Duplicate CAS items? Don't panic! It seems like our Sim fashionistas are experiencing a strange phenomenon in the world of Create-A-Sim (CAS). But fear not, for I am here to guide you through this fashion emergency and help you unravel the mystery of the duplicate items!
So, you're suddenly finding yourself faced with a bunch of "new" items in CAS. Some of them are normally locked or hidden stuff that you accidentally unlocked somehow, while others are duplicate items with a different swatch selected. It's like a glitch in the fashion matrix!
Now, before we jump to any conclusions, let's investigate the possible culprits. Do you happen to have the cas.fulleditmode cheat enabled when this happened? If so, let's start with Solution 1.
Solution 1: Disable cas.fulleditmode and Restart the Game
If you had the cas.fulleditmode cheat enabled when the duplicates appeared, try disabling the cheat and restarting the game. Sometimes, a simple reset is all it takes to restore order to your CAS. However, if this doesn't solve the issue, we'll have to dig deeper.
Solution 2: Check for Broken Custom Content (CC)
Since you mentioned using CC, it's worth investigating if any of your downloaded items are causing the duplicates. Start by removing any recently downloaded CC and see if the duplicates disappear. If that doesn't work, you may need to go through your entire CC collection and remove any potentially broken or conflicting items. It's like playing a game of fashion detective!
Solution 3: More Columns in CAS Mod
You mentioned having the More Columns in CAS mod installed. While this mod is a blessing for organizing your CAS items, it could potentially be the culprit behind the duplicates. Try removing the mod temporarily and see if the issue persists. If the duplicates vanish, you might need to search for an updated version of the mod or find an alternative that won't mess with your CAS.
Solution 4: Gallery Downloads and Infected Households
If you've downloaded Sims or households from the Gallery, they could be carrying a glitch that infects your CAS. Avoid merging or replacing households in CAS before clicking on "Cancel > Reset this Household" to prevent the glitch from spreading. It's like dealing with a fashion virus, and prevention is key!
Remember, these solutions are not foolproof, as the world of glitches is a tricky one. But with a little patience and some detective work, you should be able to solve the mystery of the duplicate items and get back to creating fabulous Sims in no time. Happy Simming!
