Don't think so. I tested, and it's working without any issues.

Beards are disappearing when I travel from one lot to another after the EP Snowy Escape. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Thanks for replying. Whoever tested this may have jumped the gun. Looks like we will have to wait for an update.

The disappearing beard used to happen in an early unreleased version of the mod. Looks like it's back. CAS items attached to buffs vanish when the buff vanishes and sims get "cleaned" sometimes when traveling. I have a kind of reset that should trigger, guess it stopped triggering. I'll look into it tomorrow.

So I've done some testing today and everything is still working fine for me with automatic beards. They keep beards when traveling, growth works, trimming, and shaving. I've had a few people report issues, but can't replicate any of the issues. I'm not sure what the cause could be other than conflicting mods. If you're having issues still let me know and maybe we can narrow down some details.

Excuse me, will this mod be updated sometime? I really would love to be able to use it but it has some bugs that prevent you from enjoying the gameplay.
We would appreciate it very much ♥ this mod really gives a lot of realism to the game especially to male sims.

This must be some kind of conflict occurring due to the latest EP. I have far too many mods to figure this out. Perhaps someone with less mods could find the conflict and post the mod here? My mods folder is 39GB. I have a hard time updating everything every new pack and it would be like a needle in a haystack to find a conflict.

Thank you flerb for attempting to update the mod for us. Sorry to have wasted your time on a mod that is not broken.

Bugs with mod
Hello, this mod is amazing and gives the game more realism. Unfortunately, it is a bit buggy for me. When getting to the 5th beard stage, all of my Sims become red/white/black. Not only the beard but the whole sim is messed up. I don't use any other mods. Does anyone know what causes this problem?

When my sims beard starts to grow, it changes their skin to that red and white checkered pattern with the red eyes, and when I shave it goes away. might have broken with the skin tones update maybe? I have the xml injector and I do have other mods but they are all the same mods I had before when it worked fine.. the only change is the updated game itself.

That red-white checker pattern has something to do with not having one of the DLC packs (it's a missing texture). I'm not sure which one and can't replicate the problem. Some of the beards have a geometry which changes the shape of the face (like big beards) and that doesn't seem to work in some people's games. Long ago I cloned some beards to get around that problem which seemed to work for most people, but there's def still a missing item like a texture being referenced as you're not alone reporting this issue. Like finding a needle in a haystack I'm afraid.

Hi flerb, thank you for the fantastic mod. It adds a ton of enjoyment to my experience. I do have a question/request - I find the normal lifespan beard growth to be too fast but find it to be too big of a jump to go from 3 days to 12.5 days and I wish there was an option right in the middle of those, say 8 days.

I have no experience with modding but wanted to try to figure it out myself without bugging you. I used s4pe to look at the modifier/addon _XML files and I can kind of parse it out, but not really. I see the decay rate modifier and that makes some amount of sense but the progression of numbers used (ie, <T n="value">40</T>) make absolutely no sense to me. I'm willing to do the legwork myself if you could be so kind as to point me in the right direction of how to interpret and modify these numbers to achieve what I want, or if you think it would be easier to just do it yourself, if you find the time and can make a median option like 8 days that would be great. Perhaps some other folks would like that too.

Thanks!

This mod is great, however, after a certain stage, the person becomes a white and red checkered-pattern. I read about there may have been a fix. Can you maybe look into it?

I love this mod but when I select the trim to stubble, sometimes it shaves their face. The trim to stubble animation is fine but it makes my sim clean shaved. So I'm assuming it might need a little update otherwise it works pretty smooth and seems like a pretty well-made mod.

I love this mod, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was wondering if it is possible for the purposes of playing Trans and genderfluid sims, can you make this available for female sims? and not use a makeup slot for the beards? I know this is a lot to ask, I will be more than happy to support your patreon for development. If not, thank you again for what have already given us. I can't even imagine how much work must go into something like this.

nice! been looking for this - huge leap from 3 to 12 days though. if there could be a flavour for less, that'd be great lol
also, as a request, could you also add a "baby face" buff when the sim shaves their face? (random female sims would have a hidden trait for what beard size they have a preference towards; it would give them an attraction boost to the male sim if they has a babyface. it would also give them a small happy or confident boost to help a little.)

Hi. Today new patch released to the game, and I have some issues. When I shave my sim face, after the beard still there, until I change my sim clothes. Could you please look into this?

Nothing more satisfying to see my sim growing his full beard just to shave it all right off again
Thank you!

I just tested it with the new update. seems to work fine. all animations still work! The only thing I noticed, is the shaver no longer makes the buzzing sound, not sure if that is a bug or if it was removed intentionally by Mod Creator.

I've noticed the shaver sound has been missing for a while.

Hi I am having issues with this mod. After a certain beard level my sim turns white and red. In your update notes you address this but it is still an issue for me. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Same here, after reaching one of the middle beard-stages, my sims skin turns into the red/white block texture and trying to have him shave it gets him permanently stuck in the "shaving" action, unless I shift-click him and use the reset debug option (debugging does not restore the proper textures, only removes him from the "shaving" action).
