White Rash Like Patches on Sim's Skin

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I downloaded the main Sim into the gallery affected by the skin issue. Only two sims in the game I have noticed have been affected but the one in the gallery is my main household.
What happens when the bug occurs? The issue is continuous and has only affected two sims. Suddenly white blotchy patches appeared on my sims skin. I have tried to take medicine and change his complexion to see if that might help but nothing so far has. You are unable to see the issue in CAS but once playing and taking photos in the game the spots are noticeable.
What do you expect to see? I would like my sim's complexion to return to normal
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 am new to the forum so I apologize ahead of time

  • @crinrict I feel like such an idiot now; I didn't have the uncompressed sim box in the game setting clicked, but as soon as I put that on and restarted the game the sim's complexion returned to normal. Thank you so much for your time!

  • @erinmaxwell Could you encircle on the picture what you mean ? It's a bit hard to tell what's the quality of the picture and what your issue is.

  • I took a closer up screenshot and circled it. I hope that helps. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but it covers the sim's entire skin and up close the markings look like discolored boxes with dots in the middle of them. I had this happen to one other sim but it's so subtle I didn't notice right away, then months later it appears on a different sim. I compared this one to some other played houses and these markings aren't showing up on others. Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots of this sim before the markings appeared. I have a goofy selfie in game, but the file was too large to fit here for comparison.

    Also, as for graphics they automatically are set to ultra with sim detail at very high. 

  • I tried to do a fresh save and pulled him from the public gallery, still had the same skin markings showing up. I also changed the skin tone to see what would happen, and when I selected a darker one I saw exactly like the issue you shared with me where the skin was covered in that extreme pattern. I tried a lighter tone and it still happens, though it's harder to see. The sim's name is Forrest Kobayashi.
