Please remove: pear-shaped male Sim body shape

They shouldn't remove it, because what if someone is pear-shaped and they want to make a sim self? The way townies are generated should definitely be changed though.

You can always pull at your Sim in CAS to make its pear-shaped. Doesn't mean there has to be a pear "template" present, because townies use it and overly so.

I do not agree with it being removed as I enjoy NPC diversity, BUT I have noticed that it is the shape that a dominate of generated Sims do have, which is an atrocious eyesore that has led me to download several mods to combat it. The way townies get generated does need an update, especially when it comes to the names as well, because ever since City Living, many townies also have the same name!

Yes. But you forget the thick thighs that also come with it. I don't mind beer bellies or even obese Sims - just that darn pear-shape where hips are twice the width of the shoulders. I can accept it in female Sims, but way more than half of my male population is generated as pears. Not good.

I agree that the names are terribly generated as well. But so is clothing! Townies need a major overhaul.

i agree, i hate this shape. literally no one is shaped like that irl, those shoulders are absurd. it doesn't help that like 90% of my townies spawn with it, further fueling my hatred for these pear sims.
there should be a way for us to customize the way townies are randomized, i.e we can choose which body shapes are used, which clothes, hairstyles, whatever.

Oh right, I hate that body shape and never use it.

Hahaha so much hate for my pear-shaped brethren! They need representation too ya heard?

Mind that this is an in-game thing concerning characters made up of polygons, not real people. Do seperate.

I could easily live with the odd pear, but 90%? No. And it doesn't help that a majority of them are balding and feature the Santa beard on top of everything (plus have the same Asian name and eyes already used in 50% other townies). The over-representation is the problem rather than the shape itself. Although, I'm sure not many wouldn't object to a population mainly consisting of gymrats. Only, perhaps, if they were all female Y-shapes.

Like with quite a few other features in The Sims 4, there is no meaningful balance attached to the randomly generated townies. It's an immense eyesore and takes away from the gaming experience. I never want my Sims to interact with the randomly generated townies, because I don't want their hideous existence in my Sim's relationship panel.

LOL the townies are always built so weird.

If you remove that shape Jefferey Landgraab will cease to exist! :o

Lol, just kidding. I guess I don't pay that much attention to the townies because I've never noticed this as a major problem.
