The Sims 4 I got a little update on Tuesday The update was supposed to fix several different bugs – and add new underpants – but instead the update introduced some new issues for players. Players are reporting that their Sims’ faces just look… bad. The eyes are crossed and sunken, the teeth are misshapen and misaligned. Even dogs and cats have slightly altered faces, making everything look easy out of. Many players report that it is not just about individual Sims in a neighbor, but all.
More than 1,200 players reported the issue on one The Sims 4 Support thread where they post pictures of their Sims’ mysterious new faces.
‼️ NEW ERROR MESSAGE‼️
After today’s patch, all my previously created sims have a face bug. The eyes look oddly shaped and the mouth has an odd underbite. Even resetting the eyes with a new preset doesn’t work to fix the problem!
Other players are also affected. Spread the word! pic.twitter.com/Y6Xemkg11N

Thankfully, Electronic Arts has investigated the issue and is working on a solution. There’s no expected release date for the patch, but the company said it wants to fix the issue “as soon as possible.” Sims created before the April 18 update will get their faces back when the update eventually goes live. Sims created after The update will see “minor adjustments as a result of correct playback”.
The slight changes to the Sims’ appearance may not seem like a big deal, but it’s often hours of work that players put into creating their characters. There are huge communities creating the perfect look for Sims, with or without mods. Anyone messing around any Games’ character creator knows the challenge of creating a passable-looking persona. For many The Sims 4 Players, it’s not just working in the game, it’s also finding the right mods. The Sims 4 has been around for almost a decade; some players are still playing their very first Sims from around the time of release; It makes sense to commit to her and her looks.
In this sense, The Sims 4 Players are relieved to hear that their Sims will go back to normal when an update is released. Two new kits were released on Thursday, the Greenhouse Haven Kit and the Basement Treasures Kit – allowing players to create lush green spaces and grimy gremlin basements. The facial flaw certainly dampens the excitement of these two additions, while some players are refusing to upgrade for fear of permanently maiming their Sims with the facial flaw.
