Sims 4 How to Change Work Outfit MCCC vs Cheat

Q: What is the cheat to change a work outfit in Sims 4?

sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas . Enter testingcheats true first, with the Sim you want to edit active.

Q: How do I change an NPC's work outfit?

Get the Sim's ID with sims.get_sim_id_by_name First Last and add it to the career outfit cheat, or play that Sim's household and use the plain cheat.

Change a work outfit with the game cheat

Play the Sim whose work outfit you want to change. The cheat acts on the active Sim.
Open the cheat console: Ctrl+Shift+C on PC, Cmd+Shift+C on Mac.
Type testingcheats true and press Enter.
Type sims.modify_career_outfit_in_cas and press Enter.
Create a Sim opens with the career outfit. Change it and confirm.

This is a cheat built into the game, shared by helpers on EA's own forums. One player there reported it worked without testingcheats true; entering it first does no harm.

For a Sim you are not playing

The same EA Forums thread gives a way to target another Sim, such as a coworker:

Type sims.get_sim_id_by_name First Last to get that Sim's ID.
Run the career outfit cheat with the ID added after it.

Or switch to that Sim's household and use the plain cheat.

What MCCC can and cannot do with outfits

Deaderpool's documentation has no "change work outfit" command. What it does document:

MCCC feature	What it does	Career outfit?
Modify in CAS (Sim menu, or MCCC > Sim Commands)	Opens Create a Sim for that Sim	Not documented as editing the career outfit
`dresser_co First Last outfit`	Changes the Sim into one of their outfits	No career category
`dresser_copy`	Copies an outfit to another category, another Sim, or both	No career category
`dresser_os` / `dresser_ol`	Saves the current outfit and loads saved outfits	No career category
Replace Situation Outfit (MC Dresser)	Lets MC Dresser replace the outfit of some roles a Sim is filling	Only where the role allows it

The MC Dresser commands take these outfit categories: Everyday (E), Athletic (At), Formal (F), Party (P), Swimwear (Sw), Sleepwear (Sl), Cold Weather (CW), Hot Weather (HW) and Batuu (BT). Career is not on the list.

Some guides mention an MCCC menu entry for the career outfit. It is not in the official documentation, so look in your own Sim menu before counting on it. The cheat above works either way.

Replace Situation Outfit: the MC Dresser setting for role outfits

If the outfit you dislike is on an NPC doing a job, this MC Dresser setting is the closest MCCC tool. Deaderpool's FAQ explains how to tell whether it can act:

Open the Sim's detail log and find the section "Roles Sim is Currently filling".
A tag next to a role means MC Dresser can replace that outfit.
"No job-specific outfit" or "Specific Situational Outfit" means it cannot.

To keep MCCC from changing a particular Sim's clothes at all, give that Sim the Flag Bypass Outfit Change flag.

MC Dresser commands for the other outfits

For everything except career wear, MC Dresser is quick. Type these in the console on a lot. After the first command MC Dresser remembers the Sim, so you can leave the name out.

Command	Result
`dresser_co john smith`	Reports which outfit John Smith is wearing
`dresser_os john smith E.At`	Saves the current outfit for Everyday and Athletic
`dresser_ol john smith`	Loads the next saved outfit in the current category
`dresser_rand`	Replaces the whole outfit with random items

Join several categories with a period, or write All. More menus and commands: how to use MCCC. Menu missing? MCCC not working.
