[ARCHIVED] [HSY] Teens in school based uniforms get different hairstyle

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Xbox Series X
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? High School Years, City Living, Paranormal, Werewolves, Laundry Day, Spooky Stuff, Seasons, Get to Work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to High School on a day when teens are wearing club clothes/letterman jackets.
What happens when the bug occurs? I've begun seeing, the last few days (though this could have been since the last update, only recently followed my teens to school for a few days since the update) a couple of teens whole hair has been replaced with what appears to be a double-layered slice of two very short haircuts (can't tell which two, due to the clipping, but both are very short) instead of their regular hair. This only happens with teens who have been put in the school-based club outfits or the letterman jacket for the day and only a couple of them seem effected at any given time (the rest have normal hair). I also note that while one of the two merged haircuts is usually the correct color, the other often isn't the same color.
What do you expect to see? Teens with the correct haircuts on their heads.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

As it says above, I will go to High School and a couple of the NPC teens that are wearing their club outfits or the school letterman jacket that day will have the incorrect haircut.  I tried asking to 'See other Outfit' to see changing clothes fixed the hair, but the Sim refuses to change and gets embarrassed.  (Probably because someone shaved their head?)

I will see them later, when they are in normal outfits and the hair will be fine, so I am very certain it has something to do with the school outfits.  Also, it only seems to happen to one, maybe two teens on any given school day, with the rest being fine and still having the correct hair with their club shirts.  

Hope this helps.

    This problem started recently in my game. I couldn't figure it out what causes this

    Just an update on this.

    I cleared my saves and started a fresh 'Sim-averse', as it were, and I didn't see the issue make a return for a while, with all three of the new households having teen sims in them.  However, after a few weeks of play, I had this issue crop up again.  Like before, it is double-exposing two short hairstyles over one another and only with Sims who have been put into the standard 'school club clothes' or school uniforms.  And again, only one or two of them, not everyone.

    I've noticed that no one else appears to have tagged this as having the same issue, so I'm guessing this is something going on at the local game level.  Anyone have this crop up or have any idea what is causing this?  I had hoped that, at the very least, others would have seen this occurring so that it would be addressed by Maxis, but if it's just me, then I doubt it will ever be acknowledged.

    I managed to figure out how to get the pictures.  I got a shot of three characters both before and after, which gives a pretty good example what is happening.  Hope this helps with getting it fixed.

    Let me know if you need anything else from me, now that I have managed to learn how to get the screenshots here.  🙂

    I play on the Xbox, but I reply to these boards on the computer.  I'm not sure how to bridge that gap.  I'd be happy to send some screen shots, if you could tell me how to get them from the Xbox and how to get them to you here.

    Thanks
