Why does my sim have pictures for a hat?

What on earth is going on with my sim? The picture frames appeared suddenly after a couple of sim days of play. I've tried changing the hair from the custom hair shown to Maxis hair--no change.

I have the base game + all EPs, no stuff packs.

Has anyone else seen this?

In order to better solve your problem, please go through the following as listed below:

General - Do the Game Problem FAQ
You appear to have not gone through our main Game Help:Game Problem FAQ. Please go through and do the steps on this FAQ, including any others that it links to (for example the Game Help:Game Problem-Problem Custom Content FAQ).

Usually, in the vast majority of cases, actually going through and doing the steps (doing, not just reading) fixes issues - sometimes you may be asked to remove custom content, or to patch - please rest assured that all of our FAQs have been tested by our staff and volunteers and we wouldn't suggest you do something unless it's been known to fix particular issues.



On occasion you might be asked to do a long FAQ - please make sure you do all the steps and don't just skip over them. You'll often find that these long FAQs have all the details you need. If nothing in the above FAQs fixes your problem you may post again detailing exactly which you have done and which steps failed.

Yep, I'd done all of that before posting my question. No worries, though. My google-fu finally worked and I found the solution. Thanks!

What was the solution?

From here (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081017000446AAJlEcd)--she gave three options for fixing the problem, but the one that worked for me was:

[...] another thing you can try instead is, open the cheat box again, but this time type:

moveobjects on OR move_objects on (depends on your computer, some people can type it the first way but other people have to type it the second way)

Now go into buy or build mode and click on the hand like you were going to pick something up. Pick up the [sim] and delete it.

Now open the cheat box back up and type:

movobjects off OR move_objects off

Now you must SAVE the game or this won't work.

Exit the lot to the neighborhood view. Now go back into that same lot. Your [sim] should be out by the mailbox and it should be fixed.
