    @RavenLure  It sounds like you did the right steps, with the exception of deleting the localthumbcache.package file.  So even if you remove your Mods/CC , bits of corrupted data can remain in this file, messing up you game. 🤨

    Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.  This is found in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.


    Also, did you find any outdated Mods or CC, and if so did you replace them with versions that are compatible to the most recent update?

    It also wouldn't hurt to repair your game in Origin

    The usual order for all of that is:

    1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop

    2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the game folder. (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.).

    3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list.  Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.

    4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty.  Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.

    5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly.  If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method, working in batches to see which CC item or Mod is the culprit. (You could have multiple items causing problems.)

    But it might just be that you need to delete the localthumbcache.package file in your case.🤞

    Please update us on your situation! 😇

      @RavenLure 

      There is a beekeeper uniform that goes with the hat in CAS.  But you don't have to have it set as one of outfits for a sim.  It will be used whenever you click the option on the beehive and I believe it is a situational outfit in that case.  Not sure as I've never looked at it closely.  Since it was fine with no CC in the game when you tested, my guess is that you've got at least one CC clothing item that might be interfering with it from time to time.  I use CC and it's never happened for me.  Always get the right outfit when I use the beehive option. 

      So, I suggest you take a look at your CC in S4S and check it to see if you've got something set for situational and random.  If you find any, change it so it won't be used that way.  S4S has a batch fix for random but not situational and those will have to be changed one at the time.  If you do use the batch fix, make sure that default replacements are not included as those will break.

      Hope this helps.
