I started a new game yesterday with the "Update: 06/02/2016 – PC Version 1.19.28.1010" and I found that several clients in my retail lot have the Tragic Clown hair and are really sad. Some people in reddit are also claiming to have the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/4mr5nh/sims_4_has_the_tragic_clown_hair_glitch_even_been/

This has been fixed (again) in Patch 1.19.31 Existing clowns will not be deleted. Check on their names and delete them through your household manager.

[FIXED] Sims are still being generated with Tragic Clown hair

This has been fixed but seems to be back for some.

This is working as intended if

The tragic clown only appears when summoned with the picture

You have 1 NPC with clown hair on your retail lots. This is the tragic clown off-duty.

If you have more than one tragic clown on your lot or random townies in your town that are not the sad clown, then it's bugged again.

Can you confirm for me which version you are seeing ?

I didnt played the last patch so I didnt really knew about the tragic clow until earlier today. But I found that both Sims are indeed Tragic Clown off-duty. BUT... I have 2 of them (one male and another female) in my retail lot.

The picture is in spanish, but both are very sad and works as Tragic clow.
Is there any way to disable those clowns without mods?

No, there isn't.

Two is borderline I think. They said there should be only one but I had two Jasmines at one point too so this might be ok.

If you have more than two, that's not good.

Now with the new update and downloading Dining Out. The people keep showing up looking like the Tragic Clown only the hair that is. What's up with this?
Can you give a patch to stop this. Only happens when I buy a restaurant. Not good at all. HELP Please. Thanks.

No mods/CC in my game.

Started a new save for Dine out.

2-3 clown haired customers a shift, all random townies.

I have this problem too, and it's an old save file. I've had this one for quite a while and after the patch of June 2 these random townies with the clown hair show up and they are all sad. There are at least 5 in my game and I spotted the 'real' tragic clown as well, with the cloths and everything, so I guess the last one is fine. Although I didn't summon him or anything
