Career outfits
In Sims 3, careers have been added to the family wardrobe. Sims wearing career outfits may become available in the wardrobe if you’ve finished University. But since FreeTime reverted to the default behavior, you might have to start over and make some changes to your Sims’ clothes. It’s worth mentioning that you can edit the colours of your Sims’ clothing with the Create a Style mode.
The plan career outfit mod adds interactions to dressers, closets, mirrors, and other objects that change the Sims’ appearance. Career outfits are only available for Sims who have jobs that require uniforms. Sims must be at least in their Teens to use this mod. However, it is possible to change Sims’ clothes using cheat codes. If you want to try it out, you can use the Ctrl + Shift + C key combination.
Trying on outfits
In The Sims 3: The Journey, you can try on an outfit before you buy it. Selecting an outfit from the rack will prompt a changing booth and your Sim will pose in a mirror. After the change, you can buy the outfit for your Sim or for a companion. The latter is especially useful if you want to buy a dress for your Sim’s date. However, you should note that it’s impossible to buy an outfit for your child.
To try on a Sim’s outfits, go to a community lot and select an item that is available. There are several categories for clothing, from sports to everyday wear. You can also cross-categorize an item. If you have more than one job for your Sim, he/she will be able to change outfits for the most recent one. This does not apply to child Sims, however.
Changing hair
Changing hair when buying clothes in Sims is a convenient way to change your Sim’s appearance. Hairstyles are used with every outfit. In the clothing tab, you can choose from either plain or hat-adorned styles. For example, if you’re buying a hat-adorned outfit, you can choose to change your Sim’s hat from a plain band to a hat-adorned one.
Changing hair when buying clothes in the game is quite simple. Just select the appropriate category and spin into a different outfit. The portrait will automatically update when the Sim changes his or her appearance. The portrait of the Sim does not change if you choose a different outfit. Then, switch back to the same category. This way, your Sim will be instantly in the appropriate outfit. However, changing his or her hairstyle while purchasing clothes in Sims 3 will be completely seamless.
Trying on outfits for age and gender
Trying on outfits for age and gender allows players to change their Sims’ appearance to match their personalities. Players can try on tops, bottoms, and even entire outfits. Though the “mannequin” figure is often not a true representation of the Sim, it can help players determine what outfit will look best on their Sims. Sims cannot purchase clothing for themselves, but they can buy outfits for their companions.
However, many clothing pieces in the game are not labeled correctly, either. For example, clothing for a pregnant Sim does not have the necessary mesh, so the Sims will never see their baby bump. Clothing for both genders can be categorized differently, so clothing for a pregnant Sim can be mistakenly labeled as a baby or an elderly Sim can wear a men’s suit.
Trying on outfits for social events
You can try on outfits for social events in the Sims 3 by visiting a changing booth. Once you have chosen an outfit and entered a changing booth, your Sim will spin-change and pose. Then, you must follow the clerk to register. You can also buy an outfit for a Sim’s companion. If you are going on a date, you can purchase the outfit for your date as well.
In the social event menu, choose a style, and then press “Change Outfit Of” to try on that outfit. After a few minutes, you will see that your Sim has a new wardrobe. You can also choose an outfit from the wardrobe by tapping “Select Outfit.” To change your Sim’s outfit, tap on the corresponding button. Then, click on the corresponding dress to try it on.
