The Sims 3 Skin Glitch (kinda cool)

[IloveLlamas]

ok I got this glitch once, the day I got the game. the first patch fixed it. However t today the odd-skin glitch came back! I think it might be because of Late night. either way here are some pics.

and this


however when I tried to change his skin color... this happend





I think its cool. How about you


or, have I lived under a rock and this glitch was old news?

The first time I saw this glitch was on my other computer that has a less powerful video card.  In some cases too, it looks like one of the female sims has a beard, lol.  I think I am switching video cards, putting the more powerful one on the other computer and getting a brand new one for this computer.  I am not sure if that is the problem, but it might be.  I had never seen it until just the other day.

I think this one pops up when the game can't find a skin for your Sim, so it'll sometimes happen when you download a Sim with a custom skin you don't own. It's also possible for children of the Grim Reaper to end up with this skin (I think the game's been patched to prevent the Grim Reaper from having kids, but you can download him from the exchange at your own risk).

Actually I got the grim reaper in CAS, then put on normal clothes. Oh, and my graphics card is alright (ati radeon hd 4650). But yeah, I think it's kinda cool because I can play with a sim that's pitch black. Now I'm going to try something. What would his children look like?

How did you get the Grim Reaper in CAS?

When I clicked to make a new sim he appeared. Also my game is updated when I installed Late Night. I don't know why. This happened before. Also I should tell you I don't have any mods.

I personally downloaded Grim from the exchange and haven't had any problems, although he does like to pop up in CAS and give me a fright  . As for what Reaper babies would look like, I used the skin to make a Sim and put her in the game.



This is Tinsel. She's got a few issues with the shading at her shoulders and other joints, but otherwise I think she's very pretty.

Another note: You mentioned that when you tried to change the Sim's skin colour, they still looked a little glossy. You can fix that be using the CAS tools to Create a Twin. As long as the skin colour isn't black anymore, the Twin shouldn't have the glossy effect. I think it just exists so we don't have to look at a totally dark, featureless Sim if we do happen to get the skin.

That's awesome. I have the reaper up on my page. Here's a link.

Wow, that's interesting.
I have a glitch were toddlers have flying hair about 1.5 meters above their heads sometimes. It's always really long hair too - even if it's a boy.
It's quite funny to watch them crawling around with a massive floating hair-do following them around 

[IloveLlamas]

Wow that sound fun! Some bugs in the game are annoying but, some are kind of fun!

I have the grim reaper saved in my family ?bucket? From when you could marry him and have kids with him. But when I tryed to play him he didn't age so I guess there's a problem there.

[IloveLlamas]

Not Really. Thats in the game code because can  you imagine if while the Grim Reaper came and while he was taking a sim he died!? well as you can see that would not only make for a good laugh, but also ruin EA's repudiation.

I need to know how to fix my Sim's skin color.  It got changed by the glitch caused by the new Super Patch from fair to ebony black.  Can anyone help me and tell me how to get back into CAS or something to fix this?  Most current game Expansion Pack is Into the Future.

Open the console ctrl-shift-c then type testingcheatsenabled true and hit enter

You can now shift click your sim and choose edit in CAS where you can change their skintone.

When done open the console again and type testingcheatsenabled false.
