I aged my child up to teen and then spent an hour in CAS perfecting her. Then when I went back into the game, her skin was black (not like the skin tone, like black black). When I went back into CAS she had been completely transformed into another person with none of my work.Long story short, there's a glitch where if you age a kid up while they have a tooth issue, this will happen. You need to have them "fix loose tooth" before aging them up.Hope I can save some others the time I wasted.

Wow, I am so sorry this happened to you! Hopefully, they’ll fix this ASAP! How do you fix the loose tooth? I don’t have a child in any of my sims yet, but I’d like to be prepared. Yikes.

Yeah, this is an issue. Someone made a mod (for child sims who haven’t aged up yet) that will fix this problem in case you forgot pull out the tooth.https://www.patreon.com/posts/bugfix-got-tooth-80171652

This can also happen to Child sims, even if they haven't aged up. It seems to happen when the the "Loose Tooth" moodlet expires and the overlay for the gap is applied.It might be possible to circumvent it by manually pulling and fixing the tooth.I recommend saving before sleeping/napping whenever there is a Child in the household, as the "Loose Tooth" moodlet has a chance of being applied every time the Child sim wakes up.

Hey all, We have a thread here for this issue, The Sims team have already replied as well that the issue is under investigation.

I read about this bug and sadly this and the possibility of milestones going missing kinda made me want to stop playing until the bugs are fixed... At least I will take a backup of my save every day if I play.

As a heads up, you should also be careful with child sims too, because losing teeth will mess with their genetics, even when they’re in their child stage. Whenever something happens with teeth, their nose and facial features get smaller and scrunch up, producing a weird looking child/teen. So even if you fix your sim’s tooth, their genetics will be a little messed up and they’ll have a scrunched up face.

So far, I’m simply saving all my children to my library when they turn into infants using MCCC to paste the correct genetics onto them once they age up into a teen.

How do you do that please?
