Business Outfit Fix

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I am actually not using this mod any more, because I have found another in-game workaround for the business outfit glitch. This method uses the in-game Dress Employee dialogue. Here is how to work around the glitch without any mods:
- Go ahead and hire any employee you want, and then set their uniforms.
- Write down the names of the employees who have the disappearing eyebrows glitch.
- Save and go back to your home lot.
- For the housed, playable employees who are affected, load their household, get the affected employee into their Everyday outfit through a dresser, and then select the Plan Outfit>Everyday interaction and change their Everyday outfit. You can then change the Everyday outfit back to what it was right away. Keep in mind that the sim needs to be in their Everyday outfit through this process, that is, they have to do the swish animation and change their Everyday outfit. That sim should now be fixed, and should appear on the business lot with their own face.
- For townie employees, you have to invite them to your home lot, enable testingcheats, shift-left click on them and select Make Selectable. Then take control of them and make sure they are in their Everyday outfit, if not, change their outfit to Everyday on a dresser. Then, Plan Outfit>Everyday on the dresser, and click the tick button. I believe there won't be any outfits to change to on the dresser for townies, but if you click the tick button, they still do the swish animation. The townie employee should now be fixed, and appear on the business lot properly.
- You can also perform these steps for any sims who are business owners or family of business owners.
- I have found one single situation which will revert this fix and make the fixed employee appear without eyebrows again: if the employee appears on an OFB clothing store as a customer, and then you go and perform the Suggest Outfit For interaction on a clothing rack, and if you succeed in selling that outfit, a Suggest Outfit window comes up. When you select an outfit there, the sim's outfit for that category switches to whatever you select in that Suggest Outfit window. However, if the sim is an employee, they will arrive on their business lot without their eyebrows and so on, again. To fix this, write down the name of the employee sim when you are suggesting an outfit, and when you are done playing that business lot, simply go through the steps above again.

UPDATE 2: Before this update, you could only select clothes categorized as Everyday in the Try On window. This update makes it so that when you perform the Set Uniform interaction, the game brings up the Try On window with Everyday clothes, just like before, but, if you click cancel, then it brings up a window with Formal clothes, then Sportswear, Swimwear, Pyjamas, Underwear and finally Outerwear. You can now dress your employees in any type of outfit you have in your game.

UPDATE 1: This update covers an interesting situation.
- If you have set an employee's uniform, but the employee has aged up from teen-to-young adult/adult, or from adult-to-elder, the employee would arrive in their previous business uniform appropriate for their previous age. So, elders would arrive in adult clothes, and adults would arrive in teen clothes. Adults especially look ridiculous in teen clothes. This update makes it so that if an employee has aged up, then they will not arrive in their business uniform. You will need to set their uniform again. Also, if you already had employees in uniforms before getting this update, you will need to set their uniform again.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION

There is a glitch when you perform the Management>Set Uniform interaction on an OFB employee. The employee's face gets replaced by the Bodyshop mannequin face, they lose their eyebrows and their eye colour changes. This is the most annoying glitch I have ever come across in this game, and it prevents the player from using business uniforms on OFB business lots. Having uniforms is an important thing in OFB. Maxis just can't seem to be able to get outfit features right in their games. Sims 3 and 4 have just as annoying outfit-related glitches.

I had to find a way around this glitch. It looks like the Dress Employee window that comes up when you perform the Set Uniform interaction is broken. Those outfit windows cannot be modded, unfortunately, which means there is no way to actually fix this. But, I've found a permanent workaround. Basically, sims have outfit categories in this game such as Casual 1, Formal, Swimwear and so on. There is a hidden category called "Try On (Business)". It looks like Maxis uses this category in two situations:
- When sims perform the Try On interaction on clothing racks, a window comes up and you choose your outfit, then your sim changes into that Try On (Business) category for a few seconds, looks at themselves in a mirror if there is one, and then switches back into their previous outfit. If the sim is a Servo, or if the interaction is autonomous(disabled by default I think), then the window doesn't come up, your sim gets into the clothing booth, stays there for a while, then gets out of the booth, that is, the sim doesn't change into the Try On (Business) category, because obviously there is nothing to change into, as no window comes up.
- When sims switch into their OFB business outfit.

Then, I thought to myself: why don't I change the clothing rack Try On interaction to work as if it is always autonomous, that is, even when the player directly performs the Try On interaction, no window comes up, the sim goes into the changing booth, stays there for a few minutes and then comes out? This way, the game wouldn't set any outfit to the Try On (Business) outfit category, which would effectively free that category as a potential OFB Business uniform category. Why is this needed to fix OFB business outfits? Because, the only way to fix it is by setting whatever uniform you choose to a separate outfit category that the sim has. The ONLY available category for such a purpose is Try On (Business), because it is only used in that stupid clothing rack interaction.

So, here is what this mod does:
- When you perform the Set Uniform interaction on an OFB employee, the "Try On" window comes up, and you select your employee's uniform. Whatever you select gets saved in the sim's Try On (Business) outfit category. No more disappearing eyebrows, changing face or eyes. Everything works perfectly.
- You cannot perform the Set Uniform interaction on the business owner and the family of the business owner. This is because these sims can have more than one business, and if you were to be able to set a uniform on one business, that would be their uniform in all the others, too. This obviously wouldn't make any sense.
- You cannot set your employee's hairstyle. The Try On window only has clothes in it. So, whatever hairstyle the employee has in their Everyday outfit, will be their hairstyle in their Business outfit.

You can finally have OFB Businesses with employees in their uniforms.
