Modeling Career added to the game? What do you think?
I wish we had a modeling career, it would compliment the photographer career very well.

If there is a modeling career or aspiration or whim, then what is modeling without the fashion designer? I like the idea of having some really exclusive and expensive clothing that gets your sim a lot of attention. There can be a few designs that look guady or tacky or weird. Some sims might be just popular enough to pull it off. The fashion designer who is just starting out will pick out fabrics and patterns and try to sew something up. Then they can add embellishments and beads or sequins and other things. They might have enbroidery or patches of different things.
Recently I saw a video online of a very normal looking lady who could do a bit of cross stitch that anyone can learn to do. So it isn't hard if you have the time. She did a cross stitch on a jacket and somehow got the attention of a rapper and gave this jacket to him. Then he actually wore it on the cover of an album.
You just never know, some novice people just get started doing things. They don't go to design school or anything, they just make connections and get their work out there.
On the sims, I like the idea that if you have a materialistic sim or a sim that wants lots of friends and connections to have some exclusive and expensive clothing.
It would be something that not just any townie could have. They could also loan the clothing to other sims or resale it. They could also embellish it more or change it up a bit.
Then you could have one sim and if they see another sim wearing the same thing they can get embarrasseed. Then they might think they wore it better and feel confident. Other sims could compliment them or they can rate what they are wearing or make fun of them. They can gossip about them behind their back.
You could also have a pet randomly pee on them or scratch them or tear up their expensive clothing. If they are drinking or eating they could get messy. They could repair the dress or try to hide the stain or rip with an embellishment.
You could even have wardrobe malfunction where a bit of a naughty part is showing, which embarrasses the sim. The whole outfit could start falling apart or melt away into nothingness, like Cinderellas dress after the ball. It could be something magical that only lasts for a while, like a beautiful etherial dress with an aura and halo around it.
Maybe you could even have clothing that has an essence about it, like if a sim wears it, they suddenly just feel like that are walking in another sims shoes. So as they wear it, they gain skills faster. Sort of like if you had a sim that isn't that athletic and they get these really cool shoes, they suddenly feel like they can do anything.
I know that just because you put on a uniform doesn't make you a gormet cook, a vet, a doctor, a police officer or whatever. People do that though. As soon as they get dressed up, they feel like they can do anything. So in the sims, a big confidence boost or even a boost to skills while wearing certain things, would work out pretty good. It would be like and xp booster, but also there is expense involved.
Having sims strut their stuff, do a little walk down a cat walk, look smug, make a grand entrance, twirl around and all that would be fun.
Some sims might be having a mid life crisis or maybe they are just blossuming into adult hood, so something really cool to wear and show off would be a confidence booster. Elderly sims like to dress up. Kids who are bullied or don't have many friends can get their come upance with the right outfit.
Maybe you could fish something up in a trunk to wear. You could grow certain things which you could use to embellish your clothing. In the sims you could probably imagine some sort of seeds that are really shiny like sequins or a sequin fish. Then you could mine for bits of shiny rocks or something to carve into beads and buttons. Your cat or dog might even drag something away from someone else's house. It might be a bit ripped but if you mend it or wash it, then it is good as new. If you know who it belongs to, you could return it or be mean and keep it. You might get called out for doing that though and lose a relationship with another sim. Then of course you might manage to just steal the clothing or items if you sim is a thief.
If you have the cow plant, you could invite a sim over for a formal party and maybe they manage to get eaten, so the cow plant throws up their clothing for you. Then sometimes it is ok and other times you have to wash it or mend it.
If you have high enough Charisma you can ask another sim to loan you the outfit and then never return it or promise to return it.
Maybe you can set sort of qualities to some clothing like you do lot traits. So sims who wear it feel a certain way and others that look at it feel a certain way. So it can make a sim feel smug while those who see it feel impressed or jealous. Then you could have funny clothing that makes a sim feel playful. Other sims that see them feel they are approachable and funny. There could be romantic clothing, creepy or scary clothing. Then professional clothing. The clothing your sim gets for work could have work traits attached to them, so they are approached or recognised by others more, who are interested in talking to them about their work or the skill they are good at.
