[GT] Adults and fans wear everyday clothes to dance party instead of party wear

Issue Description:
When a Sim receives a phone call inviting them to a dance party at the Chateau, only Young Adult Sims arrive wearing their proper party wear outfits. Adult Sims show up dressed in their everyday clothing instead of party attire. This occurs consistently every time the event is attended.

Expected Behavior:
All Sims attending a dance party — regardless of age (Young Adult or Adult) — should wear their assigned party wear outfits. The event is specifically a "dance party," and party attire is the appropriate dress code.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Have a Sim receive a phone call inviting them to a dance party at the Chateau (requires Get Together EP).
  2. Accept the invitation and travel to the Chateau lot.
  3. Observe the outfits of attending NPC Sims.
  4. Compare Young Adult Sims versus Adult Sims.

Actual Result:

  • Young Adult NPC Sims: Wear correct party wear outfits.
  • Adult NPC Sims: Wear everyday clothing instead of party wear.
  • The player's active Sim also arrives in everyday clothing and must manually change into party wear.

Additional Notes:

  • A 2017 patch (Patch 1.37.35) claimed to fix dance party outfits, noting: "Sims that show-up for Dance related events (such as Dance Party, Party at the Bluffs, or similar) will now show-up wearing the outfit they have in their Party category" . This patch may have only partially fixed the issue, affecting Young Adults but not Adults. Patch 1.37.35 – Crinrict's Sims 4 Help Blog
  • This appears to be an age-specific oversight in the outfit assignment logic for dance party situations.

Impact:
Breaks immersion for players who expect appropriate party attire at social events. Adult Sims look out of place at dance parties, and the inconsistency between age groups makes the issue more noticeable and frustrating.

    Teens don't wear their party outfits either. It really is a hassle to ask each teen to switch their outfits manually everytime they meet at a dance club.
