're usually the same since i's just on the back. As for walking, it must look glichy.

    Bad CC is CC that messes up your game some way.

    For the wavy stick baby there's a simple temporary solution. Age them up using the birthday cake. They might look even scarier, just a warning. If they do, take them to the dresser and have them "Plan Outfit". All you have to do is change their clothes into something age-appropriate and they'll be fixed.

    The problem is from some CC clothes that aren't coded right. They end up on all ages, but are only supposed to fit YA/Adult. After you've got it figured out which clothes are the problem, just delete them from your launcher.

    As everyone above me stated it's bad cc. Just keeping it in your game, is your choice, but a bad one at that. If you're going to download any CC (or upload creations with CC), whether it be from the Exchange (which don't be fooled! Just because it's up for download on this site does not make it safe!!!!) or directly from a third party site, you need to know how to check for bad CC, and how to clean it out of your game. Why? Because you can cause problems, not only in your game, but in other players games if you decide to upload your creations that have CC without checking them first.

    I use CC. I'm a CC addict, I guess, but since I informed myself of bad cc how to find it, recognize it, and rid it from my game I do not upload/download anything until it runs clean with Custard or Dashboard.

    Custard and Delphy's Dashboard can help keep your game un-infected by these bad CC, as well ensure a clean upload of your creations regardless of whether it's a sim, clothing, or lot. Custard will check your .sims3pack, while Dashboard will check your .package files.

    If you're going to download from the exchange or directly from a third party site that hosts CC, I highly suggest you take the time to learn these two programs before you download CC. It'll save you a lot of headaches down the road.

    Bad cc is what makes your toddlers/baby's look like sticks.

    The file is called Horsefullbody, you need to find it and uninstall it from your launcher.

    I just had to do it to mine.

    PS. Before you download sims check what the sim is wearing.
