Before the bug report thread on EA Answers closed, around 1360 people checked off “me too” to signify they’ve also encountered the bug. Over 700 players reported the issue on the EA Answers forum within a day. When a bug like a face glitch disrupts these aspects, it can become a source of annoyance and disappointment. It’s a creative outlet, a storytelling platform, and a medium for self-expression. The Sims 4 is more than a game for many players.
However, while the bug is funny, frustration overshadows the fun. A Sim with an oversized underbite, razor-sharp teeth, or strange eyes can be quite a sight. The player community’s reaction could be described as a mix of confusion, amusement, and disbelief. The incorrect modifications to the Sim who had a loose tooth continued as they grew up. Some of the changes involved skin tone and mismatched outfits. However, losing a tooth during childhood triggered random changes in appearance due to the glitch.
This pack included an adorable feature in which child-aged Sims would get a loose tooth and perhaps a visit from the Tooth Fairy.
The unwanted surprise shipped with the base game update, but the Growing Together expansion pack faced a similar issue.
