These aren't NPC's! These are MY sims, and MY households that I play regularly and THEY shouldn't be touched by the game mechanics. I don't know what this weird situational outfit thing is, but it's got to be dealt with and fixed.
No more!
The situational outfits only make sense with sims like changing into towels or robes at the spa or when you see some of the inactive sims in places like Granite Falls who are wearing matching camping outfits from the Outdoor Retreat. Which amazes me as I haven't seen any odd outfits when you vacation there.
Well, they clearly don't want to read it here and prefer it at AHQ, where only bug reports there seem to only matter anymore.
On a serious note; I've randomly gone into townies houses when their sense of fashion was just too out there. I've also added a lot of second everyday outfits for my sims to try to keep the game from generating random stuff. It's worked for the most part.
This is not the official forum when it comes to bug reports. AHQ is the official forum for bug reports. It's very inefficient to have two official forums for the same purpose. If you want bugs fixed, having an efficient process gets it done better. That way staff aren't wasting their time going back and forth trying to piece together information from multiple places when the organization can be done for them instead. You can link to pictures there. It's just one other site to bookmark.
In any case, perhaps others posting here with "me too's" will be happy to head over there where there's a built in me-too system that keeps count and way mods can merge threads on the same topic so staff can focus on actual bug fixing.
I can just make a post here. Which is what I did. The moderators here can pass it on. They must do something other than close necro posts right?
No, there are plenty of people who play versions of the game that aren't up-to-date. The responsibility of the moderators is to moderate the forum. It's not their job nor should it be to pass on bug reports when players have all the means of reporting the bugs in the correct places themselves. The type of bug reports we usually get in these forums aren't very insightful most of the time, anyway.

Actually you can play on outdated versions. You just have to go into offline mode in Origin. I've played Sims 4 after the patch that changed how mods are done and I've not patched to that version yet.
And you'd be surprised at how many of those hoops are actually required.
My brother works as a tech for a local doctor's office. He'll get people who call in with a problem and my brother's asked if they've tried restarting the computer. As that solves a lot of problems. They'll say yes. There's actually a feature in Windows that will tell you when the last time you turned it off. And he'd come to find out it's been months since it was last restarted and restarting the computer fixed the issue.
A lot of their questions are to help reduce those problems. That's why it's what version are you on and not are you up to date.
The moderators' job here is not to pass on bug reports. That's hearsay and an even worse form of bug reporting because then the bug isn't coming from the source and follow up questions are harder to get answered. Not to mention they may get the gist of the bug wrong due to phrasing and then the bug doesn't get fixed because it can't be reproduced because it was described by the moderator incorrectly.
The moderators job here is:
But as @luthienrising already said, AHQ is the official forum for bug reports, whether you like it or not. The issue probably won't get addressed if it's not posted at the right place.
English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

You can just use this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Weird-situational-outfits-on-NPCs-Mainly-Hats-Accessoire/m-p/6904580#M66940
Be aware that there can also be legacy bugs with this for other outfit categories which is why it's important to have more details
- Which outfit is it you have this on ? One your Sim actually has ?
- When did you last play this household ?
- The hot/cold weather outfits are weird too a lot but those needed to be added to all Sims also played ones.
- Were outfits you assigned changed to look like this ?
Please do not send me PMs/post on my wall if you're looking for help. I can't attend to those. You can find me at AnswerHQ.
