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.

Not everybody is casual Californian. This may be a 'game' but players should be able to decide and implement how they want to raise their digital kids.

And not everybody is American even. We don't have school uniforms in my country, for example. ;)

But to the original question: I think that it's a bug and I thought they fixed it. It wouldn't bother me personally, other than when the child is affected badly by weather because of what they wear.

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.

Yes, they changed this, and previously it was the children who they stopped from changing. I hate it, I've played for years now and having to remember to make teens and kids change for school after all this time is aggrivating.

LittleMsSams has a mod fix for the children already, I'm hoping she will eventually do one for teens too.

So far all my sims change into everyday or work outfits when they leave for work or school. Sometimes they even manage to change into their winter wear if it nis cold. They won't even go out in the back yard to put the trash out without getting dressed.
