Edit By sasishID: I incorrectly reported that this was an issue with 1 particular beard. It is not. I have updated to reflect that.

😢 For years I'd been planning to create an Aunty sim with facial hair & finally got all packs & made Aunt Bernice, only to bring her into live mode & facial hair is gone. What's all this equality stuff all about that EA says it supports, yet we can't even keep facial hair on women frames, even though it happens in real life, even real women have had to have facial hair, so why is the game barring that one thing? It's sending a message to confirm that women can't have facial hair like it's the ultimate thing that's not aloud to exist. This is not fair Sims Team. Over a year this is reported & not fixed. I can see why people give up on Sims.

Since I started this thread I am one of the players that have given up and made the exodus from the Sims/EA market. I left around the time of the flashing cart issue, which was especially frustrating since they had just put in a handful of inclusive updates and then rolled out a "give money" button that was awful to different members of the disabled player base.
Along with seeing years-long problems go unfixed, I just decided it wasn't worth it after that, decided no more of my money for EA until a functioning Sims 4(or 5, before they scrapped it) exists. Every time I see a new update or feature unveiled and feel a little sad about missing out, I remember it probably won't work or will break the game, and I haven't been wrong yet.
I didn't even get the rerelease of MySims, despite it being so important to me over the years, because I didn't trust it would actually be a quality port and I'm sticking to the "functioning game" rule. I knew this may be MS last outing, but I made the hard decision.
Anyway, 1 year later, this beard thing was definitely one of the straws.
I am disappointed to find this was also reported on another post from May 2023, still not fixed, & not enough people caring to click me too..
I just posted bug on Twitter X & tagged sims gurus, hopefully they'll notice it & look into it. As for getting word spread around to get more me too clicks, I don't have followers enough to see it.
I am having this problem as well! I came to search for a fix and I can't believe there is no fix and this has been a bug for years ☹️((
omg, Fixed!(I checked)TY! Now I can finally play Aunt Bernice sim in Fframe🤍🙌🏃🏃➡️🎉yay🥹
(Before fix, I'd turned her to male frame to get the facial hair in game, but it wasn't as good, so I left her aside sadly, So relieved the team fixed it finally!)
*(can be marked as solved now)
