I've noticed this in a few packs now, and I really think it needs to go. Some Sims appear on lots in these completely randomized outfits that I've never designed for them and so they have no business wearing. I've noticed it with my spellcaster Sims mostly, and sometimes vampires, and sometimes other random townies. It doesn't make any sense, and it really ruins my game experience when encountering Sims I've created wearing things I wouldn't be caught dead putting them in. For instance, I have a mean old witch who sports nothing but black dresses in all her outfits. Yet here she is showing up in an outfit that looks like a rainbow barfed all over her, wearing a golf hat, aviator glasses, and arm length gloves. Just no. Whatever was done that caused Sims to put on these outfits needs to be shut off or removed. It's awful, and I hate not seeing my Sims presenting themselves the way I wanted to present themselves in public.

That's only part of the truth. Seasons, Vampires and Get Famous also produce random outfits for walkbys. And Realm of Magic also creates random outfits when Sims visit the magic realm. I don't understand it because these outfits are always the worst.

I just don't really see WHY this function needed to exist in the first place. When there are like 7 outfits you already design for them in CAS, there's absolutely no need for RNG outfits.

And, I think simply ditching the script that creates situational outfits might fix some stuff.
Townies and their randomly generated outfits are a real immersion breaker as well. I think townies should be dressed from the options in styled looks, with the ability to add our own being possible too.
I simply don't bother to change the outfits of sims from other households anymore because of this. They show up in whatever anyway. And trying a historical save with every one dressed in a particular time period is nearly impossible. The situational outfits in the magic realm were so bothersome I even got a mod for that (I try to use as few mods as possible but this one is a must for me)
Without MC Command Center and NPC Control, I would probably have stopped playing honestly. It is devastating to spend so much time in CAS, which is my favorite feature, only for the game to randomize everything into a mess anyway when you are playing the game.
I think it's
MCCC > MC Dresser > Replace Situation Outfits
And then you can choose to replace, for example, romance festival situational outfit with party outfit or spice festival situational outfit to everyday etc.
MC dresser is one of the few parts of that mod that I haven't used so far. Perhaps I will give it a try if it can stop the situational outfit mess.
I don't think the idea is bad. It's that it doesn't work the way it must have been intended. Unless of course it is some sick joke on us.
I just cannot understand why anyone would chose to make this system work the way it does.
This is one of the reasons why I'm not buying the Eco pack. My sims still play musical chairs even in groups and received no response to the scout uniform glitch which puts the boys into girl's clothes and it can only changed back with MCCC because even though this COULD be considered a career outfit, there is no such option for kids.
At this point I think it's part private joke and laziness because it's just too much trouble.
Plus, it's still selling; EA isn't going to bring the hammer down, they don't have to. Heck, people even get mad at the idea of adding things!
