[PROBABLY MOD RELATED] [GRO] Loose Tooth corrupting Child's Skin (Patch 1.97.62)

Hello! I've helped test this bug with someone who had this same issue - we determined the bug to be tied to the PYXIS default replacement teeth, which have not been updated since 2017.

If you had these teeth in your game when this bug occurred, your sim (and save) is very likely corrupted. You would need to clone those sims and move them to a new save to remedy this if that is the case.

Even if you don't use PYXIS replacements, any other default replacements (perhaps barring the ones by IceCream4Breakfast as they've been updated) are subject to causing the same issues.

I do not use default replacement teeth in my game and did not run into issues at all with losing teeth after this patch.

I ran into this glitch/issue today with one of my child sims. After finding this thread I started looking for and removing any CC relating to teeth. Inevitably after removing the loose tooth, I was still getting the same black skin glitch. I thought it was hopeless until finally found a set of CC coloured braces that once removed the problem disappeared. I don't know if that helps anyone

Even though the sims team released a patch claiming to fix this, this still has not been fixed.

😠

I found this bug again after the patch too. I don't understand why it's back!

I am experiencing this bug once again as well. My game is modded. This is a really old save file (2015), and the sims was probably born before the patch that was supposed to fix this. I'll load without mods and see if it still happens.

EDIT: I just loaded my game without mods, and had the child pull out their tooth. The corruption did not happen, so it must be mod related then. If I ever find out which mod, I'll report back.
