How do you change sim hair?
« on: June 26, 2011, 04:13:50 PM »
I just had a baby age up to a toddler and I don't like their hair.

How do I change it?

When I go to plan outfit it does just that lol plans his outfits but I really want to change his hair.

Sorry for stupid question I am new to all this.

Hi, Welcome to the forum!

All you need to do is click on a mirror and press "Change Hair" It will then take you back into create-a-sim, but only the option for hair and Make-up will show up :)

Happy Simming!

What you want is to click on a mirror (toddlers can even use wall mirrors!) and I believe the option reads "Change Appearance" or something similar. This will take your Sim into CAS with options to change their hair.

Candy got here before I did. ;)

Other than that, just Shift+Click on her, select Edit In Create-A-Sim. Faster, as well as allows access to other CAS features. ;D

Sure, but in all seriousness, for any Sim under your control, it's just as easy to send them to a mirror for a simple hairstyle change. Cheats are often off-limits or have negative side effects. I've read on this forum that the edit-in-CAS cheat resets a Sim's age, so that is something to keep in mind.

EDIT: Also, don't you have to turn testingcheats on first? These kind of cheats can be intimidating and dangerous for a new Simmer to mess around with in a game file they enjoy playing.

Well, I personally never had a single problem with Edit in CAS. And yes, it does require testing cheats to be enabled. I was just saying, sorry.

No worries, Chronic.  Your post was just a little misleading without the testingcheatsenabled information.
