My sim's skin looks weird

Hi
One of my sims has a very strange skin. It has like red "squares" mixed in the regular skin. I can't describe it better than that. None of the other sims in my household has it. How can I fix it?
- I have Pictures of it, but I don't know how to add them :(

    Thank you for showing me that :)

    -Yes, I have tried testingcheatsenabled true, and then went into CAS and changed the skincolour, but it didn't work. It's still the same :(

    Hi,

    According to the DXDiag report, your laptop is equipped with two video devices: an Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated GPU and an NVidia GeForce GT 650M dedicated GPU. For the best graphics performance and display quality it is highly recommended that you have the laptop use the NVidia dedicated GPU to play the game instead of the Intel integrated GPU (which is significantly slower and underpowered). The GPU preference can be set via the NVidia control panel - for more details on how to do this please refer to the following thread:

    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/464413.page

    In addition, check out your system manufacturer's website for the latest NVidia drivers available for your specific laptop model. Having the most up to date video drivers is especially important when adding a game expansion or update.
    When you need help with The Sims 3 or The Sims 4, be sure to check out the Master Help Thread today!
