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

That1neChick​ Did you use paint mode on the dog ?

Hey all, 

For anyone experiencing this issue, we would like to take a look at saves from before yesterday's patch if you have them (steps for sharing your saves with us can be found here). 

We would also like to know if the affected Sim was downloaded from the gallery for our investigation. 

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, and they were 100% fine before the update. The same goes for the pets that were painted in paint mode.

My pet had been designed in paint mode and had gone like this.

Please send your before save.

Does anyone know how to restore the textures that went missing from the last patch? I know it was hotfixed but my pets still don't have their custom coats :(

As stated by EA_Cade, the latest "hotFix" patch was not retroactive and the customized textures on pets/horses/werewolves already impacted will stay that way. Their painted textures are forever lost and cannot be fixed. 

TIP from me; IF you have a backup of your game and save files (which is always recommended to do and to have), created BEFORE the BIG "NATURE IS CALLING" Patch, delete all your current, broken save files and add the ones from you backup. I did that and so far my pets and horses appear back to normal again. Yeah you will lose some of game progress BUT is much better that recreating all your lost pets/horses textures. - I do not have Business & Hobbies and therefore no "painted" tattoos usage and no black sims. 

I had a dog that was void black, but I managed to restore it by turning off custom paint. I don't think I'd even used any custom paint pattern on the dog, but just cancelling the custom paint mode restored my dog's normal fur texture.

yes but does not work on custom painted pets which is the main issue. Those textures are forever lost in current save files.
