The Diagnostics hub
An overview of the Diagnostics cards, what each one covers, and how to get into the detail views.
After a scan, the Diagnostics hub is your command center for everything that needs attention. Think of Home as the smoke alarm and Diagnostics as the map that shows you where the fire is.
Getting there#
Open Home after a scan. The health section shows a summary row for each issue type found. Click View diagnostics or go to Diagnostics in the sidebar to open the hub.
If you have not run a scan yet, Diagnostics shows a prompt to scan now. Every card in the hub is populated from scan data, so nothing shows up until you have results.
The Home health summary#
Before you even get to Diagnostics, Home gives you a quick read:
- A greeting based on time of day and a message based on your current scan state.
- Library - When you last scanned, how many items were found, total size, and used vs. unused counts with a link to Browse CC.
- Health - Rows for malware, broken files, conflicts, and duplicates if any were found. No issues means a clean bill of health.
- Quick actions - Scan Now, Browse CC, Diagnostics, and Tools. Mods Folder and Quarantine appear when relevant.
The Diagnostics cards#
Each card opens a full detail view for that issue type.
Conflicts and Duplicates#
Files that share resource IDs and may be overriding each other, files with the same content in multiple packages, and deeper tuning-level clashes. This is the card to open when something in-game is acting weird and you cannot figure out which mod is responsible.
See Conflicts and duplicates for the full walkthrough.
Broken Files#
CC that SimSweep can prove is missing a mesh or a recolor target. Broken files often show up as invisible objects or outfits with no geometry in-game. This card shows a count and links to a list so you can decide what to do with each one.
See Broken CC for the details on how detection works and what actions are available.
Save Health#
An analysis of your save files and which CC they depend on. Save discovery is free. Some of the deeper analysis features require Decrypt.
Quarantine#
Only appears when you have files in quarantine. Quarantine is where SimSweep puts files you have flagged as suspicious or removed from active play without deleting them permanently. You can review and restore them here.
Threats#
Only appears when the scan finds files with malware signals. SimSweep checks script mods for dangerous imports, system access patterns, and other red flags. If something shows up here, read the details before deciding what to do.
Crash Logs#
SimSweep parses your game's crash and exception logs and tries to identify which mods are most likely responsible. Useful when the game is crashing and you have no idea where to start.
Drilling into detail views#
Every card is a door. Click it to open the full view for that issue type, where you can see every affected file, read explanations, and take action. Detail views let you quarantine, delete, protect, or just investigate without committing to anything.
Heads up: Some detail views include Decrypt-gated features alongside free ones. The card itself and the basic file list are always free.
Next up#
Start with Conflicts and duplicates or Broken CC if either count is above zero.
