Some of my sims spawn in looking like they are covered in sand. It's very strange. I'm not sure what's happening, I've tried resetting them, exiting and entering the game, moving lots. everything. :\

    Remove all your mods and custom content out and delete the Localthumbcache.package and run the game to see if your sims are still looking like sand. You will need to do the 50 50 method to find the mod and / or custom content item(s) that's causing the issue for you.

    @jadah1234 Judging from your first image this is possibly an issue with custom skintones. I'm going on the fact that you can see the female nipples being painted over the clothing. The way skintones work in the game was altered to work with tanning and burning and not all CC skintones are currently compatible.
