Wrong outfit spreading like plague

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? One day, one of my career NPCs (Lonnie, who works at the restaurant) started wearing what I assume is his original outfit instead of his uniform. I didn't mind much, since the orange shirt and ragged pants suit him. However, since then, the same horrible outfit has spread to two more career NPCs (including poor Alfred, who works at the agency). It's like a plague that slowly infects my coworkers one at a time. And since I cannot customize them, they are stuck wearing this very unprofessional outfit.
What do you expect to see? I would expect my coworkers to wear proper attire for their job. My sim has to wear a suit when she goes to work and is baffled to see that her boss is not following the same dressing code. Also, I do not expect to see townies changing into each other's outfits. This isn't Animal Crossing.

In the attached picture, you can see Lonnie (right), the originator of the ugly outfit plague, and Alfred (left), his first victim.

Please, fix this before everyone is affected by this plague. If I see another townie wearing this outfit, I'm urging my Sims to seek refuge inside a bunker until it's safe to come out.

    Have your Sims been socialising with these NPCs and established relationships with them?

    These screenshots are from my game. The NPC working at the cafe is wearing that same outfit ever since one of my Sims had a relationship with him.

    On the left you can see the NPC that works at the restaurant in his original outfit. He then changed to random normal clothes after my Sim established a friendship with him.

    Could this be the reason why your NPCs are not wearing their uniforms anymore? 

  • Hello! Thanks for taking the time to answer my report 🙂

    As a matter of fact, two of my Sims have started relationships with Lonnie and Alfred. However, there is still the matter of Rafael, who used to work at the wellness center. I barely interacted with him outside of the current event, yet he started wearing that same outfit as well (though I changed him out of it, since he no longer works there).

    What baffles me is that it is always the same outfit for me, I now have three people wearing it. Maybe they just slapped it on many townies and I'm simply unlucky.

    However, even if your theory is right, is this supposed to happen? I thought the NPCs who worked jobs couldn't get makeover because they had to keep their uniforms?

    That outfit is very common. 

    Is it possible for you to give a makeover to Rafael again if he is no longer working at the Wellness centre? Maybe this time it will last. 

    It is the game that makes NPCs change their outfits as soon as they socialize with our Sims. As you said we can't give makeovers to NPCs that have a job.

    Steps: 1 townie and 2 coworkers so far have caught crabs. A crab t-shirt that is. I'm not sure which one it originated on-- when I returned to the game after months away, I found a crab infestation.

    What do you expect to see? Uniforms on coworkers
