Issue Description:
During a getaway, the played Sim is assigned to wear Everyday clothing in the getaway planning menu. However, when the Sim switches outfits — for example, changing into winter clothing to go outside — the Sim continues to wear the Everyday clothing base, but accessories from the outdoor/winter clothing category appear layered on top. The outfit does not fully change as expected.
Expected Behavior:
When a Sim changes outfits during a getaway (e.g., from Everyday to Cold Weather), the Sim should completely switch to the selected outfit category — clothing, accessories, and all. The Sim should not retain the base Everyday clothing while only accessories from the new category appear.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Plan a getaway using the Getaway Planner.
- In the getaway planning menu, assign the played Sim to wear Everyday clothing.
- Start the getaway.
- Have the Sim change outfits — for example, click on the Sim and select Change Outfit > Cold Weather (or use the Sim's automatic outfit switching when going outside in winter).
- Observe the Sim's appearance.
Actual Result:
- The Sim remains dressed in their Everyday clothing base.
- Accessories from the Cold Weather outfit category (e.g., hats, gloves, glasses) appear on the Sim.
- The Everyday outfit and Cold Weather accessories combine in a mismatched, glitched appearance.
- The full Cold Weather outfit does not load properly.
Affected Outfit Categories:
- Everyday (assigned in getaway planning) → Switching to Cold Weather
- Potentially other outfit category combinations (to be tested)
Additional Notes:
- The Adventure Awaits pack introduced new travel and outdoor-themed clothing, including cold weather accessories suitable for hiking and exploration .
- This appears to be an outfit layering/override bug specific to getaways where the game locks the Sim into the assigned getaway outfit (Everyday) but allows accessory pieces from other categories to load incorrectly.
- The bug may be related to how the getaway system "freezes" or restricts outfit changes to maintain the assigned dress code, but fails to properly handle accessory layering when the Sim attempts to switch categories.
- This does not appear to occur with outfit changes outside of getaways (normal gameplay).
Impact:
Visual immersion-breaking bug that makes Sims appear mismatched and unpolished during getaways. Players who want their Sims to dress appropriately for cold weather while on a getaway cannot rely on the outfit change system — their Sims will look glitched with Everyday clothes plus winter accessories. This detracts from the storytelling and roleplay aspects of the pack.
