Actor Career Styling Fix

by deadlystingnyc

If your actor Sims keep getting stuck in the makeup chair during gigs and never make it to hair styling, you've found the right mod. Actor Career Styling Fix patches the broken continuation that causes this and replaces it with a reliable script-driven transition that actually works.

Why You Need This

During acting gigs, Sims are supposed to visit a makeup chair for both makeup and hair styling before heading to the performance. A bug in the vanilla continuation system locks the interaction after makeup completes, the hair styling phase never starts, and Sims eventually abandon the chair and fail to prepare for the gig entirely. It's been a known issue with no official fix (yet). This mod fixes it.

How It Works

The mod fixes the posture incompatibility which terminates the acting career makeup and hair styling event chain prematurely.
