The Dresscode Mod

[crown_of_antlers]

Sick of seeing my sims wander around in their athletic outfits instead of their carefully chosen everyday outfits, I did another search to see if any modders addressed this and found this mod: Dresscode.

I tried it out in my Moonlight Falls game, placing one of the dresscode signs on every community lot, then activated the sign in live mod and selected the attire that I want my sims to wear on that lot. Then I just let the day progress.

After a while I panned the camera around and the only place the sims were wearing their athletic outfits was at the gym. Everywhere else they were in their everyday attire except for the bistro which is set to formal.

Granted I had hoped to find a mod that would make the sims change back to everyday outfits right after exercising and it can feel a little tedious to place a dresscode sign on every lot, but it does work. I hope to get into my Elder Scrolls themed world this afternoon and will start placing the signs in there as well.

So, this is one way to keep characters in medieval or Victorian themed worlds from spoiling everything by walking around in t-shirts and shorts or sweatpants.

I set the running machine and the weight set to non autonomous use in Retuner, and that seems have stopped the athletic wearing for the most part in my game. It also keeps the game from turning my thin characters into bulked out, like it did with Neloth when he was inactive.

Dresscode seems like a good option, too, to keep better control of places and dress. I think there is one trait where the characters show up in any random choice of athletic, formal, everyday, outerwear, though.

Good point. I don't think I've ever had that happen, but that's not something that's desirable when a character is supposed to have a certain type of build.

I didn't mind it so much when it was Saje, because that how he is in game. He gets stronger and more athletic by simply running around and swinging his sword. But I made sure to cheat in lifetime reward points to give Vemyn and Gilvoth the metabolism reward so they stay bony.

Yeah, that annoyed me with Neloth. He had the lifeteam goal of learning all witch spells, and he achieved it. But the game switched it to attaining crime boss. It changed Gilvoth's lifetime goal of creating monsters into gold digger ????? That's more like Odros and Curio.

Yes, the game was getting the grouches and perverts mixed up. And I've done the same thing with the metabolism reward after seeing Gilvoth and Vemyn pumping iron at the gym. Those two are not supposed to have toned, conditioned muscles.

I just got so fed up with the athletic clothes when I was in Moonlight Falls and Gloria was in the process of taking her mid-term exams. There she was, walking between the university buildings, dressed semi-Victorian with a long flowing skirt and matching fitted jacket when a few more young adult females showed up wearing extremely short shorts and tank tops. It ruined the whole look of the world and I was sick of having to use Master Controller to switch the inactives back into more appropriate clothes.

That can be so frustrating. And always having to use the MC. Those signs must be the perfect solution for places like the University. The ever present short skirts and shorts make it worse. We can never get away from it.

So far it's working well. As soon as inactives enter the lot they are forced to wear their everyday outfits, and I've gotten around to adjusting the everyday attire for almost all of the townies.

The ever present short skirts and shorts make it worse.

I swear this game always defaults to the most revealing outfits when randomly dressing the inactives. It goes right to shortest skirts and makes the females look like streetwalkers.
