[GF] Sims distorted after using styling chair (Patch 113.277/2.08)

Unfortunately the latest patch that was supposed to fix this, has not fixed it, the problem still exists in exactly the same ways :(

Issue:

  1. When a Sim (especially for teens this is strongest observable) uses the "ask for Hair style.." interaction on the styling chair, and then uses "keep style" => Their body distorts. Sometimes it happens with a slight delay, sometimes directly when tapping keep style. Best to make a screenshot in CAS before and after:
    1. Chin gets shorter
    2. Shoulders get narrower
    3. Breasts smaller
    4. Hips narrower
    5. Waist narrower
    6. Legs thinner
  2. Additionally when the teen has an animation running like checking their phone during one of the hairstyle animations, it bugs out and the styling stops while the hair gets stuck on the Sim without using keep style.

I'm on the latest patch, have tested this without mods, multiple times for several hours with pre-existing Teens but also with a fresh teen from the gallery, all had the same issue.

Before / After screenshot. Since I couldn't use mods I couldn't make her bigger to see the difference even stronger, but I think even like this it is already quite visible :(

I'm on Mac right now (but had the issue on PC too) and have all packs.

    Also adding to my observations: It seems to often affect the teens chin, but most of the time if I had ever changed the Teen in CAS with the normal sliders, those areas will also morph (most of the time all becoming slimmer / narrower). Example video when I changed my teen making legs, hips, waist and arms wider, they all get affected, including the chin, once I "keep style" on either the Styling chair or when I get a tattoo on the tattoo table: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nFwc0gsv6X8mKlJeCYyNkdSi-zYDPBWz/view?usp=sharing
