Title: Facial Structures Gone Just Black Space Post by: gamerxgirl on December 15, 2007, 04:00:03 pm (http://www.insimenator.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=103988&stc=1&d=1197752323)
My game was running just fine prior to a day or two ago, I thought it was simply one of those random game glitches, and I've been searching for one of the default replacement files that it may be. Instead of faces appearing, when I go to play a default sim, I get a blank/black empty space with eyes, eyebrows, but no facial structure. I installed default CAS face replacements (a long time ago, which I cannot locate), and I thought those might be the culprit but my game was fine before then, so I think it must be the combination of default replacement skin(s), default replacement eyes and the default replacement lashes I also installed perhaps. I removed the default lashes, but that doesn't seem to be it. I don't have any hacks that modify anything with the faces, could it be some sort of hack incompatibility? Even when in Body Shop and I try to click things, the black empty space is just there. Only when I click on a pre-made sim does it go away. It is as far as I know not a graphics card problem, but something related to a hack or corrupt file maybe? I'd really appreciate any help/suggestions so that I can go back to simming! :violent1: *attached image removed* Title: Facial Structures Gone Just Black Space Post by: Mr Heartache on December 15, 2007, 04:15:41 pm It could be a skin glitch, you might have to install new default replacement, or hmm, i dunno. Did you try fixing it by clicking on a mirror and going to 'change appearence'? It's happened to me, but the face was flashing blue, and the mirror fixed it.
Sorry I'm not more help D: Title: Facial Structures Gone Just Black Space Post by: gamerxgirl on December 15, 2007, 04:18:23 pm I tried but it didn't seem to work, and the faces don't show up in Body Shop. I don't think its the skintones because I'm able to change them in BodyShop. Thanks though for your help.
Title: Facial Structures Gone Just Black Space Post by: Mr Heartache on December 15, 2007, 04:29:10 pm No problem. I'd suggest to doing a search in your downloads folder, and removing your replacement faces then, because you could actually have more than one copy of them in there. That's all I can think of that could be doing it, or even maybe more than one default replacement skins! It'd be worth knowing doing a search just to check!

Title: Facial Structures Gone Just Black Space Post by: gamerxgirl on December 17, 2007, 01:34:47 pm I think I figured out the problem, it wasn't lights at all. That thread says the opposite of the problem I pictured/described, their faces weren't black but the rest of the sim was.
I believe the probem I had is somehow related to having both default skins and the eyes that I recently downloaded. Perhaps they were incompatible. It took me a very long time to locate them through Clean Installer, de to the large amount of files I have. Thanks though for your help.

You can have default replacement eyes and skins together, so long as you only have one of each.

I have only ever had one default eye replacement set, and only one default skin set though at a time. |
