Version Compatibility and Mod Notes
This Sim is designed to work across a broad range of The Sims 4 versions, from older builds up to the most recent patches. That said, custom content occasionally breaks after major game updates. If Dean appears bald, shiny, or missing features, the usual culprit is an outdated CC file or a disabled mod setting.
Keep in mind that script mods and CC must be enabled for everything to display correctly. It is also wise to avoid mixing conflicting skin overlays or eyelash replacements, as these can override one another and alter the Sim's final look.
