@SemaviLady That may well be the case for some players but I don't have Seasons or moon phases. It's also not mood related because my sims are never anything other than Elated. They are NEVER unhappy. Unrealistic I know but it's my game ;) I do know what you are talking about, though, because I have switched households and seen some very sad looking portraits before I made them happy again. This change of appearance does not look like a mood change as the facial features have actually changed.
I still disagree. But really the images are hard to compare so I took the liberty to make a gify to help illustrate what is going on. Note the broad smile and the smiling happy eyes.

From the wishes (showing two young kids) in the snippet that you showed, it makes sense that images would change slightly to reflect a mood. You mentioned the images alternated over two sim days. Kids do amusing things that makes sims smile. So I think these do reflect a mood, although I don't actually know if the Mikezumi was near the kids or what caused the broad smile and happy eyes.
I'm glad you're happy with the portrait again. I like the broad smile and happy eyes. I think what possibly happened. Mikezumi possibly looks better without the broad smile, but I choose to differ. Not sure if the portrait was taken in low light, so maybe that is a source of distortion?
Sorry for the confusion. My fault. I only mentioned the general location of the featured portrait, to indicate the area for other lost folk like me, could find the possible bork to which you referred... I failed to reference your image when I did that, good grief. (I was half asleep and waiting for my routine documents/games backup to finish before logging off for the night.)
I do know that the game doesn't always use the same portrait for mood. It's dynamic. Anyway, so that's where I'm coming from.
Thanks for sharing. It's another area to appreciate or ponder in the game!
