White spots, marks, patterns, markings all over Sim

    @queenlypeanuts  This is usually a custom content issue, and it could definitely be caused by cc tattoos, even though the pattern is widespread.

    Before doing anything else though, are you running the game in laptop mode and/or is the uncompressed sim textures box unchecked?  Please try checking that box and disabling laptop mode, at least temporarily.  Even if your computer can't handle the higher settings, it's useful to know whether this helps.

    If it doesn't, or you can't play with those settings, try using the 50/50 method to sort through your custom content.

No, not in laptop mode. 

The uncompressed sim textures box was checked, I decided to try it with the box UNchecked also, but that didn't help either.

I tried removing all tattoos, and that didn't help either. I will just have to check out all the other CCs. Thanks.

    Okay. 

    So when I removed all her make up, the problem resolved. It appears that it was caused by one of the CC make up items, so I will just add them back in one by one now to work out which one was causing it.

    Thank you!
