Townies have the same hair

90% of my spawned female townies and NPC's have the same hair style. How does the game decide hair? I assumed it was random. I have tons of hair, I wonder why the game consistently loves this particular hair over all the others. It's so annoying. It is a CC hair if that matters. I always feel the need to go into CAS and change the hair because they all start looking the same if i don't.

  • My random-townies are either

    - Nerdie looking skinny female vampires
    - Really bad fashion aliens
    - Really Fat humans with short hair


    That is why random generators are a cr*p. They dress better than the ones i got in Thesims3 and their faces are less ugly than the ones in Thesims2, but they are still not something you wanna look at in your free time.

    Usually this problem occurs because the CC has a ton of swatches and they are all available for random. Either use S4 Studio to disable random for all, or just leave a few colors enabled.

    @KateRosen I'll do it. Or I can walk you through it because it's not that difficult. PM me.

    Its a bit of a pain, but if you have cc, download Sims4Studio and change your package file cc's so that they are disabled for random. It doesn't require anything more than just unticking a box in the S4S UI. Unfortunately, I don't know or haven't found a way to do them in batches, so if you are like me and have tons, it takes forever to do them one at a time.

    That should force the game to use only its own purchased content for random hairs. This fixed it for me so that every single sim didn't have nightcrawler's braided hair. Its beautiful but was getting a bit odd having all the men and women in my town sporting it.


    I was under the impression that the normal S4S batch fix for CC that disables for random works on hairs aswell.


    It does! The Batch Fixes are under the Tools Menu for those just starting out with Sims 4 Studio. You can fix all your broken cc after a patch, too, in one go, heck of a deal.
  • I've been having this problem too, with one particular cc hair and the hair color clown red! Absolute murder for my eyeballs!!! I tried to download the sims studio but the software isn't opening. I have finally gone through my files, source the problem hair and delete it but as for that red color preference my game has, I am at a loss! It remains to be seen what CC hairstyle in clown red the sims troll me with next.
  • I feel your pain, I have so much cc hair installed, nearly all of them maxis match and only one alpha hair I had to get for a clayified version to work, and about 60% of townies spawn with this particular alpha hair. It feels so out of place, which is the exact reason I don't like alpha cc.
