Poll: Do we need a towniecore crackdown?

We've all seen them, the towniecore mavericks. The ones who've never met a mismatch they didn't like. They don't care about color coordination, stylistic cohesion, or moderation in accessories. Some consider them offensive, as evidenced by this bug report. Others find them amusing, as evidenced by this thread. What do you think? Are the towniecore mavericks fashion terrorists or fashion freedom fighters? Do we need a crackdown or should we just let them be?

  1. 😴 Whatever. You can call me fashion unconscious, but I really don't care what townies wear.
  2. 😎 Let the townie flag fly! The Sims would be less colorful without our towniecore mavericks.
  3. 🤔It's a little much. I don't mind townies having some individuality, but maybe they could make some adjustments to prevent the more egregious offenses. For example, lowering the likelihood of spawning with accessories, or giving each towny a filter setting for color and/or style. (Please suggest a possible adjustment that you would like).
  4. 😱Stop the reign of fashion terror! The Townie Fashion Police have been too slack. They need to change the outfit generation process so that townies can only get their outfits from a selection of pre-set, carefully coordinated ensembles.

Note: We now have at least one comment for each of the four options. If you want to vote, but don't want to write out a comment, you can like a comment you agree with.

  • 😴 I really don't care. 😀 I enjoy the Townie Fashion Police thread so I guess I'm somewhere between 😴and 😎

  • 😱Stop the reign of fashion terror!

    This is an issue that needs to be solved. The company has a responsibility to make sure that the game works by supporting it and it also has a responsibility to make sure that the game looks like it's advertised and the game does absolutely not do that because of this issue.

    Letting the game just randomize outfits results in sims who look ridiculous with way too many accessories, no matching colors and no rhyme or reason behind the outfit combination.

    It completely ruins the look of the game and kills any enjoyment the user might have had dressing up their sims and have them visit a lot, only for the game to generate horrible looking sims with no background, story, rhyme or reason.

    The Sims is 4 is not a game, it's not whatever is claimed in marketing material. It's a circus, full of badly dressed clowns. 🤡 

    It's time to take this problem seriously and do something about it. 

    So yeah... uh... * cough, I feel rather strongly about this. Please improve the way the game generates townies and their outfits.

    please

  • I wish they just had a NPC bank of dev created Sims (from trailers, Maxis created gallery Sims, etc.). I am sure the devs have trays full of Sims that were used for official media.

    Anyways, that or only "Styled Looks" would be used, especially if we can create our own, and get a toggle that says "Use for auto generated Sims".

    Absolutely this. I find them funny every now and then but usually they just kill the vibe. I'm not even an aesthetic player but it just annoys me how ridiculous they look.

    I love the wacky townies. To me they're expressing their individuality and I find their outfits entertaining. I hate boredom in my game and try to randomize as much as I can. Townie fashion is perfectly random in my book and I love it! 😁

    I like them too. I have a sim that is into fashion and photography and she takes pictures of such interesting street fashions she meets. 😁😂

    I'm deeply split between 😎and 😱
    On one hand, the lewks be funny as all hell and keep the game interesting
    On the other, girl, it hurts my eyes to leave the house sometimes to socialize
