Early Access: Male Body Hair CAS Location
🕑 Added 2022-07-29 18:48:55 +0000 UTCThe most recent patch finally added official body hair, and with it, body hair slots in CAS. I'm updating my previously released body hair to use the body hair slots, instead of tattoos, for a better overall user experience.
Along with changing the slots, I also updated my body hair to include the six extra color swatches that Maxis added to the game (neutral black, warm brown, light brown, neutral blond, light blond and white blond).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) The body hair in the attached file is a standalone version, meaning it does NOT conflict with my previous tattoo version. This also means you will need to manually remove the body hair from existing sims and add this version if you want to make the switch to using the new slots.
I really didn't want to have to do it this way, because I wanted users to be able to just drop in a mod that changed the slot and kept all sims intact. But when I tested doing it this way, the game got confused and thought sims still had body hair tattoos and layered the new body hair over the old, causing a visual duplication of the hair.
(A faster way to remove the old body hair is to delete the tattoo version of the mod, which will remove it from all sims in the game. If you do this be prepared for the "create a sim items are missing" message, which you can ignore).
2) Body hair is enabled for random. This means it will show up on new sims the game generates. I don't know if the game will match up color by default - right now it seems to be defaulting the body hair to auburn, rather than matching to the sim's head hair. It also won't be able to tell if a wavy arm hair belongs with a wavy chest hair or a straight chest hair. You may need to manually change sims who you think look bad or wrong.
3) I haven't included any custom icons for this version, since the game generates automatic thumbnails that show off most of the body hair. I placed the butt hair in the back hair location, but that means the hair isn't visible in the game's auto thumbnails. If you're using a CAS default body part override, though, your sim should be naked while choosing body hair and you can see the butt hair styles by clicking on them.
4) Since there are limited body hair slots, I've merged the armpit hair into the arm hair styles. If there are enough users who want arm hair without armpit hair included, I may offer an alternate version of the arm hair.
5) I haven't tested this with new features like "hair growth" and shaving. I don't know enough about these features yet to know what impact they have, and whether there will be any compatibility issues. I'll try to do some testing and make any updates as necessary.
I think that's everything! I'll try to get the female version of this update posted soon.
There are no new body hair designs in this download, only an update for my existing designs. I'll be working on new designs in the future.

Hey! I need to create some kind of gender unlock file to make this available for male/fem-framed sims. I'll try to get it done soon.

Will this be added for male sims with a fem body?

Hey! It would be great to randomize body parts for sims, wouldn't it? Unfortunately if I applied the internal flag that randomizes body hair to the body parts, you'd start seeing sims walking around your worlds with a t-shirt and their penis out or wearing a pair of trousers with no shirt on. Not exactly ideal lol I believe WickedWhims has some options to set body parts for sims in Live Mode, but I haven't looked at them in a while so I don't recall exactly how robust those options are. If I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for, though, let me know in case it changes my answer!

I actually LOVE the random body hair feature on new generated Sims! I've been wanting this! Would it be possible to add this feature for the Simple penises and chests as well?
