Re: [FIXED] Alien Disguise Feature Broken?

So... using tips from this thread, I finally figured out the completely unintuitive and kludgy way to create a human-appearing alien disguise, if your sim's human disguise has been overwritten by the May 25th patch bug. These are the exact steps:

1. Make sure your alien sim is in their disguise, using "Disguise Self", even if the disguise looks alien because of the bug. This will not work if the disguise isn't selected. 

2. Go to a mirror, and select "Change Sim". ("Alter Disguise" and "Plan Outfits" WON'T work.)

3. Select the BOTTOM portrait - yes - the Alien form in CAS, NOT the disguise. 

4. Change the skin color, eyes, hair, ears, clothing, etc. as you would like. But careful! This is a ONE SHOT deal.  If you try to edit the disguise again, after it's been saved, it will be wiped out and you'll have to start all over again.

Edited to add: Making changes to any sim in the household will overwrite the alien disguise, even if the alien sim isn't changed. The only way around this is to move out the alien or sim, edit in CAS, and move back in? (I have not personally tested this.)

5. Save in CAS. The "Alien" form that you changed is now the Human Disguise.  You CANNOT edit this later in CAS, but at least you can HAVE a human disguise until a fix comes out.

    You're right @Pegasyms that does seem to be the only workaround for now :'( and yes, changing other family members was indeed how I lost the alien disguise
