For me the issue seems to be solved now.
Don't know.
Are you using and mods ? Did you try if it works on a fresh user folder just for testing purposes to make sure it's not some corrupt file issue ?
I'm only using CAS mods aka Make-up, Clothing, and Hair in my game. Tried removing all of my CC and tray and duplicating a fresh sim via the same methods, and no go. It's only merging different sims together in one household and not the same or a prior version of that sim. Thankfully that's the biggest thing that I'm having problems with.
I've added but it might be on purpose since there were issues if you had the same Sim in your game twice.
