Turn off all hair growth?

As far as I know it's only on individual sims. Have you looked in the settings? I haven't so I don't know.

I can’t even get my one playable sim to grow any hair at all - I’ve checked and double checked that the boxes are ticked - I selected hair that came with HSY only - tried with mods and without - nothing seems to trigger it for me

Well we have a very opposite problem but still an issue. It's weird seeing every pre made with an absurd amount of facial hair and Sulani Beach... it's hairy, very very hairy

I only have facial hair checked for growth. All body hair is unchecked. The father and teen son shave every couple days.
I found it quite time consuming full body shaving every couple days.

After buying HSY I checked several unplayed Sims and none of them had hair growth enabled. I did have a few new Sims span with a body hair preset, but again, hair growth was disabled. Is it disabled by default in some games and enabled for others or is it just random? I have not seen one Sim yet with overgrown hair in my game.

How are you preventing hair growth on sims you don't play as? I toggle it off for my sims but my townies and npcs are spawning in, especially the women, with hairy backs, legs and arms. The men are all beginning to have unruly beards.

I assumed it was auto disabled for non played sims. I don't see hair growth on NPCs.
I only have one family in played sims, all other sims are in the unplayed households.

I just started a new save for a one Sim challenge that I didn't want to do in my rotational saves and this save has issues such as losing progress by a few sim days after saving. When I reopen it, the game didn't save at the save point but one in the past. And it has a hair growth issue. I use the gallery to evict sims into npc world so my townies are half gallery and half spawns but regardless my pre mades, gallery and spawned townies are growing hair. The more my Sim interacts with them the worse it gets. Diego Lobo is near full beard now and I've not played as him only interacted with him (for example) so I have no idea

Interesting. Now I wonder whether the issue could be with new saves? All of my saves are at least 6 months old (most several years old). Or does this happen in your older saves as well?

I put the length of beard on my one Sim then, after quite some time and another player saying so, I went back into CAS to turn on the hair growth. He did grow some facial hair, that I had him very carefully shave off again. I think you may have to set it per individual Sims. I'm surprised to learn that NPS are growing hair. I don't believe all that many of us touch the NPCs to take them into CAS to set things up for them. At least, we shouldn't have to, I wouldn't think. Yikes. And the bugs just keep on comin'! Oi!

It's probably a new save issue. Like you all of my saves were underway before HSY and none of those sims has any hair growth. I noticed the other night when I went into CAS to create some new sims, none of the older CAS premades spawned with body hair. If I started clicking the randomize button those sims would often have at least one form of body hair but growth was never active.

Yep, this is my first new save post updates and HSY and when I click randomize in cas it will more often than not give the sim body hair and enable the growth. I didn't even realize my female sim had back hair until she went swimming. So I'm guessing this is the issue as is the issue with the over accessorized townies and random seasonal wear for pre mades. Soooo... I'm glad it's not effecting my previous saves but this new save, I'm glad it's just a challenge with an ending because the hair is getting out of control. I even get prompts to support hair growth for the sim they're talking to. I've never picked that prompt but I see that it's there which could potentially prompt beard growth... which is happening regardless.
