Hi @FemFedaykin
I've tested this and wasn't able to replicate
Tagging @FemFedaykin for feedback
I don't know if this help, My game have a lot of CC, but up too this Friday I was playing without the four last DLC and never got the issue, that same day I bought all the last four dlc ( Fitness stuff, parenthood, toddler stuff and Cats & Dogs) and after I start playing I start getting this issue, but I didn't give it that much mind, just fixed my outfit and didn't see to got the issue again until today. I don't know what I did to make it happen again, I will try to duplicated with and without CC and see if this thing get fix because is annoying.

Not sure whether you have also used it, but I additionally had 'The Mod That Must Not Be Named' (its initials are WW) and that also caused the duplication glitch after one of its 'interactions'. Once removed, there was no problem. It's possible that one of the package files (even though it's been updated recently) has broken indices rather than a missing mesh, in which case (as with the kitchen counters) the issue comes into play.
Hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

Yes, I do have that mod. But I thought it glitches because the Sims undress (just like showering), so that not the actual mod is the problem but the undressing, which would also occur while showering. Anyway, I will check the other files for missing meshes and hope I can fix it. Thank you. How do I find out if a kitchen counter is broken though?

If it's custom content you downloaded prior to the expansion patch which came out a few days before the pack itself, it's probably flawed. I'd recommend you get Sims4Studio and there are a couple of menu options under the Tools tab (CC and Objects) that run a script on the package files and fixes what it can. Full instructions on how to do this are on the Sims4Studio website.

Yeah, I already used Sims 4 Studio and ran all object batch fixes. I also manually went through all my CC but I only found about two that were missing the mesh, I removed those. When exactly did that update come out? There's a glitch thread about the same issue in the "you know which" forum, but they are saying it's a Maxis glitch and has nothing to do with "you know what".

Main update was dated 10 Nov, but I have a couple of package files dated 17 Nov so I think that's the last update (version ends in 115h).
TBH the way it's looking to me (my opinion, I've not looked at code etc) is that it's fundamentally a problem with Maxis' code, but it doesn't actually occur unless it finds broken content - i.e. if run without any custom stuff, it doesn't look for custom content and doesn't go thru a process of duping the outfits. Once it finds something that's broken, the base game (broken) code kicks in and does the duplication. This could either be missing mesh, incorrect coding (as in counters not having the c&d patching) or broken indices or function calls within script files.
I'd say almost impossible to check for unless all the base game code was reverse engineered or its XMLs were fully extracted to look for what could be a needle in a haystack.
Sorry it doesn't sound hopeful but that's as far as my opinion lets me go...

Well, they should fix it if it has something to do with the latest patch. If they don't fix it I am not really sure when I will be playing S4 again, right now I'm refraining from playing because I don't want my outfits to break (taking out the CC isn't fixing it because those outfits consist of CC, I might as well start over completely then because my sims won't be the same without their unique things identifying them....)
This issue has a VERY rare chance to happen with a vanilla game according to a mod dev I have talked to.
His mod on the other hand, a very popular mod that is is rated 18+ so not mentionable here, will cause this as it is right now.
It is being further investigated, but I would suggest this thread being flagged not as a potential mods/cc-related, but confirm that it is mods/cc-related.
Happy Simming!
Maybe if they could provide some info how to replicate it without mods ?
EA Staff (Retired)A save where this is occurring would be extremely useful as well, thanks for the help! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302
Apparently the new version of said mod has fixed the bug.
