Detail of the skin that I can not remove, Help!

[Mecesis]

Hello! Please, does anyone know where this tattoo comes from? Why is it embedded in most of my female NPCs? I have already removed the last installed mods. I know it's a detail of the skin, but it doesn't seem to me in the CUS... HELP

Hi! Have you tried the removing tattoo cheat code? If you haven't already, after opening cheat code tab with "ctrl + shift + c", you can type '  ww.remove_sim_tattoos  ' and then hit enter. @Mecesis And also, fixing nude outfit cheat comes handy when you start a new game which is '  ww.fix_all_sims_nude_outfit  '

[Mecesis]

Hello! Thanks for your answer. but...doing that cheat, will I erase the tattoos of all the sims? The problem is that it is in almost all female NPCs. I know it's a "skin detail" because when I remove it in the CUS, it disappears. But it doesn't appear in the CUS columns to be able to remove or put it, identify it... And I don't know where that tattoo came from that seems to have been embedded in some NPCs! That's why I asked for help in case someone recognizes it..

This could be some CC that used a tattoo slot and is removed, so sims now have this tattoo instead of that CC. The game can remember tattoos for some reason. You can use a specific WW command to remove all tattoos, this should affect all sims if I remember right.

If you are using Nisa's Wicked Perversions, some tattoos are given out as rewards.  You can disable these in the mod's options.  If you aren't using that mod then do the following:

 

You can do the 50/50 rule or use the 'Sims 4 Tray Importer' method.

 

Sims 4 Tray Importer method:

 

Move one of the affected female Sims to its own household
Remove all CC from ALL outfits including clothing, shoes, hair, makeup, accessories (head and body), tattoos (aside from the one you are trying to remove), etc.
Save the Sim
Open the household again and save it to the gallery
Download and run 'Sims 4 Tray Importer'

Click on the Library button in the top left
The household that you just saved to the gallery will be at the top of the list, make sure it is highlighted/selected
Click on the 'CC' tab towards the top of the window
All CC that the Sim is using will be listed by filename
Delete the offending file/s - Note:  There may be some files that you want to keep so try removing one file at a time and test
This will also show you all the default replacement CC mods that you have installed as they will show up also

 

This method is a bit more complicated but with huge mod lists like mine it saves me a lot of time and frustration.

 

Good luck!

Hello, thank you very much for your help! Must it be one of these 4 mods? If so can I remove them and it won't affect anything else? I mean, they are supposed to be mods already passed through a new version, correct? I just don't understand the reason for this. The curious thing is that I have located that tattoo, it is from the base game, but I cannot remove it from the affected sims....

You have quite a few old mods installed.  I would remove all the BB (better bodies) mods and your top and bottom replacements and use the default ones from Wicked Whims for now.  You are using a very old version of EVE body also.  You need to remove your old mods and update them.

 

I hate to tell you this but you may need to start over completely - download new mods and start over with a new game.

Notice the little green heart with the ribbon in the center... it's tattoo menu selector.

Hover your mouse pointer over it and look for the red X and then click on the X and it removes all tattoos.

Tienes bastantes mods antiguos instalados. Eliminaría todos los mods BB (mejores cuerpos) y sus reemplazos superior e inferior y usaría los predeterminados de Wicked Whims por ahora. También está utilizando una versión muy antigua del cuerpo de EVE. Debe eliminar sus modificaciones anteriores y actualizarlas.

 

Odio decirte esto, pero es posible que debas comenzar de nuevo por completo: descarga nuevas modificaciones y comienza de nuevo con un nuevo juego.

The funny thing is that even with all this (outdated mods) everything worked fine... I downloaded cc clothes and this appeared... If I put another detail of the skin on the affected SIMS, that one disappears. In order not to restart a new game, I will correct them one by one But I will take the opportunity to clean the body parts that you indicate. Although I still do not know how this error has occurred, only installing cc clothes. Thanks for the help !

Fíjate en el pequeño corazón verde con la cinta en el centro... es el selector de menú de tatuajes.

Pase el puntero del mouse sobre él y busque la X roja y luego haga clic en la X y eliminará todos los tatuajes. 

Nooo thanks for the help, but I've already tried that and the tattoo is still there, in a more transparent tone, but it's still there

Have you also tried doing an Origin/Steam Game Repair?

Sure seem strange that something like clothing would mess up the games tattoos so bad you can't remove them.

¿También has intentado hacer una reparación de juego de Origin/Steam?

Claro que parece extraño que algo como la ropa arruine los tatuajes de los juegos tanto que no puedas quitarlos.

TRUE? Also involving a tattoo from the game, that's why I couldn't find it in the CUS with the CC filter. The normal thing would be that it was a cc tattoo that had slipped in when I downloaded a full outfit, or the cc of a sim... As soon as I saw this error, I removed all the cc of clothes that I had downloaded and could be the cause of this error, but no...it was still there..

You can always try starting a new save game for experimenting with to see if the same thing happens or not.

That way you won't goof up your other original save game.

 

On occasion some things get saved on Sims and can get stuck on Sims in the Save itself.

Normally removing the broken CC gets rid of the problem when you load the Save again as long as you've deleted the localthumbcache.pkg to remove old cached game data.

 

If a new game save has the same problem then it's likely caused by some default CC that always gets applied to all Sims in every save game.

Siempre puedes intentar iniciar un nuevo juego guardado para experimentar y ver si sucede lo mismo o no.

De esa manera no cometerás errores en tu otra partida guardada original.

 

En ocasiones, algunas cosas se guardan en los Sims y pueden quedarse atascadas en los Sims en el propio Guardar.

Normalmente, eliminar el CC roto soluciona el problema cuando vuelves a cargar Guardar, siempre y cuando hayas eliminado localthumbcache.pkg para eliminar los datos antiguos del juego en caché.

 

Si un nuevo juego guardado tiene el mismo problema, es probable que se deba a algún CC predeterminado que siempre se aplica a todos los Sims en cada juego guardado.

I did not know that this file existed and what it was used for. I have deleted it. And that embedded tattoo continues there !! Well, it seems that nothing can be done but to remove it Sim by Sim by placing another "skin detail" Thanks for your help!

Typically what we do is remove all Mods/CC from the game except for Wicked Whims + Animations and then delete the localthumbcache.pkg.

 

Start from scratch and load the game with just the above and then do a 'save as' whatever.

This should remove any unwanted CC that was hiding.

 

Now you have to be careful installing CC and details back into game and watch for the problem to come back.

By only adding a few at a time it's easier to keep track and find the culprit.

 

Make a new folder in Mods named Testing to try out new CC until you're sure it's safe first before moving them into their own category folders.

 

If all makeup CC is installed into a folder named 'CC Makeup' then all you have to do later on is just remove that folder to test all the makeup CC you have installed.

 

Use category folders for all CC you install later.

Mods/Body Details

Mods/CC Clothing

Mods/CC Makeup

Mods/CC Skin Overlays

Mods/CC Skins

Mods/CC Tattoos

etc.
