When I create a sim, I go through the painstaking task of creating 5 different outfits for all of the categories but I've found that I almost never ever change them. For "Everyday" I always create 2 summery type outfits like shorts and a t-shirt or a skirt and tank, then I always create some "cooler" weather transitional outfit like shorts or capris with a hoody and then I create 2 winterish outfits. So my 5 outfits are season appropriate for when the seasons change, that's usually when I actually "change outfits" deliberately so it looks like my sim is dressed for the season that is currently in the game.I mean, of course they change into cold weather/hot weather, swimsuit, and sports wear on their own when appropriate, but I hardly ever go to the dresser or closet and actually change clothes.How often do you guys change your sims clothes?

I usually change my Sims' clothes with season changes. I'll usually set 1-3 everyday outfits every season just for some variety.

Usually only when they age up, but sometimes I'll give them a second outfit in one of the categories if I want them to dress a certain way for a holiday or something, like I might give them a Christmas sweater as a second cold weather outfit so I can take cute family pictures on Winterfest.

During their important moment,Teen, Young Adult University Student, YA Post Graduation, Late YA to Early Adult (Somewhat Formal-ish clothes), Adult to Late Adult (T-shirt and Short), Elder (Modest Clothing)I have 5 for each outfit category and I changed only all of everyday outfits.

Really rarely, mostly the just when they literally outgrow the clothes, and sometimes once they hit elder. I play families so I can’t be bothered to give a sim any more than two everyday outfits.

When they age up usually. I can’t be bothered picking out five outfits but sometimes they get multiple outfits if I have more than one in mind for a particular sim.

when they age up or there is important change in their life

like they get married or go to uni or they turn occult or be widowed or whatever

also sometimes i just feel like what i dressed them in is ugly or does not fit character so i change it

or maybe my sims jump time period to another when their fashion changes according to era

I don't tend to create lots of extra outfits at the start though they just increase while i play

Ohhhh see I forgot about aging up, I always play with aging off so I can enjoy whoever I'm playing with. That makes sense. My girl even went on a blind date to a restaurant in her bathing suit, she was at the pool and came home and I used that Simda app, I thought I would have time to change her clothes, but no, the minute you pick blind date it automatically pops you both at the location.

The majority of my Sims get one outfit in each category. I usually only change their outfits when they age up, or in the case of Rags to Riches Sims, once they're not living the 'Rags' part anymore. If I end up playing a save for quite awhile and get sick of seeing the same outfits, then I'll change them. That doesn't happen very often though since most of my saves aren't very long-term gameplay.

The most time I spent changing any Sims' clothes is when the hot/cold weather category was introduced in the patch before Seasons. When that happened, I spent a lot of time giving every premade an outfit in each of those categories after I got the pack. I also gave some an updated wardrobe in other categories as well and did a bit of physical modifying to a few. Mostly just hair and make-up though.

Happy Simming! <3

I pick an outfit in each category when they age up. Then I change the everyday outfit with the seasons and pregnancy, and all the other categories stay the same forever. The only Sim who has had all her outfits changed a few times is my vampire matriarch, but that's because she's been around for a very, very long time.

I usually only change my sims clothes for situations. Like if they go on vacation I add appropriate attire for camping. For weddings I put then in tuxes or dresses. And for halloween I add a costume to their party attires. I remove them after since I prefer to keep my sims outfit options to one for each category.

Oh yeah and when they age up a tend to update their clothes to better fit how they are at that stage of their life.
