Hey so i finally got a better computer and decided to reinstall the sims 3, since it's (in my opinion) the most customizable most alive feeling world in any game.

But.... as it turns out my old EA folder was corrupted, and all my mods are gone. I had made a backup, but that was several years before.
I had literally thousands of mods installed, probably hundreds since the backup alone.
I still have the lastest saves which i spent thousands of hours on.
Unfortunately when loading the game, unlike other moddable games, it doesn't tell you what is missing, just that some custom content was not found.
And there is nothing blinking purple, so it's most likely a script or some clothing, or something else not readily apparent at first glance.

Is there any way to find out what exactly is missing? Even just the object/script names, or the filenames where the game would look for the CC would help a lot in tracking down what's missing.

Isn't there something in the script error? Or something in the savefile?
I mean the game has to know from SOMEwhere which filename it is looking for in the mods folder, or which object instance, if all the mods are merged at loading.
I am absolutely prepared to wade through lots of code and whatnot to find this out.

My whole HDD got corrupted, and recovery could bring back only a few things.

Hm.
Well thank you anyway!
