New cross gender patch really made the game funnier

I'm sure nobody intended it to make the game funnier but when I sent my big beefy male sim to select a new outfit from the closet and he came out wearing an evening gown I about spit up my coke. Hilarious. We've been needing that kind of chaos in Sims 4 for along time.
Good job

Unfortunately it's the kind of joke that's only funny the first time, and once the joke has exhausted itself, it's the same empty shell of a game it was before.
Lastly, many people have genderbended so they could be able to do things their culture barred them from doing. Two of the most famous female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, cross dressed so they could serve on a pirate ship. Also, there was Billy Tipton, who cross dressed to become a jazz musician, something women could never do.
So I don't think anyone should be offended if players are finding the gender neutral patch funny or entertaining for whatever reason. If some people want to create a Bosom Buddies scenario in their game, a drag queen entertainer, or some kind of wacky story about a girl who dresses up as a guy because she's so in love with her gay BFF she hopes she'll win his heart that way, I think that would be great and that they shouldn't get any hate for it.
Taranatar, keep doing you. I bet your sim looked great!

Because that'd be against the rules?
look up Dan Chameroy and his character of Plumbum von Botox!
The Sims has always been an important part of my life, and may it continue to be so! Long live Sims!

I think this patch is great.
It gives more clothing options to everyone, girls can be more tomboy, guys can wear some more interesting style garments. And that's without wearing dresses.
And it also fits well with the way film and tv are becoming more casual about non-conforming characters.
Have you seen The Dressmaker?
What about Versailles? The pirate captian in Stardust? Sure, it was done as a comedy piece, but everyone was pretty open to it.
This thread makes me want to create a new sim, a drag queen stand up comedian... wait, the hairstyles aren't for all yet, are they?
They are, but some of them look jagged/messy/off on wider male shoulders. As long as you check them all out and maybe adjust the shoulders as necessary, you should be able to find something that works.
While I've been aware of the cross dressing patch.... I'm curious why CHILD Mortimer Goth often comes back from school dressed up as a girl? I've not selected any girl clothes for him and as far as I know i've only selected him as a male?
@BlueStreet @rosemow I think the returning back from school in different clothes is a game glitch. I'd suggest deleting the localthumbcache.package file from your TheSims 4 folder and repairing your game.

Hello
Has Mortimor just increased his school grade? There has been issue with sims returning home wearing different clothes if they receive a higher grade at school or are promoted at work.
This link is to an AHQ EA thread on the issue that occurs after being promoted at work. The same issue occurs for children after receiving a higher grade.

Repairing the game may also help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder

I mean, I'm sure allot of people can't help but chuckle when seeing certain people wear certain things. Seeing a really buff guy wear an elegant dress is rather an amusing kind of contrast I think xD
Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.
For me it was both comedy and relief. That genders are no longer defined to how women and men should me. The rules are broken. We stomped on those rules, ate it for dinner, we put our bladder bar back in the green after putting those gender rules to waste and moved on with our day although personally I thought the game became funnier when that nude clothing option (that I have been wanting in the game since the sims 3) was added. I can't tell you how many times my Sims are naked in public from nude dining, nude workouts, nude jogging, nude picnic, nude after being nude, nude whoohoo cause (the hearts of love) should not be celebrated with their clothes on...
Bob Pancakes is the nude one in this household and he has no shame....
Lol I told you the funny came before gender breaking patch lol
