faceless sims

[cwykes]

The two alien teens I posted about didin't have anything in their inventory - in fact they didn't even have inventories when it first happened in base game only.  They couldn't have drunk any coffee/expresso because they had just aged.  I have no idea what the hygiene state was when they aged.  If I play them again I'll check that for completeness, but do they get zits within 1 hour of agining if they had low hygiene as a child?   I don't have insim in my game.  I think I DL'd it once a long time ago, read more about it and took it out pretty quickly.  It wasn't in game when the problem happened.  I shouldn't think I used any aging cheats the first time it happened - I hadn't learned anything about anything then.  When I was testing this time, they grew up normally without the cake and turned faceless.  I then tested using set to birthday and grow up. 

I assumed the "default" face you get in the mirror was just whatever sado-random thing the game decided to choose.   I suppose it might belong to some other sim in the game which might be a clue to what is going on - I didn't recognise it though.
