This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, Nightlife, Seasons, Free Time
Default Nightlife messing up my custom hair :/ Help Please!
Hey guys!
Well I just got Nightlife yesterday and while playing it I realized something, the hair for my Sims are going out of wack.

The image isn't all that great, sorry -_-, but anyhow, when my Sims move (it only happens with the girls) their heads, the bottom half of the hair stays while all of it turns and long lines follow it. It's kind of hard to explain.

It happened just as soon as I got Nightlife. Does anyone know how to fix this? I thought about patching the game but when I installed NL the game said it didn't need patching and I don't want to patch it for no reason. It wouldn't bother me that much but since I want to make a movie . . . the whole hair thing is a distraction!

Is it just custom hair that does this? What about EA hair?

It happens with custom hair that is long, like up to the bust of the female sim or below the bust as well as with long maxis hair as well. I haven't had, or remember having this problem with University. I've uninstalled all the games including the base game and installed them again along with the patches but the problem is still happening. It also doesn't matter where I get the hair from, Peggy Zone, XM Sims, etc. it still does the same thing.

Here are my specs :D

It's just the way hair is built, usually. It either does that or it goes through the sim. I've had this issue in all game configs I've had.

Seriously? :/ That kind of sucks, but I think I can get over it.
Thank you!

I just wanted to update and say that I found a solution! I set the game graphics to high and changed a few other options in the options panel and now the hair works perfect and my Sims look ten thousand times better!
