[GTW] Alien features change when aged up (Patch 1.98)

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? 1.98.127.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game and stuff packs except for Vampires and Werewolves. Some kits, not all.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Age an alien Sim up from Teen to YA or Adult to Elder. Have not tested on YA to Adult, but I image it will happen during that life stage transition, too.
What happens when the bug occurs? The alien sim loses it's alien features and has human facial features. It changes the eyes, nose, lips, and chin to be more human. My alien sim had wide set eyes, a skinny nose, thick lips, a small chin, and cute jaw line. When she aged into an elder her eyes went close together, the nose was no longer skinny, her jaw shape squared off, her lips became smaller and her chin became less pointy. The same thing happened to the teen sim when she aged into a YA. Pictures attached.
What do you expect to see? I expect the alien sim's facial features to stay the same and not change upon age up.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

The first photo (labeled "Sadira - Alien 1) shows my alien sim in her Adult or YA stage (taken awhile ago). The second photo shows my alien sim after aging into an elder. Notice how much her face changed upon age up. I haven't had this issue before, and I'm not sure at what point it broke as I have not played with this family in a while.

    Hi! Yes, I tested it in a vanilla game and it still happened, so I don’t think it has anything to do with my mods.

    @AllisonAria Could you please add some comparison screenshots without CC ?

    Remove all your mods/cc before aging the alien up.

    I did a short test on a Sim I created in CAS and it looked fine to me but I didn't take screens to compare 1:1 (don't have that much time for testing currently). Also don't know how it would be for an ingame born Alien.

    Of course! Here you go. It reminds me of the glitch that happened a few updates ago when Growing Together first came out. All my human and magic occult sims have aged up fine, it's only happening with my alien sims. My alien sims are generational sims, they were not created in CAS.

    Hello all,

    If you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!
