Here, I swear I didn't do this on purpose I was randomizing this sims outfit in cas and here is what the game suggested :





Not to mention he is a father of 2 and I was going to sclupt the mother after him but now I am kinda confused thinking what woman on earth would marry and have kids with him...

I'm actually super impressed that the pink socks match the hat. There's a method to his fashion fail, lol.

Funny. When they mentioned they would have planned outfits or "looks" as I think they call them, I thought that was how they were going to solve that problem of the poorly dressed townies. Make it so there random spawns would draw from the looks, not the individual items. Get enough folks saving and uploading their style/looks that could be drawn from and hey, no more funny outfits. Guess they decided there wouldn't be enough variation.

Wonder how hard it would be to make a mod to do that though? Draw from the planned outfits, not the individual clothing items.

I think they made it just color-matching sensitive which makes sense since you can't write a coding that will teach the computer to have a good taste of style and if they made a premade outfits pool, soon or later we would see some sims walking around in exact same outfits which would be annoying. I think townies dressed randomly in a super silly way adds a certain humor to the game it's not that bad imo.

Lol I needed the laugh I got from these after being up till almost 4 am doing laundry XD

BTW, where'd you get the Hijab that party grandma is sporting?

What

Edit: omg

Been enjoying this thread, and just saw this while playtesting a community garden.



These two women randomly wandered in wearing the same outfit (surprised they didn't Die from Embarrassment, lol).
Earlier in the session I saw a guy wearing that shirt/pants combo as well, so it doesn't seem to be a girl thing.

As much as I need to change them due to my OCD, they do give me a good giggle from how ridiculous some of the combos are.

I grabbed the Hijab from LumiaLover's awesome Tumblr.

So, with the photos posted here, are we to assume EA stretched the truth a bit when they said sims will dress better way back when? Or does this fall under the eponymous statement I believe uttered by Honest Grant, "Things Change"?

Although the matching pink socks and cap is a pretty good trick they pulled off, especially without CAST to match the exact same shade so well. So some thought, however warped and misguided it may have been, must have gone into allowing that pairing to occur so effortlessly.

See, when I heard about the premade outfits I thought they were going to make it so people could save though for future use and upload to the site, much like how you can with complete sims. That would hopefully widen the pool of choices with time. Doesn't seem they did that either or am I wrong?

The shirt says "asoko," which basically means "over there" in Japanese. Not sure if that shirt is meant to be both sassy and prude at the same time or what. :þ

GGTG - Gorgeous Glamorous Townie Gals

I'm not convinced the fashion fail is entirely EA's fault, although some of it certainly is like the gentlemen with the pick hat and socks above, lmao. I've noticed that as I've added more and more CC, my townies went from looking mostly normal with an occasional goofy outfit to much more on the cracktastic derp end of the spectrum. It could be that by random chance the amount of potential fashion fail increases the more options you give the townie generator or it might be that CC isn't getting flagged correctly.

@pentabet -- That's the "bum" uniform. Certain NPCs get classified as homeless bums who live in the park.

I just realized that the bums are covered in paint. Those aren't just any old ordinary bums - they're all homeless painters!

EA is subliminally providing social commentary. Stay out of those fancy art schools, kids.

The shirt actually says "over there, cunt"

I'll assume that's the Japanese equivalent of a shirt saying something to the effect of "my eyes are up there"
