[HSY] Trendi Outfits getting locked [ Edited ]

[ckj0607]

Hi, I'm having trouble selling outfit looks for trendi related aspiration. It seems like anything sold become locked for my sim's whole family even if the family moves into different households.

This seems like a bug for sure since I have 4 high school students and it's getting hard to make an outfit and sell it on trendi, and I'm worried if my sims' descendants may have no option for making and selling an outfit in trendi. 

Please fix this bug. Plus I don't use any script mods as far as I remember.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: Windows 10 Home
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Recurrant/Continuous
What is your current game version number? 1.98.158.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?  EP: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. FP: 1. GP: 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12. SP: 1, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 23, 29, 33, 35.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create custom looks on the clothing rack. Keep using the same items (whatever's trending and preferably more rare, but happens with common items also) until they lock. 
What happens when the bug occurs? I've had boots, pants and accessories and I think a top that I've used multiple times stay locked. I even tried recycling the 2 "tepid" looks in my bag I hadn't sold to see if it cleared the locks, but it didn't. Neither sim in my household can create looks with those items anymore, even if it's the only "streetwear" shoe or "outdoor" accessory etc on the list that day. 
What do you expect to see? I would hope that the locks would clear so I can use an outfit that's comprised entirely of the trending style
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? no
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? not an update, but I purchased Moschino Stuff, High School Years, Discover University, and Dream Home Decorator at the same time and it happened when I started a No Skills, No Problem scenario the first time I used the expansion pack.

The bug template is currently working on/off but it helps if you are not prompted for the template while editing, please answer the questions anyways.

Could you also add some pictures ?

Are you talking about the options on the rack ? They should rotate quite frequently. Are you not getting messages that there's new ones available ?

I think this happens when a sim, let's call them sim A, purchases an outfit from Trendi and then sells the outfit. The pieces in the outfit are still in the Trendi store, but some pieces are "Locked, this item is being used in a different outfit". Maybe this is to make sure you can't create the same outfit twice and sell it? I don't know. The annoying part is when Sim A has a baby and that baby grows up to be a teenager, the new teenager cannot get those pieces either. They are in the Trendi shop, but grayed out with a lock icon on them because they are "used in a different outfit". This becomes an issue with long running legacy saves because more and more items are locked. I even started a new save file, but because I imported a sim that had previously sold Trendi outifts, some pieces were locked in this manner. This means the lock probably follows the Sim. I did notice that if I looked at the locked items, restarted the game, then different pieces would be locked. It's odd that the pieces are randomly locked. Maybe it's not my Sim that purchased and sold them but others in the game? I'll check back when the items rotate, but it seems odd to show the items for sale when they cannot be purchased. It should be hidden or available. I also noticed that unlockable pieces will appear occasionally, but because I haven't unlocked them for my sim, I cannot buy them. I think those pieces shouldn't be shown at Trendi.
