My sims glasses have turned to sunglasses when in-game. Everything is fine in CAS but the minute I go into live mode they blackout on the screen and in the UI. It's weird but this only happens a couple of times and I don't know how to fix it. sometimes they're fine but other times they blackout. This also happens with my CC eyelashes, they clump up in some games but are fine in the next save. I've tried preparing the game and uninstalling it all together but nothing seems to work. I do know about laptop mode but it slows down my game and the blacked-out glasses still show up in the UI. I hope this gets fixed in a new patch but I've tried asking for help on Twitter but no one's gotten back to me.

    My research on the glasses situation is telling me that this has been going on for some years now. I also contacted someone named Dan from EA on twitter to let them know of the glitch. They were very nice :3. But out of all of the glitches this glasses one definitely gets on my nerves. And turning laptop mode off makes everything lag for me. Also, what's happening to your sims eyelashes :o ?!
