Makeup and tattoo swatch indicator revert to first swatch instead of selected

When applying any item in CAS, a green indicator appears around the swatch of the selected item. Ever since the update I've noticed that whenever I apply makeup in ANY category (eyes, eyeliner, cheeks, lips and facepaint) that the green indicator would work correctly, but once I click away the swatch and sliders tab and reopen it again, the indicator would reappear on the first swatch of the item even if that was not the swatch that I selected. I've noticed this to be the case with all categories of tattoos as well, which leads me to believe this issue might be due to the newly added tattoo opacity sliders, as this glitch is only present with CAS items that have sliders. I've included some photos that showcase the indicator on the correct swatch when it was just chosen in the before, and clearly on the wrong swatch in the after photos. This is a really specific and small issue but I hope someone else sees what I see.

    After the latest update about a week I didn't experienced this problem at all. But just yesterday night, it started happening and I feel like I have been cursed 😭😭 I was playing fine and then I used some MCCC commands like pasting tray sim and cop/paste CAS, flag and dresser features (because I had to start with a completely new saves, so I needed my main 2 sims back). I saved the first sim to my tray files at this point I didn't notice anything nor thought this could occur to test it. Not until the second sim (pasted from tray files using MCCC), I went to CAS and this problem appeared. So I spent hours removing files and cleaning my folder to figure out which caused it but the results left me speechless.

    What were tested:

    1. Fresh "The Sims 4" folder, with saves (created only hours earlier), tray and Mods
    2. with CC and mods, removed recently saved families in my gallery, with saves and tray
    3. no CC or mods, removed recently saved families in my gallery, no saves. with tray
    4. completely new "The Sims 4" folder, no saves, no mods, no tray (+no option.ini file)

    And in none did the tattoo swatch indicator worked for me :"(

    So far this has become one of the worst bugs I have ever encountered. It somehow still happens without any saves, adjusted settings, mods, etc. (completely new "The Sims 4" folder).

    It just randomly started while I was playing after the tattoo update. Not immediately after I updated but days after that. I have never seen my tattoo and makeup categories working ever again

    Really hope one day we'll be cured from this curse.

    When I open accessories I have to go through every type individually. It'll show me only necklaces or only bracelets when I go on the all accessories tab, so I have to go through each type individually

    hoping to bump this thread as this has been the most agitating bug for me in awhile. the only fix i found was removing more color sliders ui by thepancake1 and mizoreyukii, but cas is near impossible without it for me now so i'm thugging it out
