I've had the same problem with both my toddler and children sims. I've found that if I apply the details while they're in the "everyday" outfit category, the details stick throughout all the other outfit categories. This includes exiting and re-entering CAS.

Hi, just a note that I'm having this issue now. All up to date, both with and without mods/cc. Other toddler Sims in the same household have had skin details without problem, but this one (toddler A) just won't.

 

I made another toddler (toddler B) in the household and that toddler ( B ) could use skin details properly. I deleted the bugged toddler ( A ), at which point the new toddler ( B ) also became bugged and could not use the skin details properly.

 

If I again make a third toddler ( C ),they work fine but the second toddler ( B ) remains bugged.

 

I removed toddler B and made a fourth toddler (toddler D). Now, both toddlers C and D can use skin details properly.

 

They're all (half) mermaids, but I don't think that's the issue here given the people with the same problem had it prior to that.

 

Note: I kept playing with it from there and it seemed to be pretty random. Sometimes the randomised twin worked with skin details, sometimes not. Sometimes a differently generated toddler worked with skin details, sometimes not. There didn't seem to be any logic to it.

 

My save is here, they'll look a bit wacky without the CC but the same is happening with the EA skin details (and without my mods folder in and caches cleared etc) https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjmIPAGbIe7QhE6CcQRflcYmZemX?e=BUiNAV @SimGuruNick

@Anonymous Same here! My toddler sims who are currently having this problem are all four mermaids, so that may have to do with the bug. And it’s very weird because, like you said, three of the four will be able to keep their skin details. It’s toddler number four who looses them outside of cas.

Try swapping to "Swimwear" when you're making the changes. Like a previous comment mentioned, changes to toddler skin details made when the default outfit isn't active don't seem to stick. For most toddler sims, switching to Everyday lets the changes stay,  but for mermaids, it looks like it's Swimwear. I was having this issue with mermaid toddlers until I started swapping to Swimwear, and I haven't had any issues since.

All skin details dissapear kids

★★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Svenska
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Eco Living and Realm of magic
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a kid in your household. Go to edit household. Put a skin detail on the child (ex. freckles). Then change to another sim or go into live mode. All skin details are gone.
What happens when the bug occurs? (This happened both when I removed CC and when I didnt) All skin details on the child dissapears. This still happens if I restart the game. I have a pair of twins and this only happens with one of them. They had the exact same skin details equipped (spelling??).
What do you expect to see? That the skin details do not dissapear from the kid when I change to another sim or load into live mode.
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 

It started to happen when the kids got aged up to kids, and I think it just happens with kids. because I havent seen it with adults.
