HI @AutumnSexyPantss

 

sounds like a mod conflict

 

Are you using any UI Mods in your game ? If so, make sure they are updated to your current patch level or remove.

 

If not, please move all your mods/cc and see if it goes away.

Yah, I updated 2 of them, got rid of the rest. Still nothing.
I hope it doesn't have to do with the furniture/clothing/makeup CC I have.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Hi again, so0 I actually tried and made a backup sims. Deleted the folder mods off my computer and put them back, even from my one drive.

So now everything looks good on my Sims game (some of the women are walking around bald). 

BUT now when I tried to put some of the mods back and enable CC, they are not showing up.

 

-Just Confused

Hi @AutumnSexyPantss

 

check if you put them in the correct folder.

 

Here's how you can find out which folder the game is using: https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

Thank you so much for your help, it was the UI Extensions mod that was causing all the problems.<3
