Every time I play an actor the hair and make-up chair doesn't change my sim's appeance at all. The hair and make-up stays default, but the gig can be played as usual.

Unfortunately i think this was done on purpose as I look at he coding. Certain hair textures and styles are not available depending on skin tones. In the coding it instructs not to use on light skin tones, medium, and dark depending on what style so it just uses the default sim style. I think it is to prevent clashing. I am in the process of removing all of these blocks and hopefully i will be able to create a mod that gets rid of this.
I have it too
Confirming, changing skin tone to one of those highlighted by Lucy_Godwing worked.
No idea if this is a new bug or whether I have always been lucky with skin tone.
How is this still an issue?
I don't really think its a fair solution to just accept that some skintones don't work with this career
Isn’t that just how Hollywood works? Unintended realism! /j
Lucy_Godwing Wow! These images are a godsend. They must have been tough to research. Gonna save this, in case I make another Sim for this career.
I'm late to this post but this issue still hasn't been fixed and I don't really think its a fair solution to just accept that some skintones don't work with this career. I really hope the Sims team fixes this cuz it really ruins the immersion of some acting gigs.
Because I can't seem to access the archive anymore, here's the list of skin colors that seemed to work for me (I used a spellcaster, haven't checked since then): Green works, red doesn't.
I have the same complaint....still.
I love playing the actor career, however when my sim goes to change makeup and hair nothing changes. I know this complaint has been out for a while and I still haven't found a solution to this issue.
