Style Influencer career

Question

I haven't really used this career yet.  I was wondering though, can someone who knows more about it explain how the trends work?  I was wondering if I could use that to encourage game-generated sims to wear Victorian themed outfits (Get Famous costumes and cc) and cut down on the modern outfits they keep wearing.  I use MCCC and have tried blacklisting modern outfits when I see them and whitelisting the historical outfits worn by my created families, and then running a Dresser Clean regularly, but game-generated sims don't seem to be wearing the whitelisted outfits at all.  The only time I can get the generated sims to wear the outfits I want them to is by manually changing them in Manage world, and that can be dreary work.

You have to blacklist every single swatch with MCCC for it to work... I'm interested in this too, I've yet to figure out how the trending works.

In my experience, I set 5 outfits for both male and female trends. Townies and premades occasionally wore them instead of any outfit (formal, seasonal etc) in public lots, in the very exact swatches that I created. Annoying part was that Sims from my played households were wearing them too when visiting my current household and in public lots. It often happened that 3 or 4 townies were dressed identically, while the rest preferred their good old townie style.

So if I am careful with what I choose as a trend, I might be able to make it work for my setting, up to a point?Yes, at least some of townies would fit in, especially if it's a park or a bar and not a pool or nightclub. Well, for Victorian outfits there's no risk some of them could be too revealing or inappropriate for Elders or some season I assume.

I'm getting pretty fed up with blacklisting things to no result so I may yet try the Style Influencer job.  It would work perfectly for one of my fashionable ladies and I can pretend the money is from a private income.
