While it can be enjoyable to have the ability to dress up your sims with a wide range of outfits, it may not be the most practical choice if you prefer a more realistic gameplay experience.
Many individuals have clothing items or complete outfits that they wear for various occasions.
For instance, you likely have everyday outfits that work well for both hot and cold weather.
If you have a preference for how your sims dress or want a convenient way to duplicate outfits without spending too much time in CAS, the Copy Outfit Cheat can be a helpful tool for you!
Do You Copy?
Now this cheat can be a little tricky, but before you even try it you want to be sure to have TestingCheats enabled.
Once you do that, you’re ready to give the Copy Outfit Cheat a go.
This cheat gives you a lot of control over what outfits you copy and where, though it can be a bit confusing due to all the different numbers used.
We’re going to break it down step by step so you can become an outfit copying pro in no time!
Cheat To Copy Outfit
outfits.copy_outfit [X] [Y] [Z]
Here’s a breakdown of the Copy Outfit Cheat:
[X], [Y], and [Z] are all important pieces of data that you’ll need to be familiar with in order to successfully activate the cheat.
[X] Please specify the outfit category where you would like the outfit to be copied to. This is where the outfit will be sent.
[Y] is the section where you can find the outfit you want to replicate. It’s the location you’re replicating the outfit from.
[Z] is the category slot you’re copying from. This variable allows you to instruct the game to select an outfit from a particular slot in your sim’s wardrobe.
Outfit Category for [X] and [Y]
Each outfit category is assigned a unique number:
Outfit Category | Category Number |
Everyday | 1 |
Formal | 2 |
Athletic | 3 |
Sleepwear | 4 |
Party | 5 |
Bathing/Nude | 6 |
Career | 7 |
Situation | 8 |
Swimwear | 9 |
Hot Weather | 10 |
Cold Weather | 11 |
Slots For Category [Z]
This is the part where things can be a bit tricky. Sim outfits in a single category are conveniently numbered from 1 to 5.
When you input these numbers into the [Z] section of the cheat, the game will display the slots from 0-4.
When selecting the digit for the outfit slot you’re duplicating, simply subtract 1 from the corresponding slot number.
In contrast to the numbers for categories [X] and [Y], this particular section of the cheat is completely optional. If you decide not to input anything for [Z], the game will automatically select the outfit from the first slot of the category for you.
Putting It All Together
Now that you have all the necessary background information, let’s create a few examples to help reinforce your understanding.
- To transfer the outfit from the second slot of the Everyday category to the Cold Weather category, simply use this cheat code:
outfits.copy_outfit 11 0 1
