One of the most popular aspects of playing The Sims 4, is the ability to roleplay a new life from early years to adulthood. Part of this is getting a job and rising through the ranks to CEO status, earning as you go to afford the highest luxury items in The Sims 4.

The issue is, that some of the work outfits in The Sims 4 are less than desirable and are automatically applied by the game. If you want to customize your work outfits and change the way they look, it is possible to do so with cheats. Read here for the cheat you need to change Sim's work outfits.

Now, to use the career outfit cheat, you'll need to first locate your sim's ID number, this is unique to each sim. To find the ID, enter the following into the cheat box:

sims.get_sim_id_by_name (full name of your sim)

Take note of the number that is issued and use it in the work outfit cheat, which is the following:

sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas {SimID}

If done correctly, the game will take you to the create-a-sim menu where you can select the outfit you wish your sim to use when departing and arriving from work.

Simply select the outfit you wish on the everyday outfit option. Once you click confirm, the change should be noted but will not be registered as an everyday outfit.
