  4. In my own household/lot: While the issue doesn’t appear immediately if the lot is untouched, updating or modifying the lot immediately triggers broken textures.
  5. In build/live mode, furniture, doors, and windows become completely displaced, shifted, or misaligned from their original placements.
  6. The issue persists regardless of mod usage.

The texture issue is completely save-specific. When I create a brand new save, all textures and characters load perfectly with zero problems. However, in my previous save file from before the September 3 update, certain Zoi presets experience broken body and skin textures, causing the characters to render as completely pitch-black silhouettes, as shown in the attached screenshot. Not all characters are affected, only specific presets. This clearly indicates a save data compatibility or asset migration issue caused by the recent patch, rather than a hardware or GPU driver glitch.
