[FIXED] Wearing festival T-shirt permanently alters current outfit

We're talking about this over on the Sims forums, but I haven't seen it reported here yet.

In City Living, if you win the curry contest at the spice festival, you immediately spin into the unlocked curry champion T-shirt. Unfortunately, this permanently changes your current outfit. Not just the top but hats, jewelry, and other accessories are lost. I've only seen this happen while wearing a two-piece, so my bottoms and shoes remained intact, but others have reported that when wearing a one-piece outfit their entire lower half disappeared??

This permanent change also happens if you choose to "Buy and wear" any festival T-shirt. Changing to another outfit or going to a mirror or dresser does not restore the lost clothing or accessory choices.

I'm on macOS 10.12 (Sierra), all expansions and packs, no mods or cc. I have not yet applied today 's update, but I didn't see anything in the patch notes that addressed this issue.

    • Sims' career outfits are no longer permanently altered when buying a Festival T-Shirt. However, this may still be an issue with the Curry Challenge tee.

    Should be mostly fixed

    I've now applied the December 1 patch and have done more testing. I took a Sim who was a Spice Hound and had already won the curry contest to the Spice Festival, wearing his unlocked curry champion T-shirt. He ate the curry contest curry and won the $100, and spun into new clothes even though he was already wearing the T-shirt. His pants and shoes changed into those from a different outfit slot, and he again lost his accessories (bracelet, ring, and earrings). Going to "change appearance" in a mirror did not restore the lost pants, shoes, or accessories.

    For these festival T-shirts to work properly, they should behave like when a Sim comes home from work with a new work outfit. The unlocked work clothes do not take the place of any of the current outfit slots, but can still be chosen from CAS if the player chooses.

    I'm the one that started that thread on the Sims forums, but I didn't notice until now that SimGuruNick had replied. Unfortunately I don't have that save game any more to upload like he asked and I don't have time to play right now to upload another one (I stopped doing the curry challenge on all my sims after I discovered the bug). If anyone has a save with this bug they can share with SimGuruNick here or on the Sims forums, who knows it might help speed up a fix.  http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/904015/curry-challenge-t-shirt-removes-existing-outfit

    Lately since the latest patch my Sims are going to work in the curryfestival t-shirt! I changed it with the carrier-clothing cheat but after a while this darn shirt is back. He was at home doing some gardening and when worktime came up he changed into his workclothing as usual but now instead of wearing his tux and hat as always he is wearing the curryfesrival shirt. Tux and hat are gone! And the red curry shirt is back! The whole wardrobe of my sims is messed up since the latest patch! Outfits get deleted and replaced with random cityliving outfits by the game! All the long spended hours in CAS goes down the drain. Very annoying.

    My Sim won the Curry Challenge (first time I've done it) recently and it changed his Everyday top to the Curry Challenge t-shirt. It still remained that way after quitting for the night and playing again the next day. I had to go in and manually change his top back to what it was.

    @manzana0807

    You better skip the Curry Challenge for your Sims because once won, the shirt you'll get will mess-up your wardrobe and will apparently also mess-up your work-outfit.

    @LuvMySimz His career outfit is fine. Only Everyday was affected. If it were otherwise, I would have noted that.
