Re: does anyone know why my sims keep going bald?

@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. 🙂

@SheriGR I think it happens to all of us. I had a main world I played a while ago. I don't remember what I did, but I think I saved it while testing mods, removed them all. Had a lot of bald-naked sims. I had no backup so I had no choice but to use the cas cheat to load up every one I spotted while playing.

Obviously I've been a lot more careful since.
