Okay so I was wondering if there was anyway to make normal outits available to use as costumes for my career...

I want my sim to be a priate singer! XD

Yes, go to the dresser, and click plan outfit. There's a new button for career outfits. You cannot change the default career outfit, but you can add additional outfits. Just make the second outfit a pirate outfit (or whatever you're in the mood for), then, have them select that outfit to change into when they are going to perform, or whatever. Once selected, it will be the default outfit they change into whenever they have a career activity.

Just be aware that not all older Hairs are marked for career, since that wasn't an option when they were created. Especially Store hairs. This can be remedied by using Master Controller and disabling Clothing Filters

It'd be fantastic if we could choose career clothing...or not have it at all. My NPCs never change out of their work clothes. EVER.

No career clothes ever can be accomplished with one of these mods: http://iplaysims.com/forum/files/fi...career-clothes/

You can change an NPC's career clothing, I did that to a lot of my com lots! Master Controller is all you need, "stylist" option. Yes you have to change them one sim at the time but it works. Don't worry, the day after they'll work with the clothes and accessories you chose. I did it for the NPCs workers a Chinese "restaurant", a western bar and a hotdog stand in the park.
