Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.69.59.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them as of 2020
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Literally just use the tone slider on one of the warm skin tones.
What happens when the bug occurs? Basically when I use the tone slider in CAS (e.g I slide it left so that it looks more tan)...it works and the skin is changed. But when playing the game? It nothing like what it is in CAS.
What do you expect to see? You'll noticed a very light stripe down the sim's torso, and blotches on both the upper sides of their arms and their upper back. (The pictures shown were when my mods were turned off)
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The patch that introduced the skin tone adjustment feature.

So...ever since the new skin update came in, I was quite excited for it; essentially more customization was added. Though, when I used it, it had these weird blotches on my sim when I tried to darken it on any of the warm colors. I don't know if this was intended or not but if it isn't...I think it to be worth bringing that up. I know sims 2 or 3 had a thing where your sim would tan up if they went outside (whereas 4 just has them lie down to do it), but I don't know if that was the intent.

If anyone could look into this, please do so. Thanks and have a good day!

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have a male sim, neutral toned. In live mode there is a shadow on his face covering his left eye, nose, and part of his mouth. It doesn’t show in CAS, or the save file picture. Only in live mode
What happens when the bug occurs? He showed up on the lot with a shadow on his face that wasn’t there when I first placed him on the lot
What do you expect to see? Clearer skin tones, normal shadows.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I did not make any changes other than allow the new patch that includes more skin tones.

When I first placed my sim here I did not notice the major shadow on his face, but after a few hours in build mode, i returned and it was noticeable

@Keri326 Is this the only Sim that has this issue or do you have others ?

[crinrict]

@Discospider44 Did you test this without mods/cc installed ?

[Discospider44]

Yep, and I unfortunately still had the problem.

[crinrict]

@Discospider44 Could you upload the Sim to the gallery ?

[Discospider44]

Done; I called it "Basile (Forum help)"

I take it its to see if you have the same issue as well?

[crinrict]

From what I can tell it looks normal in my game

What are your ingame graphics settings ?

[Discospider44]

Interesting...so its must be just me if it's not having that issue with your game. Now I wonder what it is about mine that's different...

Here's my current settings. What do you think it might be?

[crinrict]

@Discospider44 There's a few people with weird coloring in different places. Can't say if it's related to the graphics card or the settings.

I'll test again later with your settings.
