    I wonder, is EA / The Sims team even seeing these posts? They have to know by now that this situational outfit-feature is one that NOBODY wants to have! It's really ruining the game experience. Why won't they just fix / disable this for good?

    For me the Goths look ridiculous. They’re spellcasters, and I play rotational with them. Every time I’m in another household and go to the realm I meet them in different outfits, Bella is always wearing a turban, I’m starting to think that she’s hiding Voldemort under it. 😂 The next time I play with the Goths they are in situational outfits. I change to their normal clothes, but the next time I come back they’re in situational outfits again. The weird thing is that not everything seems to be from the ROM pack, for example they may wear a shirt from ROM but a skirt from any other pack, and then of course they also wear the non-cleared heckload of accessoires that they’re basically stuck in for every situational outfit.

    Also, Morgyn wears random clothes for cold weather, L wears knight’s helmet together with pink and yellow sports-wear, and Simeon wears pirate’s clothes. I don’t even know which situations these clothes are meant for. They’re stuck in it, doesn’t matter if I ask them to change to something else, the next time I meet them they’re in these weird clothes again.

    I have some suggestions for the Maxis team (I hope a SimGuru sees this):

    - Remove situational outfits altogether

    or

    - Give more outfit categories (i.e. like everyday, formal etc) for our sims, one for every situation, but then it would take forever to make a sim in CAS

    or

    - Let us make up to for example five situational outfits per body type and situation. That means, up to five female ya/adult/elder romance festival outfits, up to five male ya/adult/elder romance festival outfits, up to five female child romance festival outfits, up to five male child romance festival outfits etc etc for every situation. And it should be possible to not have situational outfits at all.

    And sims should never get stuck in situational outfits.

    Just get rid of the situational outfits EA, please!

    I have made peace with NPCs wearing ugly mismatched stuff but I spend so much time carefully choosing each outfit for my played sims, only to see them walk arround in those terrible situational outfits, one of my spellcaster sims is now wearing a starwars hat (the one that makes the skin blue) whenever she shows up in the magic realm and I am not playing her.

    Why give them situational outfits when in the magic realm anyway? makes no sense and it doesn't look maical it looks terrible.
