Is Something Borked? No "Change Appearance" Option on Mirrors

<< < (3/4) > >>

Marhis:
Sims mauled by the bear in the Catacombs can't change appearance, too. I suspect it's also true for electrocuted sims. I think it's the game way to force you to have a bath.

Toddlers can use any mirror, actually. Just changed appearance on a toddler last night. Household only has the cheapest wall mirror.


I wonder if I couldn't because my wall mirror is over a dresser, and the toddler can't crawl close enough. The option, indeed, appears (i.e. the menu is not grayed) but when the toddler approaches that mirror the action drops.
I have no toddlers at hand, in this moment, to test this hypothesis, so if anyone else wants, please do.

BattyCoda:
I believe toddlers also work with dressers. I was surprised...

Mine's directly over the dresser. Is the kid absent-minded?

No; that's weird. I will try other options next time I spawn some toddlers.

Are your Sims wearing their "Work" clothes?
My Sims can't plan clothing while they wear them (why not I don't get).
Try clicking on them and dress them in something else and see if that fixes the problem.

Sims also can't change appearance when wearing their work clothes. As soon as you change then to anything else (formal, casual, PJs, no matter) the options reappear on the mirror and dresser....


Wow, you guys are good.  That was the problem.  Both of the sims I'm playing have only one outfit besides their work uniforms, so I would just leave them in their work clothes.  They've been wearing the same outfit for weeks....Good thing they can't tell or I'd have some very pinched looking sims.
Thanks a lot for the help.
