Default CCs work except for SKINS??
I just purchased The Sims 2 Legacy and put my Downloads folder into The Sims 2 Legacy. Everything is just how it was on my pervious Sims 2 game. All the CCs are there, everything works but when I click on a custom skin and click the check mark it wont do anything. Let's say I click a skin that is a couple pages down and hit the check mark, the check mark works as an arrow and takes me to the previous page of skins. When I select a skin it shows on the sim just fine but it's not letting me actually select it. Literally everything else in the game works just fine, no other CCs have any issues. I've already turned off "read only" on properties for this file and it hasn't made a difference. I've messed around with game quality to see if that would help and it hasn't. There's nothing indicating the game is loading the skin selection. I can still exit out of create a sim but nothing else. I have restarted the game multiple times. I have no idea what to do... please help.

This is a known issue with the Legacy Collection and as far as I know there isn't a way to fix it yet.

Many creators already posted it in Youtube that most CC are function nicely but not the skin CC. Some of CAS modification also unavailable for the sims 2 legacy. Check this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFnn0gqYypg. There are a couple of fixes in tumblr but at the end of the day it's better to just go back to the sims 2 RPC or origins one. EA it's like making a comeback for the sims but in the end the Sims 2 community fixes it... so inconvinient not to mention expensive too....

I suggest you file a complain to EA Games.

Tey released a new patch just 3 days ago: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/n...sLocalized=true

It (supposedly) fixes an issue related to custom skins, not sure if it's the same bug or a different one, because they've worded it somewhat vaguely if it is.

If the patch doesn't help, report it to EA. Be as spesific as possible when making a bug report, so they know which bug you're talking about, and so they don't confuse it for something else.

LD posted about the bug, and maybe a potential workaround until it's fixed, here:
