Skin Effects Glitch

I don't know if this has been reported yet but there's this weird glitch happening to my female sim in the game. I was creating a new sims in cas when I noticed that the new skin effect texture was glitching into weird patterns and making my entire sim look shiny, not just the skin but hair and clothes as well. I noticed this happened only to my female sim and it doesn't go away in live mode either.

I play on the ps5 and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this and whether there was a way to fix it or if I'm jusy cursed to have an extremely shiny sim until it's patched.

    thesupersilly​  Have you perhaps used the short dirty nails on this sim?  I ask because there's a bug report about it here:

    [CONSOLE] Short dirty nail swatch causing Sim to look metallic | EA Forums - 12299478

    Some users are saying the nails don't have this effect until they also choose the new shine skin detail, but that removing the nails fixes it, in case that helps.

    If your issue is the same, let me know and I'll merge your post with that thread.

    This is happening to one of my Sims - no CC or mods. Not using the short dirty nails. Also happening to a family member - same set up, no short dirty nails.

    Sorry I'm late on this! Here's a couple pictures. The Sim is uploaded to simchild's gallery and is the Winslow family. Or here's a link also

    It comes and goes so they couldn't be saved to the gallery looking like this. Sometimes it goes away if you zoom in and out or vice versa. Sometimes it only happens to them when you're zoomed out and once you zoom in close it goes away and they're fine. In the second picture it has went away but the UI headshot is still all glitched.

    heyjedikitty​ do you only have it on the career outfit ?

    Can you send me your save ? The uploaded sim doesn't have a job and hence no career outfit.

    Eek, she does have a career - she's level 8 in the new one from Enchanted By Nature, maybe 9. She was working at home with clients when I took the screenshots. I will send you the save file through message! Because it's happening so randomly, this is maybe going to be hard to recreate, I'm afraid.

    Hi heyjedikitty​ 

    I've checked her work outfit and that does indeed have the dirty nails.

    You can switch them out with this cheat: sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas

    This should take you to CAS with the work outfit. Go to nails and change them. Save the changes.

    Let me know if that fixes the issue.

    I forgot to check her over - she is actually my family member's Sim that the same issue has been happening with. You're right, and I see now she's got dirty nails beyond the career outfit as well. I missed seeing the nails when they showed me it happening with various outfit states on their PC. I'm very sorry about that misinformation!

    So it's my Sim that doesn't have dirty nails. (for sure now, haha, and she doesn't have a career) I haven't played enough lately to gather screenshots of this happening to her yet.

    Thanks a lot, we'll see how things go from here. :)
