CAS Leprosy: WTF is this? (With illustration!)
Count Four:
Okay, this is a new one on me. Last night, I went into CAS to make a new victim sim and found that, in CAS, all sims displayed with a funny blue-grey blotch on the right side of their foreheads (picture below).
This blotch did not appear on any previously existing sim on any lot during game play. Only in CAS.
No, I did not attempt to add a blotched CAS sim to the neighborhood. I thought it might be a good idea to get an opinion from someone who knows more about this kind of stuff than I do first. CAS seemed to work fine in all other respects--I tried out various hair, clothes and accessories on the blotchy sims and they changed like nothing was wrong. This blotch appeared on Maxis default skins. I didn't (damn it) think to look at sims in CC skins; I've only got a half-dozen or so CC skins. The only thing CC I've installed between previous use of CAS and last night were things from here, and those didn't include any skins.
EDIT: For better image, more info.
I just checked (also a first, never run Sims 2 while online at the same time before ;D). It shows up on CC skins, all ages, always in the same spot.
Gwill:
At first glance it appears to be a mesh gap, but those are usually caused by badly made hair meshes...
Does it just happen in this preview, or in CAS in general?
Count Four:
It shows up with all skins, all hair, all everything...
I'm stumped. I don't know how a custom anything could do this to every sim displayed in CAS.
If it'll help, I'll do a backup and then try adding a blotched sim to a neighborhood, see what happens.
Edit again: I'm going to go experiment. I'll try CAS with CC removed. I'll also check to see if this appears in BodyShop and if nothing else, do the backup and add a blotched sim to a neighborhood. I'll report back later.
Gwill:
It is a mesh gap of some kind, but I can't understand which mesh, or how it's got messed up.
Let us know how it looks without CC. Unless you've downloaded any mesh replacements lately, I'm guessing corrupt game files (possibly objects.package); but I seem to be chanting that a lot lately.
jrd:
Of course you are, it is extremely common. Mine gets corrupted by itself it seems. Marking as readonly does not appear to help -- I've now taken away my account rights to write in the TS2 install folders in a hope that this will secure it.
