How to set no outfit in a strip club

[Uberfurher]

Basically I took some sims from the gallery that already wear some sexy clothes and I hired them as dancers. I was wondering if it was possible to set that the strip club has no uniform so that they come in their clothing to work, instead of me designing ones or randomly generated ones. There's more then 5 of them and so I can't recreate their clothes and assign it to them, since work outfit category has a 5 outfits limit.

You can't set "no uniform", but since each Sim has an individual, hidden career outfit, you can also forget about the limit of 5 outfits per club and instead just edit the Sim career outfit directly. Additionally, since you want to "keep" an outfit these Sims already have, you don't even need to do any editing yourself, thanks to a wonderful mod by the great Scumbumbo called "Outfit Tools" (get it here: https://scumbumbomods.com/outfit-tools-copy-any-outfit).

 

This mod will add a couple of console commands to the game that allow you to quickly copy outfits between both different outfit categories and also different Sims. Usage is explained on the download page as well, but the brief version is this:

 - Bring up the command console with Ctrl+Shift+C

 - Enter outfit.checkids to first make sure that there are no lingering problems with existing outfits

 - Enter outfit.fixids to fix any and all issues that were found in the previous step

 - To copy a Sim's outfit into the career outfit slot, select that Sim (must already have a job) and then enter outfit.copy <source> <slot> ca 1

 

In the above command, <source> is the outfit category you want to copy from (e.g. e for the Everyday category) and <slot> is the outfit slot number in CAS (the outfit specified by this must exist already, so double-check slot numbers). As an example, to copy the third sleepwear outfit to the career outfit (which only has one slot) you would enter outfit.copy sl 3 ca 1.

 

With this, you can easily have an individual outfit for each of your strip club employees and also have them look the same way outside of working hours (e.g. as their hoe outfit, for dancers that are also registered as prostitutes in Wicked Pervs).

Oops19 has a menu based alternative mentioned by Crashdown in his excellent post.

I like it coz it means less keyboard interaction.

Nice to see a menu-based alternative, wished for something like this myself when I started using Scumbumbo's Outfit Tools.

Personally, I still prefer the "old" mod because it has no dependencies and offers commands to backup Sim outfits into a file and restore them again. Very handy for when the game decides to introduce something like that Sims Session outfit vendor that forced your Sims to immediately wear their new purchases, messing up their actual outfits instead of creating a situational one like festivals do.
