@pjmonster16 Mine just grows. Could you try a game repair through Origin ?

I have repaired the game, and the feature still isn't working.
- @pjmonster16 Could you test a new save for testing purposes (new Sim) to see if it's also nor working there (to check if it's isolated to your save/sim or a general issue)
Coming in to say that I've also had this issue. I do use mods/CC but I removed them all then created multiple different save files for testing purposes and still facial hair wouldn't grow even after playing a few weeks in the sims world, I've repaired the game multiple times, deleted localthumbcache, and exhausted every other solution I could think of. Also I've gone into CAS multiple times to ensure that the option is enabled. It still doesn't work for me.
- @silentavenger22 Have you tried a completely new folder ? Like renaming the current one and let the game create a new one than test a new game (for testing purposes) ?
- @crinrict I can sure try that. I did put my mods back in in the end because I spent hours slowly adding them back in and testing each time and nothing changed regarding facial hair growth. Would it be wise to remove them again?
- @crinrict I tried that out and I played a completely vanilla game. Still no facial hair.
- @silentavenger22 Does the body hair work ? I don't know how long you have to play but I know it didn't the first week for me. It took a moment
- @crinrict Body hair does work. The longest game I played I went until he almost aged up to young adult and still saw no facial hair, the other games I tested I played for about two weeks.
- @silentavenger22 I'm having the same problem.
@crinrictI have tried to test this and I think this may be the (or one of the) problems:
If you shave a beard or a body part completely and then save & quit the game and reload it, your set hair length preference is gone. The "naked" state is the new preference instead. And though hair growth remains enabled, the hair doesn't grow back.
The problem does not happen if you shave hair just back to the preferred length.One general reason behind this may be that hair doesn't grow from hairless body parts because the game needs a hairstyle preference that can be expanded. But that's complete speculation.
I will do further testing, this feature is very confused.- @alanmichael1 I always do body hair completely and it's always come back so far.
I do only use preferred length for facial. - @crinrict Perhaps you can do a very quick test: Take a Sim with chosen back hair, let him shave it completely, save & exit and reload the game. Then take him to CAS and see if he still has his back hair prefernce. For me it's gone - same with beards.
Shave Back hair
Saved the game
Re-entered
Entered CAS
Hair growth still enabled
Thanks a lot for testing! Then I have a glitch (in my vanilla game, scandalous). I will try repair game (perhaps this will also make my dust reappear) ...
- @alanmichael1 Nah, dust is broken
Just a question, does hair not grow at all if aging isn't enabled? Because I have it disabled at the moment (as a result of the aging bug) and it's been 2 sim weeks and my male sims facial hair hasn't grown, and my sims leg hair hasn't either (yes they are enabled, I made sure)
Repair game didn't help. Whenever I reload my game (or return from Manage Worlds) while my Sims' hairstyle is shorter OR LONGER than the set choice, the new style is the new default. The settings are not persistent. Perhaps it plays a role that I don't play a teen but a YA spellcaster. Hair growths remains enabled though.
- @alanmichael1 Could you test a non-occult Sim ?
It seems that hair growth works if you shave your sim's hair, so if you make a sim in CAS, and select a stubble for beards, that is what their preset hair length will be, so when it grows back, it'll be at that length, same with leg hair.
They keep their length until you shave them, so your male sims won't have a full beard if it's not their preset, or leg hair if you don't select it.
So has anyone in this thread tried to do this?
- @crinrict Yes, but the reason was my corrupted save. In a new save the problem is gone and hair settings are persistent. Nevertheless, corruption after the two recent patches may be the reason of some problems described in this thread. I noticed that my save was broken when not only hair settings but also newly bought items and plants disappeared after travelling.
I have the opposite problem. I was playing Lily Feng and she now has arm and leg hair. I removed them in cas but they grow back.
only Grows when you sleep
