The Emperor's New Clothes

There's an old short story written for children by Hans Christian Anderson entitled The Emperor's New Clothes.  The story tells of two weavers who promise the Emperor a suit of new clothes that is invisible to the lower classes and stupid people, or so the Emperor is told.  However, when the Emperor parades himself in front of his people with his new 'clothes', a child shouts out "but he isn't wearing anything at all!"

You may wonder what this has to do with Sims stuff; well, since I installed Showtime, the career outfits don't seem to work.

My Sims get out of the shower and change into their Emperor's new clothes outfit - check this out:



The Sim doesn't seem to have a care in the world - they believe they are wearing clothes but then so does everyone else and so does the game because there are no sensors.  There is a way around this however.....

If you experience this problem, take your Sim to a dresser and 'plan outfit'.  This will take you to CAS where you can create a second career outfit that your Sim will wear instead.  The small problem with this is that when your Sim is promoted, they will carry on wearing the second outfit that you created for them so you will need to go back into CAS via the dresser to change it again.  I have found that once the Sim reaches the top of their careers, the first outfit (which originally didn't show) will work and won't show your Sim as being nude.

I'm sure this must be a Showtime glitch as it never happened before in my game.

Have you experienced this problem?  If so, please comment below!
