Re: Makeup sliders revert back to default in Live Mode (Patch 1.108.289)

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? 1.108.289.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to any makeup category and select a custom swatch (existing prior to the latest update). Exit CAS.
What happens when the bug occurs? Makeup reverts to its default swatch
What do you expect to see? Makeup to look like it did before I left CAS
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 

See attached screenshots for clowncore outcome vs how it looks in CAS. I managed to "fix" it by deleting the outfit entirely, leaving CAS, and redoing it again, no existing custom swatches included.

Interestingly, when troubleshooting/trying out the new copy makeup feature, I found that if I applied makeup to a category with multiple outfits included, then deleted one of the outfits, the game would randomly generate one in its place; for example, if I have 2 outfits in everyday and I apply the same makeup to both of them but then delete outfit 1 and leave CAS, using "Change Outfit" in Live Mode or re-entering CAS would show a completely random (except for the makeup previously applied) outfit in the outfit 2 slot. Weird bug, not sure if it's connected to this or if it needs its own thread.

    Hi there @tinyastrogeist 

    There were 2 game updates released today, you should currently be on version 1.108.318.1020.

    Please ensure your game is fully patched, and let me know if the issue persists.

    Consistently getting this problem in multiple saves - so just adding my voice to make the thread more noticeable. Hope this gets fixed - so many jumpscares!

    @EA_Solaire The issue persists, and this is many patches later. (Have all packs, game up to date, it is January 2025, persists without mods)
