PIGTAILS BE GONE - FOR REAL THIS TIME

This is a tutorial how to fix hairstyles that have this glitch!

You might have seen my default replacement that battles this problem, but of course it doesn't actually fix the problem - it's just symptom relief. Well, I have good news, after some investigations I finally figured out what actually causes the pigtail glitch and how to fix it.

Please read further under the cut.

You might have noticed some EA hairstyles have a different naked hair set to them. For example, if your sim is wearing the base game beanie they would shower in a different hair. It doesn't work correctly, though, as sims would also age up in their 'naked' hairstyle.

This is the problem that causes the pigtail glitch. A lot of cc hairs are made in TSRW with the pigtail hair as a base (or another cc hair as a base that was cloned from the pigtails) and apparently TSRW doesn't unset the 'naked hair', so it still references the pigtails in the CASP. S3OC is a bit better with this, but also not 100% reliable. When the naked hair is the same for the normal hairstyle, it goes well. When it's a different hair though, it also doesn't unlink it and your sim will age up with the hair referenced there.

I can imagine some of you out there don't have a clue what I'm saying right now, so I'm going to show you how:

So, I've download a hair that I know for sure had the pigtail problem, because I noticed it had the pigtails in the lower lods when making a default out of it.

Open the package file in s3pe, locate the CASP, select it and click on grid.

CasPart1Index = Naked hair CasPart2Index = Previous age state hair

Locate CasPart1Index, under clothing category, select it and click on the drop down arrow. You can now see which resource key it references.

When I open the afHairMidPigtails package....

Surprise, surprise, it's the same resource key! This is why so many hairs age up to the pigtails.

Now, to fix this:

Back to the package file of the hair you want to fix. Right click the CASP and select Copy ResourceKey.

Select the CASP, click on Grid. Locate CasPart1Index again, but this time select the little black arrow next to the drop down menu.

Click Add

Select CASP at type

Paste the ResourceKey you've copied

Click save.

Click on CasPart1Index again, select the drop down menu and choose the CASP you just added. It should be the last one in the list. Click commit. Save the package file and voila!

If you want to be extra safe, you can also completely delete the pigtail ressource in this same menu you added the new one.

Now, it might also be good practice to immediately unset the previous age-state hair.

Locate CasPart2Index, click on the dropdown menu and choose the empty resourceKey, with all the zero's.

Unless of course you have a child version of this hair you want to link to it. Then do the same steps as above, but instead op copying the resource key of the CASP in the hair you want to link it to, copy the CASP of the child hair in the other package and add it to the hair you want to link it to in the same way as above.

This 100% fixes the hair if it has the pigtail disease! Yay!

I hate to write some random rant, but I really wish players would start boycotting The Sims 4.

Each new patch/DLC brings more and more glitches and bugs which developers refuse to fix or accidentally(?) create more bugs to fix some. Like for example right now there is a missing moodlets bug that corrupts some saves and because of this these must be deleted.

DLCs (mainly kits) are bland, almost empty, poor quality and expensive junk while modders create huge CC packs and mods that are high quality and most importantly free and also they fix the bugs that EA made.

Still, I feel sorry for console players who don't have the option to fix/improve the game unlike PC players and it makes the game unplayable due to broken patches.

Then players are reporting to EA who gives empty promises that they will fix it and later next DLC drop and it's same crap. It goes on and on in a never-stopping cycle.

And what's the worst, what annoys me the most? That some players want more content into game and EA wants TS4 to continue on even after Project Rene (The Sims 5) is released. It's a huge red flag since what a horrible state the game is in right now.

If you have TS4 as your comfort game and it helps improve your mood, please try to play either previous The Sims games like The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 or a completely different game. The possibilities are endless.

I'm saying this (even I'm just screaming into void) bcs I just don't understand when everyone says EA is one of the worst AAA video game companies, people still buy their games and DLCs which are unfinished and buggy.

#I apologize if I offended anyone with this rant #also EA is so much greedy rn that they added shopping cart icon into build/life mode; ewww #tamiisnthere's thought #I stopped updating my game since November 2022 and even though there are still some bugs but not that bad as right now #especially I was tired to downloading all the new updated mods since I have over 3000 files #I don't even play this game anymore #I'm just creating characters and ripping them thanks to TS4 SimRipper (Rest in Peace CmarNYC 💔) to import them into Blender and XPS #I really hope competitions like Paralives; Life by You; Vivaland and etc. will kick The Sims' and EA's asses #boycott the sims 4 #boycott ts4 #boycott ea games #boycott aaa games #the sims 4 #sims 4 #the sims #sims

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 3

I'm back and so is my alien family! Adam tries to teach Silas how to potty, Suzanna finishes her new garden and family day (because not everyone has mothers or fathers in my save, just like the real world) comes with ups and downs.

Nicknames Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight Adam is Pops or My Heart Silas is Starshine Pollock is Pol or Moondust

Suzanna gets started on the mammoth task of planting the new garden. There’s a lot to set up, including the most recent plants from the visit to Sixam. Unfortunately it would appear that we don’t have any loose UFO’s so can’t replant that one. Silas initially comes to help, but his only option is talking to the plants not playing in them. Boring! He pretends to cook for a while before channeling his Pops and creating another painted masterpiece.

Inside Adam gets Pollock ready for bed. Following some nice milk, Pollock burps without spitting, making Adam very happy. That is short lived however as the diaper change is a putrid horror (Come on EA, why doesn’t my squeamish sim get a negative moodlet when he has to change diapers[hold up he does eventually just not this time]). Once clean, Adam gets Pollock settled in his crib and plays the traditional lullaby in this house, twinkle twinkle.

Silas: *singing* we drop some blue over here, then splash some yellow yellow yellow

Adam: What are you doing

Suzanna: He’s being an artist, just like his Pops

Silas: I make pretty like Pops does, see Pops?

Adam: What a clever little man. And you remembered to do it outside! Good job

Silas: Pops think it good? Do I get 5 stars?

Adam: I think it’s great. Five stars for sure *to Suzanna* I’m just going to try show him how to pee properly again before bed

Suzanna: *chuckles* rather you than me

Silas: Pops, why can mummy not show

Adam: Silas... Mummy and Pops have different parts. My pixel parts are like you and your brother. Mummy has different ones

Silas: Oh. Why Pops?

Adam: Biology questions are best left to your Mummy

Silas: Bi -olo -gee *laughs*

Adam: Now, are you watching how I do this

Silas: *puts on game face* Yes Pops

...

Adam: And of course… most important part is ALWAYS wash your hands afterwards

Silas: Why Pops?

Adam: What comes out of our pixel parts can have germs

Silas: Why Pops?

Adam: Umm... biology? We want to wash germs off before the germs end up in our mouths and make us sick. Washing our hands keeps us and our stuff clean

With encouragement from Adam, Silas does his potty business without getting puddles over the floor.

Silas: Pops… I can’t reach for hands

Adam: Would you like me to lift you up

Silas: YES! Then I clean like you

Following a splashy hand washing Adam holds Silas above the crib to say goodnight to a sleeping Pollock. Changing to pyjamas Adam makes sure Silas is snuggled in soundly, and wishes him happy dreams.

*Satellite Whirs*

Adam: Take that UFO aliens! No abducting us tonight!

Suzanna: Really Adam?

Adam: I’m just trying to keep the population safe

Suzanna: Sure

Adam: Are you ready to go to bed? Test drive the bed placement?

Suzanna: Almost. I have a bit more watering-

Adam: Go to bed, I can finish it

Of course Suzanna swings by the nursery to kiss her sons goodnight before heading upstairs. By the time Adam is finished an exhausted Suzanna is snoring softly.

Adam: *chuckles* I love you

Pollock unlocks sleeping through the night but is still awake at 4am. With nothing much to do he has some solo tummy time, unlocking the creep milestone! Glitches abound as Family Day only appears for the kids and Adam, not Suzanna? Then Pollock somehow calls Adam from a separate floor and resetting Adam plops Pollock onto the floor. Whoops. Realism? Never heard of her

Despite not being able to grab yet Pollock happily plays in the bookcase, causing a swirl of dust to kick up.

Silas: Pol you want to- Pol?

Pollock: *cooing wildly*

Silas: *laughs* I like to make mess to

Adam: Okay, who's making the noise

Pollock: *sucks thumb innocently*

Silas: Pops! *runs for hug*

Adam: Good morning son, happy family day

Silas: We get gifts?

Adam: Later on you do, and so do me and Mummy

Suzanna: Aren’t you a clever clogs, getting out of your crib with only the watcher’s help

Pollock: *coos*

Suzanna: Let’s have some milk. Then Mummy will have breakfast and we can try more food huh? How about that?

Pollock: *burps*

Silas: *singing* We like the pancakes. We like, we like the pancakes

Suzanna: Here we are, safe and sound

Pollock: *coos greetings at everyone*

Adam heads out for a run, happily undisguised today. He’s hoping not to get any funny looks.

Suzanna: Let’s try some… hmm.. Mango? We don’t even have mango in game! Oh well, what do I know

Pollock: *coos questioningly*

Suzanna: Don’t worry Moondust, Mummy’s just talking to the watcher. Okay, open wide for the spaceship

Today however Pollock is not in love with the offering, being unable to make up his mind about it. He decides to play with it instead.

Adam enjoys his run. Sure enough the few sims he passes don’t even bat an eye at a jogging alien.

Suzanna: Mummy just has to have a shower but she’ll be right back okay *blows raspberry*

Pollock: *laughs and bounces legs*

...

Outside Silas has returned to his artwork from last night. He adds more of the same colours and throws in some extra ones for fun.

Once Suzanna has cleaned up for the day she carries Pollock out to his playmat and begins to tend to the growing plants.

While Adam finishes off his run and goes to write his column for work, the rest of the family spend time in the fresh air. Pollock plays in the shade and grabs his toys all by himself! Silas meanwhile mans the food truck while Suzanna studies the plants. A hop, skip and a glitch later Pollock is off the playmat and scoots to the garden to play in the growing plants.

Silas busies himself at his kitchen again, wondering if he can make pancakes. In the end we have a... sticker covered rock.

Silas: I made pancake with choc chips

Suzanna: Oh yeah you did! Great job

Silas: It pretty just like mummy

Suzanna: Aww, thank you Starshine *snuggles* Now how about we... open some presents?

Silas: PRESENTS???

Suzanna: The watcher told me it’s family day (but of course there's the bug which means holidays are still only registering for 3 sims per household)

Let’s see what we have. Silas gets a child's doctor playset, good thing his birthday is approaching (seriously who set up that toddlers could get children's toys). Suzanna gets Phozone, which she already has a ton of. Adam gets… well whatever it was, it was so normal for sims I have already forgotten it (It was one of those bears holding a heart). Suzanna gets Pollock up from his nap and gets him in the bath. Like normal he’s fascinated with the bubbles, trying to blow them around as Suzanna cleans him up.

Adam: Pollock has almost finished in the bath. Shall we have a bath or a bubble bath

Silas: NO. Not want bath! Boring!

Adam: *tuts* I see the problem, I phrased it as a question. But too bad! You’re having a bath Silas

Silas: No Pops! NO! *foolishly runs away into the bathroom*

Adam: What the- Get back here you!

Suzanna: *sighs* Isn’t it good you can’t run Pollock, hmm? Shall we do a bedtime story?

Pollock: *coos*

...

Adam: Silas! I am extremely disappointed in you my son

Silas: Huh? What's dis ap... disappa...

Adam: Disappointed! It means you've made me feel sad and mad because I thought you were better than this kind of behaviour. You have a brain, use it

Adam: Personal hygiene is important! I told you this yesterday

Silas takes a moment to think about what Adam has said, then he gets mad.

Silas: No! Pops is wrong! I not need bath! I have no stink cloud. I still good behaved

Adam: It’s about avoiding the stink clouds Silas

Silas: *throws fit*

Adam: Stop it! Now you can take off those overalls, or I’ll take them off, but you best believe you are having a bath mister

Silas: NO

Adam: I guess we’re taking them off together then

Silas: *pouts* I dis pointed

Suzanna comes in to clean the changing table after reading Pollock to sleep and is amazed to find a happy Silas patting bubbles.

Suzanna: Adam? What… happened

Adam: Once he got in the hot water he *flinches* remembered he likes to splash. Memory of a bloody goldfish

Silas: *splashes wildly and sings* I splish splash, you splish splash, ducky splish splash

Suzanna: Here’s hoping he remembers that for next time

Adam grumbles to himself as he continues getting soaked by Silas. When the bath is finished Suzanna volunteers to take over and Adam storms out of the bathroom leaving a confused Silas to be dried off.

Silas: Mummy, why Pops dis pointed

Suzanna: *sighs* You were behaving badly Silas. Pops was trying to help you, it was rude to run away and throw a fit. He was just disappointed because he thinks you're very smart and very nice

Silas: I show Pops tomorrow, promise

After a rushed dinner and bedtime Suzanna goes in search of Adam and finds him painting upstairs (in my mind she's absolutely drinking some tea during this scene).

Suzanna: Hey you. How you doing after Silas...

Adam: *sighs* I'm better now. I painted my anger without smashing through the canvas, and now it seems I’m much more flirty. Watcher Starlight I was just... so... mad! Why couldn’t he just get in the damn bath when I asked? He likes baths!

Suzanna: Because he’s a toddler? Remember My Heart they don't have fully grown brains yet. We have to teach them how to do things. Unfortunately kids don't come with software telling them to do what their parents tell them

Adam: Yeah *sighs* I guess I’m just worried Starlight

Suzanna: About having a temper?

Adam: Sort of. I'm worried that one day I’ll get mad and flip out and they’ll hate me forever

Suzanna: I could flip out to you know

Adam: *scoffs* As if

Suzanna: I could! Every time I pick up Pol and he cries and hits me I get mad. He’s an infant, he can’t get places by himself. Of course I have to pick him up, he would die otherwise. Why does he have to be so bloody stubborn about it. It makes me feel like he hates me, like I'm a failure

Adam: You could never be a failure to me. But I am glad to hear it’s not just my hold he hates

Suzanna: *chuckles* Yeah he’s definitely not a snuggler. Maybe I should copy you and try painting my anger away

Adam: Painting, writing... The help me focus outside of myself

Suzanna: Hmm. I guess working on the garden gives me a similar feeling. It's as if- oh shoot

Adam: What?

Suzanna: I forgot to call in a day off for Silas' birthday, one sec

Adam: My wife voluntarily missing work? Next you'll say pigs can fly

Suzanna: I want to be here for Silas, and Pol. I know you don’t want more kids, heck you didn’t want these two, and I’m going to do my best to respect that. It just means I want to spend time with them while they still want to spend time with me

Adam: Hey... I’d like to spend some time with you *raises eyebrows*

Suzanna: *laughs* You’re such a dork

Adam: But you love me and I love you

Suzanna: Hmm, this is true

After woohoo the two fall asleep in each others arms, glad to have found each other on this small hunk of rock.

Native macOS Version

Pros:

Machine runs silently and with very little heat

Also consumes much less electricity (Like 40-60W)

No graphical glitches or weird stutters

Slightly shorter loading screens

Cons:

I have to redownload the Origin Patcher from Anadius every time Origin Updates

I also have to redownload the Patcher every time a new pack drops

I have to deal with Origin (and eventually the EA app when it releases)

For some reason, on the Mac version only, CAS dragging and rotating results in the cursor drifting to the right, making it difficult to make small changes.

Cracked Windows Version

Pros:

I don’t have to deal with Origin (or the EA app)

Using @anadius2’s Updater, I can get new DLCs and Updates with the click of a button

CAS cursor and rotation does what I want it to.

It’s MUCH easier to toggle DLC’s with Anadius’s DLC Toggler

Cons:

Computer Runs Louder and Hotter (The M1 iMac has two laptop blowers, so don’t think it’s like desktop tower levels of sound. Just a slightly irritating “sshhhhhhh.”)

Also draws more electricity (Like 80W)

Mirrors and Reflections are extremely broken. I either have to turn them off or deal with weird spasming shapes every time I see one.

Potential for weird and unexplained glitches and crashes.

Slightly longer loading screens

i think they must be either about to take a break or about to try and sell some new project (or both). there's no way this is a sustainable upload schedule

they are gonna sell another sim card.

in all seriousness, i agree, with this schedule they are gonna burn out pretty quickly. i get why they are literally forcing join content on us right now, though. Dan is trying to sell wad. this week he needs the audience more than money, i think. because he can "sell" these numbers while pitching wad dvd to companies aka show demand and etc. after the wad premiere (and merch stuff) there should be a drop in content. i fucking hope there will be. quantity doesn't mean quality, and right now everything is lacking in quality. i wish Dan could just focus on wad and control and check materials related to it. i wish dnp controlled the editing more. but they physically can't if they are working on multiple things at the same time.

wanna predict new projects, anon?

(dinok and dnp tour 2025/2026 don't count. i wish we had a travel show, for mr. ANOTHER travel book. and i'm still a Phil's comic book truther. i remember the glitch merch)

#dan will probably have to mention ywgttn paperback when/if it's out #so it also doesn't count #watch dan going on tour with some stand-up to promote dinok. like musicians are going on tours to promote albums #i need to think.#answered #youtube #dan is not okay #wad premiere #ladydoor tour

I finally worked up the nerve to load my game again and see the damage for myself.

My game auto-updated while I was at work on Tuesday (new computer, new EA app install). I didn’t even know about the face glitch initially, because I spent two hours in build mode on Tuesday evening and didn’t actually visit any of my sims. I only found out about the problem when I came on here afterwards.

Since I’d saved my build, and I figured the damage was already done anyway, I decided I should at least look at my sims and then quit without saving.

The state some of my sims are in just… makes me sad. Some are only mildly affected, and some are quite honestly disfigured. I’m not going to be doing anything else with the game until there’s a fix for this.

———

Also, to the people directly or indirectly shaming others for updating, stop it. Updates aren’t supposed to do damage this widespread, and they shouldn’t be so fraught and polarizing. Yes, we’ve seen serious breakages due to updates happening in the past, but telling people they “should know better” only adds to the problem. You don’t know what’s going on in every single person’s game. This update caught a lot of people off-guard, and if anyone should be shamed, it’s EA for not doing any quality testing before dropping this rude surprise on thousands of unsuspecting players.

It’s been far too long since Reed saw her mums, Esme and Zeta. Whilst she needs some financial support from them, she also wants to spend some time with them. Her mother, Esme, informs her that her mother, Zeta, is working today, but she’s welcome to come and visit regardless.

As soon as Reed hops off the ferry from the mainland to Windenburg Island, she sees her mum waving at her. Esme jogs forward and throws her arms around her daughter, hugging her tightly.

Reed: “Oof! H-hi Mum! I can’t breathe!”

Esme: “Reeeeeeee - give your ol’ Mum a break. She misses you terribly! How have you been since Sim Idol?”

It feels like a lifetime has passed in the week since Glitch and Reed dropped out of Sim Idol. Since then, Reed’s been house hunting and speaking with her landlord about moving out. Legally, Reed and Glitch have been cleared from their contract with Sim Idol. So, Reed’s as free as a bird to plan her next moves with her new band, The Fated Mates

Reed: “Good. I have a lot of updates for you, it seems.”

Once Esme pulls back, Reed launches into an explanation about everything that has happened since she dropped out of Sim Idol. Her living situation, her career plans, her new band and the sims she’s wanting to move in with…

Identidad Glitch (Glitch Identity) is a multidisciplinary performance in which Sabrina Rodríguez mixes butoh dance, physical theater, glitch art printed on textile fabrics, experimental ambient and noise music, and video reproduced on a LED screen mask. What happens when what we are collides with the expectations of a hyperconnected world? The Internet has connected us and given us a whole new world of possibilities, but in a society where each and every person is meant to be a simple and coherent personal brand, error is inevitable. The solution may be to assume and embody that error, to create something new, without limits; for we are much more than the sum of our parts. Initially premiered as the inaugural show in the contemporary art exhibition Manlleu Galeria d'Art: MGA9 (Manlleu, Barcelona, Spain, 2022), Identidad Glitch is a work in progress evolving with every new performance. Sabrina Rodríguez is a multidisciplinary artist and performer from Barcelona, Spain. Her work reflects on the mutually constructive nature between human identity and technology, through different media such as performing arts, video, experimental music or glitch art.

Goth Makeover Needs a Makeover

So the Goth makeover has dropped into The Sims 4, and my hunch that they made that new basegame hair for Bella was right.

Unfortunately, my hunch when I heard that only the Goths had been made over was also proven right: They didn’t bother with Likes/Dislikes, Relationships or Sentiments or whatever. Just the appearances of the Goths, which is very on brand for The Sims 4 (the width and prettiness of an ocean, but the depths of a mud puddle).

First things first: Alexander’s skintone shouldn’t have been changed. Only Bella’s and Cassandra’s should have been darkened. Also, he looks bad when aged up. Cassandra’s outfits are also pretty bad, as is her make up, and then there’s that pink lipgloss on one of the outfits that sticks out like a sore thumb. Mortimer is the best of the lot and he’s pretty bad (I hate his new mustache and he should be mostly dressed in black and have different outfits instead of doing the Vlad copypaste thing and...).

Then we have Bella’s boobs. People are praising Bella’s makeover because she has a thicker waist and smaller boobs, and thus a less cartoonish appearance, though the entire art style of the game is cartoonish.

Here’s the thing: I would praise them for her boob reduction if I believed they did it because Bella in the previous games didn’t have big bazoongas. But they didn’t.

They reduced Bella’s breasts simply because the dress they put her in has a (probably mesh) glitch that causes a jagged corner to poke out beneath the boobs when they are larger.

And yes, they put the most iconic sim in the franchise in that dress and didn’t fix the glitchy dress!

Stop and think about that for a minute before you praise them for making Bella “more realistic”. They literally did it so that they wouldn’t have to fix the effing dress.

And I know that because all my makeovers of Bella has put her in that dress, and every single time I have to reduce her boobs to make the glitch go away.

Also, Bella, Cassandra and Alexander’s skintones are soooo gray that I’m not entirely sure why they picked that particular hue given the common complaint about skintones in TS4 being gray and/or washed out.

#the sims 4 #ts4 #mortimer goth #bella goth #cassandra goth #alexander goth #rant #fix bella's dress you cowards!#maybe I'm gonna make my own basegame with get to work savegame #so that calientes can have alien ancestry #or I'll make a basegame save without calientes
