Sure, maybe, given womens' fashion is often more varied than mens' in general in real life.
But if the forum feedback was loud enough to push the team into adding some of them to the pack, why were only the female assets added back in? Why not remove two tops from the womens' selection and give us the top and trousers that the man in the art style vote was wearing?
Surely simmers who voted for Style B out of interest in the male outfit deserve those pieces. I know I was looking forward to them.
Ridiculously excited that the concept outfit for females is being added though!!!
I hope my Sims and lots aren't too terrible!

What it boils down to is that I think EVERY item should have made the cut since most of the female items were cute, and we really NEED male items and children's items! :*
(I'm hating the female shoes that were chosen, unless they come in some better color choices!) ;)
The children and toddlers didn't get anything, the men didn't even have one full outfit and the women always have too many. Two tops would have been enough and then more bottoms, e.g. the capri pants (or the full outfit with it), the harem pants and the belted skirt.

Women just always have more clothes and more styles available to them than men - and it could be why there will never be a balance.
ETA - Funny a lot of the clothes chosen/offered for the ladies is style I see all the time in my go to store - Zulily.

You would have a point if the team didn't constantly make the same male hipster esque style over and over and over again. It's grating boring repetive and pointless. Even in vampires where the theme was Victorian the men hardly got any Victorian themed things but instead got more modern and hipster clothes. It's annoying as plum to be honest. And let's be Franks this team can't for the life of them even try to be creative with the male clothing. It's all the same and the tiny selections they give us doesn't help. I'm not calling for males to always get more than females but for the love of plus at least try to get more variety on them and stop giving us the same designs just slightly altered. Where are the male shirts with graphics on them? Where are the male pants that are actual skinny jeans? There are so many options that they just don't even try to make for males. And I have mentioned in another post but why don't males get more stuff in packs where there would be more for them like the new fitness pack? Men do generally have more to offer in terms of fitness stuff but you can bet that women will have more than men in that pack too. It's predictable boring and honestly very sexist of them.
Yeah I sort of agree with this. There's so little for men! That's why most of mine always wear the same stuff
What you said!
It's not a matter of whether men aren't interested in clothing variety in the real world (lots of men are, anyway). Your husband could go buy more clothes if he wanted - but players can't go choose more clothes for male sims unless they are provided to us.
It can't entirely be that men have "less styles" available, either. There was a male outfit in the original "art style B" vote, and the top and pants are different stylistically from the assets that won the clothing vote.
So why wasn't the man's outfit included when the woman's was?
Because on the whole people play female Sims more often than males, geesh.
They're including similar patterns than the male outfit had. The shirt that got voted is almost the same and the trousers will be shorter I guess.

Sounds like my vote was similar to yours. I was desperately hoping the girls sandals would make it through. Sigh. I guess two kid items are better than none.

when they get to making models i hope they include more texture in the fabrics. the smoothy-clayish-slippery fabricated open up shirts in bowling and backyard really put me off.
ETA: quite happy to see the first short sleeve shirt with rolled up sleeves. yay.
ETA 2: not backyard, perfect patio. always mix them up in my head. and not first, third. 1st in GTW, 2nd in bowling. but looking forward to it being the 1st with good quality:P
Obviously, I like that stuff and I do like all of the men's shirts - those were all ones I would have voted for with more votes. I like that first women's top as well though I'm not crazy about the amount of shirts that are crop tops in this pack. The tank top and the deep v-neck shirt look a lot like stuff that we already have or stuff that is available in other packs, the v-neck especially. There were a lot of cute designs in the voting options and I'd have loved to see more of those. I hope they will offer a variety of patterns.
Between the clothes, the objects and the art style, some things that I wanted have made it including a few that I didn't have enough votes for. Honestly, that's probably enough for me to be interested when it comes out. I don't need to like everything if there's some stuff that I will use or consider to be a nice addition to my game. If I were evaluating this pack in my normal way, I'd probably get it.
