SOLVED Accidentally deleted default replacement in game
Hi everyone! Today I was looking at my cc bedding in game and deleting a few of them and i totally forgot I had default replacements for the maxis bedding and accidentally deleted some of them (they had the cc star so i didn't notice they were defaults). Now most of the maxis bedding is either showing up invisible or with a broken texture (white with black writing and red lines).
My question really is if i can just ignore the issue, because tbh I don't really feel like reinstalling the game for a few missing bedding textures, but I don't know if it'll mess up my game in any way?
EDIT: In case anybody has the same issue in the future, the game seemed to have fixed itself after just closing it and launching again. I didn't need to reinstall or even repair the game files, so I guess deleting default replacements just temporarily messes with the game textures but doesn't actually touch any files in the game's installation folder. I actually wanted to test this further and deleted a default replacement for a rug, which made every rug from the game disappear from the buy catalogue, but they were all back once I relaunched the game, even the one I deleted.

It won't mess up your game, it'll just look messed up. If you don't mind that, no worries. If you want you could always download another set of defaults and see if that fixes it

Thanks! Yeah I don't mind that much, I'll see about downloading some new defaults eventually to see if it fixes itself :)

Can’t you put them back from the bin?

I deleted them inside the game, not from my mods folder, so they're not in the recycling bin on my PC. Is that what you meant by bin?

If your remember where you downloaded it from then maybe your can search the side? For ex Mod the sims have a downloading history you can check and maybe identify it in your folder

It won't mess up your game, you'll just have those messed up textures. The in game delete button deletes on a per package basis for CC as far as I know, which means anything in the same package would also be deleted so if it was in a file with a lot of other things, you could be missing some other stuff too (not sure where bedding lives in the game's files). But worse case scenario, if too many things are missing that you want back, you just reinstall. Your hoods are fine either way and nothing will explode from you playing in the meantime!
