Hair Glitch

I have seen this a couple times in my game and it is always that base game hair.

I've seen that in my game a few times. Usually resetting the sim fixes the problem (for me at least). I also hope I'm not the only person who really dislikes that hair. :D

That hair seems it's supposed to be enabled just for female T-E's perhaps but one of the developers might have forgot to classify it at all which may be why it shows in all age groups and in both genders for the random category.

Try changing the toddlers hairstyle, I think that should fix it.

I'd try to fix that problem hair with S3OC to make it only show up for teens and older.

I always thought it was floating because the game is actually positioning it at child's (or teen's) height. That is, I think it's not a toddler hair and shouldn't be assigned to toddlers. I get this too sometimes (and that particular hair on older male sims too). I just take the sim into MC>Stylist and choose something different.

I did take the toddler into stylist to see if it was on her there. It wasn't. But I changed her hairstyle anyway, to toddler pigtails. I'm just glad it's not something indicating corruption of my game. I do not want to lose this game to corruption.

If I'm understanding this right, the toddler is meant to be wearing a cc hair in that picture but instead the EA pigtails hair is floating above her head. Do you know the name of the hair? I think it's bad cc. Try downloading a different version of it.

@coco I think there is a hair that has been enabled incorrectly. I don't know how to fix it but I think you need S3PE to change a setting in the code used to make the hair. Since I've never looked at that type of code I'd be clueless as to how to fix it. But it should be fixable.

I did have floating hair once but I think my problem was bad cc that I finally got rid of by using the 50/50 method. It took a really long long time to find it. But that hair looked great on my toddler. It was causing other glitches in the game though, and the main one was when I couldn't open the save any more. Fortunately I use Save As so I was able to go back to an earlier save and test if it was the hair and putting it on a toddler and saving made the save unable to be opened again. That's when I knew I had it and removed it and there were no more issues.

The underlying problem is more complicated than that. The bad EA pigtail CAS part is represented multiple times among the game and patch files. One has to find all of them to get rid of the poor age stage allowance coding. One of my colleagues at NRaas (retired now) managed to do this on his own game, but his explanation was so complicated I'm afraid very few if any of us were able to follow it. :/

@IreneSwift - I would have to dig up the explanation for this that we got from J4Ks at NRaas many years ago, but again most of us couldn't really follow it all. If the female pigtails do not corrupt the game when they appear incorrectly on grown males, then they shouldn't when they appear on toddlers either. It just looks ridiculous until we fix it on the individual sims. It's not a CC, an EP, or a mods thing as players on all kinds of combos including total vanilla and those on the other extreme who work with Dresser/MC mod blacklists and CASP editors experience it as well.

Strangely enough, I've never seen this hair showing up in unwanted places in my own game but maybe it's only a matter of time.
