Good grief yes! I've taken care of the problem on my own using mods, but for everyone else who can't or doesn't want to use mods, I vote a strong YES!
@FatTribble23
If you don't mind, which mods do you use?
This is awkward. The mod I use is not in itself in any way adult, but it's hosted on an adult (Sims) website, so I'm pretty sure I can't give too much info, especially a link. If you accept DMs, I can DM you more information.
@FatTribble23
Sure, I'm open to DM's, and might already have an idea of which mod you mean, though I'd prefer clarification, if it's not a bother.

I do also have a mod available to fix this. It's getting bigger with every single pack, though. https://deichschafblog.de/bienchen/outfit-mods-outfit-mods/ (lessrandomhatsandaccessories and, if you want to go further, also situationsoutfitsbegone and roleoutfitsdisabledbychoice)
@83bienchen
I have situationoutfitsbegone (though only base and costume module), and I'm fine without the latter, but I'd been avoiding lessrandomhatsandaccessories due to the sheer number of items and packages I'd seen in it some time ago. Still, I'll look at it again, but I'm really hoping for something less modular, but still customisable. Worst case, I'll look into blacklisting through MCCC.
Check out my 'Simming Tips' for detailed tips and tricks (TS4).
I completely understand, though less modular and still customisable contradict each other a bit. Keeping the packages seperate is the only way people can simply delete any CAS item of the mod they want their Sims to still wear randomly.
Modular mods are a hassle for the creator as well, but the community is diverse and so are their preferences. I'm getting so many requests for offering different versions of mods that have not (yet) been split up.

Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
Once a game hits a certain amount of assets, devs should take care of things and make sure there is no excessive usage of accessories when game creates new sims. It shouldn't be that hard to do. No one wants them to disable it completely, just a tune would be fine. The issue is they have bigger things to worry about therefore players are always left with 40374 small annoyances that together are more game breaking than just a couple of serious "big" bugs.
I would be OK with accessories if they were capped at some limit - like each townie had a 90% chance of none, an 8% chance of 1, and a 2% chance of 2.
Instead they either seem to have none, or a huge pile of as many as the system can stack on to them.
I'm a bit worried that once the new nail polish system goes live, this will just get ramped up to another level of extreme.
I don't use Discord because it doesn't support multiple accounts and I don't need folks at work wondering what I'm doing even on my own time. Until Discord catches up with every single other voice / video conferencing system, I limit where I use it:

> @Peppers said: > Not a bad idea but the main issue in my opinion is the random and mismatching clothing. Why wear a coconut bra when you visit the vet in Brindleton Bay? Makes no sense and looks very unrealistic. I am really hoping after the Spa Day update that not every townie (children, grandmas, grandpas, whoever) will run around with colorful claws. I think this would really annoy me.
i hate to break the news if you havent heard but the update made townies worse it looks like, idk if its just cause its not a new save its from around cottage living updates but my townies that ive created are now showing up with bugged outfits.. itll be a different outfit than i gave them but if i go into cas or check outfits in game, its not there.. kinda irritated
I think a decent solution would be to auto-populate Sims with choices from the pre-made outfits. Random color, random style, but already a functional outfit.

I am also playing an older save, but did not have the issue with bugged outfits after the update. If you are using mods, maybe not all are up to date? Or your save file got corrupted? Have you tried repairing your game?
Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
It only annoys me because when I go into CAS to quickly make a sim for whatever reason I have to remove all the crazy jewelry from each outfit category. Seriously, sometimes it looks like they just robbed a jewelry store for clowns.
I simply would love the option to completely stop randomly generated sims to pop in my game altogether.
They're vestigial now, after so many packs anyways, as we have many premade townies, much more resident sims, and the gallery to boot.
Btw, TYVM, Bienchen, for your townielessfameoverhaul mod, that keeps them to a reasonable enough number so I can delete them every other day without wasting too much time.
Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
I said yes, because the hats and turbans bother me. Jewelry doesn’t matter much…… sometimes the socks are atrocious though. But when it comes right down to it I can always go in and change them if it’s not a bug. I’m really more interested in them fixing the gardening bug where my plants turn to dirt piles.

I really hate the turbans, they’re so fancy and they look awful with random cold weather gear. I also hate the thing where sims decide to have three or four different piercings with an outfit.
No, I like my townies being spawned with accessories.
@SheriSim57@QueenMercy agree- I wish the religious items (turbans and hijab) would either be on for all outfits except sleepwear or off for all outfits. Or just disabled for random, so that only our own sims or thoughtfully created premades like Raj Rasoya use them. Those aren't fashion accessories that you add or remove from an outfit at whim.
Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
If the random assignment of accessories made sense most of the time I would not mind, but since it almost always looks horrid I would rather decide and assign these myself.

Nix it.
It's bad enough with all the bad combinations, but also CC often use accessories categories and makes things worse.
A lot of my CC are unique items specialized for particular sims. It doesn't belong on just anyone.
Never gonna happen. People (including myself, often) have been complaining about this sort of thing forever. Like random outfit changes. I have 6 mods with lines and lines of tuning I've modified to fight this kind of behavior, and every game more of it shows up. I even made a guy called Maxis Max who lives in my town, wearing every possible accessory and silly clothes item I could pile on as a loving tribute. It's just another reason I also made mods to keep random townies to a minimum (or not at all).
BTW, one place you can really see this is on warm and cold weather outfits for pre-made sims that come in the game (the ones who come in packs from before Seasons). Instead of taking the time and going in and permanently adding those outfits in a way that makes sense, they are randomly generated every new game. So families like the Goths wear something stupid, and tend to sport nose rings and glasses even if they don't normally do so.
Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
Yes, please. Especially if you have CC, it somehow just decides that this townie needs every single option of piercing available. I mean, sure, you do you if you like piercing, but having the majority of townies wear double nose rings doesn't look realistic to me.
Yes, please. I can very well decide on my own if I want a Sim to wear hats, glasses, socks, necklaces and the like.
Totally agree.
Worst thing I see is when my sim is NOT using glasses, but the game suggested that s/he uses glasses with sleepwear... WHO wear glasses in their sleep if NOT using glasses when they are awake??? To see their dreams clearer, or what?
I'd also wish we could set STYLE per sim in CAS, not only per clothing alternative. I don't know any person who prefers PREPPY full outfits, CLASSY ops and BOHO bottoms. One option to affect all categories would be nice.

As Coco Chanel said, before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off...
