There should be a costume outfit category.

I would love to see a costume tab - there are so many potential instances for wearing costumes in-game including costume parties, frat parties, Halloween and trick or treating, cosplay for city event, the seasonal events... I always tend to fill the last athletic and swim tabs with costumes which can be annoying when sim changes into a costume to go swimming…

Oh, I'm so on board with these requests! I love to throw Spooky Parties and it kills me that the kids have only two costumes to choose from, which doesn't even make sense because the Spooky pack came with other options!

It's loooong overdue to update the costume options and add a CAS tab for them. And please, please, please unlock the Get Famous costumes, too. Some of my absolute favorites are in that pack and we don't even have a CAS cheat to unlock them unless we cheat the Acting career on a Sim in every household, which I really don't want to do. All of those beautiful costumes are just going to waste, sitting in CAS lockdown. ?

Would really love a master CAS unlock as well, for all packs.

I mean, a costume category does seem nice in theory but I can see why there isn't one since most of the events in-game don't use costumes. Whenever I use the party category, it usual goes like this - 1. Normal Party - 2. Clubbing - 3. Costume - 4. Christmas Party. However, I still understand the situation with the Spooky parties where you already have a "costume" in the party category but your Sims still change regardless. It's frustrating and I can see why you guys want a separate category for costumes. ?

I would actually like more control of "situation outfits", whether they be costumes, festivals, other party events & careers. ;)

Oh, definitely this! Situation outfits tend to be more a nuisance than immersion feature. I spend a ton of time in CAS, carefully choosing each Sim's wardrobe, only to have situational outfits come along and break character.

With so much customization now in CAS, I feel like we could really use some updates to allow players mote control over the appearance of our Sims.

Yes! Also I wish they would put out a costumes kit. It has been too long since we got new costumes, the toddler options are terrible and the infant options non existent.

To be fair, you don't need hot or cold weather categories if you don't have Seasons. It's more of an immersion thing. Costumes are more niche, but you could still have a lot of use if they tinker with it

• For GeekCon, non-played sims could appear in their costumes, instead of situational outfits.
  
• Costume parties, or you could have a parent dress up as their child's favorite character for their birthday party
  
• Spooky Day
  
• You could dress up for other holidays
  
• If the Magic Realm insists on giving our sims stupid situational outfits, at least coordinated costumes would fit in way better
  
• Costume-based bar events
  
• Fursuits and conventions, for when they release The Sims 4: Are You Fur Real? Game Pack
  
• Sometimes you just want to lurk in areas while in a costume

I totally agree with you. ?
