YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No This seems to be different from the usual alien disguise glitch. It happens before I play with the family at all. If I go back in to try and edit the family or place them in a lot, this glitch is present. Maybe it matters that I`ve made this alien in a family I downloaded off the gallery? It is also a hybrid that I created with genetics in CAS. The only custom content I have are lighting mods so I don't think that's the culprit. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, adjusted title

@ar412942ggg19a hybrid of which occults ? Does it happen with other families ?

Sorry, when I say hybrid I just mean a half alien half human.

@ar412942ggg19a Is it just that SIm that it happens to or a general issue with all your aliens ?

I've tested trying to make a few different alien sims and it happens to all of them.

@ar412942ggg19a I'm either unable to duplicate or don't fully understand the issue.It this only happening with hybrids or with full aliens as well ?Could you maybe add some pictures ?

@rabite832g No, I don't know have any info when Maxis fixes stuff.

So you agree it's the same issue ?

This is happening to me too. My sims had one full alien and two half aliens/human kids. All three of them were messed up. My Alien form was switched to be their "disguise" and their alien form was something random and not set by me. It removed my entire disguise and replaced it with the alien form. Also I uploaded my family to the gallery and they looked how I designed them. It was only after placing them in the world did everything change.

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? 1.88.213.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except every kit, Wedding Stories, Paranormal, Luxury Party, and Journey to Batuu
How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into CAS and create an alien then create a normal human sim. Using genetics, make a child between them. Save the family to the gallery (you will notice on the gallery photo that the half-alien half sim hybrid is shown in their alien form while the full alien is shown in their disguise..first signs of the bug) and then go into the game, you will notice the hybrid sim will look like it's alien form from CAS, but when you click on the sim, you will see the option "remove disguise" even though the sim isn't supposed to look like how they do as an alien for their human disguise. After removing the "disguise" you will see a randomly generated alien look for your alien.
What happens when the bug occurs? The human look for the sim is completely replaced by the alien look and then the alien look is randomized.
What do you expect to see? The human look working as the human disguise and the alien look staying as the alien look.
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

I also realized this bug today, but it could have been a problem for a while...(I don't play occults) Full-blooded alien sims made in CAS have their disguises working properly, but hybrids (Half alien, half-human) made using genetics, have the alien look that I created for them, set as their disguise look, and then their alien look is completely randomized. If this was hard to understand (Because it was hard to explain) I hope these pictures would further help to explain. (hover over pictures for descriptions of the problem) P.S. I have removed Mods & CC and this is still happening, it is most definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.
