Situational and NPC outfits generating with random hats

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 wearing random hats with the regularly generated outfit. I do not have a screenshot of all of the instances but for example, the caterer at my sims wedding was wearing a beanie and the groom was wearing a graduation cap.
What I do have a screenshot of is a patient at the hospital during an active work day in the doctor career, she changed into the gown and also a clown hat (which is funny but I know is not intentional). She is also one of my sims so I know it's not part of any of her outfits so that is not a factor.

I do have mods installed (better build buy, ui cheats, and mccc), not sure why any of those would be causing this suddenly since it has never been an issue prior to this update but can of course test without them if need be.

    When I have a spooky or incognito costume party my sims are wearing incorrect headwear. It also happens with certain sims when wearing robe at spa. Wasn't present until last update.

  • It seems to affect almost every situational outfit. I had a highschool principal with a hat, spa guests wearing a towel plus a hat and a fire fighter wearing a Christmas hat...

    Tested in  a backup of my current save with cache cleared, lastexceptions removed, and mod folder removed.
    Caterer once again showed up in a beanie and a few hats appeared on hospital patients.

    Also tested in a totally new save with freshly made sims for comparisons sake and the entertainer for the wedding showed up with a hat 

     

  • Please test your issue on a vanilla game

    To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder.

    -  localthumbcache
    -  Any lastException Files
    -  Any LastCrash files.

    Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.
