really annoying fairy makeup

since the latest update, even though I am not interested in fairies, and therefore will not be getting the new EP, a lot of the sims in my worlds have fairy makeup. I am finding this really annoying. If anyone from EA reads this, would you please consider removing this feature. Just bring it in for those who want the EP, not for the rest of us. 

talking of the new EP, since when are fairies natural or a part of nature? I was really disappointed after reading the name of the new EP to discover what it is all about.

    sheridanhoughton​ Fairies have a strong connection with nature, in mythical terms that is. They are often considered as guardians of nature in some cultures including ancient Irish culture, Ireland has reportedly been an inspiration for Innisgreen. In Irish culture they dwell in nature in trees, hills, waters and mounds. They are even considered to be part of the health and wellbeing of the natural world. It's all myth and legends of course but beautiful nonetheless. I'm personally really looking forward to the pack but I'm sure it won't appeal to everyone, although it's been one of the most requested packs.

    I would second sims player818’s point that fairies are often considered guardians or the spirits of nature. But also, the pack has not been released yet, nor have we received whatever base game update will accompany it, so I don’t believe there’s any “fairy makeup” in game. Do you have any screenshots of the makeup that’s bothering you?

    Maybe is actually the new LGBT+ make up? Its happening with me, like many auto generated townies are using it on the daily.

    thornwill​ I was wondering that myself. Looking at my Townies I'm not seeing it but I've got hats, big earrings and gloves with bright blush on their cheeks. 

    I love the new rainbow inspired eye makeup but add it for parties and formal wear.

    A lot of my townies have the makeup with all their different types of dress. And it is not normal makeup, but starts and things around their eyes.

    This makeup? It was added in April as part of a Pride-themed SDX drop. I can't say that I've seen it on my townies, but they do sometimes make strange fashion choices! Not sure if this is better or worse than the mask my Sim's friend showed up to his birthday wearing.

    Spotted! Finally found a Townie wearing it, couldn't see it before because she was wearing a huge hat...of course! Typical Townie generated with all accessories 🤦. But that means it's unlikely to be as a result of the last update as I'm on Xbox Series X and we haven't had the May 27 update yet due to delays. Just happens to be the makeup that was randomly assigned to that Sim and it is indeed from the Pride SDX with the bright eyeshadow and little stars on my Townie.

    Do you play with mod that would stop NPC being generated with makeup or accessories?

    I dont play with any mods and for some reasons, I have notice almost all men are generated with makeup, most of the time this ugly pride one... sorry not sorry, that looks like a kid or clown makeup, but thats beside the point, that it is highly unrealistic to see for once men wearing makeup to that rate irl so that is extremely immersion breaking... that would be btw if it was one of 20 generated NPC but right now, this is almost all of the male sims, like 9/10. All men wearing this thing on their face, not only that but its applied to the entirety of their outfits... I havent seen any female sims wearing that yet.

    Beside this makeup, there are also earings options that are extremely questionable for male sims... things that was introduced after kits started years ago... like the big type of earings, excessive nose rings and choker etc... this is ridiculous right now. Autogenerated male sims looked like litteral clowns...

    For female this is also a problem, but mainly on the bodyhair vs male bodyhair generation... there are more female generated in my game with bodyhair than male and thats another immersion breaking tweek they did in the past, because apparently some ppl though male were generated with too much bodyhair... weird.

    Anyway, the main issue with female CAS at the moment is that too much bodyhair, its about 1/2 female sims generated with that and also the very weird fashions choices in regards to clothings.
