MC Dresser > Change Outfit Function Does Not Work

So I've had this issue for months now and it's driving me kind of crazy, lol. I doubt it's an issue with MCCC itself or Deaderpool definitely would have had it fixed by now. I'm thinking it's more likely a mod conflict but I'm having a heck of a time pinpointing the mod that's not playing nicely with this feature. I have looked high and low for someone else who's having the same problem with no luck. I seem to be the only person affected by this.

The entire MCCC mod works fine. All the modules are installed correctly and function. The only thing I'm having problems with is MC Dresser > Change Outfit. When I use this command to swap between outfits in the same clothing category, nothing happens. My Sim stays in the outfit they were already wearing. This issue persists 99% of the time. It will occasionally work but it seems to be random because I have had the command work and fail on the same Sim with the same outfits. However, it very seldom works. It affects every Sim in the game, too. I can't use this function to switch outfits for any Sim in the world, both played and unplayed.

The weirdest part is that it ALWAYS works if I am switching between two outfit categories. The only time the Sim fails to change their outfit is when I am trying to switch between two outfits in the same clothing category. For example, if Jane Doe has 2 everyday outfits, she will not change to outfit 2 if she is already wearing outfit 1 and vice versa, but if I tell her to switch from an everyday outfit to a formalwear outfit, she will always do that no problem.

No LE gets generated when this happens. I have looked. There's no LE file either from Maxis or MC. I don't have any duplicate mods. My game is up to date. All my mods are up to date. I use CurseForge for probably 95% of my mods so it's not hard to keep them updated; it's also easy to remember to update the small handful of mods I didn't get through CurseForge. I just made sure all my mods were updated with no duplicates the other day. I've also deleted mods I suspected of causing this, like SimDa Dating App and UI Cheats.

This problem has followed me through multiple game updates and mod updates. I'm almost certain it's a mod that's up to date but just not compatible with this feature of MCCC. I was hoping someone here would know what mod that is so I don't have to spend days combing through each individual package file in my mods folder.

    Hi, I had the same issue. For me, although I didn't want to, I had to remove Lot51's Fashion Authority because, like you described, I was unable to change outfits within the same category too. I also couldn't find any other help on this, but went through my mods and noticed that to be my particular issue. Hope this helps...although I haven't figured out the conflict.

    I have not had good experiences asking for help with anything there. I get treated like a drooling idiot and brushed off. So I was hoping I could get some help here. Or at least someone else saying "me too" so I don't feel like I'm crazy.

    I do have Fashion Authority installed! Such a bummer I'll have to remove it. T_T I rely on it to put my high school kids in uniforms when they go to school.

    Thank you so much for helping! I swear, I was losing my mind and starting to think I was imagining the problem because after months of searching, I couldn't find any documentation about this issue anywhere.

    I don't know what I'm going to do to keep my high school kids in uniforms at school now, though.

    Glad to help! Same, I used Fashion Authority for uniforms/etc. as well. I noticed the issue a few months back, but haven't tried adding the mod back in since. Like you, I felt I was losing my mind as well since you are the only other person I've noticed to have mention this, so I felt compelled to reply (I never do) to see if you possibly had that mod as well. I really do not know why there's such a weird conflict there, but I noticed with having both MCCC and Fashion Authority only in my Mods folder, I still had the same change outfit within the same category problem...and I use MCCC for far to much, so the other, unfortunately, had to go.
