[CD] [W] Black Pets/Werewolves (Lost texture after Patch 1.116.223/1.25)

Installed the new enchanted by nature expansion pack. Loaded up my current save, and my dog is not the same pattern as he used to be, he is now black and shiny?

Please ONLY use this thread if your pets went black with Patch 1.116.223 and were fine before this patch. The fix was NOT retroactive and all pets/Sims/werewolves that were already black will not be revert.

All posts that don't fit the criteria will be moved out. It's important for EA to know what's still going on.

  • I know the update was supposed to fix this, but I’m still experiencing these “shadow sims/pets” 

    My game IS updated, as the other fixes are working (like dragging items to trash cans,) and I have also repaired my game before playing. 

    I do not have any mods, but do have cheats enabled.

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions can be found here. Please also include a link to the thread the save is for.

    Thanks!

    In almost all the families in my save file that have pets (dogs, cats, and horses), they appear as blacked-out silhouettes. They show up in the family portrait as silhouettes and during gameplay. The only thing I have found to fix this solution is to replace the animal, but many families in my save have pets, and I dont know if it will happen again. Has anyone else had this problem?

     

  • I have just bought the Cats & Dogs add-on and since trying to use it, all of the pets have been having texture problems where selecting from adopting a pet or trying to create a pet for the household, they only load in full black or full white and they are unable to be customised. But there are times where some of the textures of the pets become patchy on the character but will go away back to being one full colour. Along with this, all the furniture and decorations are unable to be changed colours and stick to only being rainbow with a "?" symbol in the middle of it, and only some furniture/decorations can be placed.

    This issue was supposedly fixed but apparently not, as today I loaded into my game to find that my sim's collie was just a black void with eyes and a tongue. I did not use cc to paint her. The only way to remove the void is to go back into paint mode (not even fur/coat color or breed selector) and re-paint her, and doing so makes her start out as completely white. I can't get her to look exactly like she did before, so now my sims just have a new dog.

    EDIT: My horses and sims with custom tats/paint are black as well

  • My cats are voids too now. They're based on my late real ones so it's really sad to see them that way... I took a peek in the ClientDB file where their custom textures were placed and they were still there. AKA it's not lost from the Save... Exported those textures out in case this gets fixed.

    idk if i'm allowed to post images of other softwares here? just thought it'd help

    Same thing happening to my white dogs in the game. All were downloaded from the gallery. A shiny black malatise is not ok. 

  • So I was making some pets and I added some dogs I had already made to that household. But when that happened, the dogs were pitch black. I don’t have any cc and the cats weren’t affected at all. Please fix this.
