Hi, I recently updated my Sims 4 game and the skin details don't appear to be working. When I try to change the skin details of a pre-made sim from the gallery with custom content (or any new sim randomized in CAS), the changes only save to the everyday outfit, but for the other outfits (formal, athletic, sleep, etc.), the skin details with custom content are not saved. I discovered that I could make the same skin detail adjustments for each outfit category, but that's just tedious. This hasn't happened to me before, and I think it's due to the latest patch. If anyone has experienced this same issue or can bring insight into the situation, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hm. I only noticed this if you randomized the traits of a Sim. If you did that, your skin details disappear. For me, at least.

Lots of trouble since update. Man comes out of shower and spins and spins and spins into his clothesToddler walks around with bowl stuck in hand. Woman can't make a meal giving indication she can't get to the cutting board.

@ilovebunnys65 and @AHolyToilet You probably have broken Mods or CC. There is a thread that keeps track of the content broken by yesterday's patch here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/960932/broken-updated-mods-cc-island-living-june-2019-patch/p1@ilovebunnys65 your specific problem with the glowing skin could be a skin that needs updating or broken 3D eyelashes. These aren't on the list but, I have seen people reporting issues on another forum. Unfortunately, they didn't post the name of the broken skin.

Everything is pretty much broken in my game after the new update came out, especially some of my favorite mods. It's infuriating to have to deal with this.

@Yuutou That's normal for an EP update. You can find support on mod/CC updating here - https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/960932/broken-updated-mods-cc-island-living-june-2019-patch - and on SimsVIP.

Same thing is happening to me. I have a mac, and the issue is so frustrating. I would literally pay someone to make a mod to fix this.

I have no mods or cc now and Im still having a lot of issues. The walls in apartments for San Myshuno won't appear, and when I try to push the up button for them to appear, the roof appears and I cant see the walls, if they are showing. Items are constantly deleted and it says I don't have the required pack when I do. I've deleted all mods and cc re-installed twice. So I wiped my P.C. (I only use this one for gaming) and no luck...Idk what to do, am I just supposed to wait for the bug patch thats coming?

Try a Game Repair, and deleting the file called localthumbcache. Also check here to see if it's a reported bug: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs If not, and if it's happening without any mods or CC and after deleting localthumbcache, worth reporting it there.

I’m having the same problem with the skin details and tattoos, and I have to keep on adding them to each outfit and it is too tedious and time consuming for me to do, especially if I am making more than one sim ???I think it’s a Mac problem and I hope it gets fixed, because I’m tired of this. : (

Is this affecting your vampire sims copying from your human form as well? For me it used to copy them all at once but now it will only copy if I have the same outfit category selected.

This is happening to me too. I’m playing on a Mac and it is super frustrating to add my skin details to every outfit.

This is also happening to me. I was hoping there was an easy fix or a mod to help this bug disappear

At the moment, none that I've seen. But do add a "me too" to the bug report to bump up the priority: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

This is also happening to me. I am happy that the Sims team is in the process of fixing these issues but I am extremely disappointed in the released product. It seems the game was not ready for release. I understand that bugs will happen once a game is released but this is the worst one yet. I am upset on the released product and they charged $40 for a broken product. I hope these issues get fixed immediately. We are already past 2 weeks in. Updates would be nice too.
