CAS bug? Can't change eye color etc
Hi! Since I updated my game last week I've been getting a weird glitch in CAS. When I downlaod a sim from the gallery, I can't change the eye color on him or her. I can click the eye and select another shape but the color options won't show. They will however show up if I randomize the eye, but then I've ruined the face

Anyone experiencing this? Earlier today I also realised that when I downloaded a sim from the gallery, all the face details weren't available. This is so weird to me. Anyone else?

Hi,

regarding the eyes: could be due to the downloaded sim having a non-default eyecolor you don't have in your game. If that happens, the game uses some sort of safety placeholder that looks like one of the default browns. (this is under the assumption that sims with CC can be uploaded to the gallery).
Randomizing the eyes is unfortunately the only fix I've found for this so far.

With regards to the face details: do you mean that default(!) game details like freckles /moles aren't on the downloaded sim anymore? Or that they don't appear in CAS at all?

No, the freckles were still in there and the downloaded skin detail that the sim required, but all of my other downloaded skin details wouldn't show.

Maybe the eye color is included in a specific makeup(eye liner, eye shadow..)

I have this problem all the time. It's caused by a custom eye color that was used to make the
sim but wasn't included in the gallery. You could ask the person who made the sim you downloaded
where to get the eye color cc from or just randomize the eyes until a non-cc eye color comes up.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

This is the problem with the Gallery, anything and everything is uploaded there by people who have no idea that they need to let people know what CC the sims are wearing and where it came from. It must be a nightmare downloading sims from there.

I had this problem with the vanilla game with no CC at all. The only way i got the colors back was to randomize the eyes. Once i randomized them the color palette came back and it's been good since then. So it's not necessarily only linked to CC.

Thank you so much, this works! I was looking for the solution everywhere! It also works if you make a new sim with genetics as a twin brother/sister and then you can choose the eyes without having to redo their face... Though you'll have to redo everything else :\
