I noticed that I got a lot of repeats of the first outfit, then the second outfit, then a few more. Maybe it has some kind of a list it's going by, perhaps sequencially. It has to be using some method, other than random, because in the tests I did (I did a lot!) the same sim got the same outfit no matter how many times I exited & reentered the lot & got her pregnant. I'm just really curious as to what it is using.

I wouldn't think the game would be considering things like facial features or alternative clothing when it decides on which outfit to assign. There aren't that many consistent details that every sim has - they have hair color, eye color, aspiration & zodiac - that's all I can think of. Ok - as I said I didn't track hair/eye color, I was just speculating on what it could be. Unfortunately, I didn't record which hair/eye colors I tested - I only though about this afterwards.Īnyway - if anyone has any ideas I'd sure like to hear about them There really aren't that many core characteristics - hair, eyes, aspiration, zodiac, name - unless it is totally random, but my testing indicates that it isn't just random. The only other things I can think of are the zodiac sign or aspiration, but neither of these come out to 9. This gives 9 different combinations (custom hair & eyes still have a proxy so they would count as one of these colors). Black/Brown hair with either brown, blue or green eyes, Blond hair with brown, green or blue & Red hair with brown, green or blue. There are 9 different outfits, so I thought that perhaps it is using hair & eye color combinations. My theory is that the game is taking some known characteristics & using them to decide which outfit they get, because they always get the same outfit once it's assigned, so that information has to be coming from somewhere. I also looked through the female sims character files to see if it's stored somewhere, but they are all assigned the navy/rust outfit, so that must be a placeholder - it obviously gets replaced with a different outfit. I got a variety of outfits, but they always got the same one each time. Then I made more sims & more lots & repeated the process. So that part is not random - the game is assigning them specific maternity outfits.

I replayed this lot 3 or 4 times & the sims always got the same outfits, every time. I tested lots of females - basically I started a new lot, made some random female sims & used the Tombstone of L&D to get them pregnant & speed it up so I could see which outfit they got. It doesn't look like the Maternity template has anything that would dictate which outfit gets picked. The Maternity Template stores all 9 of the outfits. I am fairly certain it is in the Pregnancy Controller, because there is a BHAV in there that calls the Maternity Template by GUID. I have looked, but I can't figure it out - I am not that good with the BHAVs, etc. However, this got me to thinking.ĭoes anyone know or would anyone care to have a look in the Pregnancy Contoller for what it is that decides which outfit a pregnant sims gets.

I have recently made some default replacements for the maternity clothing Morague's Unlocked Outfits & they work great in the game.
