- We fixed an issue that could cause pets placed from the Gallery to have missing textures once in game.
This issue was fixed in Patch 1.40.61
If you still get black animals, please open a new thread.
EA Staff (Retired)We're having trouble reproducing this issue thus far. I suspect mods may be related? I saw a couple people mention they were using LLS_ArenSims_NoBluLightingReplacement at one point, can anyone else confirm whether or not they've used that mod in the past as well? Or maybe it's a different mod that everyone has in common? Thanks for the help!
@SimGuruNick I don't know for sure if that mod was in my mods folder or not, unfortunately. I have a bunch of folders on my desktop that I was putting mods into as they were "updated". Here's the list of what I know without a doubt was in my Sims 4 Mods folder at the time:
MC Command Center
UI Cheats Extension
Cheat shortcuts
Hide Lot trait Head FX
No Food Sparkles
The one I had in that I know without a doubt is broken was the Reduced Townie Generation... I took the entire Mods folder out when I realized that one wasn't allowing the game to generate strays. I hadn't even noticed the black dog until after that at some point.
Can a mod really change the game's code even after it's removed? I don't know about everyone else but this is only one of the bugs I've had. I've actually spoken to you on Twitter a few times and sent y'all my save file twice. All of Catarina's cats are permanently uncomfortable. The adoption agent shows up with no animals but after traveling they suddenly appear but there's no option to adopt and they poof after a minute. When I tried to have my sim play with her dog it did this weird thing where the dog acted confused and my sim acted like they do when there's a puddle of water. After this thing happened in CAS yesterday I just removed my Saves folder and started again. Unfortunately, the color bug is still there. I haven't played much in the new save to test anything yet. The first pic is what happened in CAS/CAP. I was using "add from the gallery" not "play with genetics". This happened when trying to add a cat from my library. I finally gave up and tried to merge the cat from my library into the household but it wouldn't add it! It would do the whole thing as if it was merging but it never did. So I thought okay forget that cat let me just edit one that's in the household already quick and you can see what happened in the second pic. I had to force the game to quit. I'm convinced that save was corrupted. I did have the error 102 but I restored it from a previous save. I'm only mentioning all of this in case someone has a similar issue that might somehow be related.
