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.

  • Background: Farrah was at level 9 in the astronaut career. Because she kept getting raise after raise after raise without a promotion, I switched her back to a previous career (music) so I could get her to paint a self portrait of herself in her musician outfit. (I started the self portraits after she reached level 10 musician and switched to a new career.)

    Bug: When she gets ready to go to work, she puts on her musician gown, but she wears it with the helmet from her astronaut suit. When she gets home, she is still wearing her astronaut helmet with her musician gown. It looks funny, and messes up the self portrait (which I can get only when she returns from work wearing her work clothing because I can't make her change into her work clothing at other times).

    The lastException file is timestamped 10:26am. The screenshot is timestamped 10:36am, about 10 minutes after the lastException, but moments after she changed for work, and moments before she left for work.

    If you have cheats on or enabled you can fix this by using the cas modify outfit cheat

    I'm still playing vanilla Sims 4 with no mods, custom content, cheats, expansions, etc.
