I'm using obscurus unlocked sliders for kids and whenever i try to save the edits i make to my child sims the results doesn't save and it reverts back to vanilla. does anyone know if this a current bug or incompatibility? my game also doesn't save any preset body changes.
Thanks for letting me know, I am shock to learn that all of the child sliders are broken. :0
Hi, can you add VANILLA PUFF Preset SMALLER NECK for children and toddler too as those sliders too can't be saved? Thanks
Fabulous - thank you!
I hope the don't take too long to fix this problem!😤
I'd like to add that it's not just sliders, but all modded child presets revert back as well, at least for me. I thought it was going to be fixed on the hotfix on the 20th. Now I feel like it's never going to happen
Still no update with the fix?
I encountered this bug after a recent patch undid all the CAS modifications I did to my MerChildren with MCCC. It sent me on the path to find a slider cause I thought MCCC simply wasn't supporting what I found. I think I can honestly say this might be a bug with the game.
The Slider I found was:
Obscurus-Sims: Unlocked Sliders for Kids
While I am not the creator of this mod, I was able to update this mod by running it through the updated mod software recommended by Sims 4 Studio. The software updated the slider and I dabbled in trying to create my own preset when it didn't work. Unfortunately, I don't think creating my own preset would change anything.
Here are screenshots of my testing.
The Latest Screenshot before the Recent Update that fixed the Pregnant Looking Child Sim bug.
What my twins looked like when I reloaded the game. Tested thing with Zephyr. The twins in my game share identical genetics making them 100% identical twins in game. Is helpful cause if I update the appearance of one, the other should be unchanged. I used Zephyr for the test.
I turned testingcheats true on and then went in to modify in CAS.
Zephyr appeared to have reverted in CAS as well.
I did my modifications using the Slider I updated. I admit the slider works much better than the MC CAS copy/paste route. I was never using Slider until I looked for alternatives to my methods. I intentionally try to keep my mods to a minimum.
Exited CAS. Zephyr returned to what he looked like before.
I went back into CAS and selected a Vanilla Preset from EA.
Exited the game and.... Zephyr reverted back.
Went back into CAS, and the EA preset changes still appeared in CAS.
Conclusion, this bug is functionally like the Love Stuck Bug with Gallery Sims. Changes made using EA files will remain in CAS but won't show in live mode. All routes with mods simply don't work or get saved in CAS. MC CAS Copy/Paste that I was originally using and functional sliders in CAS. No changes remain after returning to live mode. MC CAS does not do anything in Live Mode. Basically, you can't copy a sims appearance from another sim and paste it to a child.
How the Obscurus Slider I updated is currently working in game:
I wish I found a work around, but this has me stumped. Long after the time spent in Sims 4 Studio, Blender, and etc. I couldn't even figure out a work around with mods. My modding skill is extremely low right now though.
Normally, when I share something regarding a bug, I try to share something that might help.
I hate to say it but this persists into a new save and a new save with lovestruck disabled. I was hoping to do scenes of my twins in my next few chapters, but they effectively look like they gained weight now and won't look like they did in older scenes.
yea I haven't played since the update cause I don't want to save. All the children in the game turned skinny, there isn't any point editing all of them back to normal since it'll just revert..
It’s possible to create a new save if you want to go into build mode and develop a build for when you get back to playing.
At least, that’s what I intend to do. While I wait for a fix, I have to build a Thrift Store for new SimLit chapters and a build for a MerMay challenge to share with the community. I do not think this bug should prevent doing builds in a separate save that you can transfer through the gallery. I do not believe lots from the gallery would bug an older save if they are transferred between saves that way.
Personally, I won’t be able to progress my actual gameplay for my story like this. While just a visual bug, inconsistent appearances of Sims could disrupt a reader’s immersion in my story. It definitely would mess with me. I have not saved over anything while testing things.
Child sliders aren't currently updatable by modders -- and won't be unless EA changes game code to make them possible again. Given that they seem to have been resolving game bugs with toddler and child appearance, I'm not anticipating that that's going to happen. You might just need to get used to not having them.
