My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console.

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.
Mixologist behind bar, but not tending it, unavailable for orders
Since the latest patch (Feb/2025), I’ve noticed mixologists aren’t readily interactable in community lots like bars and clubs. The bug seems to work like this: go to a community lot with a bar there’s a mixologist in the lot as you arrive try to order food or a drink the mixologist won’t fulfill your order, and will either stay behind the bar performing tricks or get into a conversation with townies and sit on barstools (if available) In the end, the result is that the mixologist won’t be available to take orders, despite being flagged as a service Sim (with their function in red font above their name). After a few Sim-hours, the bugged mixologist might get a thought balloon with the bar inside and resume their function correctly, but more often than not they’ll stay stuck in the 5/6 step above. The thought balloon might appear several times in a minute, without the mixologist resuming tending the bar and being available for orders. A workaround for this is to use resetSim on the mixologist if they get stuck in 5/6; doing so will reset all the Sims around the bar — understandable if the mixologist on step 6, but it also happens in 5. Occasionally the mixologist will be present, but unavailable as you arrive on the lot and stay that way until either you use resetSim or their shift ends, in which case a new mixologist will arrive and correctly tend to the bar and take orders.
[GRO] Random Milestone Moodlets
Both adult sims have milestone moodlets, but have never experienced those milestones. One has the Sting of Rejection (from Recalling a Milestone), the other has Hated and Sad About It and Bladder Blunder. I've checked both of their Milestone panels, and neither have milestones associated with these moodlets. I have also never seen these moodlets pop-up for either of them until today after updating the game. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.
Children 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.
