Auto Change to Outfits?

It's been awhile since I've played Sims and been on the forums, but I decided to give TS4 another try.

So... I've searched Google and these forums, and maybe I'm just typing it wrong, or maybe it's not possible. Not sure... so I figured I'd ask here :-)

When you Plan Outfits... let's use "Everyday" for example. You can set multiple everyday outfits. I currently have 3 on one of my Sims. However; I've noticed that when they shower or auto-change into that outfit, they always default to the first one. Is there a way you can have your Sims choose one of your Everyday outfits at random? I know you can simply click your Sim and have them change into whatever you like, but I figured it would be neat to see them randomly choose one and change them frequently throughout the day.

Thanks and glad to be back :-)

*EDIT* Well, this is odd. I post this, go back in to play TS4... and my Sim actually changed into another Everyday outfit after getting out of the shower. First time I've noticed this happen. Appears they already have this in the game. LOL Please ignore my post ;-)

  • I didn't know a sim could have more than one of each type of outfit. Good to know ?

    Check mods. I was having the same issue and I tested without my mods in and the issue cleared up. I narrowed it down to a small handful that I don't care to narrow down anymore. The ones that the issue mod is in is a small number that I'm okay with all of them being out of my game and I don't have the desire to load and reload my game anymore to find the culprit. At any rate, my sims are back to changing every day, so I'm happy. (FYI, my sims would randomly, every great once in a while, change to a different outfit. But it was not common, was pretty rare. I had 5 outfits in each category and they spent at least 98% of their time in the number one outfits in all categories.)
  • My Sims do change their everyday outfits randomly after the shower or when they wake up in the morning etc. At least it used to be that way... I haven't paid enough attention recently if it's changed, I hope it's not a new bug.
    They do prefer the first outfit though, sometimes it may take few days to see them wearing the other choices.
  • Have also noticed the 1st outfit is the usual, but on occasion it differs. Maybe their version of the comfy old reliable that everyone seems to have. Have also noticed some sims are more likely to alternate outfits than others, so maybe there is a trait connection.

    I have a modless Sims 4 with all EP, GP, and SP (Besides My First Pet), and they'll change into whatever. They do really like their 'default' Everyday though, as said above. I have a Sim who is a Stylist, and regardless of weather, he'll change into that outfit to leave for work, even if he's wearing a Hot Weather or Cold Weather outfit. Besides that though, all four in my household (and even other neighbors I've given multiple outfits) will wear different things from time to time. Worst comes to worst, you can do it manually.
