I've only seen anything like this once, and then it was on an alien child aging up to teen. I wasn't having her wear the default alien outfit, so when she aged up she got a bra and no undies! and I don't have that "remove mosaic censor" mod but yes, there was uncensored Barbie doll nudity on the lower half.
Going into CAS and giving her a new outfit sort of fixed it, in that when I came out of CAS she was still naked in the front yard (!!!!) but telling her to change into everyday fixed it.
They're not aliens, are they?

No, we don't have that expansion. It does sound similar to what you had happen with your alien child aging up to teen, but we also haven't changed in age on our characters. Its frustrating when you think you've fixed it in CAS then when you get back to game you're sitting there nearly naked again. Just wondering, do aliens have a special default outfit category? I can't check since we don't have that expansion. If they do then what you had happen may be very similar to this but less permanent since you could fix it.. It really seems like part of our former special career outfit got stuck and overwrote nearly all of the every day outfit pieces..
We haven't been able to cause the bug again in a test save, but since we noticed it always wears the bracelet and necklace from an old career outfit that's not even set up anymore we're starting to test with career outfits to see if we can break it that way & maybe have an idea how to fix it once we know how to cause the bug. I am still worried it was the Get Famous expansion that triggered the bug though since that's when it started happening or maybe a combination of that expansion and a mod we had.
We haven't played other than trying fixes and testing since this bug hit since we don't want to go back to an old save from several days ago just to have it happen again without knowing what caused it, .and also don't want to progress on our current messed up save if theres no fix to it & we don't know what we did to cause it so it may start affecting other outfits. We haven't added any of the mods back either which kind of wrecks our game and live in club anyway.
I have a video showing this bug and screenshots showing how in CAS it's fine in there. The video shows being in the formal outfit at first which is fine, then pulling up the outfit change menu which shows the every day outfits being normal in the menu. Once we change to the every day outfit we lose everything except the bra, bracelet and necklace and it shows that mostly nude version in the outfit changer too (but not in CAS still). Switching back to the formal outfit then restores the outfit change menu to look normal until we switch back to every day.then its messed up again. The video is in a game with no mods or CC loaded too.
Do you think it's OK to post the video and screenshots here and maybe it might help figure out what happened? We can probably censor the video somewhat first too, though it doesn't really show anything since it's just barbie doll lower half nudity. I wasn't sure if that was fine to post or not so I left it out.

I don't work for EA so I don't think I'm qualified to say whether the pics would be okay or not! sorry!
Yes, aliens have a special alien outfit that they wear as every outfit, only, you know, she was being raised by a human family so she "went native" and I gave her all human outfits. This is an image off teh intarwebs (apparently it's from the Sim Citizens site, sorry y'all, have a link! https://simcitizens.com/creating-aliens-in-the-sims-4-get-to-work/):
I found a pic, and I'm trying to decide if the pose she's in hides enough to make it safe for the forums! She has no accessories, just the default orange bra and no censor mosaic on her lower half.
Er, here's a link--CM, if this is too much for the forums I apologize profusely! and please remove it. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735942485385412660/797750353520885790/unknown.png

Oh we do have that expansion I thought the alien one was one by itself I didn't realize it was part of the Get To Work expansion. Our characters aren't aliens but it does make me wonder if it's something related like maybe a mod did something that may have overwritten our every day outfit section with something in the alien section that for some reason imported accessories from our career section lol I don't know, it's so strange that CAS can't even fix it.
That picture is like what we see on our Sims now for every one of the every day outfits except for we have a bracelet and necklace. Sometimes we can get a 2nd bracelet, hat, or glasses too on outfit slot 2, 3, 4 or 5, but never any pants, undies or shirt.
I've uploaded the video to Youtube to show this bug in action. I censored the bottom part though there's nothing shown anyway. Still, in case someone has never seen a barbie doll with no pants and gets the shocked reaction like Sims do, I don't want anyone to die of embarrassment! The outfits all look correct in CAS and you can see in the video they look fine in the outfit chooser until you're wearing an every day outfit then that outfit changes to the messed up one even in the outfit chooser. It still shows correctly in CAS though. For a while changing to the everyday outfit would mess up the entire outfit list showing all of the every day outfits messed up. Now it displays them fine in the chooser except the one you're wearing but still has each outfit messed up once you wear it. You can see the other outfits in the other categories work fine. It's just the every day outfits. This was with no CC and no mods.
Hope this video link works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6sIyaGJuqs
Maybe this video can help figure out what caused it and what to do about it. I wish there was some way to edit the save file, I'm still looking into that too. Maybe it could be fixed that way. Or at least just reset all outfits back to random default ones clearing out anything leftover. Not sure that can be done though.
