How to Change Clothes in Sims 2?

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

This is probably a stupid question, but when I click on the dresser and say
"plan outfit", I can't choose another outfit. How do I change?

Thanks! So how does this work if I download skins? Do I need to buy the
outfit that I downloaded? Or does buying trigger that?
Yeah I can hit Plan Outfit, so I guess I have enough room. Those dressers
are pretty big though!

You need to buy the outfit.

I got the Plan Outfit option when I didn't have room, but it
disappeared from their queue. It took me ages to figure out the
problem, because they didn't get the wall icon in a thought bubble,
the way they usually do if they're blocked.

The dressers are ridiculously big. At www.modthesims2.com, I got some
one-tile ones that look like counters, and one that looks like the
clothes that they buy at a shop, which you can put on a table.

I think that's also where I got the shop-at-home items, which are
buyable clothing racks, counters, cash register, etc. that you can set
up on a home lot and have Sims buy clothing there. You can then sell
those when you're done or keep a little store on your lot. You have
to use the moveobjects cheat to get rid of the cashier after you sell
the cash register, etc.

I hear ya! I was trying to fix up Nina Caliente's kitchen the other
night, and my choices were the cheesy table with the Formica top or
the one-tile outdoor table. I definitely want more one-tile tables.

As for new objects, I also snagged the Sims 1 style cheap TV from
www.modthesims2.com, though I haven't tried it in the game yet.

Smaller TV useful for sticking at the end of the bed when the blighters have
flue, though. 8(
It was the only way I could get Homer to relax. Typical.
