Hello everyone,
Does anyone has a weird bug where every chubby/fat character I add to contact list reverts back to stick figure? I tried changing characters manually also, it's all ok until i do anything in the game then reverts after just one action. It's like a couple of morphs don't save. I used a couple of mods, but even if i removed them the bug was still there. Not like I miss fat characters, but who knows how many more morphs are not saving what you can't really tell at first glance. Any ideas what can cause that?
I've only seen that happen when I have the fat morphs set at 0. It's like the game first generates them with the fat morph and then realizes the mistake and removes it. And I've only seen it with the fat morphs others don't seem to have that happen or at least I haven't seen it.
Only time I've seen stuff like this happen is when a save gets corrupted. Unfortunately, the saves corrupt very easily for this game and the corruption has a tendency to spread to other save files. I most commonly see this after using a npc manager. I'm not sure why or even know if the npc manager is truly the cause, but it's common this happens after I use them. Try modding the appearance of other characters. Do the changes stick? If so, it could be what Armanadus stated, the game correcting itself. But if changes are not sticking for
any characters, then you definitely have a corruption issue and need to cut your loses.
I'd recommend save/exporting any characters you wish to keep (you can import them later on a new game safely from your contacts menu with "Add Relative" or "Add NPC") by going to each character's "Edit Appearance" and saving in the top left corner of the screen. You can even save their stats. Avoid using a / in the name as that will create a new folder in "Modules" named whatever comes
before the / and the file name will become whatever comes
after the /.
After that,
delete the saves folder in LifePlay/Content/Saves. Then, set the computer you are playing on to show you hidden files. Delete the "savegames" folder from C:/Users/(owner name)/AppData/Local/LifePlay/Saved. That'll act as a hard reset for LifePlay.
