Blotchy Vampire Skintones
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? Everything except Jungle Adventure.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a Sim with one of three darker vampire skintones and load their household to play them.
What happens when the bug occurs? The face is noticeably blotchy and discolored. It's worse on the three darkest vampire skintones and much less noticeable on the lighter vampire ones. It is not apparent in CAS, only in live mode.
What do you expect to see? For the face to look normal and not glaringly patchy.
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 removed my mods, repaired the game, reset the folder, etc., and the issue remains. Have also tried a new save and it's the same. I don't think this is by design so something must've gone haywire.
Very late to responding but as it turns out, it was fixed by a mere graphic settings change! D'oh. I'd never touched the "uncompressed sims textures" option before (mostly forgot it existed to be honest) but when I enabled the uncompressed textures, the weird blotchy skin tones ceased. Sorry for all the fuss and thank you guys for trying to help me!
