Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)What is your current game version number? 1.48.94.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of themSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? not sure since I don't know what is causing it and it is random.What happens when the bug occurs? When Patchy the Scarecrow comes to life he is human and wearing clothes that my male sim wears.What do you expect to see? A scarecrowHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure When the scarecrow comes to life it often takes on a human form and is dressed in the same clothes I have selected for my male sim. His human appearance is always the same, a bald male. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

That is the cause in my own save, and I thought it was by design. My original played sim is a style influencer and created a masculine trend. Didn't realize they'd always be bald--that's an interesting tidbit, though I shouldn't be surprised as I found out a bit ago that all colors of Patchy are still the same guy (he gets lots of loving in my saves--not always prompted). hehe (no hate on appearance, either. Bald can be very sexy.)

Truth, it is glitchy as heck, but it's also one of the more hilarious of glitches in the game, and without it I wouldn't a) know Grim was such a trendy guy and b) know that Patchy is bald.(no shade to bald sims/people). Kind of prefer this to watching the Flower Bunny "speaking but not really". That is just too creepy and weirds me out.XD

Hi @ SimGurulcarus,I messaged you with links to my latest saved game where this problem and the problem with the maid I mentioned in a separate post both occur.

This just happened to me for the first time today. Patchy showed up inside the house a few days ago for the first time (scared the crap outta me) - but today he showed up in one of my famous Sims outfits.I think, in my case, it's the "Trailblazer" perk - one below the "Lifestyle Brand" perk for famous Sims.It *is* funny - but some "occupations" (like Grim and the Scarecrow) should not be subject to the whims of current fashion!

Hi @Jan_831 have you chosen the lifestyle brand where you set a trend as what Sims wear ? Don't remember what it's called but that might be the cause.

Hi Crin,
No, I have never chosen the lifestyle brand perk so that would not be the reason for the problem.

@Jan_831 Did you use that style influencer career as @bookmaster325 described ?

No, I have never used the style influencer at all, so I am pretty sure that is not the reason.

I don't know why but randomly, other sims change their clothes to match my famous sim's clothing and I don't know if its supposed to happen or if its a result of some issue with my mods. Mods include: book of chaos, MCCC, extreme violence, vampire bug fix, eternal youth and immortality, swipe without kleptomaniac trait, deadly hand buzzer, sim torments mod, sorcery mod and i think that was all of them when the weird thing occurred.

Hi @RandomGameNerd

There's a lifestyle brand that does this. Bit unsure of the name right now. Also if you use the Style Influencer Career there's something similar that makes other Sims wear what your Sims wear.

It's a feature :D

But does that include the reaper? Because even the reaper when he appears sometimes wears my sim's clothes. Also I don't have that fame perk and don't have my sim working in the style influencer career. But I'm glad at least that it's not my game being broken.
