Yeah, I already used Sims 4 Studio and ran all object batch fixes. I also manually went through all my CC but I only found about two that were missing the mesh, I removed those. When exactly did that update come out? There's a glitch thread about the same issue in the "you know which" forum, but they are saying it's a Maxis glitch and has nothing to do with "you know what".

Main update was dated 10 Nov, but I have a couple of package files dated 17 Nov so I think that's the last update (version ends in 115h).

TBH the way it's looking to me (my opinion, I've not looked at code etc) is that it's fundamentally a problem with Maxis' code, but it doesn't actually occur unless it finds broken content - i.e. if run without any custom stuff, it doesn't look for custom content and doesn't go thru a process of duping the outfits. Once it finds something that's broken, the base game (broken) code kicks in and does the duplication. This could either be missing mesh, incorrect coding (as in counters not having the c&d patching) or broken indices or function calls within script files.

I'd say almost impossible to check for unless all the base game code was reverse engineered or its XMLs were fully extracted to look for what could be a needle in a haystack.

Sorry it doesn't sound hopeful but that's as far as my opinion lets me go...

Well, they should fix it if it has something to do with the latest patch. If they don't fix it I am not really sure when I will be playing S4 again, right now I'm refraining from playing because I don't want my outfits to break (taking out the CC isn't fixing it because those outfits consist of CC, I might as well start over completely then because my sims won't be the same without their unique things identifying them....)

This issue  has a VERY rare chance to happen with a vanilla game according to a mod dev I have talked to.

His mod on the other hand, a very popular mod that is is rated 18+ so not mentionable here, will cause this as it is right now.

It is being further investigated, but I would suggest this thread being flagged not as a potential mods/cc-related, but confirm that it is mods/cc-related.

Happy Simming!

@itsug I would like for EA to just fix it, because this is a bug in the game, I have no doubts about it, but they might never do it because it's not causing a lot of trouble without mods... I mean, who cares about mods" "

Maybe if they could provide some info how to replicate it without mods ?

A save where this is occurring would be extremely useful as well, thanks for the help! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065...

Apparently the new version of said mod has fixed the bug.
