Re: [CC RELATED] Random Sims are shiny and have Texture Overlay

@Charsem817 When I see something like this in my game it is usually caused by an outdated CC outfit item. From the ones I've seen it's very common for them to look fine in CAS and awful in-game. It might be something you downloaded from The Gallery but it also might be something you've had in your game for a while now that has been made obsolete by a recent game patch.

First, make a note of any CC outfit items the Mom is using when she gets that checkered look, including any CC makeup, jewelry, skin overlays, etc., as there's a good chance one of those items is causing the problem. Then switch her to all Maxis outfits, makeup, jewelry, etc., and then save your game on a new save.

Next, temporarily remove those CC items from your Mods folder and delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder. This step is very important as it will ensure there is no corrupted data sticking around your game from your cache file. The game will auto-generate a new cache file the next time you start it. I delete the localthumbcache.package every time I make any change in my Mods folder ESPECIALLY when I find and remove bad CC. Restart your game and see how she looks.

Hopefully all is good now but let us know if not & we can suggest further troubleshooting steps.

Btw- Do you remember the EA ID and the name of the household in The Gallery where you got this Sim? I'd like to take a look at it if possible.

I'm just a regular Sims player who likes to use mods and CC. I don't work for EA, Sony, or Microsoft.
