Body hair, can it be turned off?

I REALLY hate the idea of townies getting random body hair. Can it be turned off, or do I have to cas.fulleditmode every single townie I meet?

  • Do some townies have full beards? Do some townies have horrible taste in apparel? Yes they do and to change it, you can go into world map, manage households and then change it. Why would body hair be different?

    SimGuruGeorge said in the stream that the sims' beards will grow significantly longer than what their regular look in CAS is and that they can also shave it all off. So, I am afraid that it's not just what you set in CAS if hair growth is enabled. I foresee lots of furry sims and they won't be werewolves.
  • "Enable Hair Growth" is shown as a toggle per sim in CAS. It looked like it defaulted to off.

    Also, hair growth is pack-specific. It will not come in the basegame update.

    Oh! This is new! So it's no longer going to be "here's your beard, now love it or else?"

    I ain't gonna lie, I like this!

    When are all of these features going to happen?

    No. While we try to give players the option to toggle certain gameplay features, Hairy identities are a fact of life and not a toggle to be switched on and off.

    I know this was a few years ago, but I found this post on Google searching for a solution and I just had to respond to this answer.  Why is having to look at my sims with ugly random squiggly lines on their legs a "fact of life"?

    Also, isn't aging a fact of life?  But you let us disable that, so why not this?  Seems more than a little arbitrary to me.

    Frankly, I don't understand why EA would have such a smug attitude in response to player feedback instead of giving the customer what they want.  It's 3 years later and this "feature" is still a sucky annoyance that makes me want to downgrade to an earlier version.

    Seriously, start listening to your players.  Do you know how ugly this looks on sims with green hair?  She looks like she has some kind of disease.  I keep removing the hair in CAS but it keeps growing back, apparently because EA thinks it's "a fact of life".
