EgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0
So yeah, due to how these forums work with the spoilers, the original guide is somewhat messed up and updating it would result in loss of information. So, after some consideration, I've decided to m...

Hmmm, this seems quite difficult for a frozen save world (like when wordbuilding) because it requires you to have each npc come to your lot. While some jobs don't have multiple outfit variations, and some are easier to summon (Pizza Delivery) others seem more difficult to show up in their career outfit. I tried using sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas before evicting them, but there outfits are seemingly instance and not career outfits (and it also glitched and made the career outfit the winter clothing outfit)
I wish someone would make a mod where you can select the swatch of townie job outfit you want them to have, and still have that set if you remove the mod/play it in vanilla (akin to having the townie having already appeared in that variation of the outfit)
Many (or all) of NPC role outfits can't be edited by using sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas. That cheat code is for career outfit, while NPC outfits are "situation outfit". Also, it's impossible to assign a fixed uniform for a stall vendor. Because they change uniforms related to which kiosk (or store) they attend.
Which NPC do you think is quite hard to summon? I may not use all of NPC for now, so I may miss something. Most of the NPCs in my game are the ones I let the game generate, and I edit their looks and outfits in CAS later.
By the way, after seeing that you made frozen save world... if you want to control the NPC outfit and don't mind using a mod, this mod may be your solution

I don't use this mod myself because it's too powerful for me. I haven't had time to study all of the functions yet. However, it can control the overall outfit by role. So, you may be able to design the pizza delivery uniform and many more for your frozen world.
-Caution- This seems to be the big mod with a complex function that may affect your save. Better to check it carefully or test with a test save before deciding to use.
