WW appears to be causing striped Sims since the 19 August update

[ohterguy]

So, I have a save I use to test game updates. I start out with no custom content, and then add it back to my Mods folder in batches.  Whenever I add Wicked Whims back to my Mods folder, my Sims have weird black stripes. When I remove WW, the stripes go away.

 

There are no exceptions logged.

 

I have attached screen shots of a Maxis Sim (June Kay) as she looks in CAS and as she looks in game. Please let me know if you need additional documentation.

Do you have other mods installed, or does this happen with only WickedWhims?

It appears this was related to DX11. Although my machine supports DX11 (and DX12), the problem disappeared when I reverted to DX9 in Game Options. (It was happening with WW as the only mod, though ... to answer your question, so I suppose it could also be the combination of WW and DX11.)

Huh that's extremely weird, but glad you found a fix for it!

Hey, you appear to have something else going on that's irrelevant to WickedWhims but perhaps combines with the mod. If you can do some more testing and help provide any more details, please do, as I'm unable to test it myself and nobody else has reported an issue like this.

Thanks for checking in!  Found it! I have files that support WW animations in a subfolder of Mods/Wicked Whims. The file causing the problem is LunarEclipse-NudeSkinsets[HDPenis]BaseGame_DefaultOverrides.package. I've removed it from my game, and am looking forward to reaping performance benefits from DX11.

Running DX12 and all my male Sims have a black penis regardless or skin tone

Same here, thought it was a download sim that I had installed and then took it out. Game looked good until another male sim (another household) took a shower and he was wearing shoes and pink underwear while showering. Backed out of that mess and found the black thing showing up on other sims. At that point I shut the game down because I didn't want to spend hours trying to fix it today.
