White/Red/Black Checkered Sims with Question Marks/ Missing Textures
Problem
- My Sims look awful. They are white/red or black/white checkered and full of question marks
- Sims in CAS are invisible/ Empty CAS
- CAS shows a Night Sky
- After Loading the neighborhood there’s missing textures everywhere. I see question marks instead.
Cause
- Especially the first issue used to be mostly caused by outdated custom content but more players without mods/cc also have this issue, especially after a patch.
- The patch probably didn’t download/install properly which leads to missing clothing and object textures. Those are then replaced by default ones.
- Certain Mods/CC need Uncompressed Sims Textures enabled
Solution
- Repair your game through Origin
- Check the box next to uncompressed Sim Textures in the graphics options of the game (if your computer can handle it)
