Product: The Sims 4Platform:MacWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1210What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, but the problem is focused on one of the key-gameplay features of Spooky Stuff; and possible related but not exclusively to have also Seasons installed.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Doesn't show any the costumes that comes with the pack Spooky Stuff in the “Wear a costume” menu when you click your active sim when you have a Spooky Party and only shows the base game ones. Just to clarify, this bug happens INDEPENDENTLY if you play with some key-gameplay interactions that came with Seasons, having the “Wear a Costume” tradition active or if you plan the party with your sims during a Holiday, I tried the Spooky Party event in a random day (mid week of spring to be precise) without any holiday and still occurs the bug.What happens when the bug occurs? When you plan a Spooky Party and you can't even see any of the options of costumes that came with the pack in the Wear a Costume menu, only showing the base game ones as the Costume Party.What do you expect to see? Get the Wear a Costume menu fixed, independently of the possible pack integration with Seasons, because it's one of the key-features of the pack and feels quite odd that it's broken, especially when it used to work fine almost a year ago. Also, when Seasons was released I remember this working just fine with Spooky Stuff, regardless if you throw the party during a holiday and even the costumes count as fulfilling the Wear a Costume tradition (I already read the other bug reports and I want to confirm 100% that this used to work but I just don't remember when it stop, probably a broken update). So I hope if this get fix also gets well integrated as it used to be when Seasons was released.Have 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 I just want to add this wishing to bring some attention to the costumes being broken independently of Seasons gameplay.

I would like to add that the new robot costume also doesn't appear on the list for costumes.

same on XB1.IMHO they should either add all the costumes to the "wear a costume" action during the holiday/party or add a new costume category to CAS and replace that action my changing to that added costume category via "change outfit".

To be honest I don't think seasons recognize costumes from any other packs as costumes, i.e. the bear and knight costumes from OR and GT.

I have seen this in my game as well and wondered if this might be by design. When trick-to-treaters come to your house, they do wear those spooky stuff costumes though.

Yeah, I also noticed this. Here I was, thinking I'd have a real use for the Spooky Stuff costumes, but nope, the game doesn't even recognize them as costumes. I was really disappointed.

Is there any word on this coming in a patch? I really enjoy having a Halloween type holiday, but it seems bizarre that the Spooky Stuff costumes aren't being included. Especially since pumpkin carving is.

Agreed! It makes Spooky Day less interesting and a little depressing that there are only 2 options for kids for example. Yes, you can go select a new party outfit - but that's not the same as using the wear a costume option and getting the costume check for the tradition! There were terrific costumes added in Spooky Stuff, shame they aren't recognized by Seasons in the household! Another thought relating to events/spooky costume party - have a right click option to change costume... This would be great to have given Halloween is coming up... thanks!

I agree, I'd be really nice to see spooky day stuff have some use on this holiday. Plus if you throw a spooky party on that day, the game doesn't allow you to choose from those costumes anyways. I see trick or treaters wearing them, so why not our sims.
Also @crinrict I noticed when decorating with spooky theme, spooky stuff objects/decorations don't show up. Thought I might mention this too.

I do hope they will address this because Seasons and Spooky Stuff should work so well together. But for now I'm going to delete my Halloween holiday and just throw a random spooky party in the fall so my sims can have a decent costume selection.
