Request to Restore Pre-Update Face Appearance

My character’s face has deteriorated to the point of looking like a different person.  It looks like a zombie.
Dances that used to produce heart marks were enjoyable just to watch, but now they are only creepy.

The attached images show the pre-update face on the top and the post-update face on the bottom. 

In Season 1, I was able to create a clean, pale-skinned face. After the update, even though I kept the same face, dark shading appeared around the eyes and nose. I thought a new feature had been applied, but there is no setting to remove it. Looking closely, even the eyelashes and nose shape have changed.
The overall color, including the mouth, is far too dark and cannot be lightened.

From a distance, the eyes and nose stand out unnaturally, and the face now looks sickly and unclean, like that of an addict. The body’s pale skin tone has also been reduced by one option.

Changing every graphics setting goes without saying, and none of it makes any difference.
I cannot understand why the original appearance was not preserved, or why the facial visuals were degraded.
It looks as if an amateur tampered with it.I demand the addition of a feature that restores the character’s appearance to the Season1 version. 

I had been looking forward to Season 2, but this ruined it instantly.I paid for the bus because I liked the face I had created before the update and it made me want to get other outfits and gestures.
If my face looked as ugly as it does after the update, I would not have paid. I want my money back.
It feels like a betrayal.
If this is not fixed, I will quit.

    My character's appearance changed significantly. My character actually looks way more realistic and honestly way more attractive than how I look in real life, that was my takeaway from it lol. My immersion isn't ruined, that's just how Skate thinks that I would look if I was in the Skate universe - immersion preserved. 

    I'm not sure what fine-tuning you're referring to, there's no sliders, all the face customisation is made of pre-existing features. I get you put work into how your character looks, but mate - all of us did. Your situation is not special, and this is definitely not a bug.

    There is nothing wrong with the tanned male character you created.
    I’m simply envious.
    If I had made a male character, I would never have written a post like this.
    You’re missing the point.
    I never once called it a bug.
    It’s nothing more than a “technical issue” I can’t understand.
    I have nothing more to say.

  • I'm crying, my character looks really ugly now 😭😭😭 That was the only thing that motivated me to play this game besides the gameplay which is on point ngl, but now I'm sad. ☹️ Please add the options that The Sims 4 has to create a character. And please add clear skin without imperfections.

    It's not a technical issue, this is an intentional change to the game with no reported technical flaws in it's implementation. 

    I know exactly what you're saying, the issue is that you haven't shown what the problem is, we have no idea the degree of how much your character has changed, if there is something actually technically wrong, you must actually show what that looks like.  If you constantly take pictures of what your character used to look like, then you just have to take a photo of what they look like now and you've got the same before and after that I just posted.

    He posted images of the changes to his character. As did xSnitch64​. Looking at those images, u're gonna say that there's nothing wrong with the changes? Besides, with a male character, u can't tell the difference, but with a female character, it's obvious. All the shading they added around the nose makes my character look like she has a pig nose and the skin color went WAY too dark. Even with the lightest option it's too dark. I lowered my graphics and all that did was make her ugly and pixelated.
