[FIXED] Weirdly dress NPCs at festivals/night clubs/parties

I'm also still seeing them at festivals.

I am still seeing them at festivals, including Cosplayers only wearing parts of costumes and part random outfit. Festival outfits are turning up in full force at nightclubs as well. This has been happening since the latest patch. My save was created after the patch and I am not using any mods or cc.

I spotted lots of weird outfit combinations at the Romance Festival post-November 7 patch. Mostly male Sims wearing normal tops paired with underwear or leggings. I posted some screenshots at the forums. I'm on macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra), no mods or cc (ever), all packs except for Toddler Stuff.

I'm still seeing this at festivals and club outings.

I've noticed the new nightclub outfits.They don't seem as random as the previously bugged festival situational costumes, these nightclub ones seem to be pulling from appropriate category stuff from the party wear section in CAS, but everyone seems forced to wear a hat, glasses and bracelets.

In my game, it's only the Young Adults that are wearing them. The Adults visiting the nightclub are wearing their everyday wear, as normal.

I wouldn't mind if this was some kind of previously undocumented feature that wasn't working before, but now suddenly activated with the patch. It certainly spices up the nightclubs - that guy on the left looks amazing now. Usually he's in a plain everyday green t-shirt and shorts :eahigh_file:

If they do revert this, I hope maybe they consider getting visitors to nightclubs to wear their assigned party clothing from CAS, as I  hardly ever see my sims using it, aside from elders and adults visiting lounges.

------------

I've only experienced the Romance Festival so far since the patch - they seemed to be wearing appropriate Romance Festival stuff again, apart from male visitors showing up without trousers flaunting their underpants, although that was a bug that pre-existed before the May patch made everyone wear badly matching random accessories. I did see a few strangely dressed sims still, but I'm going to give that a little bit more time to resolve, since maybe it takes time for their previously bugged outfits to be replaced.

Hello.

I've been told that this is by design.

However, feel free to post at the Feedback forum if you have further concerns with this.

EDIT: The outfits at the parties/nightclubs are by design.  Strange outfits at festivals may still be an issue.

But But .. they are AWEFUL and weren't like this before. Why would you change this ?

@crinrict

My understanding is that the change was made to attempt to improve this issue:

So NPC's should no longer be wearing everyday outfits to clubs/lounges/etc.  However, if there are still concerns with how the Sims look, players are free to post feedback here or the Feedback forums.

Thanks for clarifying :D

Leaving this open for the moment as I am still seeing it at festival too.

Thanks for coming in the thread to let us know.

Marking the other thread as fixed for the moment.
