Yup. Occult eyes just change back to one of the normal colors in live mode, which is extremely annoying and frustrating for me as an occult player. I mostly play vampires and it's very frustrating that I have to use cc facepaint eyes just because the default ones, which I love, won't stay. Please, fix it. It may seem like more people prefer realism - but we still payed our money for this and it is very disappointing that we can't enjoy creating and playing occults without cc.
Edit: it also affects the skin details in occult eye/mouth/brow, scar categories etc. The eye cracks, everything from these categories (also werewolf skin details and get famous) just disappear upon saving the household. Not even in live mode - in the map, household tab, the changes already apply. This makes the creation of occults very disappointing.
The fact that facial features are also not saving is driving me nuts too. I've had to sacrifice several of my vampires' dark forms just so I can recreate what their "normal" form should be. Short of customizing every vampire eye color and facial feature so they're permanent, I don't know what else to do. I want my Sims to look scary because I *made* them that way, not because they've entered the uncanny valley!
