Have you guys taken a look EA's Easter Egg hunt? It took me about 3 seconds to find the 'eggs'

My game was running just fine prior to a day or two ago, I thought it was simply one of those random game glitches, and I've been searching for one of the default replacement files that it may be.

Instead of faces appearing, when I go to play a default sim, I get a blank/black empty space with eyes, eyebrows, but no facial structure.

I installed default CAS face replacements (a long time ago, which I cannot locate), and I thought those might be the culprit but my game was fine before then, so I think it must be the combination of default replacement skin(s), default replacement eyes and the default replacement lashes I also installed perhaps. I removed the default lashes, but that doesn't seem to be it. I don't have any hacks that modify anything with the faces, could it be some sort of hack incompatibility?

Even when in Body Shop and I try to click things, the black empty space is just there. Only when I click on a pre-made sim does it go away. It is as far as I know not a graphics card problem, but something related to a hack or corrupt file maybe? I'd really appreciate any help/suggestions so that I can go  back to simming! :violent1:

Info from EA website.

My personal highlights of the teaser video are VIOLIN playing! Being an amateur violinist myself, I think that would be an awesome hobby. Oh and of course the sports and other stuff hehe.
