[FIXED] Alien Disguise Feature Broken?

Hello! I would like to report a believed bug that I have encountered after today's patch. (5/25/17 -- PC Version 1.30.103.1010)

Here is what happened. I loaded up immediately after the patch finished and resumed a game I started yesterday, I have a sim who is an alien, I clicked "Alter Disguise" and made some edits, I finished up and then upon leaving that CAS screen and returning to the game I noticed that my sim's disguise had been totally replaced by her true alien form, as if copy and pasted, hair and clothes and all. I thought maybe she somehow had been forced back into her true form upon exiting CAS, but when I clicked her again, the option to remove her disguise was still there, everything was functioning as if she was still in disguise even though she was clearly an alien.

At this point when attempting to go back into CAS via "Alter Disguise" it then showed the carbon copies, all traces of the previous human disguise were gone. But no edits could be made, no matter what I did to change clothes or skin or hair or make any attempt to change the disguise back into a human, whenever I left CAS all changes were reverted and the disguise was once again a carbon copy of the alien sim.

So naturally after that I tried multiple things. I tried a lot of wiggling and workarounds, because I play with a lot of mods and I assumed I myself caused this glitch to happen somehow. When that failed I started a brand new alien character, even then the problem persisted. I was noticing other issues at this point as well like upon making a new human character after loading up the game, the human had an alien voice for no apparent reason, really glitchy stuff like that.

So I decided to turn of all my mods in options, and reloaded the game as I was convinced my mods were causing the issue. But no luck! Even with all mods deactivated, the same issue persisted! Now I was wondering if maybe it was the patch, so I got a friend to help me out, I had him download the game from my Origin account onto his computer, completely fresh with nothing in the saves or anything, and test it out, and lo and behold the exact same thing happened to him.

Basically:

Create Alien > Go In Game > Wear Disguise > Alter Disguise > Click Ok > Disguise Is now an alien and everything is BROKEN.

Oh and this feature was working perfectly yesterday when I was playing, before this patch was installed, so that is the only thing I can imagine to have caused this. I came straight here after testing it out with my friend's fresh game, I want to report this so maybe the devs can know about it if this really was caused by the patch, and I also want to confirm if this is a widespread issue or somehow it only is happening to me and my friend.

Sorry this was long, I tried to make it as detailed and concise as possible, thank you for your time!

    • You can now alter alien disguises again with merry abandon.


    This has been fixed in today's patch 1.30.105

    I do believe that you will need to redo all lost disguises.

    If anyone can confirm that ..
