Copy Outfits

Copy Outfits allows to copy outfits and more. It is basically the same as Outfit Tools - Copy Any Outfit v4 by scumbumbo while the code has been written from scratch and menu interactions have been added to replace the cheat console input. With the current update the sims appearance can be cloned completely.

It allows to copy outfits from one sim to the other and also to and from special categories. Outfits for Toddlers are only available for Toddlers, the same applies to Children. Outfits for Teen, Young Adult, Adult and Elder are shared for these age groups.

Copy Outfits is a 'hidden' debug menu as it is meant to fix issues or to prepare sims but not for normal game play. Enable cheats with testingcheats true to activate it and Shift-click on sims to use it.

Menu 'Copy Outfits'

• The most simple option is to use 'Copy' to copy the current outfit to the internal clipboard #0 and 'Paste' to paste from #0 to the current outfit.
  • Appearance modifiers are not taken into account. If the sim wears no shoes due to an appearance modifier (Snowy Escape DLC) the shoes will still be copied - and of course vice versa. If the sim wears boots due to an appearance modifier the boots will not be copied.
• The 'Copy/Paste ...' > '(X-)Picker ...' menus allow to select a specific outfit. It will be copied to/from clipboard 0. See Menu Special-Picker for details.
• 'Transfer ...' allows to copy other things from clipboard 0 to the current outfit. See Menu Transfer for details.

The other menu options may be used rarely:

• The 'Copy/Paste ...' > '(X-)Category ...' menus allow to copy/paste all outfits, up to five.
• 'Copy to ...' allows to copy the current outfit to one of the other clipboards [1..4].
• 'Paste from ...' allows to paste the outfit from another clipboards [1..4] to the current outfit.
• 'Paste to ...' allows to paste the outfit from clipboard 0 to the current outfit category but to a specific index [0..4].

Menu Special-Picker (X-Picker)

It allows to select individual special outfits. These include:

• Bathing[0] (Nude)
• Situation[0]
• Special[0..1] (0=Special 1=Nude with Towel)
• Career[0]
• Batuu[0..4]

Menu Transfer

• 'Sim' includes everything (no sliders) which defines a sim. These are the head, teeth, hair, eye colors, and many skin details.
• 'Cloth' pastes the hat, full body or upper and lower outfit, shoes, cummerbund, gloves, socks, tights. The 'Paste' commands from above pastes these items.
• 'Body Paint' pastes all body paint. This includes tattoos, skin overlays, acne and nails.
• 'Hand Accessories' pastes bracelets and rings and other accessories attached to writs or fingers.
• 'Head Accessories' pastes ear rings, glasses and the necklace.
• 'Head Paint' includes lipstick, eyebrows, shadow and liner, blush, mascara and face paint.
• 'Head Piercings' includes brow, lip and nose piercings.
• 'occult_scars' includes all occult scars and also the non-occult forearm scar.
• 'Pet' includes the fur body, ears and tail (not tested).
• 'Complete Outfit' (previously All) pastes everything (see above) to the selected sim. Sliders are not transferred but the sims will look very similar.

Menu X-Transfer

This is the sub menu which does not really has something to do with 'Copy Outfits'.

• 'Age & Gender' includes age, gender, '¿extended_species?', walk styles, body frame, clothing preferences and whether the sim can give/receive pregnancy. Existing pregnancies will neither be canceled or transferred.
• 'Genetics' is only '¿genetics?', whatever it is.
• 'Physics & Genetics' includes '?genetics?', physic, sliders, voice, skin and if available also pelt and/or '¿base_traits?', whatever this is.
• 'Traits' includes all traits.
• 'All' includes 'Complete Outfit' and everything from above.
• 'Sliders' - not implemented as a standalone interaction, use 'All' or 'Physics & Genetics'
• 'Walkstyles' - not implemented as a standalone interaction, use 'All' or 'Age & Gender'
• 'Relationships' - not implemented
• 'Only Face Sliders' - not implemented
• 'Only Body Sliders' - not implemented
• 'Skintones' - not implemented

Menu More

• 'Print Clipboard' prints the copied outfits including the source sim. Outfit IDs are logged to the log file where you can copy them and will not flood the notification area.
• 'Clear All' removes all outfits from the cache.
• 'Clear ...' allows to remove a specific outfit from the cache.

Random sims

Do not copy outfits from cats to dogs and vice versa. Technically it works but it looks odd.
