not seeing the change out of wet clothes option

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? everything
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? have a Sim travel to Willow Creek
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims get soaking wet in the rain and stand dripping for ages
What do you expect to see? there used to be an option to 'Change out of wet clothes'
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Not sure if this is a bug, maybe something was changed while I was away. There doesn't seem to be an option for soaking wet Sims to change out of their wet clothes anymore, although it's not needed as they will eventually stop dripping and it doesn't seem to give them any negative buffs. I was just wondering if it has been changed.

    Sounds like everything is working as intended?

    I tested it just now during a naturally occurring thunderstorm with two sims.

    Tomax ran outside to play in the rain and got the happy positive "Great time in the rain" moodlet. He's dripping wet but has no "change out of wet clothes" option, but that makes sense to me because he intentionally went and got wet and enjoyed it, and isn't uncomfortable.

    Grace stood outside in the rain idle and got the uncomfortably wet negative moodlet. She gets the option to "change out of wet clothes" because she doesn't like being wet and would like to get out of them.

    So if you've got positive wetness, then the option doesn't appear. Whether that is by design or not is up for interpretation. My take is that you can change out of wet clothes when uncomfortable because the game is giving you an option to counter the negative buff. But with the positive buff it doesn't need to (seems counterproductive to prematurely end a happy buff).

    @reboot2019 Not sure what you mean ? You can post them in the post if you want to. To upload you need to create a .rar file.

    @simvasion you've misunderstood .

    I had to start the rain

    Then when it was raining I  had the sim play in the rain until they were dripping wet

    Then I sent them indoors - where previously I would have had the option to change out of wet clothes, this time the only option, other than the usual outfit options, was to play in the rain. And this was when they were inside the house. 

    I can't believe I am the only person that's experiencing this bug, and I need to reaffirm that the save file I've uploaded is a new save, is a fresh install that's never had mods or cc.

    @simvasion I apologise, you were right. It seems dripping wet is not wet enough anymore they have to be uncomfortably wet before the option to change out of wet clothes appears. Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate your help
