[xfattycattyx]

Playing Sims 4 on Mac. Can't change the colours of hair/clothes/anything on create a sim, both CC and regular Sims items. The colour boxes for hair have a coloured outline but are white on the inside. As for clothes, no colour options show up. Please help bro

I'm having the same issue after High School Years was installed. This is what I'm dreading the most since I have so much CC. I don't want to go through it all

hi, if you have the mid where you get extra columns in your game make sure to get rid of it as it might be causing that. I just took mine off and my game ks back to normal!!

I'm having this same problem. I thought it was because of a cc i downloaded but i deleted the said cc and uninstalled it, still didn't change anything. I Uninstalled my whole game but its still the same. Odk what to do

Alright so i had the same problem and managed to find the mod that was causing it. It was the more CAS columns mod. So if you have that mod I suggest uninstalling it to see if it fixes your problem!

I can't change the hair and skin color of my sim, same with makeup and clothes. It was working the last time I played it but when I downloaded some CCs and opened the game it wouldn't work anymore. I tried getting rid of the new CCs I downloaded but it still didn't work. Please help!

Hi @6799g8nn0025 you need to find the broken cc or mod that created the problem remove it, & then repair your game.

There is also the sims 4 studio, which has batch fixes for many pack updates, and instructions on how to use it. Once you've installed S4S, it will go through all folders fixing both hairs and makeup, (different batch fixes) in surprisingly quick time. It fixes the sliders and so on, however, if you still experience problems, you'll still need to find the broken mod or cc.

• Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the  50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it

• Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,

• Also the EA Forums do a regular post for broken mods / cc, & maintained by LuthienRising.

  I'd recommend the 50/50 or cull method to find any broken mods

  
  

  • Remove the mods from your folder to the desktop

  • Delete your localthumbcache file found in your TS4 folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4]

  • Repair game, by right-clicking the cog near 'play'

  • Run the game, to see if it runs ok, now without any mods/cc

  • note: use a vanilla / new game for this process, don't run your old one

  • Now, if all went well, try transferring one cc folder at a time.This helps narrow down which is broken.

  • Trying the game each time, you do the process.. to see if it loads & plays as expected, without issues 

  • Before starting your game each time, also delete the localthumbcache file  from the sims 4 folder

  With each new patch, many mods are updated and will require checking up on them all..  More tips at my post here, here on maintaining your game, including more instructions on the 50/50 method.

 Hope this helps,

Sasha
