[DO] Custom uniforms do not save and always revert back to defaults

What it says on the tin. I'm playing on a Mac, building up Newcrest with a few themed restaurants with customized menus and uniforms. However when I exit the game, go to manage worlds, or try to play with the household that owns said restaurants, it always reverts back to the default uniforms for chefs, hosts, and waiters instead of what I created. Sometimes the custom uniforms are saved in restaurant settings, so all I have to do is go back and select them. Other times, they're completely gone and I have to create them all over again. It's super annoying. 

I've seen one other thread from a couple months ago where the poster reported a similar issue, but it wasn't resolved as the post had a list of other issues they seemed more concerned with addressing.

    Hi crinrict​ Thank you for your reply.

    1. I went into my test save and tried the custom outfit. As a result, the outfit is applied to the staff when I enter Live Mode. However, if I switch back to Build Mode, it reverts to the default outfit — the first preset assigned to that role.

    Before leaving the Build Mode new custom outfits are selected: 

    LIVE Mode: 

    Back to a Build Mode - outfits are reverted: 

    2. I also tested club outfits, since I saw you mention them in one of your previous messages — no issues there. Club members (except my sim for some reason, but its not a big deal) arrived in the correct outfits, and they didn’t revert even after traveling between lots.

    3. I also tried setting up outfits in Custom Venues in my main save file, and they work correctly there as well.

    It seems like restaurants are the only ones glitching in my game.

    Updated: Ah, I forgot to mention — if I change the outfit (uniform) while I’m visiting the restaurant, the Sims who are already on the lot switch to the correct one. However, once their shift ends and new Sims spawn, they appear in the default uniforms again. The same thing happens if I leave the lot and return later.

    New updated Save

    Hi Genevieve4​ 

    there's been a few different issues with uniforms over the years so just making sure we get the correct one.

    If you design your own, does that stick or also not ?

    Hi crinrict​ 

    I also encountered the same issue.

    Windows player.

    I own all the packs up to this date (23.10.2025) Game version 1.118.257.1020

    I use mods for my main save. 

    I did 2 test: 1st my main save but removed mods and 2d created a new save while mods were out and cache was clean. 

    Based on the above, the issue is present in both tests. See details bellow.

    What I mean by *Default outfit -  just the first premade outfit in the selection for the role.

    Test 1. Main save - mods removed, clear cache.

    Host (elderly lady) is wearing a random outfit from the selection of outfits. The options that are set up clearly shows different. 

    I went ahead and switched to a different outfit—it saved for a moment, but as soon as I left Build Mode, and then returned back to a Build Mode -  it reverted.

    Host also didn't change the outfit when I exit to a Live Mode.

    Test 2 -  New save file, no mods, clear cache. 

    Similar behavior, observed 2 waiters upon loading on the lot : one is wearing the correct outfit, the other wearing the random one from selection.

    I changed a male outfit to another option. The game immediately switches his outfit when I load into Live Mode; however, when I return to Build Mode, it reverts back to the default outfit.

    Link to the new save file if needed.

     

    Hope this helps :) 

  • Hi taj_mal09​ 

    there's a few older similar threads so few questions

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • Do you create them in CAS or are you using premade ones other than the default ?
    • Do you own Go to work, Get Together and/or Cats & Dogs and if so, does the same happen to uniforms in clubs or the vet clinic/retail ?
    • Do they wear them properly if you don't leave the restaurant ?
