[FIXED] Muscle tone not properly displaying in Live mode

Skin textures on my Sims are not correct. They do not appear as "buff" as they do in CAS. I thought it was just the way they looked in game, until the correct texture appeared on one of the Sims. Com...

    Quoting this from another thread

    The original muscle mass issue should be fixed for players that have set their Sims to “very high quality,” within the graphic settings. This was done on purpose for performance reasons. It was a visual issue that occurred directly from CAS to live mode.

     There's another issue with muscle tones which can be found here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-Loss-of-muscle-mass-weight-after-the-game-is-loaded/td-p/4450733/

    I'm going to mark this one as fixed but feel free to post if you still have this issue on high quality settings and by going from CAS to Live mode

    I have additional information and a possible work-around:

    The male YA SIM skin texture not showing correctly in-game seems to be linked to the waist size. If the muscle slider is at maximum and the waist size is at minimum, then the in-game texture for male Sims does not match what you see in CAS.

    *Increasing the waist size to about 10% seems to tip the balance and show the more muscular skin texture in-game again.

    I'm theorizing that the Sim's weight is fluctuating somewhat during game play - and looking more muscular when they gain a litle weight (opposite of what you would expect) because of this bug. I haven't played enough to know if this work-around persists, and I haven't tested my theory on any other type of SIm except for the Young Adult Male. If is stops working, I'll post again. Otherwise, increasing the waist size a little is probably a valid temporary fix.

    Temporary fix:

    If your Sim's texture has changed to the "less muscular" version because their waist size has reached minimum, then

    CTRL-SHIFT-C to enter cheats

    CAS.FULLEDITMODE so you'll be able to adjust he waist size, not just the clothing

    TESTINGCHEATS ON to enable cheats

    SHIFT-CLICK your Sim and chose the "Edit in CAS" option. All your Sims can be adjusted at the same time, since CAS edit brings the entire household into CAS. Be *very cautious* about using this cheat on an NPC Sim - it can leave you playing their household instead of yours.

    Increase the waist size a little to get the correct texture back in-game. It only needs to be a little above the minimum value

    It will be ncessary to repeat thie process occassionally since your Sim will probably slim down again as they exercise

    The CAS.FULLEDITMODE persists, but you will need to re-enter the TESTINGCHEATS ON *every* time you need to use the CAS cheat

      Thanks for the additional info

      I've confirmed my suspicion: When the Sim works out a lot, their waist size drops. When it gets to the lowest possible setting - the skin texture changes to the wrong "less muscular" version. It's a simple matter (if annoying) to enter CAS with the cas.fulleditmode cheat to change the waist size, but it's a definite bug.

      I apologize for asking this here, but I'm a relative newbie: Do I accept the work-around as a solution? It *is* a bug that needs to be fixed, but the CAS edit works to temporarily solve the problem.

        I would accept solutions if you found a working workaround so others can jump directly to it.

        It's still on the compiled list and I'm usually crossing out not bugs or solved bugs.

        I'll make sure that the gurus understand this though and that stuff still need fixing. Finding the cause for something also helps them reproduce and fix.

    I'm having the same issue but the workaround doesn't work.

    Issue


    I'm having the same issue but the workaround mentioned in this thread doesn't correct it.

    Steps you took for Issue to occur

    It just kind of happened. I can't put my finger on the exact time it started.

    Picture

    See attached.

    Where does the bug occur ?

    All characters in the game are missing their muscle textures. It looks like the slider is at 50% for everyone. In CAS you can see the textures properly.

    Mods/CC

    A few pieces of clothes. Shirt retextures Etc. I removed them and the issue persists.

    Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs

    All

    Occurring since

    Started about 2 days ago. Saves from before that still work properly so it's not system wide, just save file specific to all played SIMS and Townie NPCs.

    Operating system

    Windows 7

      The devs are aware that it's still occurring on some settings.
