[ROM] [V] Occult eyes/features disappear when entering live mode
One Sim in my household that I play, his eyes will not stay the assigned color I give him, I do change them back in "CAS" or "Manage Household" but when I save and exit out of either of those, the eyes keep changing to a different color and not the one I picked. I need help or any solutions? I have tried all I could but nothing is working.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ
Just figured I’d share what I’m trying to do with my characters if that helps the process at all. I’m trying to use the occult eyes I believe they’re the vampire ones for one of my CC it’s the bright white with the light back ground. My other CC I was trying the bright red occult eyes. Changing them to any occult eyes does not seem to save and carry over after leaving the edit mode, but I can change them to the new reaper eyes from the reaper rewards event so that’s a plus.
I mainly have Spellcasters and the one I've had a year and a half has always had the yellow, and you were right about the update, and I've also seen many complaints about Vampires having issues also. The reaper eyes do work. But for some reason none of the Occult eye colors are working or majority of Occult features in general. Just wondering why Occult Sims are affected.
So I made this sims with Cheek and Eye Details added, at first it doesnt bug or anything but after several playhours, the Details keeps being removed from my sims. I tried several ways like using new game files like that but it keeps occuring.
I can trigger the bug too when I use mirror for changing my Sim appearance using "Change Sim" option
I also added new face details like in the picture
RED: The default that keeps being removed BLUE: Newest Face Details
And when I Clicked Done, this is my sim looks like
It only keeps the newest one ( I suppose Vampires Pack is the one that error)
I tried everything like deleting every Document files but it still keeps deleted, I even tried to use MCCC to just paste the appearance but it's too tiring, I tried to restart my game (Deleting old save file and start new game with the same sims) but the bug persist
I manually triggered it by having the sims go to work, and after they back to home with their career outfit still on, i save the game and exit to main menu. when I resume the game, those facial details were out (It's also gone everytime the sims goes to CAS whether it c just like what I told above)
None of my Spellcasters eyes are staying the Occult colors, I think it's mainly Spellcasters and Vampires having the issues. I've tried everything and they just keep going to a default base game color. I've done CAS and Manage Household and they still don't stay when I enter into live mode, they're back to a base game, human color. Seems like nobody can find a resolution to this until another patch update.
It’s most likely something to do with the coding maybe when they were setting up some of the new stuff it interacted with the existing coding and put something out of wack. I’m not sure how long it’s been an issue but I believe the week prior to all this I had changed one of my spellcasters eyes to the bright violet color and it carried over out of CAS so it had to be more recent that it’s started occurring. I’ve honestly started a whole new character and put my other households aging to off until it’s fixed. It was throwing me off so much my character doesn’t look right without the correct eyes.
At this point I’ve started a new character and put my households to aging off so I can just mess around with other sims. I also have a bad habit of getting lost in CAS and making random people I want to put into my neighborhoods. Pirates, wrestlers, goths, mr & mrs evil, mr & mrs robot (every outfit is a variation of the robot costume), my Star Wars family that’s never been to the Star Wars park because I just completely avoided leaving my favorite household to do so, & the endless amount of beautiful gallery people I absorb and edit into something completely different. I have a problem lol :’D but it’s a fun problem. “Also completely unrelated to this post if you guys have an issue with woohooing grim to just do so or get a grimborn child, you can enable the snuggle action either in a bed or a hot tub and then click woohoo and it will engage the action that way otherwise they just look at each other and cancel the action once it begins.” Lots of bugs with this one hope they get a patch soon but they have a lot to patch I’m sure they’re working on a solution just gonna take some time.
It's definitely frustrating but I know they will, they always do! In my opinion I think they rushed release this pack, hence the gameplay chaos. Every new pack comes with growing pains.
I play on ps4 and all my spellcaster families have issues where their eyes change to normal eyes when they should be occult and I'll go into CAS to fix it but I go back into playing again their eyes change to normal and the colors are always random. I have no doubt it'll do the same to my werewolf/vampire if I tried to play that. I have a bunch of different worlds I play for different types of sim variables and I am afraid I'll be spending a good amount of time fixing my main world and my spell caster world bc of this bug.
I really hope this gets fixed promptly bc I've lost interest in playing since it happened and I struggle enough with keeping interest in anything these days.
Yeah I didn't want to mess up my save files from before the update so I started new temporary save files in the meantime but it's been so long and it got really, really boring really, really fast without my favorite sims I created and their families born in live mode (which are all broken now) so I stopped playing.
All of my spellcasters' eyes have changed. I I'm holding off on playing my other occults because I'm afraid selecting them well erase their special facial features.
With my sims created before the 10/22/24 update I noticed it always happens on my teen and older vampires and spellcasters who are employed or have been employed at some point, and with teens and children it also happens when joining an after school activity or if they have ever joined an after school activity at any point. This happens to sims saved in my library as well as ones already in live mode before the update. It also happens with brand new sims I create after the 10/22/24 update once they get a job or join an after school activity. The eyes and vampire features on newly created sims will work fine until they get a job or after school activity and then I exit to manage worlds or enter cas in any way with or without the cheat cas.fulleditmode. I have noticed with brand new sims this bug has happened with active careers, such as the reaper and scientist career, as well as rabbit hole careers, such as the culinary career and the scout after school activity. I have high school years so it did not happen to my teens when I followed them to school but I did not test it with sending them alone. With my brand new sims it doesn't matter if my sims have actually gone to work or their after school activity at all. Once my sims joins a career or after school activity through the phone they automatically become bugged but I don't notice it until I exit to manage worlds or enter cas mode with them. I have not noticed this bug with vampires and spellcasters saved to my library before the 10/22/24 update that have never had any job or after school activity at any point.
Also mermaids saved to my library before the 10/22/24 update that had occult eyes on their human form, now have human eyes automatically when opening them in cas, and with those mermaids only, if I choose to copy the mermaid form face to the human form the occult eyes will get copied to their human form in cas, but the human form occult eyes automatically turn into human eye colors once I place them in live mode.
