    @axenicie  Which packs do you have installed?  If you filter CAS by pack, how many hairs do you see available for each pack?  The filter menu can be opened by clicking the snowflake icon to the right of the option to change between hairs with hats and hairs without; it's next to the lock icon.

    @puzzlezaddict i have all the expansion packs + 70s,80s,90s stuff pack and roaring heights. When i open the hair section like i said i only see one hairstyle from university life pack (i tried to filter before didnt help), 3 from world adventures so go on i dont even have see any hairs from pets expansion pack.
  • @mate54 yes other everything is fine. The problem is with the non accessorized hair. The other ones with hat or beanies are fine.

    @axenicie  Can you take a screenshot or two of what you're seeing?  I'd like to compare with my game.  To capture the UI, put the game in windowed mode, then hit Windows key-shift-S and drag your cursor over the section of screen you want to capture.

    Please also try uninstalling and reinstalling one pack; it can be a stuff pack if you want to save time.  You can simply delete the pack folder, which will be inside the Sims 3 program files.  Unless you changed the default install location in Origin, the full file path will be:

    Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3

    The packs will be labeled by type and release order, e.g. World Adventures is EP01, Into the Future is EP11, etc.

    I will send it one by one because it doesn't accept. I tried to send the whole thing but I'm sure it has to be more hair than this right? I will try to delete one stuff pack and download it again after I send the photos. 

    Now I tried to uninstall a stuff pack and downloading again but it didn't work. It's still the same.

    @axenicie  It looks like you do have the usual hairs, or at least you do for a number of packs.  See the little icons in the lower left corner of each hair thumbnail?  Those icons tell you what pack the hairs came from.  The base game hairs don't have an icon, but everything else does.  For example, in the first screenshot you posted, the hexagonal icon is for Into the Future,  the icon with two shades of blue is for Island Paradise, and I believe the orange-ish one is for University Life.

    Yes I know that but there were more hairstyles in university life not just a bun you know. And for males -i dont really remember its been a while since i played it- i couldn’t see any hairstyles from world adventures but it is downloaded.

    @axenicie  Alright, I opened my game (I have all expansions and some stuff packs), and here are the total numbers of hairstyles without accessories for young adults and adults:

    base game:  15 male, 22 female

    World Adventures: 0 male, 2 female

    Ambitions: 6 male, 5 female

    Late Night: 6 male, 5 female

    Generations: 3 male, 3 female

    Pets: 3 male, 2 female

    Showtime: 4 male, 4 female

    Supernatural: 5 male, 5 female

    Seasons: 0 male, 2 female

    University Life: 4 male, 1 female

    Island Paradise: 4 male, 4 female

    Into the Future: 4 male, 5 female

    This particular install is two years old, so if there was ever a change, it didn't happen recently.  I don't think this is different though.  I found a few videos showing the CAS options from back when certain packs were released, and it looks like the list was always this short.  Here's an example:

    The options in that video are exactly what I see.
