Quick note, if you have more CC that you want to get rid of than CC you want to keep, reverse the procedure, so make a sim or sims wearing things you want to keep, go to tray importer and find the files and move them to a seperate folder (could even put it on your desktop away from your mods folder), then everything else can be mass trashed!
it's easier to just right click on the cc in the tray importer and open file location. this will show you the cc in your mods folder without you having to look for it or u can highlight everything and get all the locations open at the same time !
The icons not in line isn't just a mac thing, it's a really annoying glitch that I hate. Maybe I could stop using custom content to avoid it, but no thanks, I need my cc.
Doing it with Sims 4 Studio is a lot easier! You can just pull up your CC in the program and it shows you what it is, with the option to edit swatches, tags, etc and delete it! I use it all the time!
Hey Kayla, I'm the person who asked about cc on tumblr (I don't have an account so I had to ask anonymously). Thanks for making this video, you always make me smile! :)
Lucija Tomac OMG YOUR A FREAKING GOOD A LIFESAVER I'VE BEEN LOCKING EVERYWHERE I'M LIKE KM MY HANDS AND KNEES PRAISING YOU!!! Thank you so much your such a good noodle
OMG THANK YOU, I RECENTLY STARTED JUST USING MAXIS MATCH BECAUSE MY FRIEND HELPED ME REALIZE HOW UGLY ALPHA IS AND I WANTED TO GET RID OF ALL MY ALPHA CC AND THIS HELPED ALOT!!
For those of you having a hard time opening up the application on Macs, you need to go into your system preferences and click security & privacy, there should be something at the bottom that says "Allow apps downloaded from" and it has three options underneath it, you need to have it set on "anywhere". If you are not able to change this, you need to click the lock in the corner and enter in your apple id and password, which will allow you to change it. Hope this helped!
That tray importer sounds awesome. I don't need it right now, but holy crap. I'm going to bookmark it for if/when I ever need it. Thanks for showing us how it works. Can I request that you do a All of My CC Hairs video? I love that hair you put on Teen Lucy in your Westwood LP, but I can't find it online. Thanks, Kayla.
Ahhh! Thank you sooooo much! Before I just had to move all my cc to a folder and then put about ten pieces back in at a time, start my game and find the pieces that don't work. It would take almost the whole day lol
you could also upload your broken cc sims and then check the uploaded households on the sims 4 tray app and then you can look at the cc through there. and delete the files in the mods folder. your way is good also, if you don't wanna upload it.
I usually just download the cc with the picture and put all the images in a separate folder so my game doesn't slow down yet, if something doesn't work for me anymore, I can easily delete it
My mods folder is so messy I literally just plop ALL of my package files in there and when i get rid of stuff i google the package name it's just too hard, thank you for this!!
how do you install tray importer on mac? it keeps saying "You can’t open the application “Sims4TrayImporter_inst.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
you can't open it because you need something to unzip the file with,you can download any file unzipper online like winrar and then it'll most likely let you open it. Hope that helps c:
You are downloading the wrong file. You need to go to the Mac download page and download the "Sims4TrayImporter_mac.zip" file. The file you tried to download is for windows, not mac.
Do you know what is funny? I just watched youtubes recommended video from you titled something like hate comments. People were saying you speak too fast. As a new viewer of your content I did not feel as if you spoke to fast. I have watched your house flipper videos. Starting to look at some sims 4 content. Yes you speak to fast this video being a good example LOL! To be honest I am rather impressed. I just feel a bit sorry for those who, English is not their first language. I guess they could just rewind the videos. You have a new subbie by the way.
unhøly So I downloaded the Mac version then when I opened it, it asked me to download MonoFramework .I downloaded it.To be save I deleted The Sim4TrayImporte and downloaded again ( having the MonoFramework) . And now it is working. I have an antivirus program and just for information both the TrayImportre and the Monoframework are save.
I tried what you said but it still doesn't work for me :( I downloaded MonoFramework and it still doesn't work!! What version do you have? i has macOS Sierra. i don't know if its because of that.
unhøly I have macOs Sierra ( Version 10.12.1) also. Well, do you have any protection program that might be blocking The TrayImporte? And I also turned off Firewall ! Because if it is on it won't let you open the file. When you open the file what does it say?
what file the trayimporter? it says "this file "Sims4trayimporter" Could not be opened" so I think thats the case, firewall but i have a question. will i loose all my data from turning it off? what will happen if i turn it off? it says I need a recovery key or something and I don't know it!!
When Kayla's talking about the recolours at 3:34 I can hear her internally cringe when she sees the yellow cheese hair. But thank you, this was so helpful! ❤️
The tray importer isn't working for me... I downloaded and installed everything needed, including Mono, and the application just bounces on the dock then disappears. I have tried numerous different things to try and solve it, including downloading and installing everything again but it still doesn't work. Help?
So i know this is kinda late kay;a but i just found u a few weeks ago and i love your videos so much. I was looking for a way to sort out my cc and i looked it up look who is the first one on the list? Kayla! and you really helped me so thank you
Can you make something that shows your entire mod folder? Like the files you organize. I have mac too, and tried many different ways to organize my mods folder and it never works out but yours looks great! would love to see how you did the rest of the subfolders.
I never knew this was a thing thank Jesus cuz I have a lot of cc hair that doesn't show properly but I can't find the file. Gonna try this tonight ah I'm so excited
The glitch isnt only for mac with the allinment uh huh! And when you said the cc video with the pink hairstyle if its not out all ready you should definitley use vintage glamour stuff pack like YES PLEASE!!!
Hey kayla I love this vid!! It was really helpful I actually got it and already used it and you have inspired me to make my mods folder organised into hair clothes etc. I thought I would ask if you could do a landscaping tutorial pretty please with maxis match cc and good noodles on top!!😂🐢🐘🦄😂 I love you!!
ok but how do we get it? I mean when downloading it, we receive an archive and when I extract it there's a folder with a lot of files and no application.. I have searched the youtube and no one's saying anything about that part
Can someone help me out? I downloaded the mac version of tray importer and downloaded Mono but everytime I try to open the tray importer, it just says "The application Sims4TrayImporter" can't be opened". What do I do?
Hello all make users, I've found the link for the mac version. There are no english instructions on this link but all you have to do is press download this file. luniversims.com/files/file/389-sims-4-tray-importer-for-mac/
Hayes Riviere hi, I downloaded the Mac version but could not get it to open or install. The site said I needed mono to open it? is that what you used? Any information from you would be greatly appreciated!!
I have tried downloading this twice now, and both times I have tried opening it multiple times. Every time I try to open it it says there is a problem and it can't be opened at this time. Is there anyway I can get it to open?
Is there a way you can just delete it out of your mods folder and it doesn't show up in the game because downloading all of that WINRAR stuff might take up some of my storage (not that I have that much)
Kayla , how do i find CC that goes with the game that doesnt have those shining things and highlights with hairs? Please teach me how to download CC from Tumblr
i've tried to download tray importer countless times but whenever i try to download it and open it up it says something like "you must go into safety mode to proceed" so then i press safety mode and it says "you must go into safety mode to proceed" and then it closes. i've tried to just open it normally as well and it doesn't work. anybody know how to possibly help me?
i need help! i have done all the things but everytime i try to open the thing it wont open like it jsut says can not open and its very stressful! how do i make it work???
People say you talk fast, but I understand you fine. Maybe because I talk fast too😂
yup
why am i finding you everywhere lmao
she talks to much just get to the point.
SAMEE xd
Quick note, if you have more CC that you want to get rid of than CC you want to keep, reverse the procedure, so make a sim or sims wearing things you want to keep, go to tray importer and find the files and move them to a seperate folder (could even put it on your desktop away from your mods folder), then everything else can be mass trashed!
...and thrn obviously just move your CC back to your mods folder and voila, you have a clean CC collection
Thanks...lol :D
Rebecca Janette Wild oh thanks! ❤
Rebecca Janette Wild also a good tactic for people who know they will end up still hoarding stuff 😂
Doesn’t work on Mac ):
it's easier to just right click on the cc in the tray importer and open file location. this will show you the cc in your mods folder without you having to look for it or u can highlight everything and get all the locations open at the same time !
+neesi sadly that doesn't work on Mac :(
+lilsimsie no way ! aw that's a shame
the try importer doesn't work AT ALL on my mac what do i do
Catlaxy thank you so so so much you are very appreciated
I know this is kinda late but instead of rightclicking it if you double click it it will
The icons not in line isn't just a mac thing, it's a really annoying glitch that I hate. Maybe I could stop using custom content to avoid it, but no thanks, I need my cc.
Yeah i have it on my pc
good to know! Happened to me recently and I was wondering what causes it.
Oh man! It's so frustrating.
you used that long straight hair on 10:12 in the westbrook legacy on one of the twins
Thank gosh! I was wondering if something with my columns mod was doing something ._.
Doing it with Sims 4 Studio is a lot easier! You can just pull up your CC in the program and it shows you what it is, with the option to edit swatches, tags, etc and delete it! I use it all the time!
Mariah Richardson Do you have to have it on your sim? Or does it just show all of your cc?
Mariah Richardson i tried but it was so slow, maybe it's just my pc lol 😂
Hey Kayla, I'm the person who asked about cc on tumblr (I don't have an account so I had to ask anonymously). Thanks for making this video, you always make me smile! :)

how do you install tray importer on mac? it keeps saying "You can’t open the application “Sims4TrayImporter_inst.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."

No, I didn't.

Do you know what is funny? I just watched youtubes recommended video from you titled something like hate comments. People were saying you speak too fast.

Thanks you so much! This helps me so much. Deleting CC is such a pain, so thank you the great idea!
I thought that on Mac this program didn't work. You changed my life ! Love you 😘
P.S: Love Mac 😻
How do you get it to work on Mac? I have one and it doesn't work.

Thank you!!! This worked perfectly!!! I got confused at one point, but then I found out what to do!!
The tray importer isn't working for me... I downloaded and installed everything needed, including Mono, and the application just bounces on the dock then disappears. I have tried numerous different things to try and solve it, including downloading and installing everything again but it still doesn't work. Help?
Me 2! Im gonna try to update my computer ill let you know how that goes
I think thats the problem... The tray importer website says that you need to have OSx 10.11.3 and I have 10.11.5...
TieDyedKiwi ok
I'm having the same problem. is there a way to go back to version 10.11.3?
ItsAlicia I'm not sure sorry

"oh look she's a floating head, heh me too." ~kayla
I've got a PC with Windows 10 and it still happens to me.
Whenever I try opening the Tray Importer for Mac on my computer, it says 'S4TI quit unexpectedly'. What do I do?
Hold up, how did you even download it for mac? I can't find the download for Mac anywhere on the website!!
Hayes Riviere did you figure it out?
Lyna Le did you figure it out?
Yes, there is a specific mac download. :)
Hayes Riviere hi, I downloaded the Mac version but could not get it to open or install. The site said I needed mono to open it? is that what you used? Any information from you would be greatly appreciated!!
I have a mac and it says that the tray importer is not supported can you say how you got it?
Its working on Mac ???
I can open the program
I have tried downloading this twice now, and both times I have tried opening it multiple times. Every time I try to open it it says there is a problem and it can't be opened at this time. Is there anyway I can get it to open?
FallenSimmer hi, did you figure it out?
this saved m'life omg
I took my mesh gloves, shirts, bottoms, and shoes and now my character is a floating head
I WISH I HAD SEEN THIS YESTERDAY BEFORE I RESTARTED MY GAME 200 TIMESSS
The thing with the cc that is on the side and you cant see it isnt just for mac, it happens on my computer too :o
Is there a way to find/delete broken cc without the Tray Importer?
Is there a way you can just delete it out of your mods folder and it doesn't show up in the game because downloading all of that WINRAR stuff might take up some of my storage (not that I have that much)
how do you make your sims' skin so smooth w/o cc? and how is your cas background white?
Do you know of a way to do this in build too? I have a lot of crap that I don't know what is.
Only problem I have, when I go to CC nothing shows up, there is no files, nothing, what do I do?
mine also
FakeHoeSimmer In-game or in file explorer
This is so cool thanks for the awesome vid!
Kayla , how do i find CC that goes with the game that doesnt have those shining things and highlights with hairs? Please teach me how to download CC from Tumblr
Love It! 💚🙃💛 This helped me a lot! Please can you do another look book I love them!
i've tried to download tray importer countless times but whenever i try to download it and open it up it says something like "you must go into safety mode to proceed" so then i press safety mode and it says "you must go into safety mode to proceed" and then it closes. i've tried to just open it normally as well and it doesn't work. anybody know how to possibly help me?
The floating head looks like those iPhone 3D emoji things
Omg I found a recolor of a dress and know it looks Maxis Match :D I'm gonna send it on you're sim or main and reblog acc 😘😘😘
i don't have any cc makeup because I can barely find any that are true maxis match lol
Try looking in Tumblr. Search 'sims 4 mm (maxis match) makeup' Or, if you're lucky, you could find some on TSR. (The Sims Resource)
I downloaded both files and extracted the .exe from them but i can't install it? how do you get the actual tray importer to download?
i need help! i have done all the things but everytime i try to open the thing it wont open like it jsut says can not open and its very stressful! how do i make it work???
LOVE YOU KAYLA THANK YOUUU xx
