Curious since I'm not too picky with some of the clothes I have my male and female sims share but that dress is ugly wouldn't use it the actual masculine looking sets I'm much more interested in. I wish it was more jeans or nice midriffs like the one we got in the fashion street kit, I'll find a use for the rest of it.

Me: Underwhelmed with new Men’s Wear Kit. No jeans! No Leather!
Reads post about potential for CrazyTownieWear ™
Me: (imagining the potential for skirt/kilts plus some of those wacky tights we have) Oh, that would be fun, but is that any reason to get it?
Malcomb Laandgrab: Yo! Player person! I need those clothes. I think I can rock a skirt with a sharp suit coat! I need more designer clothes, and I want a makeover. Make it happen!
Me: But Malcomb, I don’t like you and you are scheduled to die in the Millionaire Scenario I’m playing. I don’t want to wait till December 2 to finish this game.
Malcomb: Don’t kill me, and let the game continue. I want to be a stylish mobster.
Me: But you just killed your father! Your mother is furious! That’s why she moved out! I think she’s going to kill you.
Mortimer and Alexander Goth: Player, we must have those clothes!
Me: But I don’t like you guys! Plus, Alexander, I thought you were going to emulate your buddy, Malcomb, by murdering your father!
Mortimer: Wait – what?
Alexander: I can’t do it in these clothes, I need something new and fresh!
Mortimer: WHAT?
Malcomb: Maybe I’m not really the villain of the piece. Maybe DAD is! It would fit in with the storyline about Mom and Bella Goth’s brother having a long lost daughter, Nikita the thief!
Me: But – oh, wow, what a great idea – but I’ve already killed him! Nancy has his tombstone!
Malcomb: It wasn’t him. He faked his death.
Me: And what about you standing over the piranha pond, making it rain while Grim reaped your father?
Malcomb: He’s a pig and he made Mom give up her little girl. Isn’t thinking he’s dead a reason to celebrate?
Mortimer: What's this about killing me? Alexander –
Malcomb: Not now, Goth, I’m talking to the Player!
Me: Ok, ok, this plotline is too good to ignore. I’ll just have to figure out a way to bring Geoffrey back to life. Maybe he killed the gardener or something in order to make you all think he was dead. Nancy moved out so you guys can try to flush him out. But are you sure you really need those clothes?
Malcomb and Alexander: YES!
Mortimer: Not if it means I’m going to die, no!
Malcomb: Play the game and buy the clothes for later. You know you are going to keep playing the adventures of Nikita the thief. Think of it, I have a half-sister!
And then I figured This kit is called “Modern Menswear Kit”! And then I realized that….I’m not a modern man.
I’m no longer a modern man.
I think I’m a young but very old man. Or a very old young man. Or just an extremely average dude.
Why do they wear that in London? Those knitted tennis skirts/ dresses? Why is that a thing? Is it comfortable?
Mind you, I wore a kilt or two in my days, but never a miniskirt.
Ok so this kit just triggered my first midlife crisis.
Can we have cars now? 🥺

You should watch "Schitt's Creek". It will distract you from your midlife crisis and you'll know - and never forget - who David Rose is.

I had to Google David Rose, he's a character from a TV show (who wears a skirt I think?).
Don't worry about being modern, I've been in my eighties since I was eight. Looking forward to a good mystery show in bed with a chamomile tea.
Sorry about your impending midlife crisis. Quick, get @CAPTAIN_NXR7 a kilt and a Ferrari!
That’s just it. I might have a few sims that would wear this, but certainly not enough to purchase this kit. We need male kits, but we need general use before niche items.
And that's why it's a kit. Niche items. I rarely play male sims and the one I do hasn't been in CAS for a wardrobe change in a couple of years. 😄 I'm kinda neutral on this kit but I'm sure it will appeal to some.
I've been wanting feminine style clothing to fit masculine frame types for ages. I hope that there are some female style tops/dresses included in this pack which will fit male frames also because currently you have to use the ones which are meant for sims with the female frame type and that will give sims with the masculine frame type the appearance of breasts which isn't what I want when I am trying to dress a sim with a masculine frame type in feminine style clothing.
I would say words escape me. But the truth is, I just can't use the words that come to mind because they would never pass the spam filter.
Me: I would love some masculine clothes for my sims.
Sims: We hear you! Here are some lovely skirts, dresses, and knit wear for your male sims so they can push the boundaries and explore their identities!
Me: My sims know who they are. And if they want to push the boundaries, they just go naked.
Geez, I heard it was bad but this is beyond bad. Disappointing but predictable. At this point, I think someone at EA/Maxis is just being insulting. It's obvious that someone has a plan. [Edited to replace a now forbidden and censored word.]
From SimGuruSoph onTwitter:
“We’re about redeveloping and refining old ideas, but making them incredibly modern, and pushing that idea to the point that it transcends things like gender.”
Will the same tactic be used for female clothing? I bet it won't.
^ I just hope whoever is wearing that IRL has very secure underwear on. ETA: the post went poof, but it was a short dress type thing.
I’ve been over here waiting for the momjeans trend to die. It affects me because even the sweatpants I bought threaten to suffocate me. It’s getting worse than I thought if this stuff goes mainstream.
I think I'm repeating too much myself these days, but... I'm disapointed. I read ''Men's clothes'' and I see more feminine clothing style. Ugh!... Like we don't lack of this in game. The only thing I see, these clothes don't have converting frame glitches?
Edit: The clothes don't really look modern either...
Thank you @83bienchen for modding the game. Whims Overhaul is essential for my gameplay.
Ok I don’t get this. Why add skirts most people will never use (or at least not use a lot) instead of, you know, usable stuff, like pants that go past the ankles, more oversized varsity jackets….??

But the fact is that people have been requesting a male stuff/kit pack for years, because we are specifically lacking masculine clothing. So the fact they released a men's kit with feminine clothing, something they could ALREADY do and have plenty of, is why people are upset.
I do like skirts on men, but you know what I like even more in TS4 ? Actual content.
It's been months of visual kits and nothing else and when does it end ?
Is this the final form of TS4 ? Do we no longer get new gameplay, concepts ? Bug fixes ?
Did you guys fire all the coders and animators, and only the designers and artists are left at EAxis ?
I want regular men's fashion. But if we had to go for niche and boundary-pushing, I'd love something less... this. I'd like to see them take cues from the gender**** movement. Or just make clothing that's actually subversive by coating it with very masculine traits. Like for the skirts, add some spikes and mudflap girls. Really rugged, punk-ish jackets with a bra and no shirt. Fishnet tops. Thigh-high boots. Go freaking nuts. It'd be ridiculous and still be super niche, but at least it'd be fun and actually defy expectations a bit.
Oh I would have loved the heck out of that
and oversized long band t-shirts would fit the nongendered agenda too
... its not too late to recolor that tshirt+skirt thingy into one *winkwink*
WOW! Was super ridiculously excited when I read the title of this post!
Then .........
I
SAW
THE
PICS
Yeah .....
Sooooo not what I was expecting!
To quote what I put in the "Man Lyfestyle" feedback thread:
My played male sims are rough! They're tough! They are crude and rude, they have callused hands from working doing "manly things". They have dirt under their nails, they have hair up their nose, they generally have messy hair with no gel or styling products. They are not millennial men. They clean up nicely and smell amazing when they do, but 95% of the time they are just natural and earthy smelling, and "normal".
So yeah ....... EXTREME HARD PASS for me!
But, I'm happy for those that needed more feminine clothing for their male framed sims.
Bravo for the Kit, we really need some expetimental male fashion after 7 years of grandfatherish jackets and torn 3/4 jeans. Makes me forget the highly disappointing laundry list.

But I'm feeling nice today, I think, there are people out there who will like this kit and who will be happy about it.

Ea has appeased my inner sweater gremlin for now. They can live.
Yes my sims wear normal 0peo0ple clothes. Yes it's not just sweaters. I'm definitely not lying.
