Body Hair

As far as I know there is no option to turn the system off. You have to do it for every sim in your game individually. The lack of an on/off switch is one of my main reasons not to get this EP

I do like the body hair, however I do wish it wouldn’t automatically give all my sims that are teen & up body hair. I always have to go into CAS to fix it.?

I agree with @SERVERFRA. I wanted body hair but do find it frustrating that they gave sims I previously made body hair. I waste so much time having to put them into CAS to update them with the new features they put in. I want to play my game but it takes so long to set it up now, as I add many sims to my towns that I make and have to take each and every one of them back into CAS to fix them. I prefer the way Sims 2 and 3 did it where they start out with only underwear, no accessories, tattoos, makeup, crazy outfits, etc.

Am I missing some setting that will stop all of my game-generated NPCs being covered in gross orange body hair??? Seriously!

:D
That's hilarious!
I noticed a couple of my townie sims have become hairy, too. Thankfully it's dark and not orange!

It's not that I don't want body hair, but it's like beards. . . I like to choose who has them. I especially don't want the game to add orange beards to random sims! So, same thing.
I found 2 solutions for the random body hair on generated NPCs and to stop new body hair on my female Sims. First I had to remove the body hair from all of the existing NPC who I didn't want to have it. Then I installed a Bienchen mod "norandomhatsaccessoriesandmakeup" to stop new NPCs from starting out with body hair. Then I found a mod to stop automatic female body hair by False Hope "No Female Body Hair." While this mod only impacts female sims, it has really stopped the teenage girl sims at the beach from being covered in orange fur!

Be great if there was an option to turn it off all female townies now spawn with back hair kind of ridiculous how poorly this feature was added in love it being there but hate how it was implemented.

I really wish the body hair was not random, but based on genetics. Like a sim would normally not get much body hair unless the chance was passed down from a parent. Same with need for glasses etc. But I agree that no matter how it was organized, a toggle off option would be appreciated :)

The excessive body hair on randomized and game-generated female sims is a bug. EA is having trouble reproducing it and they sent out a second call for saves last month. Please consider sending yours in, @ChadSims2 @glory_joy @SERVERFRA

As I find the game nearly unplayable without mods, I won't be sending a save file, but I do note in the bug report that players who don't use mods or who have removed them are still having the issue. The solution to go into CAS and remove it is unreasonable, given that it took me over an hour to do that on all game generated sims, and my own who aged up.

I've had a couple of women grow back hair, which was pretty gross.
