Better way of getting rid of useless cc?

mayaandjanna

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great day.

Does anyone know a better way of getting rid of useless cc? (If it's a program, I have a mac so it would be nice to have one that works for mac) It really bothers me that I have a lot of cc that doesn't work. Thank you

Only way I know of is to take all of your CC out of the folder and add a little back a bit at a time and then narrow down what works and does not. Sorry, there is no program I know of or another way to do this.

Oh, okay that's fine! Thanks for your help though

I'm really not sure about Mac, I think there may be a beta version of the program for Mac; but you'd have to see.

But my method for clearing out my unwanted CC was to install Sims4TrayImporter:

-After installing, go into Sims 4 and dress a sim (Or multiple) in all of the CC you want to get rid of. Make sure its ONLY wearing the CC you want to delete.
-After this, save that family to your library and close Sims 4.
-Open the sims4trayimporter, you'll see the family you just saved to the left, click on it.
-From there click the CC tab, right click on each file and selecting 'Show containing folder' which will take you to the file in your mods folder, which you can then delete.

Just encase you get these problems:
-Sometimes you wont be able to delete a file because its 'Open in Sims4trayimporter', just close the importer while you delete that file. Afterwards you can open it back up and you don't have to worry about losing your place, the CC tab will already have gotten rid of the files you deleted before.
- If you have default skins and eyes that you want to keep, but you can't take them off in order to have a sim wear ONLY the CC you want rid of. Just save a sim with no CC but the default skin and eyes into the library and go through the above steps, just instead, move those files to a safe folder. Then you can open Sims 4 again and start making the 'cc I want to delete' family.

I'd definitely recommend sorting your CC out, and putting any new CC into named folders, so that you don't have to go through this process every time you want to delete 1 or 2 files.
Tray importer also helps with sorting, e.g. you can make a sim wearing only your CC tops, and then move all the CC its wearing into a 'Tops' folder in your Mods.

You can use Sims 4 Studio to look at and delete CC, item by item. Here is the link for their MAC version:

You have to be a member to use it, but it is free to join.

Thanks! I actually knew this and wanted to do it but didnt know if it works for mac. I downloaded it and unfortunately it won't open the app for me. Any help? Thanks.

You will either have to run it via Terminal or Bootcamp your Mac if there was not a version listed specifically for the Mac.

The Mac version of the Tray Importer will only run under OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan by the looks of it. Maybe the developer abandoned it?
