[DU] Exomech Suit Color Won't Change/Doesn't keep color through Gallery

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? most recent
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs, all game packs except for outdoor retreat, I have the stuff packs tiny living, my first pet, fitness, backyard, romantic garden, movie hangout, cool kitchen, perfect patio, holiday celebration, throwback fit kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I got the bug by first equipping a beige and silver exomech suit and helmet on my sim. (these things are from the college expansion pack) After turning the game off with it equipped and my sim wearing it for a few days I unequipped it and bought the blue and black version from the gallery. I tried to debug the suit and helmet and the sim but whenever I equip it the suit turns beige and silver. The same happens with robot arms too and I never even equipped a beige and white robot arm on the sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? Every exomech suit, helmet, or robot arm I equip immediately becomes the beige and silver color.
What do you expect to see? My exomech suit, helmet, and robot arm to be blue and black instead of beige and silver (the correct color it's supposed to be)
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

none

    @FluoriteCrystal yeah, they changed to default. Either it's an issue with uploaded suits or we both downloded the same room and those are glitched.

    What is your current game version number? 1.82.99.1030 (64 bit)
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All currently released expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. As a sim who can create the Robo-Arm, ExoMech Suit and ExoMech Helmet, create a version of each that are a color scheme that are NOT: White/Beige for Robo-Arm. Black/Copper for Helmet, White/Copper for Suit 2. Equip the arm, suit and helmet, confirming that they are still the color they were created as. 3. Remove the arm, suit and helmet, and put them in a small, enclosed room. 4. Save a copy of that room with the arm, suit and helmet to your My Library 5. Add a copy of the saved room to the current lot. 6. Confirm that the arm, suit and helmet appear to be the same color as the ones they were copied from. 7. Equip the arm, suit and helmet, confirming that they are NOT the same color as they appear to be when unequipped, but instead have reverted to White/Beige for Robo-Arm, Black/Copper for Helmet and White/Copper for Suit Note: This does NOT appear to be happening with the computer glasses you can create with Robotics. Those retain their color scheme when copied.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Any version of a Robo-Arm, Exomech Suit or Exomech Helmet saved in a room or lot will not retain its color when equipped.
    What do you expect to see? I expect to see the Robo-Arm, Ecomech Suit and Exomech helmet retain the color they were created as when I equip them on my sims.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    After creating a robo-arm, exomech suit and exomech helmet, I wanted the rest of my household to get copies, without going through hoops of making all the copies manually. So I put my original arm, suit and helmet into room, saved that room to my library, then put a couple of copies of that room onto my lot.

    Unfortunately, all of the arms, suits and helmets turn into a bland color when equipped, not the original color they were created as. When unequipped, they revert back to the color they were created as. It it only a problem when they are quipped. This appears to happen to every single color scheme except, obviously, the ones that are originally created as the 'default' color all of the other switch to.

    The 'default' color schemes that all other color schemes switch to are:
    White/Beige for Robo-Arm, Black/Copper for Helmet, White/Copper for Suit

    This does NOT happen to the original exomech arms/suits/helmets that I had my sim personally create. Those retain their color scheme when equipped.

    This also does NOT appear to be happening with the Robotics computer glasses. Those retain their color scheme when copied.

    Steps to recreate: 

    1. As a sim who can create the Robo-Arm, ExoMech Suit and ExoMech Helmet, create a version of each that are a color scheme that are NOT: White/Beige for Robo-Arm. Black/Copper for Helmet, White/Copper for Suit

    2. Equip the arm, suit and helmet, confirming that they are still the color they were created as.

    3. Remove the arm, suit and helmet, and put them in a small, enclosed room.

    4. Save a copy of that room with the arm, suit and helmet to your My Library

    5. Add a copy of the saved room to the current lot.

    6. Confirm that the arm, suit and helmet appear to be the same color as the ones they were copied from.

    7. Equip the arm, suit and helmet, confirming that they are NOT the same color as they appear to be when unequipped, but instead have reverted to White/Beige for Robo-Arm, Black/Copper for Helmet and White/Copper for Suit

    @Caston8 I've merged both your reports with the existing report on this. For issues that have a thread already it's best to post in the existing threads and click me too instead of creating a new thread so the devs see how many people are affected.

  • I get this when I use bb.showhiddenobjects and place robo arms in different colours on the lot. Whichever a sim equips it will always be beige-silver (so the default one I guess) when worn. When it's unequipped it's coloured correctly obviously.

    By what I can tell from this thread, this seems to apply to all the robotics table craftables so should we create a thread for each item? At least the title should be adjusted accordingly so people can find this thread. Oh and the Computer glasses display correct colour when worn even if pulled from debug.
