@ieatgreenblood Every time it has happened to me it was because the bald sim had a CC hair that I no longer have. (or didn't have when I saved it)
What I mean is, If you are having a problem with CC, or maybe you updated the game and it automatically turned off CC/Mods (like it usually does), if your mods/cc are turned off, and you load the game and SAVE IT while the mods/cc are disabled, any sim with CC hair will become bald.
Unfortunately, turning the mods/cc back on in the options won't fix it. If you saved the game while cc was disabled, the change is permanent on that save.
If that happened, you have two options, you can either find every bald sim and manually set their hair again... or load up an older save.
If you have a bald sim and whatever CC hair you had on them still works, that's likely what happened.
To prevent it happening in the future, whenever the game updates, load the game, DO NOT load a world. Go straight into options, turn on CC/mods/scripts, and exit the game completely. The next time you run it, it should work fine.
@Psychotps Thank you for the CC information. That makes a lot of sense. I don't use Mods or CC so I haven't gone through that process. I was assuming it could either be something like that, or a situation where the CC was broken by a patch and this stripped all of the hair. What you describe reminds me of what happened to me when I disabled all packs while building a BaseGame lot. I thought it would make things easier. Let's just say some households (and probably lots too, though I rolled most of it back) got stripped of non BaseGame items. I went into my game and found some sims were bald or in their undies for certain outfits. <Duh?! > Grrrr... annoying lesson to learn. 🤨
@SheriGR That's the same thing. Add-on packs come with hair, clothing. If you disabled the add-on packs, any sims with hair from those packs would become bald/naked once you saved the game without the packs installed.
It's the same problem with the same solution. Either restore from an older save or manually go through, take them all into cas and set them back up.
What I do in that circumstance? I have a separate world called "Unmodded". If I want to build lots/sims with no mods, I load up that world. Doesn't matter if I save it or not, it's basically only a junk world. If I remove all my mods, I just make sure to load up THAT world and not my main playthrough worlds until I put the mods/cc back in.Do that. Create a new world called "Base Game". If you remove all your add-ons and packs, make sure to ONLY load up THAT world. Do not load up any of your others until you put the packs back in.
@Psychotps That's exactly what I did! 🙌 I have a save now that is BaseGame only, and if I ever want to enable all packs I only load that one. Hard lesson to learn the hard way, but it could have be way worse, so I'm thankful for that. If worse comes to worse, this is why I make daily backups. 🙂
