totally off topic but did you watch Game of Thrones?

Yes I have! The show really went downhill the more they neglected the dragons.

Oh No Maxis, randomly generated Elder male Sims will not be showing up at my San Myshuno festivals in miniskirt sweater combos ... Is this kit going to include greater control over random townie fashion choices? Have you thought this through?

You know one of my dream wishes was more fitness clothing and last month I noticed the throwback fit kit and went to heaven with the actual gym clothes I wore as a kid, the most beautiful running shoes I ever saw in the game, and the adorable new hats. I love it so much and it has made me so happy all my Sims are so fit and going to the gym in their new 1980's retro clothes. This is a pass for me, but I hope someone else falls in love with this new fashion set and has fun with it.

I think it's gonna be the new plant decorations kit for me.

I really want a toy kit. Just one kit all toys for toddlers and kids.

I‘m dying. People ask for a male fashion kit and EA gives them female fashion for male sims.

Truth! I got hyped when I read menswear... didn't expect to see yet another skirt. What a let down.

I would have been happy with some different length shirts and tanks in this kit, some jeans and a leather jacket. Also, still waiting for that body hair base game update. I mean, that would have added a lot more representation for men than this... #seasonofselves

All I'm gonna say is there's never been an easier year to not buy new packs.

While I'm always looking forward to more Menswear and love alternative fashion, I was thinking more on the lines of Hot Topic or Utilikilts. Not so much on the holiday tennis nerd chic. Oh well. Maybe the next pack will have some good stuff (and Occults maybe??) that I can use.

Words escape me. I do think we need a "cover the ankles" petition on behalf of male sims.

I like some of the male sweaters, jacket & pants. What I don't get is the pretty girly skirts for men. That being said, the pretty sweater dress & skirts will look so beautiful on my female sims.

REDEFINING LONDON CLASSICS
Discover New Styles with The Sims 4 Modern Menswear Kit

The Sims™ has always been a creative destination where players come to express themselves, discover new experiences and play with life.

To further empower players to find new and expressive paths to self-discovery, and to deliver on the promise of providing more contemporary menswear options, The Sims worked with the British Fashion Council - a not-for-profit organization supporting British design talent and championing responsible and creative businesses to further strengthen British fashion around the globe - to Simify an up-and-coming menswear brand and help stretch style boundaries with its next fashion kit, The Sims™ 4 Modern Menswear Kit.

Welcome to The Sims’s virtual closet, Stefan Cooke.

Helmed by Central Saint Martins graduates Stefan Cooke and partner Jake Burt, the award-winning, London-based label - named after Cooke - is un-defining traditional menswear. “We’re taking quintessential menswear items and repurposing them, whether it's through textiles or silhouette,” explains Cooke.

“The brand is about redefining masculinity,” continues Cooke. “We always try to be authentic, and without excluding anyone. We’re about redeveloping and refining old ideas, but making them incredibly modern, and pushing that idea to the point that it transcends things like gender.”

For The Sims 4 Modern Menswear Kit, Stefan Cooke worked with The Sims team to bring a wide-range of new-age menswear to players and creators around the globe. Consisting of 23 pieces, all of which are Simified recreations of real-world Stefan Cooke collections, the garments range from the traditional to the revolutionary, masculine to effeminate, and fusions of them all. There’s jackets, trousers, suits, and shoes, as well as some of the designers’ favorite pieces, including the Stefan Cooke Wool Varsity Coat with Skirt, a design that perfectly encapsulates the evolution of modern menswear.

Alongside the dynamic shapes and silhouettes, fabric is another quintessential Stefan Cooke characteristic. The former brings us deeper into the boundless future of menswear, while the latter pays homage to the familiar classics.

“Each material was carefully hand-painted to emulate the texture qualities by doing somewhat of a caricature of the details,” explains Vincent Joly, Senior Art Director for The Sims. “Exaggerating the shapes and controlling the contrast to not look too busy or photorealistic, at the same time not reducing the details too much to lose the essence of the fabrics. Each piece was tuned to find that sweet spot.”

Burt and Cooke are not just looking forward to seeing their styles democratized and digitized, they’re also excited for the self-exploration that their kit will inspire, both within The Sims and in the real world.

“I hope people become more explorative with what they're wearing, especially if they're guys,” says Burt. “I think it's a good thing if people feel more comfortable and unafraid to wear what they want to wear.”

“Fashion can be about identifying as part of something, but also as your own person. It’s both for community and individualism,” adds Cooke. “That's why fashion is so amazing. It can be the slightest thing, and it can really change how you feel about yourself or what you want to put across to the world.”
