[R&L]Lack of clothes for men & infants

There are absolutely NONE to be had for the pack. The CAS short on YT you see clothes for male and female sims, girls and boys and toddlers...but nothing for infants? How often are infants going to keep getting very little now? Even the baby's get new bassinets at bare minimum, but no clothing, new crib or decor for them or at least some new toys? Focusing on legacies and families and such, but it makes this pack still feel pretty underwhelming

And then there's the male sims ratio'd in comparison to the female sims who get well over 60ish items and the males in 30's for CAS for clothing I'm not even counting things like accessories.. Even the hair styles are minimum. I thought by now there would be a much more fairer ratio than this, but it's still the same. Why can't male sims have more variety i their clothing. Not even a corset vest for men in this. It's just very disappointing.

This has been a problem since earlier Sims games.

  • Lack of male CAS is disappointing. I would have wanted armor variants for my male heir :(

    Yeah, crazy how there isn't at least SOME type of armor for male sims.  The one for female sims does look nice (cept for the attached gauntlet finger tips).

    Could have been a lot done with this, but feels like males were once again a after thought in comparison to female sims. Suits and open shirts start to feel really samey because we have so many various styles of it. Was expecting more variety like below honestly.

     

  • male sims have tons of clothes especially with all the dlcs

    cebmarin​ Did you read what my main problem was?

    Male sims always have LESS than female sims in packs and not a lot of variety. Quite a lot of them are the same fit, so many opened shirts now and various items that are recolors. and with this pack in particular it is very much not enough, especially in terms of variety to be interesting in a royalty pack because there's SO many items to reference for royal look, so it does fall flat.

    This has been a long standing problem across many sim games.

  • Also it seems like the men CAS in its entirety is being repeated from the hair to the clothes the devs act like there's is no thread dedicated to this very topic, this has been repeatedly asked and requested multiple times through the years for mens CAS. Then they gave us that slap to the face menswear kit for the clothes looking like it's for ladies then men, I Never bought it. 

    Also with toddlers and infants I'd say we need a CAS kit for this. 

  • I really don't even want a lot when it comes to male CAS.. I just want a few extra crowns and a white tie suit with a sash and brooch like what royals wear..

    An adult version of the male child military uniform and a human version of the cat crown, yes.. Cats and only cats get a crown that looks fit for a King but male sims don't have it

    I made a post urging EA to convert the cat crown for humans (and add it as a crown on a cushion), if anyone's interested in that, please upvote my forum post here:

    Yeah some real samey clothing and hairstyles not understanding why they aren't looking at the threads and more references. That and I noticed they tagged a lot of items as feminine than masculine in the pack like two of the hairs looked to be they could be for mens and I know it's 'hair' of course for anyone to wear, but 11 hairs for women and 4 for men is ridiculous.

    Hot take from me, but the Menswear kit was awful.

  • I feel like some of the devs are feminist there's nothing wrong with that you do you but don't downgrade/downplay the men. That we hear you were listening is obviously selective because simmers have been asking for men's CAS for years and it's men and women asking. 

    Girl do not get me started on that Menswear Kit.

    I am a low effort player for males/men myself, but even then I notice when I do have a male/men in my household, I have a hard time fully dressing them, or giving them more than a few outfits per category, and having them "unique". I do like a vogue to GQ dressed males if I am going to play one, as well as an outdoorsy/survivalist one (which is a bit easier to dress btw), and fantasy outfits are still too niche and too few as well.

    I just think it is a shame they totally ignored the armor outfit for males for this pack. And unless they are literally planning on releasing either a medieval pack or multiple era CAS packs, this was a ridiculous choice to miss out on.
