Re: [ARCHIVED] Children won't inherit their parents nose (bug in genetics)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Italiano
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get To Work, Cats & Dogs, Get Famous, Snowy Escape, Seasons, Get Together, City Living, Island Living, Discover University, Realm Of Magic, StrangerVille, Vampires, Parenthood, Backyard Stuff, Paranormal, Laundry Day, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Movie Hangout.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By going into CAS and using the genetic tool to randomise the selected sim's child.
What happens when the bug occurs? The child won't actually inherit their 'modified' parents' nose, just the default version of it.
What do you expect to see? The child/sim actually inheriting their parents' nose and not the untouched/default version of it.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

Hi there, there's already another topic about this issue but given that it hasn't been active for months (except for my recent reply), I feel the need to open another one in the hope that it will get enough attention given that I have this issue since at least the start of this year and as legacy player I find it to be game-breaking and it's really bothering me. I do use Mods & CC, by the way, but removing them & reparing the game didn't help; I'd go as far as to re-install the game except I want to be sure that it's actually uncommon instead of a bug that other players might just not have noticied or talking much about it. I have attached two files to also give a visual representation of the bug (blue haired sim being the mom, and the other one the randomised child).

    @FloralGhost97 The bug report you already posted in is still valid. I merged this thread as well.

    It's easiest for EA to track if there's one active thread per issue.

    Updated the game today and as expected, this bug is still going strong and there's no fix even tho it's been months. At this point it seems like it's never gonna get fixed but hopefully I'm wrong! Genetics is essential to me as a legacy player and the bug is just putting me off to continue my gameplay.

    @FloralGhost97They didn’t fix this bug in the latest patch. I don’t think they’ve even looked into this one yet. They haven’t even fixed the Alien face bug that’s been reported years ago. It sucks for us legacy players.

    I don't know if this is still an active issue going on with this preset, but I've had a lot of issues with other nose presets (normally with the width and nose tip scaling). I've also had more genetic issues such as skin color/hair color not matching parents and whatnot. This however is the most annoying one because I'm not sure if it's just the nose, or if it could be other features as well. I clicked the 'me too' button so hopefully they fix it soon.
