Re: CAS-Bug: Male nose slider partly inverted ...

@SimsNateia   Thank you very much for sharing that video! It definitely helps us to have the visual.  While watching the video, I made some notes about my observations which I'm putting in a spoiler tag here.

Spoiler

- In the first part of your video, I see what you mean by the inversion.  From the right side of the nose, moving to the right should make it wider but yours went the opposite direction.  Also, I'm not able to make my sim's nose that narrow, where the nostrils seem to almost cave in.

- In the next part, the sim is facing to the left, from my perspective.  Again, just as you said, the controls are opposite of what I'm seeing in my game.  And again, I'm not able to make my sim's nose as flat as yours.

- When you clicked to edit the detail, again I see the controls are opposite of what they should be, except for when you manipulated the bridge of the nose and the tip.  The controls for those parts look normal.

- After you turned the sim to the left again, the view was still in the edit details mode.  Again the controls for the nose length seemed inverted but, in this view when you manipulated the bridge, only the bridge changed.  The tip of the nose did not move.  Then when you exited out of the details view, the controls worked opposite of what they should.

- The last thing I noticed was when you had the sim facing to the right, the controls seemed normal that time.  Although, for some reason, when you dragged to the right the tip and nostrils moved instead of actually lengthening the tip.

In your first reply to crin, you said you tried starting with a fresh TS4 folder already.  However, I wondered if you might try crin's "factory reset" steps which is a bit more detailed.  Be sure to follow all of the steps and let us know if the problem persists.

  • @JonaO703 Thanks a lot! : )
    I'm relieved that you see what I see. So, the way my male nose slider acts is definitely not normal, right? (Btw. Being able to make the nose that narrow/flat is just because I have a costum slider installed to show you the difference better.) BUT the custom slider has nothing to do with the problem. As I said, I removed all mods and started a brand new game with a brand new Sims 4 system folder, but nothing helped. Cache files are also cleared. And I tried Crin's complete Troubleshooting already the day before yesterday, but the problem persists. I really don't know why. Windows and its drivers are up to date. Graphic Card is up to date. I repaired the game via Origin twice. Problem persists.

    @SimsNateia   That is very strange indeed and no, from what I saw in your video, the slider's behavior is not normal.  Since the reset and repair options didn't work, the only other thing I can think of is perhaps competely reinstalling the game.  First, move your Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder to the desktop or some other location so that you keep all your saves, tray files, etc.  Then uninstall the game through Origin and reinstall it.  Launch and test the game without adding anything to it and let us know if the sliders are working properly or not. 

  • @JonaO703  You know what? My slider problem is/was really ridiculous compared to all the stuff that happens in the world/in real life, but ....
    .... Yippee, your advice worked, Jona, it worked. A complete reinstall of the game and its expansions solved the problem. :D Seems the game was just confused and needed a complete new beginning. Thank you sooo much for the advice. Just hadn't thought of reeinstalling.

    Really, really appreciate your time and effort.

    I will push the button "Accept as Solution" after you've read my reply. : )

    @SimsNateia    Hooray!  I'm so glad that you got it working.  It might seem ridiculous to some but I completely understand.  For me, this game is an escape from all the real world stuff and it's really frustrating when things aren't working properly. :-)

    Now, if you moved your original TS4 folder out, you may want to try moving your saves and tray files into the new folder.  Just be aware that some of it may have been corrupted by whatever caused the problem in the first place and adding those back in just might recreate the problem so keep that in mind.  Happy Simming! :-)

  • @JonaO703  Thank you so much for your words. Your're so right. Sims is an escape. And when the escape is not working it's very frustrating indeed. I'm glad you understand that. : )

    I will absolutely keep in mind what you've wrote and be aware of potential problems when moving saved files back. I'll do that step by step, just in case something is really corrupted.

    Thanks a lot, Jona! It's wonderful to see that there are still friendly and helpful people out there. : )
    All the best and Happy Simming!

    PS: I will not forget to hit the Solution button, promised! :D
