@crinrict I don't think the active sim has to be the leader of the club for this issue to occur. I had a sim join Knights of the Hedge this morning while she was at the gym. When she got to the Von Haunt Estate, only one other club member showed up, the leader, but he did change into the club outfit. My active sim did not. I didn't get a lastException. Pic attached.

@dolldrms1 Problem is there's several issues with club outfits and I'm trying to find out which one.
Can you change outfits at all while in a club meeting ?
@crinrict It would appear that this issue isn't consistent. I went back in game and had her start a meeting the next day and this time she changed into the knight armor so I didn't try to change outfits. I added a sim to the club the day after that before starting a meeting, without the sim being leader, since there was only her and Wolfgang showing up. Don't know why Yuki doesn't seem to be appearing as I've now tried 3 different days at 3 different times. I added the sim to also see if she changed into the club outfit the first time she attended a meeting, in case the issue was seen at only a first meeting attended by a sim. All attending changed into the club outfits after arriving at the lot.
I'm out of play time at the moment but will have her take over the club when I play next to see if I can reproduce not changing. I'll also try having a sim from a different household, when I rotate, join a club that has an outfit to see what happens. Agreed that club outfits are a little glitchy.
Your question about changing outfits at all led to an interesting outcome. When my sim arrived at the meeting this time she didn't change into the armor. She was dressed in the hot weather outfit and I told her to change into her everyday. She spun into the armor but it was the armor that the leader wears. I didn't care but when I told her to play chess with him, she couldn't. He would come to the table, sit and then reset beside it, waving arm with thought bubble of himself in it, see attached pic. I ended up having her talk to him a bit, then ended the meeting. She did spin into the everyday outfit then and I sent her home.
It would appear that what a sim is wearing when they arrive at a club meeting determines whether or not they change into a club outfit. Earlier while playing in this save, I had started a club meeting in a different household where a club outfit is assigned and nobody changed into it. That sim was also wearing his hot weather outfit when I started the meeting and it looked like the other sims probably were too. I didn't try having that sim change clothes since I was going to test in the Knights of the Hedge club and wondered if I had done something wrong setting up the outfit. It was actually the first time I've tried that, lol. After testing the next household, though, I'm wondering if it was the sims arriving in hot weather outfits.
In summary, the result from my game so far is that if the sim arrives in towel from the gym or the hot weather outfit, they won't change into the club outfit. I haven't tried all the outfit categories so don't know what others may or may not cause a sim not to change into a club outfit. Directing the sim to change into everyday triggered changing into the club outfit but glitching then ensued. I didn't get a lastException.
I didn't have long this morning to further test but here are results so far: If active sim arrives at meeting in everyday, sim will change into club outfit. If active sim arrives in hot weather; cold weather; towel; formal or athletic, sim won't change into club outfit. No lastException file generated so far.
Those are the only outfit categories I had time to test. Because of time constraints, I didn't try to have the sim change again into everyday or even another category after arriving. I happened to think to look at the club panel when I sent her in athletic to see if she was pictured in the armor and it correctly shows her in athletic with other members in the club outift. I've attached a pic to show that.
All checking of outfits I've done has been only in the Knights of the Hedge club. I haven't rotated back to the household where I created an outfit to see if results hold true there as well.
I'm wondering if there is some design change to squelch the bug where they never changed into a club outfit, or, if we now have a variation of that bug. I will continue playing around with this when I can play again later today.
