I wish you can find missing cc from here. Like when you download a cc sim from the gallery but they show up all plain because you don't have the cc. so you need to download it externally but there is no way to identify what the cc is unless the original creator tells you. But usually they don't. Not sure why they even bother to upload there creations if they don't post the link to the mods they use. Anyway through tray importer you can get as far as identifying the "instance" of the missing cc (whatever that is) but a google search does nothing. If any one knows how to identify missing cc from the gallery please share!
due to the new update we just got to the sims 4 most of my cc went missing and is see it tells you like what is missing to that sim I was wondering if their was a way to get the cc back from doing it this way if so can you teach me please hopefully this made since
Thanks your amazing I was having problems with it other videos didn't explain so I could understand and you did and I wanna thank you for that you saved me
Thank you so much for this! I have a small request though, i downloaded a wallpaper mod for the game itself and i realised that it slowed down the start-up of the game so i uninstalled it but for some reason it is still present whenever i open Sims and im unsure of how to get rid of it without deleting the game and losing my progress, can you please help of possible
I added a sims from the gallery into my Household but no matter whichever sim I try to add to the household from my library. Their clothes and hair doesn't show up, only the base sims show up. What should I do sbout it???
I don’t know if anyone else had this problem. I’ve had the tray importer before and I deleted it I dont know why. Anyway when trying to download it, it kept saying error. I just right clicked the download button and opened in a new tab and it worked
So does the Tray Importer not actually let you IMPORT sims? Cuz I've looked at so many videos and cant find anything on IMPORTING...yet on someone's page they gave the links for downloading their sims...or to use the Tray Importer...so I'm very VERY confused lol
what is the red circle next to the file? i have a lot of those and ive been trying to figure out why my game is stuck on the loading screen. i’m trying to clean out the bad CC if any
Since auto detect isn't working for you, you'll have to create the path manually! Just find where your game folder is and type in the path and do the same for your saves folder. I hope this helps! ❤️
Go to file explorer and find your game folder and saves folder! This is usually the path for the game folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4 and this is usually the path for the save folder: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4. It can be different depending on your PC, but for most cases that is the path to the folders.
I am so glad i found this, I wanted to start making sims with the cc I find and putting them on insta or something with links to the cc because I genuinely play to sims to mess around in CAS.
uhh im kind of having a problem....when u just opned up this application and then went to the settings and saved wherever ur mods were,i did the same thing and no mods or cc are showing up.. can anyone help or am i just blind and missed to follow any instruction
How do you use the tray importer to scan your entire mods folder so I can know what mod is corrupting my game? It won't allow me inside the homes AT ALL
thank you so much for this! so I am trying to share a sim with my friend. How would I send her the tray files and cc? Is there a website I can share it on and send her the link?
:( I got an error on the web page: "We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now" it seem like I need to wait :( nice vid tho
May someone give me a link where to download tray importer, i just cant enter luniverse site, idk why, i tried to enter site from opera, microsoft edge, yandex, even tried though my phone, but the site just dont work for me T_T
How can I open households? It doesn't give me anything. And my current Simem would need the Tray file urgently because it needs to be repaired, but it doesn't give it out, nothing.
I'm not sure if it does! You may just have to create a sim with no CC and then save them to your library and then see if the background is there when you look in Tray Importer.
Sometimes windows can give these warnings etc to things which aren't dangerous for your pc! The link that I've provided for tray importer seems to be safe as I have not had any problems with it myself but I can never be 100% sure that you won't face any issues with your pc. All I can recommend is to make sure you've clicked the correct download button on the tray importer website.
I downloaded the tray importer but none of my saves are showing up ): I opened sims to play it for the first time in months and all of my data disappeared yet I still have the save files on my computer
If your saves are not showing up in your game, they won't show up in tray importer either! I know lots of peoples saves have stopped working completely after recent updates the past few months. I'd recommend to move your saves to a safe place on your computer and then re-add them to your saves folder! I hope you can get this issue fixed. ❤️
@@Plumbie Yeah, I got the saves to show up in the sims finally by moving it around. Now the tray importer shows the family I made, but not the houses! I'm sure theres a way to figure it out!
Plumbie? I was told, that there's a way to direct my tray folder to other folders using tray folder, is this true? Because I want to organize/put individual tray items such as sims for example in each individual one, lots in their own, and rooms in their own so that my tray folder's more organized. Before their last update, I'd had individual folders for all my gallery content (well what I hadn't downloaded from the gallery that is) but now, I have to remove any of the tray files from the individual folder and put directly into tray. If there's a way to do it using S4TI I'd love to know how to do so :)
Im so stuck honestly, i want to upload my sim to thesimsresource but my sim has CC and if i export it without the CC then it wont work. :( i dont know what i do
Love your vids, this was very useful, but is there any possible way that you also can use this program to remove cc furniture? If there is, a video turtorial would be super helpful.
Thank you Clara, I'm happy to hear it was helpful! I'm unsure about this but I think that it is a possibility. I assume it would work the same way as the households do! 💜
This video was extremely helpful!! Any tips for simmers with merged cc files? I've added my unmerged cc to the custom folders tab but it keeps exporting the tray files with merged CC
not anything u can do about it from what i've seen , it just means the content has been deleted or can't be located ! it seems like its mostly for managing and locating ur own cc , not finding cc used for sims on the gallery (like how i was trying to do) a travesti
does it have to be ON our sims for us to be able to use this or is there a way to have it gloss over our entire mods folder like how mod conflicter does?
Make sure you have the paths set to all the correct folders! In this video I had a quick section to explain how at 1:49. I hope this helps! If it doesn't let me know.💜
Hello! The website was hacked, so make sure you download it from here: luniversims.fr/files/file/73-sims-4-tray-importer/ I'm not sure if it will ask you security questions as it never asked me. Let me know if this helps! ❤️

Do you mean you can't see the lots in tray importer? If so, make sure you have the path set to your game folder and saves folder. I mentioned how at 1:49! 💜
Thank you, you’re the only one explaining how to set your game folder path if the library is blank
I love this program. I use it all the time to back up my sims with cc to my external.
Thank you! I was thinking about searching this yesterday and boom a few hours later you posted the video! 💞
Ah such good timing!! 💜
Great Tutorial! But i don't understand the part 2:26 i can't change it and the sims don't come to the side.. is there a solution for that?

i do have a question, does this show which cc is bad? what will it look like if its bad?
We can't see if a cc piece is broken inside of tray importer as I'm aware of!
Such a sketchy install. I -need- to know what directory it's being installed in before I click okay. You can't be trusting anymore sadly. :(
I don’t have the little arrow next ti the save icon that you do??
Thanks love you so much ugh ❣️❣️

Have you set the path to your mods and game folder in the tray importer settings?
Hi! Is this also works with backgrounds? I tried to find my background what i use when i make sims but don't remember for the name of it
I'm not sure if it does! You may just have to create a sim with no CC and then save them to your library and then see if the background is there when you look in Tray Importer.
What does Dependencies not found on cc mean?
when i try to open it it says my windows is defending my pc?? should i still run it or not?? IM A SCARY CAT, IVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT
Sometimes windows can give these warnings etc to things which aren't dangerous for your pc! The link that I've provided for tray importer seems to be safe as I have not had any problems with it myself but I can never be 100% sure that you won't face any issues with your pc.

The cc has to be on your sim in order for it to show up in Tray Importer! 💜
Brilliant thanks had to delete some texts,
YES THANK YOU 💜💜
💜💜
I only downloaded this to find "broken" custom content. Is there in ability to do that?
I don't think so, unfortunately!
is there any way i can download the cc from the sim separately? i cant find any of it and re-download it💔
If the cc on your sim isn't in your mods folder there is no way to see it in tray importer sadly!
OMGG THXXX ILY
so do you sign up for it to do all this
Does this also work for Lots? The gallery seems bent upon making my houses look dreadful. 😆
Yes it does!
Will it only show you the cc shown in the thumbnail on the gallery, or all of the cc for each category of outfits?
It will show every cc piece on the sim if you have them in your mods folder! 💜
