- 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
