Clothing optional lot trait

I was a bit surprised when the game got the lot trait "Clothing optional", but as I think it is a fun addition, I quickly planned to build a resort like vacation lot in Sulani. However, there's so many things I did not yet get to in this game, and I still have neither built that resort nor tested the new lot trait once. Has it been two years?

Well, what I would like to learn a bit about before building, is whether the lot trait works intentionally. Is it something that feel to random, and is worm out quickly? Or would it be a fun concept making a clothing optional resort, community lot with small bungalows or a hotel building? I will know what sim owns and "run" the place, but I will need to imagine a lot. Another hotel I had categorized as a restaurant, and it still has the hotel vibe, and the restaurant podium makes sure the lobby is busy most of the time. But a beach resort might feel differently - would it be better using another community lot category? Might be too much of a good thing if visiting a restaurant if 50% of the guests - and perhaps even the chef - are naked... I won't necessarily send Agnes Crumplebottom there, though...

I understand that "clothing optional" makes random sims visit nude(?), while others will attend with clothes on. Is this based on personality/traits? Or is the "feature" restricted to sunbathing?

If anyone tried this in the past, how well did it work?

    Did somebody try Clothing Optional lot trait + We Wear Bags NAP ?


    LOL, might look hilarious :)
  • I had a clothing optional retail store. From what I observed, childish sims will act embarrassed and not remove their clothes but I think all other sims do. Maybe not Proper sims, I'm not sure as I had the retail store before we got that trait.

    The only places I have the clothing optional trait is the gym and the spa. Neither one should have children showing up as these are adult places. I love sending my sims there just to see which ones would go au naturale. :D To my surprise, one of my famous sims, a musician, wouldn't remove his clothes. I've had a couple of others. I really do not know what makes some shed their clothes and some prefer not to...none of the traits included exhibitionist. :D

    If I remember correctly, I think the clothing optional trait came with or just before Island living. I think they were going with a nude beach vibe. It sounds like people have found a lot of uses for it. The blurr is too distracting for me, and I don’t use mods, if I did use mods that is one I would use.

    That trait is fun if you have mods to remove the censor blur, otherwise it gets in the way all the time they are nude. I had it on a spa lot, and the spa staff kept their uniforms on and there were not that many nude guests either, maybe 50% of them.


    Absolutely. I have such a mod (which I will not mention the name of), and to be honest, I think it's hilarious when naked sims arrive at public venues that have this designation
