Custom Tattoo/Paint Tool Corruption - Sims and Pets Blacked Out
After loading into my save, every Sim and pet that had been modified using the custom tattoo or paint tool is completely blacked out in CAS and Live Mode. This includes humans, pets, and Sims that previously had functioning custom tattoos or paint layers. I don't want to be dramatic, but I'm so upset I could cry. I've spent years creating this save and these Sims. I just played in my save file yesterday, and it was completely fine.
I'm not sure if this may be related to a different current open bug that I reported after Custom Tattoos were introduced into the game, where I repeatedly received a pop-up stating that I had reached the custom tattoo limit in my game - even though I hadn't. The bug prevented me from using the custom tattoo or paint tools further, but also seemed to make it so that all tattoos I placed on Sims couldn't be deleted anymore. Every time I would place just a regular tattoo on a Sim's body part, I couldn't remove it. I could delete it, but if I switched to different outfit category the tattoo would reappear. If I deleted it and exited CAS the tattoo would reappear on my Sim in Live Mode. I also have recently experienced visual glitches on my Sims clothing because of accessory layering. I'm assuming that the game can't handle all of these things interacting together. Is it safe to assume that this is also going to be an issue with Fairy paint ability? I play on PS5 so don't have any mods/cc in my game. This issue persists across multiple households in the same save. I'm attaching images for reference.
