Rainbow eyeshadow gets excessively added to NPCs situational/role outfits

Some men sims (haven't seen on a woman sim) wear makeup/eyeshadow in-game that is not in CAS. 
So you'll see men NPC in gameplay and he has colorful that eyeshadow. I have tried to take it off in cas.fulleditmode, but when I'm in CAS editing that sim, none of the outfits have the eyeshadow on. It only appears in gameplay. I have took it off in every single outfit but it still appears in game.

I'm not sure but it seems to happen in lot of events. My example pics are from Actor career when I'm in filming location just after finishing the act. As the picture shows, it is somehow locked in to the sim. In the picture the sim no longer has the hair of the assinged movie role, but the eyeshadow is still there, it was also in the moviecostume. So even after "reseting" and losing the movierole hair, the eyeshadow stuck. I have also seen it at a debate-event in university on a debater. So I guess it doesn't happen to a regular NPC walking around the neighbourhood. 
And I don't think its linked to certain event outfits by default/built-in. For example the debater or actor, why on earth an policeman in a movie would suddenly after years of expansion pack being out have a shiny rainbow eyeshadow? It doesn't fit the outfit or the vibe of the debater either, so it isn't built in the outfits.

I don't hate the eyeshadow but its starting to get annoying since many of my male NPS's are slaying with their inappropriate eyeshadow in casual events and I can't take it off.  I think this started happening with the update (Beginning of April 2025) that gave us new colorful/pride furniture and clothing, since the eyeshadow came with that update. Does anyone else have this problem?

    This makeup? It was added in April as part of a Pride-themed SDX drop. I can't say that I've seen it on my townies, but they do sometimes make strange fashion choices! Not sure if this is better or worse than the mask my Sim's friend showed up to his birthday wearing.

    Spotted! Finally found a Townie wearing it, couldn't see it before because she was wearing a huge hat...of course! Typical Townie generated with all accessories 🤦. But that means it's unlikely to be as a result of the last update as I'm on Xbox Series X and we haven't had the May 27 update yet due to delays. Just happens to be the makeup that was randomly assigned to that Sim and it is indeed from the Pride SDX with the bright eyeshadow and little stars on my Townie.

    Do you play with mod that would stop NPC being generated with makeup or accessories?

    I dont play with any mods and for some reasons, I have notice almost all men are generated with makeup, most of the time this ugly pride one... sorry not sorry, that looks like a kid or clown makeup, but thats beside the point, that it is highly unrealistic to see for once men wearing makeup to that rate irl so that is extremely immersion breaking... that would be btw if it was one of 20 generated NPC but right now, this is almost all of the male sims, like 9/10. All men wearing this thing on their face, not only that but its applied to the entirety of their outfits... I havent seen any female sims wearing that yet.

    Beside this makeup, there are also earings options that are extremely questionable for male sims... things that was introduced after kits started years ago... like the big type of earings, excessive nose rings and choker etc... this is ridiculous right now. Autogenerated male sims looked like litteral clowns...

    For female this is also a problem, but mainly on the bodyhair vs male bodyhair generation... there are more female generated in my game with bodyhair than male and thats another immersion breaking tweek they did in the past, because apparently some ppl though male were generated with too much bodyhair... weird.

    Anyway, the main issue with female CAS at the moment is that too much bodyhair, its about 1/2 female sims generated with that and also the very weird fashions choices in regards to clothings.

    Hi Cade, 
    Happy to send you my save file, if it would help you/us. 
    After my message from two months ago the problem quieted down a bit, but re-surfaced a week or so ago.
    However, I don't use either OneDrive or GoogleDrive.....and the save file has approx. 14.850 KB of data. 
    Can I send that as a direct attachment??
