[Bug] Game data carried in character template
This is rather complicated, so I'm unable to determine if it was reported before. I know there have been quite a few soulmate aspiration bugs. This is the scenario: I deleted the entire contents of...

I'm going to bite the bullet and start a clean game.. I'll report back if the issue is still present.
So, first question on the clean game. I actually re-downloaded the game, deleted everything from "\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4", except for "Tray", and started a new game with a character that was previously created from a default template and not a template saved from a game. I went to try saving that character from in-game via manage households>edit, and when it opened in CAS I noticed that the body was divided top and bottom and I'm wondering if this is normal or some residue from a mod I had. Pic is attached.
Before I get too deeply into a new game, I'd like to make sure this is the normal behaviour.
I would try renaming the entire user folder and then start over from scratch with nothing in your user folder to test this.
It looks a bit weird.
Now the game is saying that the character was created with custom content when it wasn't. It's a clean install with all mods disabled. I suspect one issue is that I switched between two user accounts on my computer when I was playing the game and there may be residual files from one or the other account. I can't see any other reason that this content is persisting like it is. It makes no sense.
I have already tried deleting everything in the user folder (several times before posting this) and that didn't work so I will try clearing all the info from both user accounts.

That would be the bug I was talking about earlier.
Re the picture: That looks like the line highlight-line that happens when you are mousing over the sim to quick select the pants/skirts tab in CAS.
Normally you wouldn't see it because of 3 reasons.
1) it only happens when you mouse over the sim while the clothing selection & accessories tab is open, not in the features/body editing tab.
2) normally you'd be choosing clothes in the tab rather than mousing over the sims and highlighting them
3) if your sim is wearing a top which covers the midriff then the line is hidden by said top, and so there's a very limited set of instances where you'd see the sharp highlight line across the middle
However if you aren't highlighting/mousing over the sim and that line showing up, then it would definitely be odd.PurplesShade wrote:

OK, thanks for letting me know. I was just trying to determine if that behaviour was the result of a mod, but if it is normal to see when mousing over the character (with no mods installed), it clears up that question.
