Cannot change character appearance

Hi,

Problem:

The game was just bought and installed and we cannot change the appearance of a existing or a new character in a new game. Not at the start of a new game an not when we go through a mirror.

Platform:

PC windows 10

Tried:

Repair

Removing sims folder

Rebooting

Extra info:

We have the option to select the voice, gender walk etc., in the upper left corner, but when you click on the character you are suppose to be able to select eye, face shoes etc. But we can only Turn them. Sometimes after you do a repair you get the option to do so, but when you go from one item to another it just disappears and you are left with the character, the two arrows below their feet and the option to turn them (the upper left and right corner are also there). The change appearance options are all gone.

I do not have mods and have no clue what a cc or CAS is.

  • CAS is create a sim.

    CC is custom content.

    You can change their appeareance by clicking on a dresser or a wardrobe (not a mirror) the option is plan outfits

    You can also edit them via cheats.

    Ctrl Shift C

    testingcheats true

    cas.fulleditmode

    shift click on the sim you want to edit, "edit in Cas"

  • The @Coley666 but it did not work. I could do what you said but it had no effect. I keep getting the same issue (see picture). I tried removing the game and re-installing it with the same result. Are there some files left after removing the game that I should also delete for the best result or is there anything else I can try?

    This is all I see and I can only turn my sim around.

    I've had a google and it seems a mouse issue can cause this problem. Are you on a laptop or a computer?

    If you're using the trackpad on a laptop please plug in a mouse and see if this fixes the issue

  • I am on a computer, but will try another mouse. I will keep you posted. Thx

    @KiaJadaa Hey, this thread is over 2 years old so I suspect you won't get a response. It's worth trying the steps listed, but if your issue persists, I'd recommend creating a new thread, with any details of your specific issue.

    Thanks.
