Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All to the date
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a vampire from a teen (other age groups may also work) or make a teen vampire (not vampire may also work) to grow up
What happens when the bug occurs? The body shape of a grown sim or/and vampire alternate form randomly changes, not a weight or muscle mass - a SHAPE.
What do you expect to see? The body shape must stay constant!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Recently I have noticed that the body shape of a vampire alternate form (dark form) was different from that of original form. it wasn't a big deal, because 1) you can copy the look of original form to alternate form without cheats or mods or any big efforts; 2) it's an ALTERNATE form after all, it can be explained gameplay-wise.
But then I've played with this teen-vampire longer and when she became young adult I've noticed her ORIGINAL body (and ears) were also changed! Here are the screens (it's a female just because you can better see this on females, nothing more):
BEFORE AFTER
This Sim was fully created by game, I haven't make any customizations to it. I have only made her dark form look like original after I've found out it differs. Now, the dark form looks like it should, and the original form is altered!
Of course some will say people changes with aging. My friends, women breasts don't grow smaller, naturally, I mean. THAT smaller at least. ALSO take a look to the EARS. Wow, that's not explainable at all.

I had a save before the "birthday" - just in case I wouldn't get gold So when I realised what happens, I used this save to experiment with all possible workarounds that came to my mind, removing all mods included.

I've also tried changing age through CAS. This way, ears don't change. But other than that - feet, breasts, legs - all change, but not randomly, it's always the same form. Breasts become smaller, belly become flatter, feet (!!!) become smaller/shorter, legs become bigger/wider.
It seems something is now broken in the connection between different forms. Vampire dark form supposed to alter only face, while alien disguise is pretty independent from original form. Now, vampire dark form behaves more like alien disguise, and this in turn also somehow influences aging and through aging - even the original sim form. IMO.
P.S. It's not an vampire-alien hybrid on the screenshots. It's absolutely legal and official alien-normal sim-vampire hybrid, i.e. alien and normal sim offspring with no alien powers became a vampire.

Unfortunately, yes, I think a sim needs to be played, you can't replicate the bug just with CAS
I've noticed something else: before aging, I've entered CAS and changed the age manually. The body shape was changed to the new one, but aging down to teen resulted in the body shape restoring. After aging, when aging down to teen in CAS the body shape won't restore, the teen will have the new/changed body shape of Young Adult.

What do you mean? All of them? This is not the only case.

In all cases I've fixed this bug with the help of MCCC mod. So I don't have anything in my game atm. I will make another save when I run into this bug again, or maybe someone else will find and share another instance of it.
