HI @rentur3
to make sure your mods are no longer active, please try the following. My Sims also lives on a beach and doesn't have this issue so there seem to be more factors.
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
If this doesn't help
- Is your Sim an human Sim or an occult ?
- What happens if you remove the laundry from your lot ?

@crinrictHi there. I, too, have had this glitch since this morning. I had tried my game without any mods, purely vanilla and I still had this issue so I decided to follow your instructions.
I reset my files as described and tested with a brand new game. The Sim there, took from the gallery, worked fine without changing her clothes into a bathing suit.
When I tried again, putting back in the save that gave me the issue (again, vanilla with no mods. Nothing but the restarted folder and the save game) I have the same problem again with her changing into swimwear.
She's a human sim, not an occult. I've removed all laundry items from the lot and she's still doing it. What should I do?
- crinrict7 years agoHero+Would you be willing to share your save with me ?
If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.- 7 years ago
Thank you for your reply, but I've actually fixed my problem!
It seemed the error was tied to one specific lot. I downloaded the lot from the gallery, though, and it had no custom content. So I'm still not sure why it was being so rickety.
