Ideas
After some more testing:
- Infants get smaller eyes when growing them up to teen in CAS, making a tiny change in the face (nose or chin or something unrelated to eyes), and then making them back into an infant => The eyes shrinked. But this did not happen to all my infants, mostly those that are longer in my game already.
- Similarly toddler faces change when doing above CAS procedure, here it can affect head shape, eyes, nose shape), but for me it seems to happen again mostly to those toddlers that are a long time in my save already, all those that are from the pre-infant time.
This also happens on a save file that has not been touched in the last broken patch and is from before the first business and hobbies patch.
I assume these older infants and toddlers might have had some genetic inconsistencies from patches years ago and thus looked cuter than they are supposed to? In the current patch they have less cute features (smaller eyes, wider noses, rougher head shapes, a bit of a fold between the eyes that make them look slightly angry). But as mentioned it is mostly affecting long existing toddlers and infants. Maybe it's time to age them up 😅
It's not just about old sims I created these new sims from genetics and randomizing they all looked weird. This bug effects new sims too. I’ve missed cute infants….
