    Well, have you tried to recreate this issue on a vanilla game with the mods removed?  In order to test to see if its mod-related, you'll need to remove your mods folder (to your desktop) and delete the localthumbnailcache from your sims 4 file on your computer.  Start a new game, bring sims to the gym and test again.  also, before a mod tells you, you should actually locate the patch number (1.58.69.1010) rather than say "current patch" so that people don't get confused if there's a hotfix/update, as some known issues are several patches old.

    if you find that the error is mod/cc related, you should try the 50/50 method to determine which mod is causing the issue.

  • Hello, For months now, my selected Sims and NPCs are not changing into fitness attire when they go to the gym. I am able to change outfits manually, but the NPCs are working out in everyday clothes. Looking for advice, please. Thank you! 

    Edit: If I use the debug cheat Reset Object on the equipment (or pool) the Sim is using, they will get kicked off and changed into the proper attire. Now that I've done this and saved, it seems to have fixed the issue but will continue to monitor.
