I need to know WHY the sims makers thought it was a good idea to update it where the children will not change their clothes before school anymore, any why has no one mentioned it? I literally have three teens, two kids and two toddlers. Its hard enough micromanaging and there's no way I can change them all before school. They now go in their swimming suits or pajamas and it kills me. I'm waiting for someone to make a mod for this. Anyone know why they thought this was a good idea? And how do you feel about it?

I thought some mod broke this but yeah my teen sim literally went to school with only towel on. In the meantime I belive littlemssam has a mod that makr kid/teen to go to school always in their everyday/formal outfit

well I found it funny once way before they patched this into the game, when my sim child went to school in his onesie xD It kind of made sense because he was sad and he's generally gloomy but since the patch they all just go to school in whatever they're wearing at the time and it's not funny anymore, it doesn't add to my story like it did that one time.

I think Seasons broke something with the outfits last year so sims would only leave the house in everyday wear even if it was freezing or hot out and that must be what needed a fix. I find that if their is a uniform like say for the careers they will auto change (so most adults and when teens go to work) but my sim that's an actor has been going to auditions in his pjs and it irks me everytime I don't catch it.

Admittedly, I like that the developers are opting for a more laidback and tolerant atmosphere in the game, rather than nurturing the rigid rules-and-control environment that so many players seem to exercise.Some of my Sims kids change clothes before going to school while other go in their undies. I can't get agitated about it. It's just a game =)

This may be a 'game' but players should be able to decide and implement how they want to raise their digital kids.

And I'm so very happy I use the MCCC mod. All I have to do is pause my game, click on the offending Sim, click the MCCC in the menu, select dresser and then choose the outfit more befitting the occasion. But, yes, it's crazy-insane. I just had a toddler twirl herself around, twice and still no pajamas. She really doesn't need to sleep in her full Winter gear, jacket, hat, gloves and all! :open_mouth:

@GalacticGal: why use MCCC? Why not just use the "outfits" option when you click on the sim? It shows you all outfits in each of the categories. I don't use the MCCC dresser function, which is why I'm asking (curiosity, you know ☺).

The normal outfits option makes your sim stop and switch outfits. Which if they’re already on their way out, they might not have time to do before they disappear off the lot. The MCCC option ‘forces’ the outfit onto the sim immediately without them doing the spinning animation they do and can be done while the game is paused.

It's NOT a bug, unfortunately. They mentioned in the patch notes it's intentional. It made me go "whuuut?" They gave no explanation though.

That's weird, my sims have still been changing before they go to school. But recently I have noticed that when I send a sim jogging, they change back into their everyday outfit when they're done, when before they would just stay in their athletic outfit until I sent them to shower or told them to change.
