Personally I hate situational outfits, I spend hours customizing each of my sims outfits to fit their personal style, just to see a cold hearted, black souled vampire walk arround in a pink shirt during the romance festival (which I didnt even send him too...but different problem) and why do even my spellcasters change their clothes when going to the magic realm? Whyyy?Who ever thought this was a good idea?But hey, maybe I am the minority, what do you think about situational outfits?

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 disastersI 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.

it would have been nice if we could disable them or select the outfit ourselves.

exactly.
Wouldn't hate situational outfits if it was optional and changeable.

just like many things in this game... lack of customization and toggles kills all the fun and makes things frustrating and annoying

Ooof, glad I am not the only one who dislikes them..
wish there was a toggle to at least turn them off for our own households, I dont care what NPCs are wearing but MY sims have their outfits for a reason!
Also, why do they have to change into CoL clothes for the finchwick fair? just stupid..

I'm using mods to get rid of all situation outfits possible... because I HATE them with a burning passion! Who thought random situational outfits were a good idea?

I would love to see situational outfits completely removed from the game.

I’m not sure if the magic realm is a bug or what.. but I recently revisited the realm with a new spellcaster sim I made, and my old spellcaster sims all turned up in not only messed up outfits, but made 2/3 changes over the course of my visit. Of course not one outfit was one I had given them.. So annoying.

Honestly do the developers even play the sims 4, some of the bugs are so jarring.. not to mention the amount of critical bugs that ship with brand new content ?

I try my best to defend this game but they don’t make it easy lol

I kind of alternate between "I don't care" and "I want them gone". I think I agree with @MDianaSims that they are a nice idea executed badly. I hope I could at least be able to opt certain sims out of the system. Because it's with certain sims that the system gets really annoying and immersion breaking whereas with some other sims I don't mind it at all.

I don't think I have ever hated anything more than situational outfits in a sims game ever.

Situational outfits really scream "I'm having an emotional breakdown, please don't bother me". :D

No idea why they thought throwing random mismatched clothing together was a good idea.

I use a mod that eliminates 90% of the problems with those outfits, but I wish I wasn't forced to use a mod at all. Same goes for those silly meaningless autonomous actions my Sims would do every few minutes if I played a mod-free game. And don't forget about some of the party and formal outfits those townies come up with. :#
