The Sims Teamrecent glitch, only affects the hair colour, gender and age sections in CAS, hair colour icons have green and white dots over them, the male symbol is stretched out into the age sector and takes half of it up and in the gender sector, male symbol replaced by a tiny search symbol and the female symbol...is a green dot. I 100% know this is a mods issue, I went into live mode though and forced a better exceptions Last Exception and nothing, literally nothing. I have plans to report my mccc le to deaderpool servers but, I doubt it will say anything since be didn't catch anything. Is there anything else I could do to fix it or is it down to 50/50 and better exceptions?
UPDATE: Fixed just needed to update more columns in CAS
@echoesofsilencex Hey! I'm sorry you're having trouble with this. Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no sure way to determine which mod or CC might be causing the problem without testing them individually. So if the LEs aren't catching the issue and the folks at the DP server aren't able to find it, then your best bet is to test test test. :-)
You might first try taking out any mods that affect CAS as you described; possibly hair color swatches, or gender / age manipulation etc. You might also go ahead and take out any hair CC. Maybe create a desktop folder to hold them temporarily. Whenever you move mods / CC out of the Mods folder, I suggest you also delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing. This file can sometimes carry effects from mods / CC even when you remove them. If the game looks okay without those, then you've limited your search and can just test adding them back a little at a time.
If that doesn't help, click the spoiler below for the steps I use when testing mods / CC. I know this can be rather tedious but it will be worth it to fix your game.
1. Create a new game for testing so that your current save is left unchanged until you've identified the problem mods/CC.
2. Create some folders on your desktop; perhaps one labeled "Tested Safe Mods-CC", another labeled "Mods-CC Needs Testing" and one more labeled "Broken Mods-CC" so you know which ones to check for updates. This will keep tested mods/CC separated.
3. Exit the game if you haven't already, and divide your mods/CC in half; put one half in the Needs Testing folder and put/keep the other half into the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 / Mods folder.
4. Delete the localthumbcache.package file, located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game with the half you're testing,
5. If the game works with that half, exit the game, move that half to the Safe Mods-CC folder and move the remaining "Needs Testing" mods back to the Mods folder to test (Again, delete that cache file before opening the game.)
6. Once you know which half is causing the issue, divide those in half, keeping one half in the "Needs Testing" folder and one half in your Mods folder, and test again (delete the cache file each time after moving mods/CC and before opening the game) and moving mods/CC not causing problems into the Safe folder.
7. Repeat this process until you find all that are broken.
same, sorry I forgot to update about it, it was just due to broken mods 🙂
