I'm not entirely sure how this happens as it is very rare, at least for me. This isn't the first time it has happened, but is the most recent. I was saving my game and walked away from my computer to do something quickly. When I cam back, my werewolf had the skin texture/clothing painted on him that looks like Juniper Grove from Horse Ranch. I tried going to another lot, that didn't work. I tried exiting to manage world and reloading. That didn't work either. When I changed into his other outfits, he had his normal fur texture and such. It's just his everyday wear that is affected. I then tried exiting to menu and reloading my save. My werewolf loaded in properly. As I said, I am not sure as to why or how this happens. I was saving before it occurred.
Here is the skin/clothing overlay of Juniper Grove on my werewolf's beast form. I didn't take a full screenshot, but his feet had what looked like her shoes painted on it.
Here is what he is supposed to look like (this is his cold wear).
And here is his everyday wear and what it is supposed to look like.
Edit: I found a case where this affected my werewolf in his human form. This affected his warmer weather outfit. I'm not sure who's skin texture is covering him this time.
Here is what his warmer weather outfit is supposed to look like. I had to exit to menu and reload save for this to work.
And here it is in the outfit selection (when it was bugged).
I changed the title as it no longer applies solely to the beast form but also the human form.
Edit 2: So, I tried exiting to menu and reloading save and while in-game my sim in his warm weather outfit appears as it should, the profile pic in the outfit choice menu is bugged out. I tried exiting the game and reloading the game. It is still that way. I even tried repairing the game, still bugged. It's not gamebreaking, but it is really bothersome. The only real fix I can see is changing the outfit (for example, putting on a different top). I guess I'll have to do that, but I really like his warm weather outfit....
