[OPEN] [W] Werewolf Toddler causes error when trying to save family to gallery

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? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Don't know
What happens when the bug occurs? Everything looks normal except the toddler picture is missing from the upload tab. If I click on the empty portrait, I get a message saying, "Cannot locate this item." If I click "OK" the screen remains greyed out and doesn't return to normal and I have to exit out the game using task manager.
What do you expect to see? Toddler
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 

‌

Toddler is not shown in smaller picture, if I click on the portrait, I get the above message, and the screen will stay greyed out whether I click "OK" or "X", so I have to exit using task manager. 

Should also note that I can completely save the family to the gallery with the blank picture. If I click the picture in my gallery, I get the same message and greyed out screen that I need to use task manager to get out of. Have no idea what would happen if I uploaded it because uploading it seems like a bad idea. (although, some weird part of me really wants to upload it just to see if it does occur.)

I decided to experiment with cas.fulleditmode and if you age up the toddler to teen, when they get their werewolf form, everything is fine. So maybe it has something to do with naturally born werewolves?  Mother is also a spellcaster so even though the toddler is a werewolf they also have the weak bloodline trait.. so maybe that has something to do with it?

    @vyvexthorne I'm also having this exact problem. I tried to export two families with werewolf toddlers, and both were like this. Since the families can be exported, I tried importing one family into a different save and they did import correctly. The toddler in question is present in the new save, still a werewolf, still has all of his skills, correct trait, and outfits.

    The only thing that changed recently, was I updated to the current patch from the one before the pre-HSY patch. (I had been trying to hold off on updating my main PC until other issues I've been seeing on my other PC are fixed, but had an unrelated/Origin error, and was forced to update.) Both families toddlers were conceived & born after updating to the current patch.

    I'm on PC Steam.
    I have every pack except Modern Menswear.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Give birth to a werewolf baby and while it is a toddler save the family in the gallery.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The toddler's photograph in the Gallery is missing, and if you try to click on it, it gives an error popup.
    What do you expect to see? I would like to see the picture and be able to click on it without errors.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

    I have attached two images to give you a better understanding of the problem, in the one where the error popup appears it says "Unable to locate object."

    EDIT: I must add that if you check the picture while your're still in CAS, the game freezes when you click OK on the popup error.

    Also the same problem. Father is a werewolf, mother is an alien. The children that take after the mother are fine, but the babies/toddlers that can adorably learn to howl are not visible in the smaller preview when going to upload.


    Does not seem to be affecting gameplay.

    Does this only happen with supernatural + werewolf births, or does this glitch occur with a werewolf born to two werewolves as well? What about a normal sim and a werewolf? Honestly, I’m just glad it isn’t as bad as a glitch screen shot I saw involving a werewolf / mermaid baby…

    Am still playing the family. 

    Just not uploading them to the shared gallery. Have been nervous that somehow my save file was corrupted and it was not registering as such yet. Am a bit relieved that someone noticed it was after a patch that this occurred. (Thanks)

    a lot of packs installed, but no cc whatever.
    Mods are off.

    I just uploaded my sims to the library and clicked through each sim. My infant was invisible in the miniscreen. I went to click on them, and the pop-up "Item is corrupted, do you want to remove it?" I clicked no (ofc after spending so much time making them). My game then glitched and appears to be stuck in the library but is showing the normal create a sim not frozen but unable to click anything. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this / or save my game? Thanks so much

    Hi there
    This is a bug that has already been reported.
    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/W-Werewolf-Toddler-causes-error-when-trying-to-save-family-to/m-p/11741773#M228489
    Click "Me too" in the OP of the thread above.
    If you don't click on the broken thumbnail, you can save to the Library even if the Werewolf Infant's thumbnail is not displayed. Also, even if you DL the save, the household will be arranged normally, so it seems that there is no problem in playing.
