I saw same kind of clothing/hair icons in The Sim Supply channel video here and he said his "more columns in CAS" mod wasn't up to date. I know it's not all what you are experiencing and you say you had this problem with a new game, where you had none of the old files. RIght? So there is no old cache files either? I'm hoping maybe this information might help someone more technically advanced person to get some clues what this might be about.
I'm sorry for asking stupid questions, but I didn't fully understand if you have a new The Sims 4 folder now in your documents folder or you just replaced some files inside of it? When I encounter problems with game, I rename my The Sims 4 folder found in C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ as "The Sims 4_backup" or "The Sims 4_glitch" or something like that so I know what folder it is, and when I start a game it makes a whole new The Sims 4 folder that has absolutely no trace of old game files, no cc, no cache, nothing. Then I can test if the problem was some corrupted old game files or cc, or not.
I get what you're saying but even though I have the "more columns in CAS" mod, I tried my new game without CAS and it still was glitchy. I have the new Sims 4 folder but I basically kept all of my save files and mods. before I put them back in the game I tested it without any of my previous stuff and it still was broken :/
Reinstalling the game will not fix the files in the old game folder because it is done in the installation folder in Program Files, and your current game is in the second folder in Documents. To repair files in this second folder you have to do a factory reset as described in this post:
