All Auto-Generated Servos Have the Same Appearance

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Svenska
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.67.45.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, Dine Out, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventures, StrangerVille, Realm of Magic, Journey to Batuu, Luxury Party Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Holiday Celebration Stuff, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The easiest way is to visit the Utility Bot Contest several times, since Servos tend to be generated for that event.
What happens when the bug occurs? All auto-generated Servos look exactly the same.
What do you expect to see? That auto-generated Servos can be of any of the available colours. Or at least a way to change their colours without making them playable.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Servos can be of the colours blue+red, white+beige, silver+grey, grey+brown, red+green, black+blue and gold+brown. All auto-generated townie-Servos are blue+red. It's also not possible to change a Servo's colour without making them playable.

Example picture of my sim's Servo friends. These four Servos are all auto-generated and all blue+red.

  • You can build only one color pattern of Servo. There are no other in-game texture for servo frames which are being built. Just this blue-ish. So it's, like, by design - no random color swaps upon activation.

    I guess that makes sense. But I still feel like it's odd that we can't change the servos' appearances without making them playable.

    Also, would be cool if we could create Servos in CAS, so that we can choose if we want to create them through game-play or through CAS (as we can choose for aliens, vampires, mermaids, and spellcasters), then there could be an option to change the Servo's colour in CAS too.
