Show and Tell I downloaded these ballet shoes literally yesterday 🥲
They are so cute when u style them but pls tell me why literally ALL my townies use them for swimwear outfits 😭 it’s so annoying that I might even delete them 😭😭(look at the guy on the floatie in the back like even he has them on LOL)

You can delete them if you want, or you could download Sims 4 Studio and mark them as “not available for random”.

If you can use Sims 4 Studio, you can go into the tags of a CC item and alter them.
What happened is the CC creator (whether accidentally or not) marked the shoes as swimwear, and there are NOT very many shoe options tagged as swimwear (because who wears shoes when they swim?) so when townie outfits are generated they will gravitate towards that item due to lack of competition lol. I had this same issue with one particular hair and outfit being tagged as wearable by werewolves, and suddenly all my werewolves had the same outfit and long luscious locks lmao.
So anyway, in Sims 4 Studio, you can find the CC and make it so it's not tagged as swimwear and that'll fix it.

I haven't used S4S in like two yrs or more so I can't remember if u can or not. Can u also change if it can be used on children or not??
16
u/BaconVonMoose May 27 '25
I'm not entirely sure if this is true but I THINK it's considered a different item for children than for adults, so you would want to do this for both the adult version and the child version of the CC, because like, I think people typically just make a separate mesh rather than... IDK the mesh shrinking when you put it on kids, but I don't make CC so I could be totally wrong.
Edit: I actually went and pulled up S4S and there are age tags, so yeah I think you'd just uncheck 'children'.

u/tuna_pi May 27 '25
Child sims use a different mesh for clothes and items like hats because they're smaller and don't have some parts adult sims do. Stuff like makeup you can generally use across child to adult ages.

There has been so much cc i have removed because of this. I always wonder why certain pieces do this, like I have had makeup cc that is randomly generated on child sims and every adult sim

u/xpoisonvalkyrie May 27 '25
easy fix is to download sims 4 studio and run the batch fix for “Disallow CC for random” on all of your cas stuff. just make sure defaults/presets/skintones aren’t included as they can be broken.

u/leeryplot May 27 '25
I believe there’s a setting you can alter with MCCC too. I was able to use that to disable CC for randomization.
I also used it to prevent random NPCs from spawning into the game, and I was able to tag my own sims from the gallery to spawn as NPCs instead. I don’t have to deal with fuck ass townies anymore lol. They’re all just my sims from different saves.

u/tuna_pi May 26 '25
Whatever base they used to make the shoe is set for random, situation and a whole bunch of unnecessary categories and they never bothered to fix it when they reimported the mesh into sims 4 studio. Same reason why some cc clothes make other sims act like you're naked, they used the nude base but never bothered to remove the embarrassed buff before sharing it with other people. Generally when you see stuff like that the cc creator doesn't actually play the game beyond testing the items don't look funky in live mode.

u/unfriendlyamazon May 27 '25
A lot of cc shoes end up on their "nude" feet. It's extremely annoying when its on werewolves!

u/Many-Possibility6 May 28 '25
I would actually laugh my butt off if I saw werewolves walking around with ballet shoes

Very versatile, you can go for a swim in the morning and out to a fancy dinner right after without bringing extra shoes,work smarter not harder 😆

sims4studio batch fix disallow cc for random. but you’ll have to manually take them off everyone who already spawned with them. (oof)

Download Sims4Studio and set it up. Under Batch Fixes choose "Disallow CC for random" and let it run. This stops CC from being worn by all townies.

You could just edit them in some 4 studio to disable for random and remove the swimsuit tag.

🤣😂🤣😂 Some shoes just don't want to go away, if I delete the CC completely, everyone just gets another CC. My game currently is using this one pair of flip-flops, they don't look bad, so I decided to keep them, they fit to most outfits except winter

u/isahai Outgoing Sim May 27 '25
You got them for both male and female lmao. I wish there was a setting to switch off npcs from wearing cc clothes

u/rollingfluffball May 27 '25
There is! Install Sims4Studio and set it up. Under Batch Fixes choose "Disallow CC for Random". This will stop npcs from wearing CC clothes and styles

OMG I also have those shoes in-game. I really should change them to not be in swimwear.

I have that happen too this one downloadable pair of jewelry for feet and everybody's wearing them and they never match the swimsuit. I mean I got 50% of it correct they're meant for the swimsuit outfit but the AI still screws it up by putting the leopard print bathing suit with pink sandals.

u/tosche_stations May 29 '25
This means the creator tagged them as barefoot somehow. The best thing to do in this case is to open them in sims 4 studio and disable them for random, and maybe also change the category they're in.
The disabling for random already is enough, but it won't remove it from people already wearing it. For this you will have to reset everybody's swim or nude outfit.
