Townie Outfit Generator Creates Incoherent/ Mismatched Clothing Combinations

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Start a new save or load an existing one.
  2. Go to any public lot and observe the generated townies.
  3. Check the outfits they are wearing.
Expected Result:

Townies should spawn in outfits that look intentional and coherent (matching style, clothing category, and overall appearance).

Actual Result:

Townies often spawn in outfits that are completely mismatched, with clothing items from unrelated categories (e.g., workout shorts with formal tops, clashing accessories, hats or random items thrown together that look horrible). This creates unrealistic and immersion-breaking appearances.

Notes:

It seems like the game is pulling clothing items at random without checking if they work together.

Note from EA_Solaire:

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/information-how-to-send-user-files-to-the-sims-4-team/5048472

Thanks!

    it would be nice if we could limit it too, the way we can limit maximum sims in played households.

    It's still really bad after the update, especially so for any san myushino city living festivals, they just look insane. Please at least give us a toggle to disable accessories for randomly generated sims.

  • Ever since I got the Enchanted by Nature EP a LOT of the auto generated sims spawn with those hoofs as shoes. It's so absurd and immersion breaking

    I would add that cold weather clothing seems to generate a lot of accessories on Townies - multiple piercings, glasses, hats, gloves, rings, socks, etc. They get so cold they wear everything 🤣

    Swimwear seems to always put on the grubby sandals from the Nature's Calling Event.

    garixeris​ See blue box in the first post. It states that saves are needed (like most of the time when it says needs info)

    I explained how to recreate this, I don't think any save file is necessary as it happens in every newely created game... unless people responsible for it don't have an access to the game or are unable to launch it - otherwise what is the reason more save files are needed?

    Just answering your question. I don't know what EA needs what for. Maybe they couldn't dupe your steps or they need it for something else. Usually it's best to just provide the info they ask.

  • I suppose it’s a wrong tagging names in the forum. Seems “Need info” is used as “backlog” for a lot of cases including this one
