Is there an easy way to empty a family's dresser?
« on: 2007 April 21, 16:25:42 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

After countless generations my family's dresser is getting pretty clogged with career outfits and the stupid maxis outfits they grew up into.
Is there any way to delete it?  I don't mind if it all goes.
OMGwoolprop? Simpe?  Anything?

The simplest way is to move out and move back in.  However, you're gonna lose gobs of money since everything is depreciated to the max.

They've moved lots several times, and kept everything in their wardrobe.  Even family memebers who move away and into another lot get a full set of copies.

It was in one of the patches once.  It certainly is working for me.
Debug on the dresser tells me I have 412 casual outfits and 50 something formal in additon to fair lots of other crap.

I wish someone would do something about this. It's one of the things that drive me insane.

No one got any suggestions?
Not long after I installed seasons I created a clean neigbourhood, and the only character I brought with me from the old one was a servo who I'd spent too much time with to give up on, and still had some experimenting to do on.  I put her on a small empty lot, severed all her connections to anyone and completely whiped her memories of everyone she'd ever met (or changed them to mystery sims, just to keep the traumas of being beaten and cheated on), performed a frontal and backwards lobotomy on her memories, so that she was basically left with a few bad memories and a lot of skills (she earned those skills damn it!).  Anyway, after a lot of back and forth, and in and out of the game, with dummy neigbourhoods and lots of fiddling with simpe; she still kept every piece of clothing of every family member she ever saw grow up and die.

Could you try the method explained here: http://theos.chewbakkas.net/tutorials/tutorial-ngbh-wardrobe.html

I had already asked Pescado if that could be done with the Lot Debugger, but there is no way to do so.

It's not a simple task, but if that works, I might do something to automate it.  Smiley

Will do that first thing in the morning.  Right now I need some sleep.
Thanks for the tip.

Ah!  Worked like a dream!
Thank you Theo; you are a rock.

Since I only have one playable family it wasn't a problem to delete the whole neigbourhood's wardrobe.  I hope I didn't fiddle with anything I shouldn't have, but so far it seems fine.  Thank you again.

I've been requesting a hack to allow removal of items from the wardrobes for ages but all i ever get is "there's no way to make a hack lie that...it's impossible.  Isn't it logical that if  you can add things to the dressers, there should be some way to remove them too?  the tutorial referenced in the above post just goes to show that it isn't "impossible".  I'ts just that no one has been able to automate it yet.  Please, please, please, someone make a hack to remove colthes from a family's dresser!!!

By "hack", we generally mean "in-game", and no, there is no known method of reversing the operation of adding clothes to dresser in-game. Apparently, Maxis couldn't imagine why anyone would wish to do such a thing. You would have to exit the game and manually doctor files in SimPE.

Typical Eaxian logic. I do a purge of my closets/home at least twice a year. I'm now down to bare bones. Too much crap cluttering up my life. Hard to fly when you're weighted down with a lot of unneeded baggage.

I'm probably one of the morons that actually likes this feature.  It saves time from using the clothing tool...uh oh!  *ducks from flying rocks!*

Hmm. If you eyedropper a loaded dresser, inventory it, and then give it somehow to a non-family Sim, do they get your clothes once they remove the thing from their inventory? Or is it non-giftable? I haven't messed around much with gifting.

I'd assume that anything that can be put in your inventory could be gifted. I always forget about being able to give gifts so I haven't tried it.

Outfits are not tied to dressers. The dresser object merely enables the outfit to be worn.

What about an outside-the-game clothes nuking utility, has anybody thought about that?  jfade, any way to include that in your Wardrobe Wrangler?

It's nice to a certain degree, but 500+ outfits is too much for me; especially when more than half of those are maxis outfits I don't use.
