It's probably the most disruptive one for me and it means I can't use the sliders for skin tones or the mac make up. It causes my Sims, including toddlers to be plastered in weird neon makeup, even though it's not supposed to be possible for toddlers and for them you can't remove it. I even got a German Shepherd that was bright glowing white as a result.
The babies genetics one has an open thread on here too but I can't find it at the moment. That one means that all my Sims babies are of a totally different colour to their parents. It didn't bother me massively as they were still little cutie pies and I usually adopt babies anyway but I added my Me Too to that thread for the devs anyway just so they know how many players are affected.
With so many bugs I usually keep email links open to the main bug threads I'm involved in as well because I always lose them. There is a compiled list of reported bugs page where you can check all the bugs though.
I'm really hoping this new big update will fix some of the major issues because I'm missing playing my game, but as it is it was driving me crazy so I took a break. I got a new console for my birthday which doesn't play the Sims so I thought ok I'll just play Sims on a weekend, but going back to it from a different game just highlighted the problem. Going from a game with zero bugs back to wanting to smash something...! So I thought ok, I'll wait for the next big update and cross my fingers it's a big bug fix. I've been playing the Sims since the Sims 1, I've played every version and this is the buggiest, but then it is also the biggest as far as I know.
Managed to track down the baby genetics thread for you incase you've not seen it so here it is https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Issues-with-Skin-Tone-Genetics-Patch-1-69-59/td-p/9874066/page/3 turned out I was looking in the wrong section for it while half asleep like a doofus!
That's one thing I always forget with using the forum, and I've used it for a few years now! So you have to search from the Sims 4 home menu in the right section. If you're reading the General Discussions and Feedback thread and do a search it won't show all the bug reports results too, you'd have to search the Bug Reports section. I know this, and yet I still absent mindedly do it anyway!
Also for sheer comedy value I attach an image of my bugged German Shepherd! There was nothing I could do for poor Cosmo I couldn't fix him so he was deleted and happily recreated without the spooky alien type glow!
