Please describe the patch or change you made. i just updated my game today and have never had this problem before

Today after updating my game, all my sims are covered in red and white chequered question marks. I've never had this problem before and can't see a reason why its happened or how to fix it. 

I've repaired the game on Origin as i seen this was suggested to someone else with a similar problem but this didn't work.

I have the same issue but I cant repair it because origin wont load anything! I even changed my router. Nothing.

@Quill1010 That all points towards a faulty installation.

If Origin doesn't load, try clearing Origin cache: https://crinrict.com/blog/2014/09/delete-origin-cache-files.html

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to play a household/ Play a household/ Interact in live mode at all
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sims skin goes Red/White, eyes go Red, and there are random question (?) marks everywhere. It doesn't leave if you pan out of the sim. Sometimes it appears on the sims avatar on the bottom but sometimes it does not. It doesn't affect every Sim, very random selection. Doesn't just affect active household but townies walking around can also have it.
What do you expect to see? A normal Sim skin color.
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. After the most recent one. I think it was an update made at the beginning of September or late August.

I've seen this issue on a forum on a Facebook group but I can't find it on here as already being addressed.

Hello !

 

After the last update (which I did this week) I had 2 issues:

 

1. In build mode- when I want to select "roof pattern" I can not. When I click on "roof pattern" it says to me - "no result found". In addition, there are houses where the roof has disappeared.

 

2. In built sim mode- I have a number of additional problems, for males it is not possible to choose eye shape type, nose shape type, cheek type, head shape type, chin type. This is because there is no choice at all.
A similar problem for female design - there are fewer choices of nose shape, mouth shape and eyes. And choices for chin shape, cheek shape and head shape do not exist at all.

 

I have attached a PDF file where you can see the problems I mentioned.

Thank you!
