[HSY] Leg Hair Still Visable On Sim After Shaving

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.250.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All content through For Rent
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have Sim shave leg hair or shave leg hair to the desired length (I am using the Double Delight shower/tub combo object in 08 Taka Soi 15 Residential Rental as a tenant)
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim enters the shower shave animations and countdown go very quickly and they get out...leg hair is still visable and the option to shave leg hair (again) is no longer available
What do you expect to see? For leg hair to be shaved (removed) from my Sims' legs after sleecting shave leg hair option
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Latest patch and then install of For Rent pack

I have found that when you exit to the main menu and go back into your save..the leg hair is gone (as it should be)...so there is a fix, but it's definitly not working as it should.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title. Please add pack tags yourself. Thank you.

  • @Vihisha Could you test if the same happens with another Sim ? Maybe also try another fresh save for testing purposes.

    I don't have time today to test myself :D

    Haven't been able to duplicate this on another Sim or another save, but it was something that showed up a couple times on this particular Sim in this particular save.

    @Vihisha Not really sure how leg hair is handled by the game. Could be something that's stuck on the Sim.

    Did you test this Sim in another save ?
  • I think I've encountered something like this with shaving facial hair, where you ask the sim to shave it off, but when they're done, the body hair is still visible and the shaving to preferred length option is gone.

    I think body hair growth got stuck -  I usually play on rotation and load in and out of different households, and I find this usually happens when I load back into a family I haven't played for a while.

    I usually reset it back to working by going into CAS and briefly selecting a different style of body hair and then back again - a message could pop up saying something like "Are you sure you want to change this - body hair growth will be reset" and I click OK. This should reset body hair growth back to working again, and also that means shaving should work again when I exit CAS and go back to live mode.

    So that's how I workaround the issue, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to.

    There's also this issue I reported back when HSY launched, but it's specific to the premade sim Kevin Puri: Kevin's arm and leg hair can't be removed. In that case it's because Kevin is premade with arm and leg hair applied that doesn't correspond to the setting in CAS so you can't remove it normally.

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!

    I can report that shaving function remains severely broken. If you give the shave command (particularly preferred face) it works maybe 50% of the time, at best. I usually have to return my Sim to the shower at least twice to get the desired shaving results. Ridiculous. I’m giving up on the shaving function for face.

    I am on Xbox
