So there are many problems with the pets,
1. They have no fluff? So I have seen that sims pets are supposed to have realistic fur which can be seen as fluffy streaks of hair all over them, but mine dont have this. When I add any amount of fur, even on high detail the pets fur surface is flat and just makes them look chubby not furry or fluffy. I want to know how I might be able to fix this? Or when a patch update with come out to fix this?
2.There are white lines circled around their heads, necks, ears and tail. Everytime I try to make a custom pet, they always have these. They actually dont have them on low detail, but on high sim detail they arent hard to notice. I also want to find a solution to these.
3. Everytime I try to create a pet it exits without saving and glitches badly.Once I exit advanced fur coloring mode, the pet turns colorful with red or black eyes, and the create a pet menu is glitched and messed up with horrible lagging. If I dont exit quickly or save the pet, about 15 seconds later it will show a pop up asking me If I would want to debug a file, and clickng either one results in the sims shutting down. I always say yes, but nothing is changing, this one actually is the most confusing and frustrating.
I know well enough that none of this is suppose to happen, I play on my new macbook, and downloaded the game off origin, I downloaded some mods that arent supposed to effect gameplay, but i just dont understand whats wrong.
