In “The Sims 4,” tweaking your Sim’s work look is part of the fun, though the game itself doesn’t make it super obvious how to do it. Enter the world of cheat codes, and suddenly you’ve got the power to dress your Sim however you like for their job. Here’s how you pull off this fashion feat.
How to Change Your Work Outfit in The Sims 4
Preliminary Steps: Enabling Cheats
Before you get to play dress-up, you’ve got to unlock cheats. “The Sims 4” becomes a whole new playground with cheats turned on. Here’s how to get started:
- PC players, hit Ctrl + Shift + C.
- Mac users, it’s Cmd + Shift + C for you.
- On PlayStation, it’s R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 all at the same time.
- Xbox folks, press RB + RT + LB + LT together.
Once you’ve hit the right buttons, type “testingCheats true” into the box that pops up. This command is your golden key to cheat mode.
Changing Work Outfit: The Cheat Command
With cheats active, changing your Sim’s job gear is easy. The magic command is “sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas”. It might sound like gibberish, but it’s actually your ticket to the Create-A-Sim (CAS) mode, where all the wardrobe action happens. This is your chance to let your Sim’s workwear dreams come true, from snazzy shoes to the perfect hat.
Considerations and Limitations
Dressing up your Sim for work is all in good fun, but remember, it’s just for looks. Their job, how well they do it, and their workplace dynamics stay the same, no matter what they’re wearing. And, not every outfit in the game is up for grabs in CAS mode. Some are locked down because they’re tied to specific jobs or scenarios. Plus, once you change an outfit, there’s no going back, so think it through before you commit.
Additional Information for Console Players
Console gamers, you’re in on this, too. The process to enable cheats is the same, just with your controller’s buttons. After that, “testingCheats [on]” is what you type in, followed by “sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas” to dive into CAS mode and start the makeover. The customization options are vast, letting you style your Sim’s work attire just how you like it.
