Situational outfits

It’s called fashion
/s
For real though, sims would wear anything. I imagine things are marked to be worn by townies and the game doesn’t care what it puts on townies as long as it’s something from the allowed items. My townie had stockings and socks??

A couple times, my first goal at a festival was asking other Sims to see their everyday clothes, just to change them out of the situational stuff. There is no reason for Moira Fyres to wear a full-head alien mask thing everywhere she goes!

Thats why I want to be able to create my own styled look in CAS, and for the game to only use styled looks on npc/townies. But no, they are not going to add that because they don't want to hear us.

And they all have the bug where accessories from other situational outfits gets stuck on them. You can see that in your pictures, they were probably mimes from San Myshuno.

As for why they keep adding situational outfits...I have no idea. I don't think they are playing their own game. Either that, or they think it looks good enough.

I don't mind the weird outfits at a festival, but I detest them when my active sims are NOT going to a festival and their neighbor (my sim, with a specific personality and backstory, lifestyle) walks by (not in festival hood) wearing the craziest things that such a person would never ever wear. If my sim is a character who hates anything romantic, I don't want to see him wearing Romance festival attire. If my sim hardly has money to eat, I don't want to see him wearing a crazy costume that he would not have afforded. And my super porch and top notch sim who hate such events, should not suddenly appear in crazy festival outfits.

I wish the game allowed us to control our sims a bit more. My sims are specific characters based on a lot of backstory stuff that can not be told by what they wear. My entire character building is laughed at by EA when they dress up in silly random situation outfits.

I know the feeling, it's real... This is from the last time I was at GeekCon.

This seems like a good place to ask - is there a simple mod that disables this? I assume you can probably do this with MCC but I assume it's a lot of work, and the mod itself seems very intrusive and too detailed for me, could be wrong.

Here's the mod, you'll have to make a new save though https://www.patreon.com/user?u=23229453

Honestly tho why? ??

I'm done tired talking about this issue and getting a "fix" for it. It came with City Living and festivals and I #BlameGrant. They done messed it up bad and they don't want to fix it.

This is exactly why I use mods. I don’t like situational outfits outside of festivals. It bothers me when I load one of my played households and my sims are dressed in horrendous situational outfits instead of the outfits I spent hours creating. The worst fashion offenses have been committed against my wealthy, snobby sims. ? I’ve spotted my played households in the relationship panel in GeekCon outfits complete with the gold space helmet even though I never sent them to the festival. I wish it would stop.

Bienchen has a lot of mods on her site that stop the situational outfits. There’s one that addresses the GeekCon outfits. I haven’t tried it yet and haven’t played the game in a while, but hopefully it will put an end to those eyesores.
