Hair, clothing, disappearing NO CC's

It has taken me days and much removing/reinstalling game to finally get EA app back on. I removed my Tray & Saves reinstalling my worlds but not my personal games. With my tray files I started fresh only adding items no more than a year old. The only mods I have BetterExceptions, Lot 51 Library Core, MCC,MCWoohoo, thepancake 1 MoreTraits CAS. So far all has been going well. However, BE has exceptions but not mod related it is game related with animation with various things the Sims do. I am also having issues with my child's hair keeps disappearing as well as certain clothing items. This was also happening without any mod so it is has nothing to do with mods. This has something to do with the game. I also see NPC without hair or just in their underwear so it is not just my sims. It is CC but it is the games CC not anything that has been added by mods or mod related. Before I started adding the  mods I have added I played without mods only using the game cheats and was having my Sims do something like cook & then suddenly she was giving me a rations that she could not do it right in the middle of making the dish. I added BE in hopes of getting an idea what was going on but did not get an exception for all the things that were going on so added MCC/MCWoohoo and it gave exceptions but I really cannot understand that exception file at all. Then finally added MoreTraits still no issues with mods only the games  things that were there before mods. Cheat codes for the game do not always work.

    No it does not but apparently neither does putting their hair and clothes back on either. I am NOT using any mods NOT even BE. So, it is not being caused by mods. It is a bug in the game and it just randomly seems to be doing it. NOTHING I do fixes it. In fact the issue with suddenly sims  not being able to do things that they were doing because something is causing them to think they  cannot continue is also random but happens enough to be pure frustrating having to move something around then putting it right back where they started and they continue as if nothing happened. Something is causing it and again there seems to be no fix for it with what I have been doing.

    Phaewalker​ If you have Better Exceptions, we can't assume no mods/CC causes your issue. You HAVE to try with an empty mods folder to get out of this part of the Forums. 

    Removing the mods, however, won't fix a naked Sim. Redress them in CAS. Then try again.

    So, now my little girl is hairless and nothing but her undies. No mods so what the problem now.

    Even though I have done this apparently no one believes me when I say something is happening Without MODS  so I put only what the game always which was BE to try and find out what is causing things and it is issues with the game but everyone wants to place blame on the mods. Well I did this as you detailed out and now I cannot log in at all. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. 

    It may not be consider CC I do know what CC is but the only thing was what came with the game and its DLC of which I have them all but these last ones but have not interest in spending any more  in a game that I can't play. I tried to play offline and it won't even log in so not sure how that all works either. It is recommended so you can actually play but I guess even that is not working for me. Too much trouble to play anymore. And no good tech support. 

    Had to reinstall EA app before it would allow me to log back in. So, much fun to repeatedly have to keep reinstalling the app or the game or starting over because you can't play the game the way you want you have to  play it and be bored 

  • Phaewalker​ Please do this:

    1. Rename the Mods folder.
    2. Delete the file called localthumbcache.
    3. Start the game. This will launch you TRULY mod/CC-free, and is the ONLY way to rule out mods causing your issue. 
    4. Go to the game loading menu, load your save, and do a "Save As" so you have a test copy of it. 
    5. Now go into CAS with Sims who are missing hair or clothes. Put the hair and clothes on them and see if they still have it in-game. 

     

    "CC" means things made by players. If you got it from Maxis, it's not "CC."
