Other Occult Eyes are Showing Up for Spellcasters After Downloading Defaults

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.104.58.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By downloading default eyes for occults
What happens when the bug occurs? Alien and mermaid eyes are showing up as an option for spellcasters in CAS.
What do you expect to see? Alien and mermaid eyes should not show up as an option for spellcasters.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I've downloaded custom content default eyes for humans and each of the occults (aliens, mermaids, spellcasters, etc.). I absolutely love the eyes and everything works perfectly, except the alien and mermaid eyes are also showing up for spellcasters. This isn't a huge issue, just kind of annoying more than anything because there are now a million options for them. I've tried going into Sims 4 Studio to disallow the eyes for spellcasters, but it is registering that they are already disallowed even though they're still showing up in CAS. I don't know if this is a known bug, but I can't find a fix anywhere. Thanks in advance!

    @kittengloommetal I suspect there was a change in the game coding and that updates will need to be done for S4S or an update to the game if the change is a bug. Either way, usually batch fixes on default replacements aren't a great idea and creators might need to make manual changes. Personally, I think I'm going to keep one of the eye sets I tested (it's really nice!) and live with the extra options being there in CAS for Spellcasters.

    On the plus side, unlike with Aliens in the fall, Spellcasters still have heads!

  • @kittengloommetal Just to check, have you tested with only these eyes in the Mods folder, after deleting the localthumbcache file as well? And what's the CC (creator and name)?

  • @kittengloommetal I did a bit of file checking on this with two different creators' default replacement eyes. It looks to me like the issue isn't with the CC but with the game ignoring the "no-Spellcasters" flag in the CC (which I confirmed is there in the tuning) for Mermaid and Alien eyes.

  • I just tested with only the eyes in my mods folder and after deleting that file, and they're are still showing up for spellcasters. They're called Soft Eyes by squeamishsims, but they were updated by Cowplant-Snacks for infants and spellcasters. When I open up the eyes that are supposed to be for just aliens or mermaids in Sims 4 Studio, everything shows that they should not be enabled for spellcasters but they still show up in CAS as an option for them.

  • Ok, thank you so much for checking! I'm glad that the eyes I downloaded aren't the issue because I love them and I'm super picky when it comes to cc. Is this something that EA will have to fix or could Sims 4 Studio create a batch fix?

    The issue I have is even the eyes that are facepaint do not show for my occult sims either...I have done everything I have been able to try and fix it with sims 4 studio by batch fixing, re catagorising as best I can (not sure how to do a lot of modding) any ideas why this is so broken? I removed the eyes but I want to have other eyes other than the awful EA ones...maybe some links to eyes that do work for occults?

    @CrystalGecko76 For looking for new eye options, try posting in Mod & CC Discussion, the official The Sims Forums, or the Sims Discord server. Do keep in mind that if you're using defaults, those shouldn't be batch-fixed.
