@useh777 I found this hair in CAS that looks like the one in your picture. It is base game and in the feminine category, which is easily accessible for use for every sim, by clicking the X next to the category name, at the top of all the pictures of hairs.
Hair in CAS:
Hair on boy toddler in game, trying to replicate your angle. Graphics Quality: Custom/Ultra, no problem zooming out.
Changed to Graphics Quality: Low, per advise. Both toddlers have bald spots when zooming out:
What graphics quality/settings do you have? Could it be the same hair?

I've noticed the exact same thing in my game. My graphics settings are set to medium for everything. Reflections are off and View distance is high.Uncompressed sims, Post processing and laptop mode are also off.

@Faith01am Are your graphic settings the same as the others? I could replicate it on medium as well (as detailed described in the previous post).

I've just tested, and I've found that this bug does happen on high and does not happen on ultra.

This happens for me with most of the new hairstyles that were added to base game in that big patch. At different zoom points (all the way in is one that comes to mind), there is a bald spot. I have an old computer, so I can't use high graphics.

I have noticed it with all the new toddler hairstyles. Both boys and girls.

I have notice that as well on adult sims male with some hairstyle, for intance a short hairstyle from City Living, when I zoomed out I could see the color of his head.
