I'm being told this is by design and is how TS4 has always worked. It might've worked differently in TS3 or TS2?
HI Sheri, thanks for the reply!
This isn't really an issue of switching outfits, but the help is appreciated! btw, you can add additional outfits by clicking the arrow above the outfit category, like the sun icon for everyday outfits, and you can make up to 5 additional outfits for each one
@boopidoop Nice... I never noticed that. I just tested that for myself and when I made a 2nd everyday outfit, for instance, then I can click on the sim and the outfit (and hair) that I made for #2 everyday is also available to change into. So... you are looking to have the sim automatically be in outfit #2 (even if all that is different is the hair) every other day - and you don't want to have to go in and change/select it yourself?
@boopidoop, yes, from a logical standpoint I would have had the hair genetics attached to the first Everyday outfit's hair color! I thought of that as well, but perhaps I was remembering how it worked for TS3, like you suggested! 🤔
Interesting about the idea to instead have hair color genetics be selected like the walk a Sim has is selected 😎 ... I would have never thought of that ! 😃 (And yes, I miss my Sims having a favorite food too! I loved seeing them clap with joy each time they were about to eat their favorite dish! 🥳 )
Wow! 🤨 I'm impressed that you can make your own Mods! ❤️ I love science, but I'm not very tech savvy. I took a class in school a long time ago, but things were a lot different back then! 😃 In college the only classes for computers were for people who were majoring or minoring in them, plus my older brother had that as his major at first and ended up hating it, so that turned me off of even trying it!
As for Mods, I'm too lazy to keep up with them all (although I did use them in TS2 and TS3 until I had a huge problem with them and stopped using them.)
Since you are more than proficient in technical matters, please come back often and help others out! (I dont' know how much help you have already given, but I see that your are a Novice so your probably haven't' been here that long, or else you haven't posted that much?) 😉
Happy Simming! 🥳
Edited for correcting incomprehensible grammar due to my being distracted by my unruly Pug! 😳🐶😃
@PugLove888 That cracks me up... I have unruly Chihuahuas and a Yorkie that will surely stop my heart one day with a shrill barking outburst right next to me. Yes, when I was in college (the first time), you would have needed a room for a computer. Personal computer? Nope. Went back to school less than 10 years ago to take one class to 'work on a website' for my home business. Two degrees later I ran out of Pell Grant money, so I stopped with both a 'Web Design and Development' and a 'Digital Graphics' degree(s).
BUT... watching me take my classes did nothing to peak the interest of my kids, either. Their eyes still glaze over if I try to explain the simplest code. Crazy. Weirdest part, which @boopidoop can possibly relate to -- because my laptop was continually crashing from photo-editing work (REALLY crashing... and I would have to take it back to a factory restore/reset more often than I like to remember), I got very accustomed to operating on the computer to fix it - software-wise and physically. So they were just sure I could fix computer software coding and things that are not in my 'branch' of coding. C# and similar programming languages and job applications are an entirely different branch from Web Design & Development (though there are overlaps, and those codes would be way more comprehensible to someone who knows at least some coding). Anyway... I've never considered dealing with mods or learning other code languages on my own. My focus is html, css, php and some javascript. Almost all of the code work I do now is involved in working within the framework of Wordpress websites.
@PugLove888 I think what your brother experienced was very common. People find that as they get into the meat of it, coding does take a lot of work to learn, and it can exceedingly tedious (and really tough on the eyes). My son ran into the same thing in ASL (Sign Language). Many people like the thought of it, and to dabble in it, but to go to school for it and get certified is really a tough field. Many careers are like that... but if you push through it's worth it. IF it's what you love. If not, you don't want to be stuck staring at code, teaching, nursing, or any number of things for your career if you don't have a passion for it.
Code is power, and it's a dance. Problem is that sometimes just the smallest little error can do an amazing amount of damage and throw a monkey wrench in the whole thing. Sooo... since this is not my type of coding, I try to not mess with it (well, not much). 😉
@boopidoop Oh... so am I understanding correctly that the issue is not that you cannot change the hair style per outfit but the hair color? Sorry, I did not catch that when I had replied. I was referring to being able to change the hair style in my test. Guess I needn't experiment with changing the color per outfit then...
@SheriGR I love code too! I'm currently studying Games Computing, and we're mostly doing C++ on the course, which is pretty much my favourite language to code in! I would talk about it forever, but I'm very ill at the moment :c
@PugLove888 Haha, there's plenty of sims 2 and 3 features that I wish were back too! like being able to go to different lots without loading screens, drivable cars, glitches that actually made sense rather than this new teleporting bug everyone's getting... 😛
I dont have much time at the mo to work on any mods or help out on the forums, but come christmas time I'll see what I can do! Btw I'm only a novice because I've never posted, but I've had an account for 3 years 😛
