This is happening to me. It only happens with particular skin tones.

I tested 17 skin tones: 5 on each palette (warm, neutral, cool), and blue and green. The hair and makeup changed for 2 of the 5 on the warm palette, and for blue and green. It did not change for the other 13. 

I tested it with Mods folder in and Mods folder out. Same result. 

I have all EPS, GPs, SPs, and kits. 

I took pictures, but of course I cannot attach 34 pictures.

    I'm also having this issue with the majority of skin tones. I had to completely change my sim's ethnicity just to get it to work. Please fix this!

    Also, just FYI this also applies to manicures and pedicures.

    I recently discovered this too. 

    I tested it with a couple of Sims, and I've included a picture of one of the test results. 

    It worked fine for one skin tone, but not at all for my Sim's actual skin tone.

      @ariannaneal I just tested my save with the issue, and while one actor doesn’t change his hair and make up for gigs, Vanessa Jong (the Get Famous poster girl) changes normally.
      The affected Sim was a random NPC added to the household by marriage, so his skin tone is randomized by the game. Vanessa was premade before the base game skin tone palette expansion.

      @ariannaneal I can confirm that once I changed my Sim’s skin tone the issue did not occur! Took me a couple of tries going back and forth between the warm and neutral palettes.

    @phyllisp160 Here I am, on October 2024, having this issue — and to make matters worse, the affected Sim has a dyed Mohawk and sideburns, so it is borderline comedic that he doesn’t change when doing period pieces. 😆
