Are you tired of seeing random townies using custom content you didn’t assign to them?
Are you having issues with objects not doing what they are intended?
Well, we can fix some of your problems easily, thanks to Sims 4 Studio.

In this tutorial, we will be going over how to apply batch fixes to Create-a-Sim and Build/Buy mode.

Please be sure to READ CAREFULLY before you run a batch fix.
If you are unsure of what you are clicking on, reference this guide.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to assist you.

So, let’s get started!​

What You Need:

Step 1 

Install Sims 4 Studio!
If you are unsure on how to install S4S please read this guide here: Learning Your Tools: S4S

In the “Learning Your Tools: Sims4Studio” guide I will walk you through the install process and setting up the program for first-time use.

Step 2

Now that you have Sims 4 Studio installed, launch the program.
On the top navigation panel go to: Tools > Content Management > Batch Fixes

You will now see three options listed under Batch Fixes: CAS, Objects, and Misc.
These are the categories of fixes currently available for The Sims 4.
Let’s go over each of them, and their function.

NOTE: Even if you do not own one of the packs mentioned in the batch fix, run it anyways.

As the game still makes base game edits to items for other packs.

(example: Pets patch will fix missing slots and issues with many items even if you do not own pets.)

Create-a-Sim Batch Fixes

CAS Batch Fixes – These will fix errors caused by game updates to CAS + CC errors.

 

*NOTE: If you are using CC for random, this can cause lag in the game.
If you are experiencing lag issues with many sims in one area having custom content you may want to run “Disallow CC for Random”.
 
 
NOTE: IF YOU USE DEFAULT REPLACEMENTS 
DO NOT RUN: Disallow CC for random or Disallow CC for Default 
If you are using default replacement skin/eyes/hair/etc.
Find those items and remove them from your mods folder temporarily while you run the batch fix. 
Once you are done place your default back into your mods folder. 
If you run these commands with your defaults installed they will be turned off!

Step 3

 
Run all of the batch fixes in GREEN.

Only run the batch fixes in RED if you are 100% sure you want to use those items.

NOTE: If you do happen to run a batch fix on something you did not want to change. There is a backup of the .package files that were changed in: Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Batch Fixes

If you have a lot of custom content installed the batch fix process can take quite some time. Just wait until it is finished.
