All Cas needs to be purchased in clothing store?

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post) 56c4c359-b492-4074-9250-1532e645b12e
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Other (Please Describe)
Please describe in-game customization
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 18/6/23
Summarize your bug I started playing The Sims 4 after updating the game to its latest and began to create a household. When I went to customize my sim's clothes I saw that almost all of my clothes (both packs and base game) were locked and a message said "Unlock item by purchasing at any clothing store". The only pack I can think of that could be causing this problem for me is Get To Work and I don't understand why the items that used to be free all of a sudden have to pay for.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into Create-A-Sim and click on any clothing section.
What happens when the bug occurs? Almost all CAS items from base game and packs are locked.
What do you expect to see? For them not to be locked unless they can only be bought at events (for example the shirts from the fairs from City Living).

Picture to show what I mean if there was any confusion

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

  • can you please explain in details how to do it im facing the same problem

    Hi @randa2255 The issue described here is part of a mod's gameplay. You need to figure out which mod is used to make it so all clothes are purchased this way, and delete that mod. I'm afraid it's not a mod I'm familiar with, so I can't tell you which one. Look through your Mods folder for ones that seem likely. After you remove anything from that folder, delete the file called localthumbcache.

  • @OldManHopposai Do you by any chance have the mod "Thrift Store Overhaul" by Serra? From mod description: Have you always wanted your Sims to be able to go to the store and purchase clothing items then only after purchasing these clothing items they will be unlocked in CAS? Well, this mod does exactly that!
