I've noticed this in a few packs now, and I really think it needs to go. Some Sims appear on lots in these completely randomized outfits that I've never designed for them and so they have no business wearing. I've noticed it with my spellcaster Sims mostly, and sometimes vampires, and sometimes other random townies. It doesn't make any sense, and it really ruins my game experience when encountering Sims I've created wearing things I wouldn't be caught dead putting them in. For instance, I have a mean old witch who sports nothing but black dresses in all her outfits. Yet here she is showing up in an outfit that looks like a rainbow barfed all over her, wearing a golf hat, aviator glasses, and arm length gloves. Just no. Whatever was done that caused Sims to put on these outfits needs to be shut off or removed. It's awful, and I hate not seeing my Sims presenting themselves the way I wanted to present themselves in public.

That's because of Sims 4 City Living. The game causes the sims in all the worlds to wear random tourist fashion police outfits.

Seasons, Vampires and Get Famous also produce random outfits for walkbys. And Realm of Magic also creates random outfits when Sims visit the magic realm. I don't understand it because these outfits are always the worst.

I don't understand it because these outfits are always the worst.I just don't really see WHY this function needed to exist in the first place. When there are like 7 outfits you already design for them in CAS, there's absolutely no need for RNG outfits.

I agree completely. The game clearly cannot handle creating decent outfits, which it proves by putting the bleepin' eyeball ring on everyone. The colors don't match and they are over-accessorized to a point that it's not even funny anymore, in my opinion. It is definitely one of my biggest gripes with the game and I wish they would remove it entirely.

Random outfits are one of the most hated features of TS4 and the complaints about them are as old as the wish for a color wheel. They seem so easy to fix (just get rid of them), yet still our collective nauseation has been ignored for years. Either someone at EA/Maxis has a sick need to show us, the buying fans, who is really the boss, or somebody with an equally sick outfit fetish has gotten far too powerfull in the ranks of decision makers. In all the years of me hating (HATING!!) random outfits I couldn't come up with another explanation, and if I really wanted to see someone on the Guru team fired it is the person responsible for not making an end to this sad, tasteless stupidity.

Can we get rid of the randomly generated outfits on Sims that aren't part of their outfit list?

I thought I fixed this with a mod. And a little white later I saw my beloved sims wearing something totally rediculous they would never wear ???

We really need a toggle to turn off Situational Outfits.

I'd be happy if they just got rid of the situational outfits. If there's a festival going on, why can't they just wear the "party" outfits we give them? We have 8 different types of outfits with 5 slots each... we don't need this, at all.

The kindest thing to be said for the subject outfits is unmitigated disaster. Am OK with the idea of festivals but I do wish they made more sense. I can sort of get the geek-con (minus that Saturn 5 wannabe entered via the booser), and the spice festival is OK. The other two, however, are in the 'say, what?' category. The only reason I send a sim to romance is to harvest the plants that are hard to find elsewhere. A waste otherwise. EA really needs to step up their game when it comes to relieving the daily get up, go to work, go to bed, repeat grind. TS2 has neither festival nor situational outfits but is way more fun. Something odd here.

I use MCC to prevent random outfits from being generated. Truly saved my game.

I think it's
MCCC > MC Dresser > Replace Situation Outfits

And then you can choose to replace, for example, romance festival situational outfit with party outfit or spice festival situational outfit to everyday etc.

MC dresser is one of the few parts of that mod that I haven't used so far. Perhaps I will give it a try if it can stop the situational outfit mess.

I don't know even one single person that likes these stupid situational outfits (not that they are outfits, just randomly thrown together items, which is the problem!). If whoever came up with this idea insists on keeping this hated feature, why can't it be changed to use the party outfits we give our sims. Why do you insist on forcing this ~~shi~~ stuff on us?

I don't think the idea is bad. It's that it doesn't work the way it must have been intended. Unless of course it is some sick joke on us.

This to me is such a big issue, and it has been for years on end. It is such a wide problem, every single player has this problem and I can't believe there would be anyone who isn't at least a little bothered by it. However since it has been like this for years and people have been complaining for just as long, but still nothing has been done about it, I am afraid that for some weird reason the sims team has consciously decided to actively not do anything about it. It just baffles me.
I just cannot understand why anyone would chose to make this system work the way it does.

This is one of the reasons why I'm not buying the Eco pack. My sims still play musical chairs even in groups and received no response to the scout uniform glitch which puts the boys into girl's clothes and it can only changed back with MCCC because even though this COULD be considered a career outfit, there is no such option for kids.

At this point I think it's part private joke and laziness because it's just too much trouble.
Plus, it's still selling; EA isn't going to bring the hammer down, they don't have to. Heck, people even get mad at the idea of adding things!
