I just started working on an Immortal Dynasty and I was doing a practice run, trying to work out how I would survive with no money!

I started chatting up my intended and we got the option to 'go steady'.  Right after this the option to take a 'Couple's Snapshot' popped up as an interaction choice.  Right after the flash disappeared in the picture below on the left, my intended turned into a clone of my character (as you can see in the picture on the right).



So I did what I think any sane person in my situation would do, and I proposed marriage to myself!



Funny thing is my new husband continued to look like me (even though I saved and exited) all the way up until he took a shower, then somehow he washed off my girly phone transfer!

...........that is very weird.
At Sims University, we are scared by our mikes, 50% our students sleep in lectures, our students have fights over who gets to go through a door first, and students starve to death at a regular basis. Enroll NOW!

It's in Sunset Valley? and the remedy is just to take a shower?
It's surely worth to check it out. Thanks, rarespawn :D

Yep, it is in Sunset Valley.

You know what is really funny?  I was playing the same Immortal Dynasty again last night and it happened in exactly the same way AGAIN!  I wasn't watching the old fogies and they started to snap 'couples' pictures of each other when I was watching the child.  All my sim hubby had to do was to take a shower to turn back into his old man self though, just like last time.  It's a really wierd bug!

Who selects the option to take the pic or does it matter? I'm wondering if the lady could become a clone of the boyfriend :P

In the first case it was the one who selected the option to take the picture that was cloned.  I know this because I wasn't in control of the guy at the time.

I'm not sure about the second time as I wasn't paying close enough attention, but it was the girl that was cloned.  So I'm going to assume she probably took the picture again.  At that point both sims were members of my household.

I've been trying to avoid letting it happen, because I am worried it will bug out and void my Immortal Dynasty try.

Wow, I am so envy of you. That's a rare experience for a Simmer and the game select you as the first for a candidate, rarespawn!
I haven't had a chance to try this. I really want to know if this things can be happened too to my Sims. Yeah, it's really weird but also fascinating in another perspective when you do look that way ;D

Besides the physical appearance. How about the data of your Sims hubby? It's also copied too? Like favorites, traits?

It seems to be just the appearance. Even the little portrait in the corner changes, and the head portrait when you are clicking on interaction options.  Also on the friends tab, that portrait changes too.

I wasn't in control of the guy right away the first time it happened, only after we got married.  I did check his traits though, because I was worried for my immortal dynasty and his traits were the same as indicated previously, only his appearance had changed.  I was really worried that he wouldn't change back because I saved and logged out, and he still looked like my clone.  I just figured I would play awhile to see if he could change back, like if he went to work or whatever.  That was when I discovered he changed back after entering the shower!

I'll try to find the screenshot of it happening a second time.  I don't have a before one, because like I said above, I wasn't really paying attention to them at the time.  I only have the after shot of the two clones.

Edit:  Here is the screenshot of the second instance.
