How to find corrupted pattern/Create-a-style/patterns not saving. {SOLVED}
HELLO. First off, WOW. {15 July 2024}
Problem 1: Corrupted and repeating pattern. Often caused by converting pattern sims3pack file to a package file.
Solution: I had to remove everything to find where the pattern might have attached itself. This was an old issue so I hadn't touched this pattern in like 2 years.
I created a new sims 3 folder, put my old one off to the side (i renamed it) and slowly re-added my mods.
Once I didnt see the pattern I just brought back whatever I needed for my most recent save i.e. 2 saved sims, the world, the save to the world.
Problem 2: Create-a-Style saved patterns disappear after quitting the game
Solution: This was unfortunately caused by some scripting mod I had that dealt with build/buy mode. I had to remove multiple mods and cut my losses, but it worked!

--------------------------------------------
I have a pattern that has attached itself to something in my mods folder. I've been trying to fix this FOR YEARS. I also think its connected to me not being able to save presets. That's right. I cannot save any new patterns at all. As soon as I leave the game, all the patterns I've recolored, cute shirts I've decorated and "saved" in CAS, all the furniture I've recolored for easy use later, GONE. No mater how many times I've deleted the user presets, removed every pattern I shouldnt have converted to a package file, etc.
Here, I've started a completely Sims 3 new folder, no cc patterns, just all objects and cas stuff. This pattern is still there and appears as multiple copies. I'm not sure if I have to uninstall and re-install all my mods one-by-one or not but even then, I really just want to find where this pattern is hidding and HOW.
I'm not sure how to find and remove this pattern. Pls help me.
