Tattooing changes hair and makeup

Hiya,

So whenever I give my male sims tattoos at the spa or via the machine it changes their hair, and whenever I do girls it changes their eyeliner.

My assumption is it is something to do with that I tattoo au naturale but I'm not sure if it's caused by CmarNYC tattoo naked or the naked tattoo setting in Master Controller, which I have set to true.
When the tattoo CAS loads the sim gets naked twice so I'm not sure which one is which.

But it is a pain to have to change their hair and makeup back to how I had it when I'm done. The hair I don't mind as much but I give all my girls a layering of two-three s-club lashes for their eyeliner and having the tattooing change it to raccoon eyes each time is super annoying.
  • @igazor yes I have MC Integration and no, the MC tattoo command doesn't do anything different.
    I think doing what @Emily4331 suggested should help, although it's still annoying that it saves the change to the hair and makeup even after I exit the tattooing.

    Edit: I also turned off the tattoo naked setting in MC to see if it was that or the CmarNYC mod that was the changing naked, and it was the MC one. Just took Logan back in and his hair stayed the same. I 'spose I don't need both of them to do the same thing, so I think I'll just leave the setting false now.
  • Does anything different happen if you use an MC command to do the tattoo instead of the spa or tattoo chair, and do you have MC Integration add-on module?

    I have noticed that some CC - like hairs and the S-Club lashes - just don't get along with Outdoor outfits and naked/shower outfits. So if I had to guess it is causing issues because of your tattooing settings. Since your sims are being tattooed "au naturale", as you put it, there might be some glitch because the items, as I mention, already act funky in some outfits anyway.

    I know you probably don't want to change your settings or get rid of mods, so I will suggest this: use NRAAS MasterController to change your sim's naked outfit. Set their hair and makeup to Unlocked. Which means it will only apply to your sims when they're naked like in the shower and such. You don't have to change their hair or makeup, just unlock it. That way, hopefully, if the tattooing causes the same glitch it will at least not mess up all of the other outfits. Worst case is you'll just have to set the hair and makeup of the naked category to something else that won't cause the glitch. But since your sims probably aren't nudists, I'm sure that won't be too big of a problem. :tongue:
