IS THE HORRIBLE MESHES.
Honestly, thank you EA for allowing this to happen! I'm so glad things like these can finally be in the game and it will open a lot more creative opportunities and interesting story telling BUT what is up with all the bad meshes!?
Like, there's square breasts
and pointy crotches...
not to mention the hair for the male options are absolutely horrendous.
They could have AT LEAST tested all the outfits more properly. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

LOL Those are pretty bad.
Haha, at least you found some entertainment in these god awful meshes!! That's a positive. I wish I could see it that way, I was so excited for this update then you see the sword crotch

Yeah, I noticed that too which was a real bummer. And I understand how unisex clothing and features are really hard to do but I wouldn't mind waiting for a long time to get a much more polished out product but I guess they needed to put it for LGBT month? That or for publicity before Dine Out, haha.
I am very happy with it too! I can't wait to try it out on my game but I wish EA would let things sit for a little longer to be more finished than us always having to rely on patches!! I don't know maybe I'm just being picky haha.
OH THAT TOO! I was kind of irked at that. It doesn't show as much when the tops are not the female tops that show cleavage but its still p annoying to see, ahaha. I hope they see this and do something about that!

I also have a feeling that they may have an automated process for doing a lot of the work of manipulating meshes to fit the other sex's body. Which is easier and quicker, at the expense of things really not being perfect.
I don't really blame them, knowing the volume of clothes they did. I'd go mad hand-tweaking meshes for hundreds of items too.

I'd rather they leave them out and work on the issues than give us half a--ed items lol. Like some items look pretty bad that if they left them out to fix, I wouldn't have missed them. They said this took them a year to figure out and yet things cc creators have been doing (converting male to female and vice versa), they could have at least smoothed out the bad bugs. Then fixed up the minor issues afterwards (a few weeks)?
but maybe that's just my opinion?

You really think EA, in 2016, does everything by hand still?
The thing is though, CC and mod creators have spoken out about how it is fixable and do-able. Yes, its hard, of course it is. I don't doubt that But its not impossible. EA is a big corporation and if a group of players who are doing this for free can do it, then I assume the creators who do this for a living can too. Especially with all the resources they have available to them.
"Heres the problem, “female” meshes have more vertices in the breast area, that’s just the reality of how they set up the body templates. So when they converted male clothing they simply pushed out the vertices to somewhat match the female form, but there aren’t enough points to make it smooth and they didn’t bother to update the mesh."
If some clothing are more difficult and they didn't want to exclude it then they should have just took time to fix that and make it more passable. No one was expecting this update, no one was waiting for it, so honestly why the rush? That's just how I feel about it.
And I wanted to address these problems in the open so hopefully the creators can see this and see how upset people are about it and fix it.

...But that hair has been like that since the dawn of time, hasn't it? It also gets weird on female sims with broader shoulders too if I remember correctly.

Only the clothing items with demand!? Smh. Talk about half heartedness, and here I thought they were really concerned about the community. I'm heart broken, EA! I should have known! What about the small majority who still want nice unisex clothes but have differing tastes from the norm!!
Oh, has it!? I don't use that hair at all so I have no idea, haha. I stand corrected and take back what I said about that hair then.

I would rather them wait before they pushed this update out and get these thing right or at least selected a few outfit chooses to avoid this), but i have a feeling they pushed it out because it's LGBT month, or a publicity stunt before Dine Out come out. I like the clothing but i rather not have my male sims go from flat chested to having a C size chest that popped out of nowhere. Heck Modder can make dress for male without having all these issues.
EDIT: Just think it took them a year to do this, so i don't see these meshes being fixed.
Look at his chest! You can still see where they textured it darker due to the female features. It is nice tho and most of the female clothing seems to work flawlessly for dudes. Some of the tops really seem unisex to begin with (The jacket with the rolled up sleeves is nice)
Considering modders were able to do it, there is no excuse for a team of Engineers to do it. Also, as I said, several modders have CONVERTED clothes to the opposite sex (converted in the key word here because thats different than making something specifically for the other sex) and they succeeded just fine with no weird textural issues.......and they don't have the budget EA has and do it for free.......
Although honestly as long as I don't have a bunch of bugs added with the patch I don't mind.
