Some items and color swatches missing from game after 9/18/24 update (Xbox)
On my xbox series x console before the update on 9/18/24 my sim in live mode was wearing a sweatshirt that comes with the sims 4 university pack (that I own and have installed) with a specific color ...
An update came out today 10/1 /24 so, before I tried all of that I downloaded the update to see if it would fix my problem and it did, so I guess it was a bug. If I start getting the issue again I will definitely try the save data thing you mentioned.
