Vampire Outfits
Orikes:
I recently had an urge to change the look of my downtown's vampires. They're all still unplayable, but I occasionally summon them and make them selectable for story purposes. I would like to keep them as NPCs, but I want to give them a make over. I've attempted this a couple of times and I just can't seem to figure out how to do it. So, I turn to you wise folks. What's the best way to do this? I can change their apperance (hair, make-up), but not their clothes. Any time I try and get them a new wardrobe, it just doesn't show up for them on a dresser.
Is there a mod somewhere that would let me do it? Is there a boolprop command that lets me do it? Do I have to move them in and make them playable to make it work? If I do that, do I need to do anything special to make them NPCs again? Is the best option to have an OFB shop and suggest an outfit to them once they're on the lot?
J. M. Pescado:
OFB shop would do it. However, the caveat: While they will briefly wear the outfit you give them, they quickly revert to their Official Uniform the next time they make an official appearance. Some patch may have claimed to change this, the wording was vague. It has not been confirmed to work. You're welcome to get back to me with the results.
Orikes:
Is there a way to tell what patches we have on a game? I think I put the Pets patch in, but I'm not sure. I also am not sure if I ever downloaded a seasons patch. I should probably verify what I have before reporting anything.
When it comes time, though, I'll definitely try the OFB shop method. I know someone who did do the change clothes thing, but when I tracked her down to find out how she did it, she said she used Christianlov's teleporter and clothes object. She has a mac, though, so I'm wondering if that's why they haven't reverted on her. Hmm. AH well. I'll make due with what I can.

You may also want to look into a 'casual NPC' hack... I've heard tell they exist, although I've never gone looking for one. I think the text/readme for Christianlov's clothing rack mentions one.

What about Paladin's NPC Replacer at http://www.simwardrobe.com/? Seems like that might do the trick.
ETA: Here's what it says on the page with that program: "The Sims 2 NPC Replacer allows you to easily alter the default outfits of most NPCs in the game. The changes are made globally so all that existing NPCs and newly created NPCs will be wearing the new default outfits. This program works without the use of a "no NPC revert" hack. NPC replacement packages can be easily swapped in and out of the game. There is also a feature to create and load entire sets of NPC replacement packages."
