[MAC] Makeup sliders don't work when sliding to the left

This bug is listed in the Archived Bug Reports as [Open], but I'm confused why it's not in the new Bug Reports area if it's still considered open, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong for reporting this. This change over is really confusing to me.

On Mac (latest OS on a 2023 Macbook Pro M3 Pro Chip) makeup and skintone sliders are still not working correctly after the newest patch. 

They only work when sliding to the right except for the Opacity slider on makeup which works both left and right. It has been that way since I switched over to Mac in April 2024.

I was hoping with the new tattoo sliders, the makeup sliders would be fixed finally for Mac, but they aren't. 

This was originally reported two years ago. I really wish it could get some attention.

  • CAS sliders have not worked properly for me for YEARS. Sliders will not darken skin tones, adjust the hue of makeup (when moved to the left, hue doesn't change), desaturate makeup (no change when slider's moved to the left), or darken makeup (again, no change when slider is moved to the left). I've had this issue when playing on my old MacBook & my current MacBook Air (M2, 2023, macOS Sequoia 15.5). I used to play on my husbands PC and did not encounter this issue. I have all EP's & all GP's except werewolves, Batuu & dine out. I've encountered this issue on my Mac both with CC installed and without having CC installed. This issue has popped up from time to time on this forum and the old one that EA used. I'd love for this problem to be solved so that I can actually properly use the base game's slider feature. I expect when to be able to use the entire slider to customize my sim rather than just the right side.

    No Mods/CC in my game when I took the screenshots. Sorry Knox. 

  • Another major update and two years later and this bug still seems to be a problem. I ended up adding darker swatches to all my makeup because my game is filled with melanated sims and I refuse to have them look crazy for two years straight lmao. I have the M1 chip for my 2020 Macbook. Does anyone have any updates from the Sims team?

    My cas sliders have been broken for years! I’m also on Mac and have been waiting for this bug fix for a very long time. It hasn’t even appeared on a laundry list.

  • Please fix this,  I cannot adjust my sims makeups or tattoos. The only thing that sort of works is opacity!
