Re: [OPEN] [V] [W] [GTW] Going to work as occult randomizes work outfit

So, it seems there is a bit of a workaround that doesn't involve using items from other packs, but does include a cheat. Before, when going into cas to edit work outfits using sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas, it would edit the career outfit, but show all the other outfits. It would be fine for humans and occults with one form. Occults with two forms were screwed as switching to their second form would change the career outfit to their everyday, making any changes in their second form to their everyday outfit instead of the career outfit. Well now, after some update (between Lovestruck and Life and Death), when using the cheat to edit career outfits, it only shows career outfits. This means you can now freely go into their second form and change their outfit without worry of changing their everyday wear.

Due to this, you can manually choose the work outfit on both the human form and second forms for occults. I know this bug is triggered when the occult sim changes into their second form. I gave it a try. I applied a career unlocked outfit (one not automatically applied to the second form upon selection) to both forms and confirmed the changes. He was still in his career outfit and it saved. I had him transform into his werewolf form and the career outfit stuck. I shifted him back and he was still in the career unlocked outfit I selected for him. I went back into cas (using the cheat) and it stuck. So, it seems that as long as the outfit is applied to both forms (which you can now do thanks to some recent update), your occults with second forms won't radomize their work outfits every time they change forms. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for career unlocked outfits that are hidden (like the fisherman outfit and the soccer cleats for the athletics career). But, for most jobs, this little workaround works (at least for me). That is, if you don't mind using the cheat to modify it.

Cheat: sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas

Edit: Here are screenshots to show what I'm talking about.

The outfit itself, which is a career unlockable and will not automatically apply to the second form.

My sim with this outfit applied in his human form.

My sim with this outfit applied in his second form.

My sim in his career outfit (human form) in live mode.

My sim in career outfit after transforming into second form in live mode.

At this point, the outfit would have been randomized the moment he changed into his beast form (well randomized in human form upon transforming back and disappearing in beast form). Since it's been applied to both forms, it sticks despite the numerous transformations.
