Sim changing after drinking lean potion

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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? None.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure. My sim aged up, gained some weight, and then drank a lean potion.
What happens when the bug occurs? Not entirely sure how to describe it. My sim drinks the potion and then "transforms" (unsure of what to actually refer to it?) into a different appearance. The potion works (slims him down), but he looks completely different and I'm unable to change that. I had a backup save before he drank the potion, and reloading it didn't change him - BUT it did make his icon turn into the other appearance instead. (Happens every time I reload the backups / current save.) He originally had brown hair and masculine clothes, but now he has orange and blond hair and feminine clothes.
What do you expect to see? Him to slim down and not "transform" into a different looking sim.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌I'm not entirely sure how to describe what happens, it's just a little jarring to see! I cannot change the sim when he "changes" into that, and I cannot fix the icon issue no matter what I do.

It was funny when it first happened, but now I'm a little worried that my sim might be bugged for a bit. ☹️ So far, nothing else has changed other than him (my other sims are perfectly fine). This hasn't happened to me on any other saves (though, I haven't had much time to replicate it on there either) so I'm not entirely sure what to do.
