What's up with all the boys showing up with dresses on? I'm not talking about NPCs. I'm talking about characters in my households, that I dressed, but are suddenly wandering around wearing something completely different that does not fit their character. I'm playing a different household, and suddenly see a little boy from one of my other households wander around wearing a dress that I never put on them. I think, "I didn't put that on him." Then I see another little boy doing it, and then a toddler boy in a dress. (No grown men though, just kids.) Why don't they wear the clothes I assigned to them? At first I thought it was a bug related to the mod that lets kids do magic, because I thought it was only happening in the magic world. But lately I noticed they're showing up like that in other worlds too. BTW, when I check CAS to see if they're supposed to be wearing a dress, I see that they do not have one assigned to them. The game just puts it on. It's been doing that for about 2-3 weeks. Since I noticed all the boys in dresses, I started noticing other characters in things I don't remember assigning to them too, but didn't really notice it before the majority of my little boys started wearing dresses when I wasn't playing them.

Situational outfits. Gotta love ‘em. You can use MCCC to replace situational outfits with something from one of the planned categories, or you can mod out the situational outfits altogether with Bienchen’s Situational Outfits Be Gone mod. No idea why the boys are wearing dresses, though. Maybe something flipped the gender clothing prefs in CAS?

I knew there were situational outfits for jobs, but they change their clothes to go to the magic world? I didn't know there was a mod for stopping the clothing changes. I have used MCCC to change work outfits. (One of my daughter's werefoxes started showing up for work naked one day, probably due to a cc outfit being deleted. So we changed her "work outfit".) I might have to look into that if it gets annoying. It's a little jarring, especially if it doesn't fit the character; but my daughter thinks it's hilarious. What "situational outfits " do they have for kids though? (I know kids wear school uniforms for school in Komorebi, which makes sense. I can't imagine any other situations for them to change their clothes though.) Speaking of kids in school uniforms, I'm gonna have to check to see if I can assign school uniforms to children in certain households outside Komorebi! I do have a couple households that would send their kids to private schools.

Have occasionally seen the basic problem with own sims while not played, though not the dresses. Perhaps the game considers everything other than direct play a situation.

I have both Halloween and Summer Geek Con as Costume Wearing holidays, and I'll see mostly kids and teens wearing costumes throughout the worlds. If you happen to have Spooky Stuff, one of the costumes in there is a princess dress.

@Tammors There are situational outfits for The Magic Realm, the festivals in San Myshuno, special venues and some walk by situations. I don’t play kids much, so I’m not sure about specifics there. MCCC allows you to designate situational outfit substitutes. I usually set mine to everyday clothes instead of game generated ones. You still get sims wearing lightweight clothes at the festivals in cool weather, for example, because the game is pulling from the everyday bin. But, even that’s better than the weirdness. I have no idea why they change to go the The Magic Realm. I edit game generated Spellcasters when I catch them there in some crazy get up, and give them something in their everyday outfits that’s appropriate for a student Spellcaster. Then, with MCCC making the substitution, it’s okay. Bienchens mod eliminates situational outfits. I use both it and MCCC settings, just to make sure they’re gone. ?

The Sulani skirts are what my boys randomly wear. It bugs me if they aren't living in Sulani. I wish we could set dress codes for the different worlds. The other age groups would generate with nose accessories but recently I put Bienchen's mod in to prevent that.

I usually notice it in the Magic Realm. I have seen it somewhere else, but I don't remember where. It's common in the Magic Realm though.

I see a lot of children there in my game because I added a mod that lets children do magic. Ever since I added the mod, kids have started showing up at the Magic Realm to practice their spells and stuff. (I'm also seeing unsupervised toddlers popping in, and sitting around by the portal.)

The kids used to just show up in the regular clothes that I assigned to them though, but a few weeks ago they started wearing clothing I didn't assign to them. The dresses were most noticeable though, because we're seeing dresses on little boys that are rowdy little ruffians that would never be caught dead in a pretty dress. For example, we're playing a monster world now, and one household is the mother and child ghost from Ju-On. So one day we saw the creepy little kid from Ju-On walking around in a frilly dress. That was hilarious!

This! Very much this! I would love for my sims in Mt Komorebi to wear kimonos and my Sulani sims wearing the clothes typical for that pack - when they are THERE!

I also wish there was a way to limit traits in the same way. No, you are not an islander, you will not have the "child of the islands" trait!
