    Oh, I see, @WildRose3793, thanks for the clarification. However, it's not possible to change the uniforms for those businesses. Your Sims are investing or buying those businesses, but they are not 'managing' them, so choosing an uniform is not one of the options.

    I understand your desire to personalize the uniforms, but as I was explaining in my previous post, the idea is your Sims to sit and enjoy the benefits 😉

Hi @WildRose3793,

Thanks, but I'm still unsure of what business you mean in The Sims 3. ☹️

In The Sims 2 you could buy a business if you owned The Sims 2 Open for business expansion pack. In The Sims 3, you can buy different businesses in the world, but not set a uniform for your employees. Also, you can buy different kind of businesses if you own certain packs on the Store, like for example this one to create a restaurant: http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:67573 In this case, for example, the chef has its uniform which you can't modify.

Could you let me know which kind of business your Sim bought? 🙂

Well I'm playing on a PS3 so due to that I can only buy out businesses in that set.  The hospital, the grocery store, the diners, etc.  In Sims 2 I bought The Special DVD Edition and then bought NightClub, Pets, and Open for business expansions, but where the current game I have is on PS3 there are no expansions only Sims 3 Pets individual games.  I was hoping though that in Sims 3 when you bought out a business you could be able to set the uniform like in Sims 2.
