Sim without gender

There really shouldn't be any such thing as a sim of any age or species who has no gender. If you bring this one into testingcheats CAS, does male show up there? Male sims of all ages pick up female hairs all the time in may players' games, there is a glitch with one that is pigtails that is most commonly seen, but especially on adult sims. It's easy to fix that, though.

I notice that you also posted and are discussing this on the TS2 board. In which version of the game did this happen?

There is some TS3 CC hair for males, that causes the game to give this girl's hairstyle to the males.

Has anyone figured this bug out yet? I know it's off topic but every thread I've found about the male pigtail bug (also affects some other base game hairs) doesn't give a clear answer. But I do know it has happened in my own games where I only had CC hair and clothes but no actual mods.

Yes, but the solution is kind of painful. The issue has nothing to do with CC or mods.

The female pigtails are represented multiple times in different game and delta build files. At least one of them is incorrectly coded for both genders. Using tools such as EasyCASP Editor or a CAS invalid parts blacklist with NRaas MC/Dresser won't work because they only latch onto the first instance of the hair that they find. The actual game/patch files have to be altered in order to eradicate the others and the steps for doing so...let's just say are beyond my pay grade. I never see the actual pig tails on males for some reason, but I would do the same as others and as I do when a business executive shows for a formal function wearing a color mismatched superhero cape, snorkel mask, and bunny slippers and just replace the nonsense on sims as I notice them.

Hello everybody,
I posted that in TS2 by mistake but I don’t know how to delete it . My sim is my profile picture and he is the same with the guy you posted above. Is that because I have many hair,clothes, houses downloaded ? I have some problems with the downloaded hair but this is different.

It's just a badly coded base game and/or EP hair with duplicate occurrences in the game files. It's fine to replace it on this sim with something else in Change Appearance (mirrors), testingcheats CAS, or by using a mod. Players with and without custom content and mods get this, some more than others. It doesn't mean that your sim has no gender or that anything is seriously wrong with them.

My baby aged up to toddler with a female ponytail for hair, I blamed it on me going into CAS via testingcheats and changing her gender to a boy.As I never had this issue before, but good to know that it may just be an awkward glitchy hair.

It happened in my game two weeks ago when a boy aged up to Child and got the pigtails. He looked cute in them, but I used MasterController/Stylist to change it. :blush:

That's better than anything else I've found, infuriating and only for a well-paid dev to tackle or not. ;)

My infant son aged up to toddler and received the long hairstyle which was meant for toddler girls. I thought he looked really cute in the hair and thought about letting him keep it but, in the end changed my mind and gave him a store hair instead. I had never seen the adult male ponytail mismatch and didn't know this was a thing until now.
