[FIXED] [GRO] Facial features shrink after loosing tooth (Patch 1.97.62)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.97.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs, all game packs, all stuff packs except the sports pack, a few kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a child sim. Save the child to your library before they get the lose tooth. Wait until the child loses their tooth. Compare the child to their earlier version that was saved to your library. It is more visible if you age the child up into a teen.
What happens when the bug occurs? Your child sims genetics get distorted when the lose tooth comes off. The facial features shrink.
What do you expect to see? The sims genetics remaining the same after the lose tooth coming off.
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

‌

This child sim was born after the lose tooth feature was disabled for awhile. Hence, her genetics cannot be affected by the original lose tooth bug. Before patching my game I saved her to my library. She got the lose tooth moodlet, and the tooth came off. In her child form the difference is not very clear, but it is super clear when you age her up. Her facial features shrank significantly. Please, EA, if it's too difficult to fully fix this feature, unless make it optional for players. I prefere having sim kids with normal features over the tooth thing which doesn't add that much gameplay wise.

I have some cc in my game but not mods atm.

Here's a picture of her before and after losing a tooth. As you can see, her eyes and chin shrunk significantly.

Altering your Sim's look with the Get Famous Stylist Chair, getting a Tooth Extraction from Growing Together, or putting on that fabulous Crystal Creations Jewelry will no longer lead to unexpected body or face transformations.

Fixed in Patch 1.113.277/2.08

This should now also def be fixed. Please create a new thread if you still have issues.

It looks like there's currently three very similar issues. Please pick the right thread to report.

New children are affected with the facial feature shrink issue as soon as they loose a tooth: [GRO] New Sims: Facial features shrink after loosing tooth (Patch 1.97.62)

Already affected Sims do not change to normal (this is not a bug cause the game can't revert already bugged Sims. The bug fix was only for new Sims going forward): [NOT BUG] Pre-Patch Sims: Appearance not fixed with tooth patch update.

Children still turn black after loosing a tooth (possibly mod related, make sure you remove all your mods and delete the localthumbcache file): [GRO] Loose Tooth corrupting Child's Skin Patch 1.97.62)

Sims get big/small heads or facial features after aging up: Big/tiny heads, eyes, and noses after aging up

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? most of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? unsure
What happens when the bug occurs? sims are still distorted with deformed faces but now also have distorted bodies, mostly very skinny or disproportionate and not the same as they were
What do you expect to see? sims to look normal, the way they did before the patch broke them
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. it was the tooth loss patch (newest patch)
‌
My sims are still distorted even after the patch that was supposed to fix it, but now in addition to squashed faces or small eyes etc, they don't have their given bodies. They are either ridiculously skinny or disproportionate. I never saved the game after the initial bug, so these sims are not supposed to be bugged as far as I understand.
Really sad because I poured almost a decade into some of these sims :'(
Thanks for any help

There was another post about this and it was confirmed that any sim affected by this before the patch are permanently deformed. The patch only applies to sims that get loose teeth after its release. Someone suggested using a copy/paste of a sim's appearance before the bugged appearance using MCCC (I don't use mods, only relaying what I've seen others saying) or you could enable cas.fulleditmode on cheat and manually change your sim's appearance that way. Unfortunately, there is no fix for affected sims pre-patch, from what was confirmed.

@LolaLikesC4 I'm going to merge your post with the thread on new Sims since you said you didn't save them that way.

Could you add some pictures on the body ? Also at what point did you remove your mods/cc ?

@DracuAlice2017 This is about new sims that were created/born after lose tooth was disabled and eho are still affected. Hence, the bug is still there.

@BumblebeeCat9 Update on my sim. She lost her tooth two more times and each time bugged her appearance further. The nose rose up and lips became smaller, like in the original glitch which is clearly not fixed!!! Here is an updated picture of her.

@BumblebeeCat9 Same thing happening with my child sim, but in my case it made him a flat black color and randomized his clothing, hair, and accessories. The strange thing is, when I went to cas, he looked mostly normal, reload into the game, he looked like a monster. Sadly, I had to just go to a previous save and age him up to a young adult, because this bug also extends to teenagers, somehow.

@Fallonia Like the skin goes black ? There's another thread for that.

Are you using any mods/cc in your game ?

@BumblebeeCat9 Sorry, my bad. I misread the post and thought they were talking about something else.

@crinrict I rushed my post, but I was having a bizarre mixture of both issues, the black skin + crazy clothes thing was fixed (likely from a game repair), but then he still loss his tooth and got the Whoville nose and shriveled chin, lol. All mods/cc updated, removed various mods for kids like the default teeth replacement, sliders, presets. Even tested with a "vanilla" game, same Grinch genetics. Deleted Localthumbcache.package even though that has never fixed any issue in my game or anyone else's I know. Strange bug. I do kinda miss the flat black skin and weird clothes though...
