[V] Caleb Vatore's eyes broken genetics

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in?: English
How often does the bug occur?: Every time at this point, even when making new game files.
What is your current game version number? 1.113.297.1020

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?:
   Expansion Packs: 
Growing Together, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, 
   Game Packs: Vampires, Werewolves, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Dream Home Decorator
   Stuff Packs: Crystal Creations, Paranormal, Tiny Living, Fitness, Bowling Night, Backyard, Romantic Garden, Spooky, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Moschino, Vintage Glamour

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Not sure, it only has happened when using adult mod. But I never had this issue with mods.
What happens when the bug occurs?: Caleb's customized eyes revert to his template version: they become small and differently shaped. This also happens if he is cured of vampirism.
What do you expect to see?: I expect to see Caleb's eye shape remain the same despite his age.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?: I Do, but I'm sure they're not the problem since again, I never had this issue with mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?: Not Really Until Now.

Please describe the patch or change you made.: I have no idea how to explain this clearly, I did read that someone else had this issue but it was back in 2017, and they had no mods. This issue surprisingly doesn't happen on his Dark Form. Only his normal form. Caleb's my favorite of all Sims and its heartbreaking to see him have this issue, and it even comes up within Live Mode. Heck using MCCC didn't help the issue when freezing his appearance to keep it how it is.

I did take some shots to show what I mean.

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old bug report.

  • This is also happening to me, I’ve found several Reddit threads reporting the same issue. My Caleb has these strange eyes in his normal form, his dark form is fine, but as soon as I try to make any edits to his dark form, his eyes also change there.

    Yes I've also had the issue with Caleb eyes and its extremely annoying. I notice it mostly when aging him down. I never play with him much cause of this. Don't wanna pass the eye glitch to kids. Wish this would of been fixed a while ago. But all occults in this game have issues. I've tried a game with and without mods. I've tried changing him to a human in cas before aging him down and eyes still change. If anyone has a fix it would be great.

  • This issue has been around for years. I made new folder for only testing this issue. When creating Sim, I choose pre-made Sim, June Kay for comparison. The Kay's face parts of have been modified in almost the same places as the Caleb's. Below are pics of the default and modified eyes, clearly showing the changes for each sim.

    In CAS mode, I changed Kay's Life Stage and checked the changes to her parts. None of her parts were reverted to their defaults, remaining modified.

    As for Caleb, other players have already reported on his changes in Life Stage, so I'll skip that part. However, strangely, after restoring Caleb's nose to its default state and then clicking an undo, his eyes somehow changed. They were neither the modified nor the default. However, when I clicked on the eye, the default eye displayed by the game was the same as the one displayed when I clicked on the modified eye. This third eye then appeared after drinking a cure potion in live mode.

    And, I found in other data I played a while ago, if a baby born in the game has Caleb's genetics assigned to baby's eyes, that baby will have these extremely small pupils when the baby ages into an infant.

    Play on PC via EA app, no MOD/CC, version 1.121.372 (only infant's pic took in Jan.16.2026)
