[FIXED] [CCSP] Mismatched Gemstone Swatches In Gemstone Cuts And Crafted Jewelry

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? 1.105.332.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every pack + kit up to date (SP20/CCS)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1st issue: Cut a Ruby Gnome-Shaped Gemstone and compare it to other Ruby Gemstone cuts 2nd issue: Cut a Peach Quartz Cabochon-Shaped Gemstone and compare it to other Peach Quartz Cabochon cuts 3rd issue: Craft a Botanical Necklace and Bracelet, have your sim wear them, and compare them to other Botanical jewelry of the same materials (i.e Silver and Rose Quartz)
What happens when the bug occurs? 1st issue: The Ruby Gnome-shaped Gemstone is meant to be reddish, but instead, it is grey. (Image 1) 2nd issue: The Peach Quartz Cabochon-Shaped Gemstone is meant to be reddish as well, however its texture is identical to that of a regular Quartz Cabochon-Shaped Gemstone (Image 2) 3rd issue: The swatches for the Botanical Necklace and Bracelet don't properly reflect the gemstone they were crafted with (at least with Rose Quartz having a bluish color, there are absolutely too many combinations to check for other mismatched swatches) (Image 3)
What do you expect to see? I expected the swatches to match and reflect the proper gemstone colors that were used to craft all items
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? No

There's a few different issues with gemstone colors and textures not matching. As described in the form above;

Ruby Gnome appears grey instead of red,

Peach Quartz Cabochon cut has the same texture as regular Quartz Cabochon cut, instead of being light red like other Peach Quartz cuts,

And certain jewelry pieces do not match the colors of the gemstones that were used to craft said jewelry. In my case, it was Rose Quartz appearing blue on the Botanical Necklace and Bracelet, with the Earrings and Ring having the proper light pink colors.

Edit: Attached a fourth image in a reply, just noticed that Fire Opal and Orange Topaz also have the same texture.

Edit By Crinrict: Added tag to title

    • Updated some combinations of crafting jewelry that were resulting in a gemstone color that did not match the crystal that was selected when crafting.

    Fixed in Patch 1.105.345/1.89

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Cut gem on the new gemology table
    What happens when the bug occurs? All the different cut gems will look the same colour
    What do you expect to see? cut gems to correspond to their uncut colour
    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 

    When cutting gems on the gemology table the cut gems will all be the same purpley colour which does not correspond to the colour they are before cutting e.g a fire opal will still look purple instead of orangey-red (pictured)

    @littlescxrydream I believe its normal for this specific gem cut, because it is a crystal tree seed, as I understand it of course, as it has one function and the tree only has one color too... I dont think they planned it to be of different colors.

    @odaphii I figured I may mention it here but the gnome issue was already noticed and I assume logged by Principal Designer @mattnetic on Twitter, but I think it's important to log it here as well.

    Noticed just now that Fire Opal Cabochon and Orange Topaz Cabochon share the very same texture

    Edit: Nevermind, Image 5 shows that all Fire Opal cuts and Orange Topaz cuts share the same texture? I don't know if that's intentional.
