Called it to your attention in that other thread didn't I? lol..
Fight-bait for today?
No, you didn't. CAS not working suddenly was very noticiable.
It happened occasionally before. Now it's every single time. As the 14 pictures I took show it.
Nope friendly discussion, I thought we were talking about this yesterday or the day before in another thread.
Remember, the "all kids look the same" thread?
Yes. But the difference is you reported that only happened if the sim aged in-game. It is now widespread, happening in all instances and has even affected townie generation and CAS randomiser. It's a much bigger issue.
Going off what @vlaxitov just posted, I was going to ask if you guys who are having this issue if you did some fine editting of the eyes? Maybe the game isn't able to do the genetics thing unless it is on one of the preset eyes? I don't know, just guessing.
Now, this does not address the fact that the majority of male townies spawned by the game also share these features.
This happens sometimes when I try:
Well, what I learned from Sims 3 is that many times these bugs have many layers,
I do think that aging up a Sim who has parents with fine tuned features is causing an issue because the game can't figure out what to do with those non-preset features.
However, there is still the problem of randomly generated Sims in both CAS and by the game having these features.
Does it fix at all when you take them into CAS? Or are you just too upset that they don't look like the parents anymore when you do this?
You'd have to fix it eveytime they aged and be good enough you could tweak them exactly to normal. Not to mention several times the controls just get screwed up, like above.
The Sim I'm currently playing already had a pretty strong jaw by design, but I didn't notice his eyes turning tiny until this was brought to my attention.
I'm not getting the identical townies, but I play with aging off, so they are automatically generated with unique faces.
Something odd I noticed though. I did find a couple of random townies that I likes (with poor fashion sense). I brought them into CAS.fulleditmode to change clothes, and make minor tweaks if necessary. Upon clicking a facial feature it "Jumped" as if it was set at an invalid value. It does this with body fitness too, but in that case it's because the slider range in CAS is lower than what can be achieved by actual weight lifting in play.

Both the sims I showed were never children.
Yeah I'm not seeing that happen across the board yet in my game, hope it never does.
What I do know is that whether in game or CAS that it seems the childhood and maybe teen stages trigger some sort of normalization.
You saying the features just shrink even without a life stage change?

To me, it's not that. It's eye and jaw controls increasingly getting botched.
I hadn't started Live Mode. I had never had any sim age in game. I did use CAS a lot, though.
I have a young adult sim of me I use in games, and I often import him into a new family in a new game and turn him into a child. But when he ages back up to young adult in the game, he looks altered as you said, and not the same as he started out.
It seems it's not just me with the issue.
It´s not just you. I have the same issue, I just didn´t know because I haven´t been aging my sims past childhood lately.
This needs a fix. Now.
If @SimGuruGrant's aware of the problem and says he's taking it seriously and working on a fix, I have no doubt that our male Sims are in good hands. I'm no EA cheerleader either, but I have loads of respect for that guy.
Where was it posted that he was aware of the issue? I couldn't find it and wasn't sure when or where he had posted regarding the problem.
This Ask a simguru thread is the new thread, linked from both the ask a simgurusemedi and simgurugrant threads.
Hopefully someone or ones who is home and able to post this glitch will do so and bring it to the attention of the simgurus for sure when the thread is open, starting tomorrow the 7th.
*sigh* I wish we weren't required to download patches to play the game. I won't be playing until this is fixed because I'm playing a story with a lot of males
It is as if all the male Sims are developing a Syndrome. The same aberration occurs when changing a previously normal YA or Adult male Sim to another life-stage. This needs to be fixed right now without further excuse.
It's definitely important to me too. I sure don't want to spend all that time and effort on creating my sims just to have them all revert to this "default" face.
That would explain why my male sims look almost completely different when they age. Bah, they better fix this soon.

Granted, the above sim does have small eye genetics from the grandparents - but nothing like *that*. The first sim is a random townie my sim married. You can see how his large round eyes shrunk and his soft jawline changed.

Those first two look like two completely different people who happen to have the same haircut.

Yes. But not so much between Child and other ages. More between Teen - Adult.
The controls are jumping out of the grid.
The patch made some tuning that didn't take and then it resets.
I'd be willing to bet that if you put a teen in your neighborhood and aged them up that you'd get the same effect.
Any aging of all kind has that effect. Not even the young adult face presets work anymore.

Probably, however some people (me!) don't download a bunch of mods. EA should fix their game. We shouldn't HAVE to download 3rd party mods!
