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.
