Hi! I don't ever use these forums so please forgive any mistakes...
I've been having this strange issue with my sims recently and I just can't seem to fix it. I've attached images (one of them with some handy annotations lol) of the issue so you can see what it looks like. Basically, a 'pattern' is showing up on my sims, as well as some weird patches of green on their faces. I've tried to do some troubleshooting and this is what I've put together so far:
It feels like I've tried everything at this point, and I really have no clue what else to try. I haven't seen the issue anywhere else, though that may be just because it's tricky to describe in a title ("weird pattern that only affects dark skin tones and only recently made sims???").
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. If I was simply playing the game casually, I think I could live with the issue, but I like to take lots of screenshots so this is kinda a big deal for me. Thanks!

is the affected Sim in the gallery ? If so, I can take a look if I can replicate this.
What's the name of the Sim ?
Good Luck

I've just uploaded it now as 'Sim Skin Glitch'. I think it has the cc tag but there's not any cc on the actual sim. Thanks!

I checked your Sim in my game and I can't see anything unusual
It did say cc was removed though so maybe that has something to do with it.
Can you try renaming your user folder to let the game create a new one and then download her into a fresh save to see if the issue persists ?
This is just for testing, you can put your stuff back afterwards.

Just checking, did you look at the sim in-game as well? The issue doesn't occur in CAS for me, and your screenshot was in CAS.
Also, I reuploaded the sim without any mods/cc installed in my game so this time it definitely doesn't has the cc tag.

I renamed the user folder and downloaded the new version (definitely cc free this time) into that fresh game. The issue still occurs:

Thought that was CAS. No, didn't check the game.
Let me do that.
EDIT
She's a bit cold but other than that, she's looking fine to me (need to wait for better lighting though)
What kind of graphics card & monitor do you have ? What's your resolution atm (monitor & game)
Does it happen no matter what she's wearing ?
Good Luck

Sorry for butting in, just tested this. The only way I could find this was with the settings on the low/medium preset. With Uncompressed Sim Textures, Post Processing Effect and Laptop Mode Off. I'm wondering what settings your game is on in addition to the questions Crin is asking.
My screen is on -you must really hate your eyes- mode and my blue light filter is turned off, the green spot is VERY visible over here, not so much on my screenshot. The pattern is visible though, just a little worse than we see in your screenshots.

Yes, it happens no matter what she's wearing.
Graphics card is AMD Radeon 530
Monitor resolution is 1920x1080
Resolution for TS4 1600x900
My usual settings in TS4 are ultra, with uncompressed sim textures off, laptop mode off, and post processing effects on.
