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.

I completely agree - I keep having to delete the Go to School interaction so I can make them not go to school in their underwear... :s

I've been looking for someone to mention this as well, but haven't found anything. My kids will usually go to school in PJ's and swimwear, where before they would always change to everyday outfit. Been thinking its a mod I have, because I've gotten several lately (quite a few from LittleMsSam and a couple from MTS) to get rid of annoyances.

My kids always change twice on their own before they go to school, first to their regular outfit and the next moment to swimwear.

I think that's bug. At one point my kids weren't changing, but last time I played they were doing it again.

As I've been lately playing mostly in Sulani all my kids nowadays wear their swimsuits to school. I don't like that. I'd like them to wear their normal outfits or the ones specific to the weather outside.
