Playing on Mac, this seems to have started with the July 1st 2025 update. Suddenly sims such as hired caterers as well as with situational outfits like wedding outfits and hospital patients are weari...
Ideas
Thank you for your interest! I’m not playing any scenario, just my regular free play. I was controlling an adult Sim and exploring the Gibbi Point area when I noticed the children. It wasn’t even on the playground lot, but near some of the play equipment there. I immediately switched to one of those kids (they belong to my played households) and tried “Change Outfit,” but it didn’t help — the child kept the mask on in every outfit. Then I switched to CAS with full edit mode — there, the mask was locked, and the child didn’t have it on their head, but I also couldn’t put any other hat on. Once I went back to live mode, the mask appeared again. It’s ruining the game — the kids have customized faces and hairstyles I worked on, and I don’t want them to constantly look like strange bird creatures.
Could you post a pic ?
Can you try travelling to another world with them to see if the same occurs ? Sounds like some kind of situation going on.
Yes, it happens even when I move the child to another world — it still has the mask. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo, but if it helps: there were four children, three that I created (all from different worlds) and they all had the masks, and one boy from Gibbi Point — I also play as his family — and he didn’t have it. Also, one of the children not only had the mask but was walking like a vampire… with that vampire walk style. Otherwise, they were using the playground object, and I could talk to them normally.
Wonder if it's related to this issue: Situational and NPC outfits generating with random hats | EA Forums - 12335156
Asked around on this and CGrant56 pointed out that they are hats so what you describe sounds like a situational outfit issue.
