Missing body parts in Sims 4 is a glitch that occurs more frequently than you might think. At first sight, this is quite funny. Imagine your Sims strolling around with a missing hand or arm.
The bad news is that the missing limbs can affect the actions your Sims can take. After a while, the problem becomes quite annoying and you need to fix it.
This issue can occur randomly and sometimes restarting the game fixes it. But the problem often comes back after a while. Of course, you can use the same temporary workaround or look for a permanent fix.
Well, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll explore why some body parts and limbs are missing in Sims 4. We’ll also list a series of potential fixes for this problem.
Why Are My Sim’s Body Parts Missing?
If certain body parts of your Sim are missing (hand, arm, leg, torso, etc), this indicated that you have a piece of CC but not the original mesh for it. Think of the mesh as the original piece used for the creation of the respective CC item.
If the CC creators used an EA clothing item and edited it into a piece of clothing or changed its color but you don’t have the original pack, this could cause some body parts to simply vanish.
By the way, broken CC files and missing meshes can also cause white and red question marks to appear all over your Sim’s body.
What to Do if Your Sim Doesn’t Have All of Their Body Parts
The quickest solution to fix missing body parts in The Sims 4 is to disable your mods and CC by moving the Mods folder to your desktop. You can then bring back your mods and CC files one by one to identify the culprit. Once you’ve done that you can either update the problematic mod or CC file or install it again.
If the problem persists, you can try to run the game without mods and CC.
Another solution is to set the height slider to normal height and then switch it back to what it was before.
You can then clear the cache and repair the game.
Hope something helps.
