Re: [ARCHIVED] Sims change assigned outfit when they have multiple/category

Since the Pool Patch if I dress my sims in a party outfit they will leave in the one I picked arrive in a different one, if I change it back on the community lot, then send them back to the home/lot they again arrive in the different one. Ex I dress my sim in party outfit 3 they arrive on the community lot in outift 1, I then change them back to outfit 3 while on the commuinty lot, have then travel back home they then arrive again in outfit 1, Has to have something to do with swim wear and need looked into didn't have this problem before the pools patch. While I'm here I also lost the Retro radio when the ghost and spooky musice when that came out, thought maybe the patch that come after it might fix it, no nothing, thought maybe the pool patch might fix it but no nothing, that needs looked into also.

  • It's not just the party outifts it all outfits, they revert to outfit 1, after traveling. I did not have this problem until the pool patch. When they arrive on the community lot the outfit I assigned then is greyed out, I have to click on another outfit, click back on the the outfit I assigned but traveling back they arrive in outfit 1, I took out mods still happening and Yes I have more that 3 outfit assigned for each outfit except formal. I have aready, clean out cache files, repair game, problem is still there.

  • Yes seem to be like the what this person said, I just notice it while traveling

     
    Re: sleepware bug

    Hello,

    This bug isn't limited to sleepwear. Often when I'm starting an athletic interaction, the game INSISTS on changing to "Athletic 2" even when the sim was already in "Athletic 1". If during the interaction I use "testingcheats true" and then go into "Modify in CAS" while the Sim is still working out, it will incorrectly show the "Athletic 1" outfit button as active, while the Sim is actually visibly wearing the second outfit.

    The game just seems to become confused about which outfit the Sim is wearing if there is more than one variant. I've stopped using more than one outfit per category simply because of this bug, since it makes multiple outfits unpredicable (you can't safely choose which one you want to wear anymore).

    I seem to have a similar issue with Plan Outfit. When adding a new outfit slot (everyday outfit slot 3 in my case) then exiting back into the game, my Sim will have on an entirely different outfit than what I just chose. Meaning if the new outfit is jeans and a sweater and I exit, Outfit 1 will be selected as Outfit 3. The selection is greyed out and the wrong outfit is worn. The only way to fix it is to switch to another outfit to reset it, then back to the outfit you just added. Seems to have happens after the pool patch.

    If I'm not making sense I'll add pics if needed.

    Edit* Another thing that started happening which my be normal, but I swear it just started happening after the patch. When my Sims wake up, they immediately change out of their sleepwear into their regular clothes. I remember them staying in sleepwear a lot longer and not changing out of them until they either showered, went outside or to work.

    Sorry for the long delay. Absolutely no mods in my game.

    I have the same problem since the pool patch. When I travel to another lot when I return home my clothing is changed to my everyday 1 outfit. When I click change outfit to change back into the everyday 4 outfit I was originally wearing it is grayed out as if I am still wearing it. So I have to click another outfit then go back and click the one that was grayed out.

    I also want to say that I really like that sims change their clothes on their own whenever they take a showr or bath when you have multiple outfits created. It adds realism to the game. gg

    Same problem, but it also occurs when I'm loading a lot after switching active households, and coming out of plan oufit/change appearance

    Also dealing with this, kind of frustrating especially when I wanna keep my sims in their "vacation outfits".

    I'm seeing this work this way -- at least I think it's the same bug: 

    • I make a Sim a new Everyday outfit - say, a nice Christmas outfit, or a camping outfit - let's call it Everyday 4
    • I put them in it
    • We all go somewhere -- or even not go anywhere -- this bug doesn't seem to require travelling for me
    • They show up in Everyday 1
    • I go to tell them to change, but the options to change them into -- the UI for that -- still think they're in Everyday 4, not Everyday 1, even though I see they're in Everyday 1
    • To get them into Everyday 4 again, I have to change them twice: once to something available, then to Everyday 4.

    @luthienrising described it very well. This is *exactly* what I am seeing too. it is extremely irritating, because you have to change outfits *twice* to get it back to how you wanted it. I've also noticed that if you *don't* change their outfit after traveling, the game sometimes switches the outfit without you doing anything at all. The Sim is suddenly in different clothes - without the little spin animation or anything.

    I can confirm this definitely happens with and without mods. And it always seems to rever to Outfit 1, no matter which outfit it is. It's very annoying.

    I noticed only 22 others besides myself reported this.  Is it possible that these bugs only affect random people?  Every patch, I try to play the game once patched.  I have the same problems.  About ready to throw the towel in.  Haven't played the game since November.  All these bugs, I am learning to live without Sims.

    I'm getting the changing-back-into-Everyday#1 just from leaving the home lot for Manage Worlds then reentering the home lot. My Sims were in the home lot the whole time. I left them in Everyday #4 and #3 respectively; now they're both in #1.

    I'm seeing this in my game too. 

  • Still a problem that hasn't been fixed.  Every time you travel, sims revert to everyday 1 outfit. It still says they are in the selected outfit on the pie menu  even thought they are in everyday 1, so you have to choose to change into everyday 1 and then again to the outfit they were wearing before traveling to get them back into the intended outfit.   What's the point of having multiple outfits if they won't fix this?  Its been doing this for 3 months!
