Sims 3 clothing bug
Hi! I don’t know if people still play on sims 3 but I’ve recently stumbled upon a bug of some kind when my sim enters or leave the house. Example: she’s off to work, she gets in the carpool car, then...

@Lewlle I would strongly suggest adding NRaas ErrorTrap and Overwatch for the overall health of your game. They clean up errors and bad data in the background, with no need for you to do anything. ET in particular is quite chatty: you'll get notifications whenever it finds something to fix, but there's no need to worry unless you get a large pile of errors at once or the same one over and over, or you get a crash at the time of an error.
I can't tell you from your description why one of the babies disappeared, but that's another reason to add ET and OW: whatever was wrong with the sim might be easily fixed by these mods.
Other weird things after this started up is: when in cas or “plan an outfit” you can see (for example) a dress and also all the colors of that dress in a slider. Now I only see one item of clothing and have to go to Recolor and select the other designs on that same outfit.
It sounds like you've enabled compact form in CAS with MasterController. You can disable this if you want: NRaas > MC > Settings > CAS > Category Changes > Show in Compact Form: [category] > False.
If you haven't done this, or actually even if you have, are you using the Smooth Patch by Lazy Duchess, and if so, do you have version 2.x with the optional add-on that works with MasterController? I don't use it myself, but I know it's not completely compatible with MC, and I believe there are some issues around compact form as well.
The store content not loading properly is a known issue with the EA App:
EA is aware of the issue, and we're hoping they'll have a fix soon. Having said that, if MV does in fact load, this issue shouldn't be contributing to the outfit glitch.

Hi! When I enter via nraas, mc, settings, cas, categories it says “false” on every one of them. Are they supposed to be true? Thing is I went there once to change setting allowing accessories on top of accessories (sorry I’m Swedish I don’t know what they are called in English) and I think I accidentally clicked on something else within those settings and I wonder if that’s what happened. Both the male and female new sim does this while my previous couple they replaced never did that. Unfortunately I moved them out before I could see if this is effecting them too.
the only thing

Hi! When I come to “category changes” everything is set to “false”, is that how it should be?
I actually did change a setting to be able to stack accessories and I think I’ve might have clicked on something by accident and wonder if that is what’s causing this. Both the male and female sim does this changing clothes thing while the previous couple I replaced them with never did this. I moved them out before I could see if this effected them as well.
I have not installed any patches. Thanks for replying 🙏🏼
