White lines going through sims' hair

Post by NapaValley » October 7th, 2021, 11:10 pm

Hello all, it's been a while.

Recently when I play my game, two sims I play with have white lines going through their hair (shown here; it's more apparent in their icons). They currently wear non-CC hair, and it continues to appear even when I change their hair. As far as I'm aware, they're the only ones affected. What can be done to fix it?

I have seen that too, and those lines are particulary bad on a hair I really love. I use it anyway and edit out the nasty lines in Photoshop Elements on screenshots. I'm not 100% sure what they are, but I suspect they could be edges of some polygons the meshes are made of.

I think I fixed it. I simply saved an "uncorrupted" model of the characters from an early save (Always make backups, kids!) and replaced them in CAS. Now the hair doesn't have that problem.

I want to give a final update. After some troubleshooting, it turns out the real cause was from this wedding ring. My older sim models didn't wear it, which is why I thought it was because the new ones got corrupted somehow. My guess is there is too many polygons in it, causing the meshing conflicts Cororon previously mentioned.
