Situational Outfits Yay or Nay?

But, please do take them away after the situation ends. I'm looking at you, Glass Animals t-shirts. I'm still looking at you...

I care when it is the household I am playing. Sometimes the career clothes end up ugly and I cannot change it in any proper sense, which seems kind of counterintuitive if I can set pretty much anything else for my played household. If I could actually pick some of the situational outfits, I would like them even better.

But yeah, want to wear something hideous at a festival, Sim 3821? Knock yourself out. Just be sure to change back afterwards. No matter how much you like that stupid hat all things must be had in moderation.

Like so many features in this game, the idea is not all that bad, but the execution is horrendously flawed.
If we just had, you know, settings for this, we could customise what will be worn in which situation.
But no, we can't even choose if we want situational outfits. Let alone decide what they look like. And some situational outfits just don't make sense at all. If spellcasters have a different dress code in the realm, then why not give them the dual appearance like aliens and vampires? And I never got the point of the fake vampire situation to begin with, it does absolutely nothing but dress normal sims in weird outfits.
Thankfully there are mods, even if I haven't modded out all situational outfits, not all of them bother me to the same extent.

Yeah I also hate that i give my sims many outfits and they use none in favor of fashion disasters

I don't really mind with some festivals but when it seems they always wearing weird stuff I didn't dress them in... yeah thats annoying

I do use mods that help alleviate things a bit, but I shouldn't even have to.

I'm not bothered by them. My Sims always use boring clothes, so I actually like seeing other Sims wearing the most ridiculous outfits.

Anyone mind linking the mod to turn this feature off? o:) Or is it a setting I can find through MCC?

Mod: Bienchen's "Situational Outfits Be Gone"
MCCC Settings:

• Computer > MCCC > MC Dresser > "Situation Use Standard" (The game uses a pre-existing outfit in the respective category).
  
• Computer > MCCC > MC Dresser > "Replace Situation Outfits" (Personally select an outfit category to use per situation).
  

Really want them gone, nothing irks me more than seeing Spellcasters I make to populate the Magic Realm, walking around in random outfits, despite the fact I make their spellcaster outfits specifically for the Magic Realm. The same goes with vampires and merfolk, it's just so...irritating.

I like to go into CAS and customize all my sims outfits, seeing them wearing an awful combination of random clothes just because Maxis thought it would look good during a specific situation is draining the fun out of this game.

Because Maxis never goes back and cleans up these outfits the result is just a mess, sims wearing ski glasses as "rain outfits", sims walking around in awful outfits pretending to be fake vampires, bath towels showing up during Halloween, sims wearing high heels with their costumes, spellcasters looking nothing like spellcasters in the magic realm...

It's just a bad system that is very poorly implemented. You can't just click "random" and think it will turn out good. In almost every situation those sims would have looked fine just wearing their everyday outfits or their formal or party outfits.

I dislike situational outfits because I have no control over them.
There are a few situations where they are useful, for example for selvadorada locals or batuu residents. But why do my played sims have to walk around in horrible random clothing in the magic realm to the point where it feels my sims loose the personality I gave them?

Thankfully there are mods but it would have been nice if we could disable them or select the outfit ourselves.
