Maxis Broke the Pescado Beard in Black
Lorelei:
If I understand correctly, she is not disputing SimPes' haircolour, which is grey or brown depending on which Pes you have at which age, but noting that the Pes Sim is wearing a brown beard of a particular style that does not show up when she wants the same beard on a new Sim, not in black, blonde, grey, or red, but in black.
IOW, the Pescado Sim-style Beard -- in the colour black -- is broken. The black version of the beard is PHAIL.

He's supposed to have black hair? Gah. I just switched him from blond to dark brown, no beard just yet, when he turned teen due to the fact that he went bald on transition.
Sorry about that, Lorelei -- I was unclear :) I was answering Zazazu (quoted), who was wondering about the color (for her Monopoly neighborhood). I got the part about the black Pescado-style beard being borked ;)

magicmoon,
Test this out & see if it fixes it for you. For some reason the black beard already shows up for me so I don;t know if this will work or not. If it does I'll delete it & post the fix in Peasantry - but - let me know, ok?

No, no, my fault; I was doing six things at once, skimmed the thread in a hurry, and misinterpreted the question being asked! Oops!

Morague,
Thank you so much. I tested this in a clean game. The beard in black is now showing up for both Adults and YAs, although it has the custom * icon.
The problem remains however, that when the Sim is aged to adult, the beard remains the same color. You get gray hair with a red beard, for example. This happens with all 4 of the beard colors. Actually, in my testing, I could get the beard to occasionally turn gray. (about 1 out of 10 times) but then when I de-aged the Sim back to adult, the beard remained gray and just the hair color would change. All of the other beards properly turn gray when the Sim is aged, and revert back to their original color when de-aged back to adult.
When I color bin hair, I found that all 4 colors plus gray have to have the same GUID for it to work properly when the Sim ages, as well as remain the same style when switching to a different color. Is it possible that they messed that up somehow and it is no longer familied properly? I've downloaded some pretty messed up hairstyles before but have never seen anything behave non-consistently like this.
At any rate, if you don't want to do any more work on this, we at least have our black beard back. ;D However I suspect that when the Sim turns elder we will have to go to a mirror to get the beard to be gray. I haven't tested that part yet, all these tests so far were done in CAS.
Thank you for working on this problem, especially since you don't have the problem in your own game. Which reminds me, I'd like to know the difference between those who are having the beard problem and those who don't. Do the people who don't have the beard problem have some sort of stuff packs installed? Or are they the European versions? I have only the EPs. My signature is currently correct, and I am using the American version.
