I wonder why some sims don't change their clothes.

As described I wonder why a few sims don't change their clothes, until I ask them to. They simply keep their clothes on for sleeping, swimming, bathing, sports etc. and are only able to change them, when I make them do it. The code: resetsim (name) doesn't work.

    Is it the current outfit itself that maybe bugged? Just taking a shot in the dark here.


    Nice of you to reply but no, it is one of the game's own outfits. I have tried several times to change all her clothes but it doesn't help. If I make her change to sleep wear, she will wear it for everything, until I make her change to something else. She even goes to work as a scientist without changing her clothes.


    Maybe it is the fact she was a game co-worker NPC then - as it is always been chancey in Sims to add co-workers created solely by the game to sims families. Their pre-programming is generally just pertaining to their job. I recall in earlier series - like Sims 2 where we had easy acces to sims programming through Simpe and many of those sims did not even have full sim programming. Not changing made sense as they were always supposed to be in work clothing. That sim may have some programming missing or turned off by the game and something we as players could not fix without a simpe type programming. Do not know if there is one out there for Sims 4 so you can check if all her programming is in synch and working - or there at all. I had to seriously redo many sims files especially ghosts that were dead when the game came out - like all the Capps - and the ones at Olive Spectres cemetery before they played right.

    Again though I have no idea how you could fix your sim - but now it really does make sense since I realized she was game placed and programmed. Co-worker NPCs are a breed all their own unlike most other NPCs.
  • My Sims change their clothes consistently as intended, but what bothers me is when a Sim gets new work clothes and come home in some wildly inappropriate attire. For instance, one of my Sims is in the Business career and after he was promoted, he came home wearing sweats and an Astronaut helmet. o.O

    I tried to use the CAS career cheat (sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas) to change his outfit, but when CAS opened he was wearing the correct new career clothes, a snazzy suit. I went back to live mode thinking, cool it's fixed. But, unfortunately he is still wearing the sweats & helmet. It's almost as if the incorrect outfit the game gave him is totally hidden for some reason and can't be changed. :/

    Just to clarify, I play a totally vanilla game, so it's not a mod or CC glitch.
  • Thanks for your reply @Writin_Reg, but I was talking about the base game Business career. I don't have CL loaded on my laptop. Do you think I should still report this to Sims Guru Nick?
