When I started playing The Sims, the game was called a “Life Simulation”, but Sims 4 makes it look like a doll house game. I came through this topic to illuminate a fact that has been irritating me o...

insisting men start demanding skirts and dresses to get a little variety in this game is just absurd.
I was talking about the real world.Go take a stroll through your local mall, you’ll see lots of different styles for men’s clothing.Been there, done that, not seeing it.
The local mall has one clothing store specifically for mens clothing, business type clothing at that. It's got a jeans store (men and women), two places that I guess are similar to hot topic (mens and womens youth clothing), and an AU target. Specifically for women, there are about 5-6 other stores.
Women have heaps of options compared to what men get.This is a game, there is no reason for ‘reality’ to dictate what Maxis chooses to create.Then why the animosity towards male sims wearing female clothing? The game allows male sims to wear anything female sims can wear. That is what Maxis chooses to create. It's certainly not reality.
You are missing the point. I can go to several different stores that sell men’s clothing, and even though most of them will sell the same type of clothes they will have unique designs, unique styles. A pair of jeans from location A will be different from location B, there is variation even though they are both the same type of clothing. When it comes to men’s shirts, there are so many styles out there they could reproduce for the game, but instead they produce some froofy vested or jacket, maybe a scarved top. Basically the most unrealistic tops that all resemble each other.
I don’t see why you are circling back to the gender crossed clothing. What does that have to do with anything? For many people that is reality, but that isn’t due to a lack of clothing options in the real world. The suggestion to cross dress Sims is coming from a lack of options in game. Any suggestion for unisex clothing is missing the point. If you disagree that’s fine, but you aren’t making a good counter argument to the complaint being raised.
