CC skin details not saving on townies

I saw this was reported as an issue around 2019-2021, I'm still experiencing this so it clearly hasn't been fixed.

I go in to edit the sims using cas.fulleditmode and add back the cc skin details that were missing such as eyelashes etc, click the tick in the bottom right in CAS to go back to live mode and save it, it does save but when I reload the game again I see the skin details are being randomly removed from the sims and not saving.

This is only seems to be happening with townies (unplayed other households). I'm using MCCC to apply the flag of Freeze Appearance, and clearly its not working for townies with cc skin details, all other CAS details such as clothing is saving ok.

Has anyone found a way of fixing this so I don't have to keep going back into cas.fulleditmode to re-apply the skin details every time I see a townie with the details missing?

    @andypuk1980a Do those same skin details work on your own Sims? And do they work on townies in a test save if you remove MCCC completely and delete the localthumbcache file? It does sound like this is an issue with your MCCC settings, and support for that is available from the creator.

    Yep they are working on my own sims also with the same flag of freeze appearance applied, the CC skin details stay applied to all my played households, it's only happening with unplayed other households (the townies).

    @andypuk1980a 

    Are the NPCs wearing the same clothes they had when you added the details when you see them out and about.  A lot of times, the game will give them situational clothes which pretty much wipe out everything they had on.  Then if they get switched back to the original clothes, some things don't return.  Is that what is happening for you?

    Hope this helps.

    Yes the npcs are wearing the same clothes they had when I added the details, I noticed when they turned up to be a bartender the details had dissappeared but it was happening to random npc's, some others were unaffected and kept the skin details which is wierd.

    @andypuk1980a And to clarify, is this happening when you've completely removed MC Command Center and all mods except the skin detail CC, deleted localthumbcache, and tested in a new save?

    Also, could you please let me know the creator and mod names for the skin details?
