Try searching for tray importer. Make a sim wearing only mods with missing mesh. You can also save an empty lot with missing meshes as well. Tray Importer will tell you what those mods are so you can delete them or FIND out what their requirements are so they will display properly.
I will add this snippet to my '
CC rant/guide sheet' LOL
I too have about 4 CC orphaned mods (out of about 2500 CC items - so It's a real PITA to figure out what they are or which files they are).
I too would love an easier way to figure out what those items are.
I appreciate you making a suggestion.
I looked up tray importer as you suggested. I'm either a) looking at the wrong tray importer file, b) it isn't advertising this ability to do this, or c) you mentioned the wrong app perhaps?
This is what it says on the Tray Importer site:
This application allows you to upload or download some Sims 4 Content (houses, lots, Sims or rooms) from/into your library.
It will also allow you to promote your creations not only in your own gallery but also on blogs, websites or even on the site Luniversims !
And even better... it allows to change the pictures of your creations !
I'm just looking for some clarification before I do something (wrong). Thank you for your help regardless.
