Sims don't change out of situational outfit

Bug Description: NPCs wear situational outfits like customs or clothing that's forced on them for situations they are part of. Once these situations are over, Sims are stuck in that outfit. They don't change anymore on their own. They do change if you direct them too.

Symptoms: When changing household to such a family, the member wears an outfit that isn't really assigned to him (not part of outfits) and they won't change on their own.

Not part of this bug: Sims not changing out of Swimwear. If they change into swim wear, they will stay in swimwear until forced to change by another situation or if you change manually. They don't change out of swim suit when leaving the house or travelling to another lot. IIRC this was called design at some point.

  • I play sims 4 on my ps4 and I've been adding characters into my world for my sims to interact with and since the latest update, when I take my sins to town the townies are wearing crazy weird outfits that I didnt put them in. I thought I could just fix it if I went into CAS and changed it back. But when I do it doesnt even show the outfit and when I get it to change back it will just change right back after a few minutes playing. I spent a lot of time designing townie characters and making outfits for them so this is really annoying and frustrating.

    Hi RyeBoi97​ 

    those are usually situational outfits. I merged your post with the thread of NPCs not changing out of them.

    I have townies running around in pirate costumes after pirate day ended, townies wearing festival clothes (city living) after the festivals have ended...

    My own sims also never change out of the spa bathrobes unless directed to. I travel home with them from the spa lot, and they arrive in the spa bathrobes, and continue wearing them until I tell them to change. Sometimes when I have them take a shower, they will change back into the robes after, too. Recently I travelled to the library from the spa instead of home, and they arrived in bathrobes in front of the library during a blizzard. It was a bit bizarre. (Is this the same bug, or should it be reported elsewhere? Is this thread only for NPCs or for all situation outfits getting stuck?)

    Never seens NPCs in spa robes, though, they wear other random things.
