Don't fear the Reaper?

...especially when he looks like this:
A few weeks ago I posted here that this was happening to one of my maternity outfits, and after Lilith Pleasant died on one of my lots, this guy appears like this. Is this terribly borked? Does anyone know what possible hack, type of hack, whatever could have affected this? The only hack I have that involves clothing is one I got from here (Peasantry) that hides from CAS and Bodyshop all the crap default stuff.
I also have a couple of questions regarding this current situation. Lilith Pleasant was brought home from school by my teen. She immediately got stuck walking ON the pool. I thought it was funny so I let her get on with it and wanted to see if she'd actually die, which eventually she did. Is this going to be a problem in the future, her dying in one of my lots? I don't really play the Pleasant house - don't know if it makes a difference.
Also, you can tell by the left side of the pic that I have twin babies at present in this family. This is my gay couple, Puto and Pato Maricón. Puto was abducted and impregnated. I use the hack from MTS2 that allows for four different aliens to do the pollination. When the Puto came back I used the pregnancy scanner (ACR) to check how many babies and he just had one. Pato has the LTW of marrying off 6 children (or something like that) so I decided to feed Puto cheesecake for twins. Lo and behold, he gave birth to twins, but only one looks like an alien. The other has Puto's skintone, although his family tree says he has the same alien parent as his sibling. Is this normal? I have changed the default alien skin to a nicer one and Puto does use one of the few customised skintones I use in the game.
Gwill:
IT's not a hack, you've got corrupted game files. The easiest way to fix it is to back up and re-install.
moniquinin:
I'd love to understand how this actually happens, and if it's self-contained? What I mean is, you say I've got corrupted game files -- is the extent of the damage going to be this -- weird looking clothes? Or is it going to start seeping into other things, causing more problems and eventually blowing up my game?
How about the twin thing? Is that also due to corrupted game files?
J. M. Pescado:
Alienbabies aren't guaranteed to be green, I don't think. Do a simDNA on him to see what he has. Perhaps he's only green on the inside.
However, the damaged files thing is very bad, and will likely lead to destroyed crops, stolen babies, and family bike rides.
Gwill:
It's usually one of the sims##.package files that goes bad, those are the ones that contain textures. It is possible to replace those (replace the ones on your computer with the ones on the CD), and thus avoiding the re-install, but I have no idea how to do it on a mac.
I don't know what causes it, but it's probably a combination of things like the game crashing or computer re-booting without ending processes correctly.
You can get similar problems with deleted default replacements and some other stuff, but when it happens to several unrelated textures, it's almost certainly the game files. You can try write-protecting the games folder to keep it from getting funky, but I'm not sure that's a good idea.
