Sims' portrait's outfit changes/reverts when traveling

I noticed after updating my game to the latest version that whenever my sims travel to a different lot, the outfit that they're wearing shown at their portrait at the bottom left changes/reverts to the outfit that they're wearing from the last time I've manually saved in that specific outfit. In the attachments is a new game in a fresh new Sims 4 folder after repairing the game where:

  1. My sim loaded into a new empty lot in the red striped shirt+jacket. I then changed his outfit into the suit and after traveling to another lot (desert bloom), he's still wearing the suit but the outfit in his portrait reverts to the initial outfit he was wearing.
  2.  I changed his outfit once again into the denim top/shorts one (his portrait also changed to display the correct outfit after choosing to change his outfit) and traveled to the rattlesnake juice and once again, it reverted back to the red striped shirt combo. I then saved with him wearing the denim top/shorts.
  3. I change his outfit once again to one where he's wearing a hat and black overalls and travel to the futures past and the portrait outfit changed but now it's showing the denim top outfit instead of the red stripe shirt outfit.

    I've tried to delete the localthumbcache and localsimtexturecache files to see if it solves it but the issue still happens after opening the game.

    Did you test it and you don't have the issue ? I 'm seeing the same in my game.

    It changes fine when you first change outfit but after travelling it reverts.

    Something similar happened to me. Saved when they where in the sauna and no matter what they dressed in next the images stayed "naked with a towel". 

  • Have you tried deleting the localthumbcache.package file in your The Sims 4 folder? It stores images of sims for faster loading, but it can also cause old images to stick when they're not supposed to.
