[BH] Getting custom tattoo switches to Sim/Households

When coming out of CAS in Live Mode, a different Sim is selected than the Sim that entered CAS. This will switch households if a Sim is receiving a custom tattoo in Hobbies & Skills from the Sim giving the tattoo to the Sim that has received the tattoo.

The bug occurs when giving a custom tattoo to a Sim in a Played Household but does not occur when giving a custom tattoo to a Sim in an Unplayed Household.

As for the general CAS reset, it appears to occur with the aforementioned tattoo issue as well as any form I use to enter "Change Sim" CAS. When entering "Plan Outfit" CAS it occurs whenever there are multiple selectable sims (i.e. with dressers and mirrors, but with the not with the walk-in closet).

I went to a tattoo shop with my sim and asked for a custom tattoo to the shop owner.
After selecting the tattoo in the CAS, My game go back in the tattoo shop but my sim wasn't on the terrain. In the HUD she's displayed just like if I was at home but she was at the tattoo shop. I can't do anything with her.

Going in the world view and selecting my sim again, fixed the issue

Could you please provide the following information

Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.

To be sure, there was no household switching involved like this: [BH] Getting custom tattoo switches to Sim/Households | EA Forums - 11971969 ?

Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

- Delete the ones you have
- Trigger the error again
- Check if new ones are created
- If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.

I'm not using any CC or mods
Also the issue is not exactly the same since my sim is alone in his family but I guess if it's a similar bug
I don't have any Last Exception file in my documents folder
