Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.53.115.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Vampires, Laundry Day, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Spook Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Change a Sim's clothes and see if they change into something else autonomously when it's not a situational event.
What happens when the bug occurs? Whatever the last outfit they put on is, they will stay in forever unless a situational event like a party occurs or I tell them to change.
What do you expect to see? If the weather is hot when they go out, put on their hot weather wear. If it's cold, change into cold weather wear. When they come in from outside, to change into every day wear. If they've been swimming, then go to a bar, I expect them to change out of their suit into regular clothes. etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I installed the July patch.

It’s most Sims, but not all oddly. I tested a few families and some of the Sims changed when they went out in a heatwave, to work, or after showers, but others were still walking around in whatever outfit I put them in to test it. I had a costume party, and my Sims and several townies I invited are still walking around in costumes days later.

Normally I play one family. I went around the neighborhood and tested other families to be able to answer your questions.
I just tested what you specifically asked. My Sims will wear situational outfits forever if I let them. But, if I make them change back into everyday, they will indeed then change clothes on their own when appropriate (until they put on another situational outfit). And I noticed that NPC's that I've never played or invited to parties, always change when appropriate.

Same for me they will not change clothes at all automatically. I even deleted cache files, took out mods, etc. nothing.

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.69.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have everything
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm really not sure. It's whenever I enter the game lately, no matter what family I'm playing.
What happens when the bug occurs? I go to play my sim and they are wearing a totally random outfit (not work related) that I did not give them. I even went to check every outfit they had and it's not one I've given them. It changes day to day as well.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the outfits I put on my sims.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The one just before University came.
I don't have anything except the outfits are random and not ones I have assigned the sim or work related clothing.
