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? 1.71.86.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? just go to create a sim and dress your sim in a tight suit, most of them look like this on any sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? the male sim's legs look really weird and misshapen.
What do you expect to see? the sim's legs should look normal and not stretched out like this.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
well, I've noticed this bug a while ago and didn't think much of it because I thought it was going to be fixed in a patch or something but turns out that it didn't so I decided to report it. essentially, when I put some of the tight suits on any male sim, it looks deformed and weird around the legs. I tried removing CC and repairing the game but it didn't work so...

I have this problem as well, and created a topic months ago about not the outfits, but pants for men, mainly most of Snowy Escape pants have this weird shape, a couple of sweat pants from University and more in Island living as well, pareo (skirts). I dont think it only apply to pants though, since on some outfits, pants shape looks ok, but then the upper blazers/coats seems stretch out. As I said, I posted a lot of pictures of the bottoms in question here in another post. I wont do it here, but if some moderator would link it here, so people can confirm they have also that issue.

Just wanted to confirm that this is still happening and on console as well. Mostly full body formal suits, especially ones from Get Famous, Seasons, and Luxury Party for muscular or fatter male Sims.

I'd like to start out by saying I've been playing the sims for several years now, I have seen this iteration develop and improve over the years but I'm surprised to see that this still hasn't been fixed despite being a well known bug that been reported for years now, including pieces from newer packs. As a bigger person who wants representation, its a shame how much the deformations limit the outfits my sims can use to express themselves. Especially considering the already reduced wardrobe for masculine sims.
Base Body for reference to show how bad the deformations are.
Also including one of the full body suits that does not deform.
And a pair of pants that does not deform
DEFORMATIONS:
This outfit from cats and dogs has a large shelf of deformation on the upper leg of heavy set sims. additionally there is deformation of the inner thigh creating a gap.
This conductor type outfit from get together has a ballooning of the upper thigh as well as the gap issue shown in the previous one.
This waiter/server outfit from dine out is pretty egregious, the deformation is very obvious, this time with both the gap and the shelf type deformation.
While this holiday outfit looks fine from the front it has some geometry errors and a different sort of shelving in multiple spots (pointed out by arrows)
This sequin suit from luxury party stuff has a more minor variation of the gap and shelf deformations, but it is still noticeable.
In a similar vein this ice skating outfit from seasons has the same issues, though the gap is more severe.
This seasons suit also has a bad shelving issue, and another gap.
These are the pants that have the worst issue from what packs I own, discover university baggy sweatpants, ballooning of the thigh and gap issues.

This is why there is limitations of how masculine and obese we can make sims.
Some female tops morph awfully on elder sims.
They can make one designed for one of those masculine sims in mind to fit, but it make not look so good on normal and worst on skinny sims.

I am not sure if I'm experiencing the same issue or not- but this is the closest issue to my own issue.
The issue I have, I noticed it since Cottage Living. For me the deformed body is limited to the waist and only with certain clothes so I think it may be a design issue. With certain outfits, sims just look like they have a big stomach or huge waist, while they're actually slim. Is this the same, or another issue?
