Important Considerations

• Active Sim: This cheat only works on the active Sim. Ensure you’re controlling the Sim whose career outfit you want to change before entering the cheat.
• Multiple Careers: If your Sim has multiple careers, the cheat will only affect the career they are currently active in.
• Game Updates: Keep in mind that game updates can sometimes affect cheats. If the cheat doesn’t work, double-check that you’ve enabled testing cheats and that you’ve typed the cheat correctly.

Beyond the Basics: Creative Career Outfits

While the cheat primarily focuses on clothing, don’t limit your creativity. Experiment with different hairstyles, makeup looks, and accessories to truly personalize your Sim’s professional identity. Consider the story you want to tell with their outfit. Is your doctor Sim a bit of a rebel with a funky hairstyle, or is your politician Sim all about power dressing? The possibilities are endless!

Consider the important role that games play in learning and engagement, as highlighted by the Games Learning Society when designing your career outfits to reflect your Sim’s personality.
