Re: none of your hairs are showing, but mts customs are

Sorry for the late reply! I can think of a couple of reasons things might not show up.

#1 is filepath length. Your computer can only read I think 250 characters in a filepath, starting from C (or whatever the drive letter is). Try shortening file and folder names, shallow subfoldering (two folders deep is as far as I'd recommend you go), and maybe downloading a bulk renamer to get rid of the special characters-- anything that isn't 0-9, A-Z, _, or -. (I've stopped using those, but on older hairs there are still spaces and brackets.)

#2 is clearing your cache files, which doesn't usually prevent new content from showing up but it's worth a shot anyway. In your EA Games/Sims 2 folder, delete anything that isn't a folder itself-- usually it's files like cigen.package and accessory.cache.

#3 is... well, how much custom content do you have? There's a limit, based on your computer's processing power, to how many individual package files the game will read. After a point it just stops.
