Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (after 1.102.190/1.82)
Please use the following threads if you still have issues. Black Photos (Patch 1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12878373 Paintings go white after putting them in inventory/Reloading game (1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12879032 My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.43KViews1559likes574CommentsSims wear default underwear/AA shorts when naked
When sims are supposed to be nude or have more revealing clothing the salmon colored (hideous btw) underwear from CAS body edit mode is showing. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title Note from EA_Solaire: Hi all, This issue was fixed for Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims, however it is not a retroactive fix and any previously made Sims will still have clothing visible under their privacy mosaic. While this issue is still being investigated, you can fix this for pre-existing Sims by first uploading your impacted households into the Gallery to save them, deleting the household from your world, then replacing the household in your world from the Gallery. Once you replace them from the Gallery, that will clear up any issues with the privacy mosaic. Note by Crinrict: For PC/Mac users you can use this mod to fix all your already broken Sims with a simple command: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/other-mods-reset-bathing-outfit You can remove the mod after doing so.27KViews874likes336CommentsChildren won't inherit their parents nose/mouth (bug in genetics)
If I mould a Sim into a certain mouth and nose shape, then these are not inherited correctly and never are. It is as if these specific sliders are not taken into account for inheritance. This bug has also been around since 2015 or so and I have it with and without mods, in new and old savegames. There was a mod for a while that fixed it but it hasn't worked since toddlers came out. I'm honestly also surprised that no one has ever reported this bug. Or maybe it was reported but didn't get enough me toos. But since I couldn't find it in the search, I thought I'd just report it myself and hope that it might get fixed at some point. Because it's really frustrating. Here is an example of what I mean. I have the exact same sim twice in CAS for testing purposes and use it once as a father and once as a mother. This means that the child should actually be almost identical to the parents. But it is not. These are not small, random deviations because every single child has a much wider and larger nose and a differently curved mouth.

Hello, Since my bug report been archived and lost in the deep mountain, I restart a new one with all the updated ressources. TESTED WITH AND WITHOUT MODS/CLEAN SAVE, THIS BUG OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I am a modder and an animator and it seems that the eyelids doesn't translate correctly in the game like it used to be since this bug was introduced, and it's still there with the new patch. When the sim looks downside, the bottom eyelids don't move at all, making sims looks creepy (the eyes go inside the eyelid). I did some animations with the eyelids moving down while the eyes are looking down, and the animation from the eyelids doesn't translate correctly in the game at all. It affects any animations in the game right now. This is an example using CAS with maxis animations, where the eyes aren't closing completely due to the eyelids animations not translating correctly in the game. Before the eyelashes patch, they were closing just fine. Gifs with the bug : This is a gif from 2022, so without the bug : Maxis animations : Custom animation : For developpers/animators : I did another test, just to show you how terrible this thing is. For this test, I did a simple sleeping pose I will use to demonstrate the bug, because unfortunately it's the only way to explain the issue more properly, by comparing in an animating program and then how it translates in the game. To achieve this result in the game with the eyes being closed like this : In a posing/animating program, I had to do this : There is clearly an error of how the eyelids translate in the game since the lovestruck patch. I'd like to know if maxis is aware of this issue and if they will fix this, as it affect every animations in the game. If I'm closing the eyes as usual in the program, this is the result I get in the game : And no, it's not the program fault. This happens since the lovestruck patch and again, it affects all the animations from the game, even the vanilla ones. I believe a data from the eyelids or something similar has been touched and it needs to be reverted back.

Steps to Reproduce: Start a new save or load an existing one. Go to any public lot and observe the generated townies. Check the outfits they are wearing. Expected Result: Townies should spawn in outfits that look intentional and coherent (matching style, clothing category, and overall appearance). Actual Result: Townies often spawn in outfits that are completely mismatched, with clothing items from unrelated categories (e.g., workout shorts with formal tops, clashing accessories, hats or random items thrown together that look horrible). This creates unrealistic and immersion-breaking appearances. Notes: It seems like the game is pulling clothing items at random without checking if they work together. Note from EA_Solaire: Hello all, If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

Nose colors are no longer available for werewolves, and for any existing werewolves itll reset as soon as you bring them into cas. I of course have no mods or cc in my game right now as its right after the update. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title. Please add tags for packs yourself.20KViews520likes222CommentsShopping cart notification blocking UI
Since the last patch I have had continual popups show up on the shopping cart icon, promoting the, Grange Mud Room kit. I used to get a popup every now and again advertising this and that, but now it happens, every time I travel with a sim, every time I enter and leave CAS, every time I go into edit world. It covers in game notifications and is very distracting. At first when I enter the game there is noting on the cart for about 5 minutes, then the light shows up and the popups begin. I am playing on PC, in a completely vanilla game that has never had mods/CC installed. I have all Expansion, game and stuff pack and also have most kits. I am finding this situation to be very invasive in my gaming time and it is putting me off playing and definitely putting me off purchasing any more kits or up and coming packs. Note from EA_Solaire: Hi all, Just a quick update - we've made some tuning adjustments for the notification that appears under the shopping cart. These tuning changes will impact the variety, frequency, and duration of these notifications. If these notifications don't clear out after about 10 seconds, please create a new bug report so we can continue to investigate. Thank you!

The accessories tabs (for both face and body) and makeup tabs in CAS are currently only including content from the first option in the next list; piercings, bracelets, and eye makeup respectively.

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.

I was worried this would happen as soon as they said tattoos could be customized. When I save a sim that's had anything done to them in paint mode, if I drop them in CAS again the skin or fur turns completely black and is unable to be corrected. This happens with pets and their fur and werewolves and their fur. I've asked for this bug to be fixed before, and there was never a solution. And now it's affecting sims with custom tattoos too.
