Muscle tone not properly displaying in CAS and live mode

I've been playing The Sims 4 on PC for 10 years, and I have encountered with this bug 8 days ago for the first time ever.

When I upload my Sim to Gallery directly from live mode, her muscles are showing properly in CAS. Her muscles slider is up to maximum, and her weight slider is down to minimum, she's been very active in the gym. But, when I pick up her muscles slider and "move" it up, her muscles shrink and now appear like half the size.

But in live mode, when I save her in CAS and start a new game, in both cases, her muscles appear the same - from a distance, they appear normal - but from close up, the muscles are gone, and she appears like having no muscles.

I have reset The Sims 4 folder, I have repaired the game, I have deleted all cache, I've got no mods nor cc.

    I wouldn't claim it's 100% the same. The situation is like this, and it's a bit complicated.

    I've got Sims who have maxed their muscle mass and have no fat in the live mode. When I upload them to my library, and then put them in the CAS, they look normal. But, when I start a new game with them, their muscles are totally not shown in the live mode.

    But, if I put them from my library into the CAS, and "move" the muscles slider up (their muscles slider is already at the top, and their weight slider is fully down), they get about 50% reduced muscle mass in the CAS, although the muscles slider is still at the top, and CAS doesn't register it as a change. And when I start a new game with them, the muscle tone is now properly shown in the live mode, although it is reduced like 50% from what it should really be.

  • One more thing. When I place the Sim from CAS in an existing game, and she practices in gym for couple of days, only her upper body, like shoulders and arms, become larger and more muscular, which creates a disbalance in her body appearance. But, then when I save her to my library, put her in CAS, and click on the fat slider to "move it down", her hips and thighs now become larger and more muscular, as they should be.
