I have been doing some work on getting everybody's outfits looking ok. MC Dresser now has some more options for replacing situational outfits with the regular ones which is really nice for getting rid of the random-looking city living festival outfits. You can tell your sim is wearing a situation outfit by clicking on them > MC > MC dresser > and it should say something like Outfit: situation(0) at the top of that menu

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a retail lot that has a couple different styles of mannequins set up in each building. It looks great from other lots but it is a little difficult to find the sims sometimes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got dine out but I haven't done anything except placing the starter lot. You will see a lot of people going on dates here, it is interesting to see who the game pairs up

 

 

 

 

Dancing at the lounge. A lot of elders show up here which I guess is good if you are looking for a new sugar momma/daddy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another restaraunt, country kitchen. No country kitchen cows here today, they are off getting some sun somewhere

 

 

 

 

 

I have been figuring out how to get the best from Outdoor Retreat for a while, and I think I have found what I enjoy the most. Mini music festivals

 

 

 

 

 

I'm cheatin a little bit here, there is a speaker in front of the stage. The sims kept running up on stage to stand next to the DJ table, and when I blocked that off they started crowding around the bar

 

 

 

 

There is a mod on MTS to disable the DJ outfits so sims wear their regular outfits, highly recommend

My first plan for doing large outfit changes for all my sims was to get them to come into a store that sells only one category of outfit. I ended up doing a sexy pajama shop. This didn't end up working so well. The sims keep the outfits they buy, but the outfit is added to a new slot instead of replacing their current slots so there is a chance you wont see them wearing it on your next encounter. Eventually I found the best way to distribute outfits was to load up 1 sim with a ton of outfits, and start pasting them to other sims using this http://modthesims.info/d/541770/outfit-tools-copy-any-outfit-v4.html

This is faster than the MC dresser copy/paste - as long as your remember you can hit up on the arrow keys to bring up your last cheat command

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a pool lot with a bunch of apartments. My sims live here a few days at a time and people keep coming by to swim at all hours of the day. Having sims walking/swimming around the lot makes the apartments feel a little more alive
