I think townie filters just need to be implemented for them and other things. I grew up a tomboy myself, so I don't mind the shorter hairstyles personally. I wouldn't mind having a filter options for townies since it would benefit everyone.

ENolan · May 2016

It's a good step forward that they made it unisex so that it allows for a greater (albeit slightly) amount of creativity. Just because it is now an option does not deem it an "issue."

Mizz_Creative48 · May 2016

They're not going to change it back over one complaint. Don't use the hairstyles.

Agreed, mainly for the kids though since they are the only ones I could end up not being able to tell them apart.

Polyrhythm · May 2016

They only unisexed 2 hairs for females right now and there's already loads of short hair female townies spawn with. Maybe request a filter like Scobre suggested, but they aren't removing them from one complaint (I'd surely hope not at least)

Yeah, I get kids mixed up more often than I'd like to admit

Zeldaboy180 · May 2016

sorry op but I clearly do not want this to be changed.

(Sorry I couldn't resist!)

On a serious note there is no issue about this.

Cinebar · May 2016

It's not just one complaint. I would like filters for my townies. Always have, many reasons. And I would like to know what is in any required patch before installing. The OP has the right to express what makes them unhappy about the game. Several of my Sims wear eyeliner (townies) and to be honest it's not that attractive and looks like they have a black eye. Eyeliner is a very thin line with skilled hand not something from a horror movie. So thick it looks like someone poked their eye with a mascara stick. I need filters for my townies.

It's not one complaint, and people are getting frustrated they have no control over random Sim generation for many reasons. Now, not only can you not tell what life stage a Sim is, but their gender will be a mystery too. I hope unisex hairstyles will, by default, be disabled for random Sims until we have a means of choosing what features we want in the mix of randomly generated Sims.

I would say there is indeed an issue when people have no control over what changes in their game through patches. Additionally, random Sim generation is also quite an issue.

Oh ok. My townies for that game already look bad because the cc some are generated with doesn't match anything. I want a way to turn off townies being able to use cc. I think I'd still be able to them apart with unisex hair just fine, I mainly can't tell which ones are teens or young adults unless I create them myself

I would love for my game to stop generating those pear shaped men in my game. Tiny pear shaped shoulders, with wide hips. It's just weird. Not too many people I know in real life have that body type for it to be that prominent in my game.

LOL, I think I have the opposite pear shaped in my game. Usually wide shoulders and small hips. I wonder if there can be a filter for body shapes and unisex hairs added to the MC Command Center mod at least.

That mod is going to be bigger than the game one of these days.

Yeah, a lot of generated Sims don't really seem that attractive to me either, honestly.

I have to say, the unisex hairstyles added in the last patch fit in very well with either gender IMHO. I'm more concerned about random Sim generation when/if males have the ability to have some female hair.

Voeille · May 2016

Randomisation can sometimes have weird results not only with respect to hair.

It was a townie generated in September 2014, I’m not sure how much generating sims improved, if at all.

As for unisex hair, it’s fine for me personally, it gives more possibilities while creating a sim, but I do agree that we should be able to easily decide which items should be banned from randomisation.

WissaWolf · May 2016

I don't like the idea of this at all.. I am all for gender neutrality, considering I am a feminist, but this update shouldn't be forced on everyone. There should be an option to disable it under settings. I hope a mod is released to revert it to the way it used to be.

Polyrhythm · May 2016

Townie generation needs an overhaul imo. I've never seen any attractive generated townies either, they spawn in a mess of accesories (like combos of evening gowns, baseball caps, and opera gloves) and overall tend to look samey. Male townies seem to always spawn with hips at max width and shoulders at minimum width, females will have the same rotund stomach even if they're fairly thin, lots of big square jaws, huge lips, and asian eyes, completely random looking families, etc. I knows it's easy to take them into CAS, but still I just want some variety.

MarleyTheWizard · May 2016

I'm ecstatic about the unisex hair, hope they do something similar with the rest of the CAS items!

but I also understand that this is not every ones taste and if you have a story lp with a theme it gets really frustrating.
A filter or some kind NPS/townie CAS setting/restricting would be nice.

I don't mind giving the children a makeover, it's realistic to me. as a infant I was born with blue eyes and really dark (looks black in some photos) hair, around 4-5 my eyes had turned to green and my hair lightened.

Also know of a lot of boy that have or had long hair of their own free will. biggest reason for a haircut is that they don't want to brush it.

@friendlysimmers
It's time consuming, but one option is to go in and edit sim "townies" that are in they mange world gallery.
Bad explanation, but do you get what I mean?

For the wedding situation... I would either do the cheat, find a mirror, dresser or have one of those new dresser in the venue.
there you can also change the outfit (including hair?) of NPC.

elanorbreton · May 2016

Whilst I do not have a problem with unisex hair, a game like this should always be about maximum options.

The fact that patches are forced upon people is a very bad thing for player choice, though I can understand why it has to be that way. But, to compensate for the compulsory patches, they should add filters and options in to the game.

thank you @elanorbreton sure the patch may give us useful things but the when we patch the content in the patch do not always fit depending on the simmer play style or game play we all play diffrently after all

Nette · May 2016

Filters, filter filters. Please EA, DO NOT REMOVE gender neutral things in this game. I want to make my drag queens fabulous without cc. Just give us the tools to keep the sparkly dresses away from the townies. They are not allowed to be as sassy as my own sims.

Horrorgirl6 · May 2016

Honestly to me they should just be male, and female hairstyles. With some hair styles to be uni sex.

They are about as attractive as the TS2 townie pool which no one would let their Sims marry. It hasn't improved (townie generating) in twelve years. I actually think TS1 had the better looking and most interesting looking townies. But they were all clones, too.

SimFan298 · May 2016

In my opinion, townies already randomly generate with the worst wardrobe imaginable. I don't want to see a male, buffed-up steroids townie wearing pigtails.

Unless this doesn't happen. In that case, I don't have a problem.
