Title: Floating disembodied head. Post by: sanmonroe on 2006 October 29, 19:14:33 I am getting floating heads of dormies in uni. Didn't have time to troubleshoot before I had to leave this morning.
Basicly, several male sims are just heads. When I took control of them and tried to change their clothes (bought new ones, used boolprop, used fishy clothes stack, used dresser, etc). They had no options to change casual clothes even after buying new ones. Nothing was changed from the last time I played and all was well. They do have a naked, a swimsuit, and a formal outfit/body. I believe I only have awesome hacks. Anyone have any ideas? Otherwise I will play with it tonight. Title: Re: Floating disembodied head.

Title: Re: Floating disembodied head. Post by: Theo on 2006 October 30, 11:08:14 You can't buy clothes for the townies - even when you control them - unless they are part of the household. You'll have to move them in, buy the clothes, change clothes, and move them out.
The alternative is to use Christianlov's clothing rack (http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=108057), which automates this procedure. As for the invisible body, it can be caused by deleting custom clothes, but townies shouldn't wear custom clothes to start with! ??? Title: Re: Floating disembodied head. Post by: sanmonroe on 2006 October 30, 13:10:41 Lots of the game clothes were missing. I loaded CAS and the last 2 pages of male and female clothes were just empty blue boxes.
I played around with all of it and just decided, fuck it, and reinstalled. I haven't reinstalled since Uni, so it was probably time anyway. Works now. The only question is, what did it? New bug with pets? Title: Re: Floating disembodied head. Post by: Theo on 2006 October 30, 14:20:05 Deleting files from the Sims3D and Skins folders can cause that effect. :o
Did that happen after installing Pests? Title: Re: Floating disembodied head.

You'll have to move them in, buy the clothes, change clothes, and move them out. You can get townies to permanently change clothes without any hacks at all if you have OFB. I had a clothing store and was trying to make a sale and went to a townie and ... I don't remember what the choice was, but it was something like "influence to buy new clothes" or something... Anyway this was way back before I had any real hacks in my game to speak of and the townie allowed me to pick out a new outfit for him and then he wore that all the time instead of what he used to wear.

And it happened a week after pets. Although it was the first time since installing pets that I went to Uni, and thats where the pics were all missing. Title: Re: Floating disembodied head. Post by: Flamingo on 2006 October 30, 21:59:07 I don't know what's causing this for you, Sanmonroe, but I do know that I get the same problem when my Sims get naked to take a shower, or are naked for any other reason.

And forgive my insistence, but I have to be prepared before I install this EP ;) You can get townies to permanently change clothes without any hacks at all if you have OFB.

Thanks for the tip, it's nice to know what to do when the hackity hack goes crackity crack! ;D Title: Re: Floating disembodied head. Post by: sanmonroe on 2006 October 31, 12:17:20 Nope, no default replacements for any clothes at all.
Only awesome hacks/mods and a folder of clothes DLed and used since before Uni was released. Title: Re: Floating disembodied head.

I used to do this with townies. But, after Pets, they don't change clothes anymore. That is a pity because I really liked this feature. I can still choose the outfit, and when they pay for it they do that jumping/turning movement to change clothes but nothing happens - they're still wearing their nasty one. And that's happening to my playable sims too. I choose the outfit for them to buy, they buy it and, afterwards, when I go to check the new clothes in their wardrobe, there's nothing there. Well, it would be nice to have this feature back... |
