Motoki, as always... you astound me! Thank you . . .

Motoki, look what you did. This is a townie in my new Legacy neighborhood. And when my founder moved in his college sweetheart, she transitioned into the EMT uniform. This is hardly the height of fashion.

I've been playing with a new neighbourhood and AllenABQ's new face templates.  I deleted all chars to get rid of the maxis standard dormies and townies, and now have a whole new set of them.  Since I have Motoki's clothing mod also installed I have a number of dormies and townies walking around in work clothes from careers that don't belong to them.  It's funny

I think the best one I've seen so far in this neighbourhood was the townie who came home from work with a sim in the slacker career - she was wearing the general's uniform.  I like to think that on her way to becoming a 'professional party guest' (do they mean escort perhaps?) this townie put in some extra hours with a military man, and afterwards she put on his clothes by mistake ...

EDIT: OOH!  Changing the subject completely, this is my 50th post and my lips have now been officially ripped.

Haha,well the sad part is, I've seen worse!

If you guys really want I can look at yanking some of the outfits out or putting them into a separate file. *shrug*

[themaltesebippy]

Would you mind yanking out the work and maternity outfits?  That would be great.

[Motoki]

I'll see if I feel like getting around to it at some point, otherwise anyone else is free to do it.

Sorry, I was feeling rather moody yesterday.

Anyway, it's posted. NPC and work clothes are yanked out and put into a separate file. Male and female Maternity clothes are also yanked out and put into another separate file. In both cases they will still show up for elders with the adult body meshes.

If you just want to recolor a work, NPC or maternity outfit, you can drop the applicable file in your downloads, access the oufit in the bodyshop, make your recolor, then delete my file. If you distribute your recolor of a work, NPC or maternity outfit made this way the users who download it will not need to have my file installed and your recolor should still show up for them.

Yayyyy thank you Motoki! You rock

Not sure if this is due to your mod or not, but when I sent one of my neighbourhood teens (Acton London, son of Donina & Randy, grandson of Don & Nina) to Uni with his downtownie girlfriend, THIS is what he transitioned into.  As you can see, he doesn't look to pleased about it and a quick trip to the Clothing Tool was urgently required.

I think the holiday pack caused that. I didn't do anything with the Christmas clothing, they didn't even exist when I made that file, heh.

[Hairfish]

That Santa suit is seen by the game as just another default Maxis skin. So...those of us with the Xmas pack that we can't UNinstall without UNinstalling the whole blasted game will now have random Santas show up when Sims transition to any age group that it's available to.

Shit. Thanks heaps, Maxis.

Thank gods ~ and JMP ~ for the Clothing Tool.

Motoki, I LOVE YOU!!!

Here is my question. I was wondering on something. Uhm, do you know how to make the townies or NPCs to use the clothings list (how I am supposed to express it? a clothing catalogue? I mean the thing which pops up when I click 'change into') ?

I was just trying to make an item to give clothes to some NPCs but actually I can't find a sutaible way. The only way I found working is making them a family member temporarily. You would be truly truly appreciated if you give me some informations on it. And see ya!!! ^^

[Motoki]

The townie household seems to have it's own 'closet' so to speak, but you still can't get them to wear something in it unless you plan their outfit. I know Inge has her clothing change doors, but they only change the type of outfit, you still need to plan the outfit. As you said, you can make them a member of the family, or selectable (though that seems to be broken now in NL) and plan their outfit. Danny (of valdea.com) has a red burglar alarm hack that lets you plan any sims outfit and I believe Monique's computer will do it too, but still it requires the user to use those hacks to do it.

I know you can change a sim's outfit via the 3D ID reference data in SimPE. I guess if you know a specific outfits internal name you might be able to find a way to assign it to a sim in the game. Pescado's clothing tool does have that snarf outfit feature that steals clothes from another sim, but it just puts them in the family closet, again you still have to plan the outfit.

Anyway, I'm sorry but I don't think I am much help in this area. I'm not really a coder, you know far more than I do. All I did was change the age data from 8 to 58 and the flags on the 'hidden' outfits from 9 to 0.

Doesn't the mind control mirror let you do it?  I used it with downtownies with only one problem, that if i teleported one to a house I couldn't get them to move out at all, or else they would take the incumbent family with them, unless I moved in a second one - which meant I still had one left over to be moved out in the normal way.  But I could get them to cook, learn stuff, paint etc., and one or two teens managed to get abducted and get the scholarship.  I also used the plastic surgery thingy on them, and changed their appearance etc., so it seems odd if it doesn't let them buy new clothes with the clothing tool and then select that outfit.  (In fact, I'm pretty sure I did that with some of the downtownies.)

[Christianlov]

Motoki, thanks for you information and you know what? You know far far far much much much more about clothings than me. Go Motoki!! ^^;;

[Motoki]

Doesn't the mind control mirror let you do it?

Well NL makes the mind control mirror rather obsolete since you can now successfully make sims selectable via testingcheats, but also since NL if a sim is not a full resident (making them selectable via testingcheats or the mirror only partially flags them as a resident temporarily) then you can't seem to plan their outfit. I'm not sure if it's something to do with the new outfit planner interface or NL or what, but they outfits you bought don't seem to show up. If you make them a full resident by moving them in, you can successfully plan their outfits. For this Inge's teleporter bush probably works best as you can quickly teleport a townie, move them in and then move them back out via the bush into the townie household.

[ZephyrZodiac]

I see, you would actually need the other teleporter shrub (I just have the basic one).  And as I said, I can't remember now if I changed the clothes of the downtownies I moved into the game this way at that point, or whether I did it after I moved them into their own house.  It may be that I did it then.

[Christianlov]

I think they (Maxis) have something in their primitive in that clothing catalogue dialog, and they changed it in NL.

[Simsample]

Thankyou Motoki!

[Simsbaby]

This is the best thing that I have ever seen! Anyway, could you edit this and allow adults and elders to wear the young adult clothing?

[Dea]

I love the Elder Hide one.  Not one of my elders wheres maxis clothes anyway so why have them.  Is there anyway to make all other ages hide.

[Snowy]

Hello!! I am Brand New here.. and I LOVE it already! I do so hate the way Maxis made 'elders'. Thank you for this wonderful gift!!!

[Meska]

Thank you.

This doesn't seem to be working with OFB, or it's conflicting with Pescado's clothing mod.  Although I can purchase the clothes (using the clothing mod) and can see them with the little wardrobe icon on them when they've already been bought, they don't appear in the choice available with the tool, nor do they appear in the wardrobe.  This applies to Maxis clothing, which seems to be behaving like custom clothing did before.

[Motoki]

I know the clothing tool since NL has had that problem when you are trying to make sims (who aren't residents) selectable via the mind control mirror, testingcheats, insimenator etc use the clothing tool. It's nothing to do with this mod. It just changes one small flag value unhides clothes and that's it. I don't even really consider it a hack because it contains no code. If the clothing tool is having issues, it would have them with or without this mod. It's working fine for me for sims who are the actual residents on their lot. I haven't tried using the clothing tool on a community lot so I have no idea about that. I do know the clothing tool no longer works on making townies or other non-resident sims selectable, that's been a known issue since NL. The work around I use for that is to move them in as a full resident (as opposed to just being selectable) via Inge's bush, use the clothing tool, then use the bush again to move them back out to the townie household.
