Sims 4 Skin Glitch

Okay let me just say before hand.

-I have no mods or custom content nor have I ever

-I'm on Windows 10

-I have looked pretty much everywhere on this website (and google for that matter) before posting this.

I have a "glitch?" in my game that made a townie, who spawned as a child, age up into a teen with this weird skin texture. It's Elsa Bjergsen

for those who know who she is. I aged her up and her skin is completely normal except for this box around her mouth that is a skin tone darker. 

I put the child version of her (how she spawned), the teen version, and the young adult version. The box is in in teen, young adult, and adult versions

of her. Elder and child are fine.

I don't know what to do. Everyone who seems to have something near this problem have custom content or mods. Their solution

is usually clear the cache. But my cache folder has NOTHING in it. And I've never had custom content or mods. Help someone?

  • Try this

    1. Open cheat console with ctl-shift-c
    2. Type: testingcheats true
    3. Type: cas.fulleditmode
    4. Shift click on the SIm and choose edit in cas

    Then change her mouth to something different and then click undo (I think undo should not get you the glitch back if it does, try something that approximately to what it is now.

    The cheat is a bit wonky so backup your save beforehand.

    I actually have tried that before because I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's just the mouth? But it didn't actually do anything. Even weirder is before I came here I exited out of the game without saving, so she was a child again, and tried aging her up again. Same thing. I've also tried right clicking the game in origin and clicking repair game. The last thing I tried was resetting the sim (it was a long shot but I was just hoping). I'm going to try your advice one more time. Outcome: didn't do anything. Dang it.

    I didn't have any issues with her in my game.

    Can you upload her to your gallery so I can check your version ?

    Of course! This is actually the first thing I put on the gallery so I have no idea how to link it to you but I just named it Bjergen and my name is Indeediant. I changed her face around a lot in the process of trying to fix the problem so she might look different. I tried changing her body too. Just anything I thought would work. Nothing has helped so far. Thanks for helping me.

    I'm sorry but I didn't have time yesterday. RL got in the way.

    I'll let you know.


    EDIT: @Indeediant Sorry it took so long. Try changing her cheek instead of mouth. That gets rid of it.

    This happened to me too. I aged up the same sim elsa bjergsen and the same box of diffrent color skin appered on teen, young adult and adult.
  • oh, that's an easy fix! If you open origin and click the sims 4 in your library, you'll see a small icon of a cog. click that and there will be a small menu, click repair and it basically redownloads the whole game but it does work, i had the same glitch yesterday except the boxes were red and white and also all over the skin

    Great advice @rpgervasio. While it wasn't an option back in 2017, it would be useful for readers in 2019. 🙂 I'll close the thread from here. If future readers run into this issue and the advice in this thread hasn't helped, please open a new/current thread for up-to-date advice. Thanks.
