Shiny and pixeled Sim -Enchanted by Nature

After purchasing Enchanted by Nature my sim turns shiny, much like the skin overlay that was added. (Or they  actually look like one of those mimes out on squares acting like a golden statue that you can have your picture taken with for a small fee.) I have not added the skin overlay in CAS and this usually happens after I have played for a while, half an hour or so but if I restart the game it turns back to normal. It often happens when my sim is energized but not always. My sim is human, not a fairy if that matters. I have tried playing other old saves but it is not happening there, just the new one. I have a few mods but they have all been updated. (MC Command, TwistedMexis betterbuildbuy and UI cheats extensions.)

Another thing that also happens and this happens also only in the new save and straight away, not after playing for a while. My Sims gets all pixeled when I move the camera slightly away. It only happens to my sim, not the townies. I have a very high end gaming tower with a good graphic card etc. so I know that is not the issue. (Also as I said, just the new Enchanted by Nature save is affected.)

    Yes when I zoom out a bit and my sim gets pixeled it looks like that photo. But it is normal in CAS, just in live mode.

    The shiny thing is different though and that affects the sim and the UI picture in the left corner. I will take a picture next time it happens and post it.

    I am using the new dirty fingernails nail. I will try that. After playing again for a while my Sim turned shiny again. Got a screenshot.

    So went into CAS and removed the fingernails. Went back into live mode and the shiny thingy was gone. I have to play for a while to see if that was the problem as it does not always happen right away. Hopefully this was the problem, will keep you posted.

    My sim is working in the naturopath career and was finally able to see clients at home. She changed into her work outfit and then the shiny overlay started again. I just made her change her outfit and it got back to normal. So the work outfit is definitely broken for me.

    The work outfit probably still has the nails.

    I'll merge this.
