@carabrae Just go to your library, right click on The Sims4 portrait and there should be an option to "repair" it.

@carabrae Merged your post with the master thread on this. If repairing doesn't work, try the other suggestions on the first page.

The Sims 4 University - skin tones

★★★ Newbie

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? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City living, Island living, Cats and dogs, Seasons, Discover university Parenthood, Realm of Magic, Outdoor retreat kids room stuff, toddler stuff, laundry day, movie hangout
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims skin tone doesn't appear and is instead replaced by red and white square, similar to if CC is installed incorrectly.
What do you expect to see? The sims still functions but the skin doesn't appear.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I installed the latest patch (November 12th) and discover university.

This only started to happen when I installed the update and university and I have tried restarting but it still continues. Some sims are okay but many have this problem, it even happens with EA sims that came with the pack.

The red and white and question marks on your sims usually means that you're missing a mesh for cc. Did you have any cc on your sims?

@HeyImMonkey Coudl you try repairing the game through Origin ?

That should get rid of the checkboard.

As you are on a Mac, i'm going to leave this separate for now to see if you have further issues after repairing. Macs got some problems currently.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Download the current update
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sims come out checkered with red and white. The pool has questions marks, the lighting is purple and many more issues. It's as if the update did not complete.
What do you expect to see? Regular Sims 4 game as I did before the update

Please describe the patch or change you made. Update on 11/15/19

After this last update 11/15/19, I started up Sims 4 and noticed their bodies and faces looked checkered. They are white and red. Also, the pools have question marks. It does not appear the update went through all the way because these appear to be glitches of the game.
