I have noticed that the new curly hairstyle for kids that came with "Seasons" changes colors by ghost hand. We had this bug before and it looks like it returned. It mainly happen when you go from one into another outfit category and back to the previous. The color will change from dark-brown to blond and even red. Very annoying.

  • It happens with me and the new black hair swatch as well on my toddler. Im glad I'm not the only one. I thought it was something wrong with my game even though I was just using base game hair.

    I've been having this bug for a loongg time. When I go into CAS and I switch between the outfit categories of my child sims, their hair color seems to change. I have a feeling it always reverts back to black, but I've also seen it change to red. When I change it to the color I want before exiting CAS it will stay the right color, but there were one or two instances where it even changed after exiting CAS. I also once had a teenager who appeared to have pink eyebrows in game, but when opening CAS would show normal colored eyebrows (matched to hair). 

    There is another topic already made on this, but it's from 2018 and it says it has been fixed so I thought I'd just make a new topic.

    What do you expect to see? The hair to stay the color I made it

    I set sims (primarily toddler/child females) to have the darkest shade of brown hair, but when they change outfits in both live mode and CAS their hair will switch to the next shade lighter. This happens with CC and base game hair, with and without mods. It's very annoying, as it sometimes takes me swapping to a whole new color in CAS to get it back to the correct dark brown. I will switch from everyday to athletic, for example, and now the hair is the wrong shade in every category. Both shades are pictured below on a sim with CC hair, but again it will happen on BG hair, too. It does not happen every time I switch outfits, but it will happen at least once every time I play the game.
