Re: [OPEN] [ROM] Spellcaster's pointed ears not showing up in Live Mode

@SilentK008 Did you also add them through an unlock mod or regularly ?

Did any of you try to put the mod back and re-set them ? Like change to normal and set them pointy again ?

    I use mods in my game but I have never downloaded anything in order to unlock pointy ears. All my sims with pointy ears have been spellcasters.

    The household above has been in my game since sometime in october I think, I put up a link to them on the Gallery for a member on the Sims 4 forum and she has always had the ears.

    But now she looks like this in the game.

    Today I removed all my mods, tried a new save and another household with spellcasters.

    This is a old household from october with spellaster-pointy ears. The sims has blush and CC-eyes since I had mods in my game when I uploaded them to my tray. Just wanted to show that this is an old household.

    She still have the ears in CAS. My game is now mods-free. The blush and CC-eyes are gone from the household.

    I tried to make a few new sims with pointy ears.

    Ingame they have lost their pointy ears.

    When I try to make a new spellcaster in CAS the pre-sets for pointed ears are gone. I cannot chose to give a spellcaster pointed ears, I have to randomise until I get a spellcaster with pointed ears if I want to see them on a newly created sim.

    Like the grey sim-guy above here. I have no option in the ear-presets to give a spellcaster pointy ears. If I drag around with the ear I will only get a big round ear instead. At the moment the only way for me to get a newly created sim with spellcaster ears I have to randomise until I get a sim who has the pointy ears from the get-go. Then I can move the game-generated ears around.

    It has been a while since I made a spellcaster in CAS so I do not remember what it looked like pre-Uni-patch but I remember that I could still give any spellcaster pointy ears if I wanted to. That is no longer an option in my game. I can download previously made spellcasters and they still have their pointy ears in CAS but no spellaster has them in the game any more.

    This is a but that really vexes me so if there is anything I can do to help let me know.

    Cheers!

    After the Eco-patch my spellcasters have their ears back!

    I can make any spellcaster in CAS and if they have round ears I have the opportunity to give them pointy ears and they show up in live mode later on.

    For me the bug has been fixed and I am so so happy.

  • @SilentK008 : It may have been fixed before that, because last month, I made a Sim solely to test that, and it looked like it worked, so I made an elf for one of my spellcaster households.

    Glad to hear that, though! (Possible Cavet: @jpkarlsen has told me that pointy ears only work for spellcasters made in CAS; any spellcasters born with them will lose them if you go into CAS, IIRC.)

    Happy to hear that players may have had their pointy eared spellcasters back for a while. I usually wait with updating my game until there is an interesting pack, it just takes so much time to sort out the mods  🙂

    Thanks for heads up about the possibility of losing the ears, will keep an eye on it.

    @StarryMight Wait, what about "Elves" already created in CAS with pointed ears that are turned into spellcasters in-game? That's what my Elves are, I made them before RoM even existed and had to convert them all into spellcasters through in-game processes.

    Sorry if this is a bump, but @paradiseplanet27 , here's what @jpkarlsen told me...

    "Unless there was a stealth fix only spellcasters created in CAS can have pointy ears. It sounds like your OP used a mod to give normal Sims pointy ears. How that will work with converting them to spellcaster I can't say. OP will have to test."

    My 2nd gen "elf" had pointed ears but lost them when I went into CAS to fix outfits and hair etc...now no way to get them back 😩 same with her half sister. They're both spellcasters ("weak bloodline") from an "elf" mother. Also missing occult eyes.

    Also missing spellcaster ears & eyes in CAS. Sims who previously had pointy ears and caster eyes are showing up in both game & CAS with rounded ears, no choices of supernatural eyes whatsoever. ☹️

  • @rivakarian : Unfortunately, only spellcasters made in CAS can have pointy ears that don't go away when you take them back into CAS, according to jpkarlsen.

    You said they also had occult eyes, but did they lose them in CAS, too? Hmm...same thing, perhaps? 🤔

    I'm sorry about that, though. ☹️

    @aserpente : Were they born in-game (as opposed to created in CAS)?

    When are they gonna fix this for mermaids?😬 Mermaids, spellcasters, werewolves, and aliens should have the option to have pointy ears in human form like Vampires
