Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.51.77.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know?
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't save my staff outfits in my restaurant and everytime it fails, it sets the in-game time and status of my other sims and the restuarant lot to the last save point.
What do you expect to see? I really just want to be able to save the outfits and not having to make sure that I constantly safe before trying again and again so I don't lose any more game play...
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I wanted to go have a restaurant again in Dine Out and it used to work well, but now, I can't change the uniforms. I tried and tried. I took out all my mods and CC but that didn't do anything either. I followed a thread posted as a comment on the the thread from 2016 but that didn't do anything either. I somehow managed to change the femal chef's outfit after hours and days of trying, closing and re-opening my game. Not just that, but everytime it fails to save the outfit, my game is reset to the last in-game time I had saved. Meaning it resets all that happened in between except for me bringing my Sim to the lot.


  • Game progress will no longer be lost when editing/adding/deleting career outfits in Create a Sim.

    Fixed in Patch 1.63.133/ Console 1.25

  • Did you sloved that problem? I still have the same problem when I played yesterday. It has never been a problem before after these few months for me. I have lots of mods in my games back then and I used to be just fine. Now, I tried to reset the uniform many times and it took me to when I first buy the restaurant, the menu is reset, the employee also need to be hired again. Thanks

  • So, I made a new game where My Sim bought a restaurant and I wanted to change all the uniforms, I was able to change the hostess' uniform only, each time I tried to change the host's uniform, or any of the waiters or chiefs uniforms it wouldn't save, I would click confirm and it would bring it back to the default uniforms. I think I fixed the issue with the menu, but at one time I would change the menu, save it then go to change the uniform, and then after hitting confirm on the uniform it would remove all my menu, but like I said I think I fixed that. So if I could get a answer or it fixed some how that would be great. You guys work hard to make this game awesome so thank you!

    So when I make the uniforms my Sims reset and the lot changes back to what it was when I first visited it with the money transfer window and all the uniforms go back to the original ones. Also, when I try pausing the game it doesn't pause for ages and when actions are lined up they sometimes clear and the Sims reset! Like wtf! Need help fixing my game plzzzzz

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By playing the game
    What happens when the bug occurs? I saw that many people just like me had issues with creating new outfits for their restaurant staff. When you go in your settings on the bottom right corner while you are playing with the restaurant owner, you can choose your staff outfit, there is + sign to create new ones, after you are done you click the arrow, the page load normally but when you get to choose the outfits it’s simply not there.
    What do you expect to see? You should be able to see and choose the outfits you want & just created
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

    i found a resolution myself. Instead of creating the outfits in the owner mode, Exit the play by returning to the world page. Then select the restaurant but just in construction mode without playing in any household.

    Then change the outfits, once you will return with the owner you will see the new outfits.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Purchase a restaurant, travel to the venue, go to restaurant settings, change uniforms from slot 1 to any other slot, hit the check mark.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Everything but the choice of uniform is saved. Going back into restaurant settings, or opening the restaurant, reveals that the choice of uniform for either gender has not been changed from slot 1.
    What do you expect to see? Well, I expect the game to actually save my choice of uniforms.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

    Please note that while I've marked that I use mods and CC, I have tried removing all of them, even trying a fresh install, and a fresh world, and it made no difference, so I put all the mods and CC back.

    At first, I couldn't even create custom uniforms. However, that part suddenly decided to work, but the issue outlined still persisted. The only workaround I found - by searching the internet - was to either edit the slot 1 uniform, or delete all preceeding uniforms until the uniform I wanted moved into slot 1.

    Just for the heck of it, I tried loading up an old world and bought a restaurant, and weirdly, it just worked as it should, so I've no idea what happened there.

    I do not have issues with progress resetting, or custom restaurant menus failing to save. Just the uniform slot change.
