Does the Clothing Tool work for young adults?

(1/3) > >>

valentinegirl:
I have NL installed and wanted to use one of my fave hacks on my townie uni students as some of them are wearing the strangest outfits. So I made the townie students and dormies selectable and got them to pick new clothes with the clothing tool. The first part of the tool worked fine - you could buy a new outfit, but when it came to actually dressing the sims the only option was for a naked body! I chose this for one sim just to try it out and he remained butt naked walking around the dorms as though there was no problem.

I have never played UNI before installing NL so I was wondering - was the clothing tool ever intended to be used on young adults or am I just messing way too much with game code trying to select dormies and townies then instructing them to use it?

J. M. Pescado:
Dormies and townies, as members of the townie family, do not have a wardrobe inventory. Therefore, attempting to make them plan outfits results in failure: When somebody plans, it always uses the wardrobe of HIS family, not the current family.

I think you'd have to move them into the bin, move them into a house or dorm, reclothe them, then turn them back into dormies!  Is it worth all that effort?  However, you can use the plastic surgery thingie on them and make them look a bit more presentable, and you can also change their hair and make-up.  At least you could make the heads match the odd-looking clothes!

Motoki:
Uh, I do this all the time even after NL and it works for me. I make them selectable, kaching my household 1k, use the clothing tool, buy them enough stuff to come out to around 1k, and plan their outfits? I dunno, maybe it's the old only have one outfit bug or something because it definitely works for me.

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I'll maybe try that sometime, but at present I have no townies!  At least, according to SimPE there are 2 or 3, but I've never seen them, so they may be in the main neighbourhood which I haven't played yet, I'm still getting all my new sims through college!  However, what I thought was that the clothes that look ridiculous on the townies was probably because the hairstyle and make-up was wrong, like a goth head on a granny-style dress, or punk clothes with a "nice mommy" hairstyle!
