Weird - Sim is never nude but did not select that as a trait

[Sidheed]

One of my seems does not have the never nude trait but always seems to have clothes on in the shower. Any ideas on what is happening?

At first I thought it may be a trait combo, so I wiped all my traits. Then I thought it was a custom skin. Changed it and no. Then I checked another house hold and it was not happening to them. I have no idea why this is happening. Can anyone help?

First, please make the title more descriptive.
Second, have you tried using the resetsim cheat?

[Sidheed]

yes, I have.

Ya,a better title would help a lot. One of my sims does that went taking a bath,puts on some CC dress and nobody else does it.Doesn't bother me so I haven't fixed it.

My first suspicion would be an impropoerly made clothing package. See if you can identify the outfit and open it in either the CTU tool or TSR Workshop. Under properties, check the categories and see if "naked" is checked as a category. If it is, uncheck it. Then save the modified package and put it back in your game.

A lot of people making clothing really don't understand what they are doing. This is understandable because the documentation for the clothing editors range from non-existant to poor. People making clothing learn by experimentation and trial and error. Unfortunately those of us who download their items get to be the subjects of their experiments.

was this sim born in game by chance?

Maybe she's just too lazy to do laundry AND shower. Sounds like something I might try :D

Bad CC. Some moron set your items to be wearable in the "naked" outfit, and therefore, the game has chosen it.

I would not call the person a moron. The editors used for this type of thing, CTU and TSRW, suffer from a serious lack of good documentation. There are really only two methods of learning how to do things, not only for making game clothing, but for most things in life: someone tells you how to do something, or you learn by trial an error.

There really is only one tutorial on clothing categories, and is simply says "Change the categories" without explaining what the categories are. There are buttons, selections and files used on both editors which have no explanation.

Unfortunately, the Sims community is one where the people who know how to do stuff don't want to share this information, viewing their knowlege and tricks as some sort of "trade secret." And the creators who make stuff really don't want to learn, becoming offended when someone tries to offer meaningful comments. (In fact, I really don't see the point of having a comments section with most custom content, because most of the comments are based on a screenshot rather than in game experience with an item.)

This error is not something which is immediately apparent. You can design a piece of clothing with this problem and not discover the problem, because it comes up randomly. (Particularly if you have selected the "random" box in your editor.) There are quite a few clothing items with this problem.

The OP really has two choices: remove the offending outfit or fix it. They might also try to post a comment advising the creator of the problem, but this is risky. More likely than not, the creator will become offended by such helpful advice ("Hey, your outfit is borking my game!"), and either will not or cannot fix it.

:O No idea where that came from. I don't think this is true at all, at least in general. If it were, we would have no mod tools and no tutorials. In fact there are dozens (hundreds?) of tuts at this site alone, and I imagine thousands in the community as a whole. You are aware of the material here, right? :) http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Modding

Certainly, some modders are more helpful to beginners than others. You can't really blame somebody, though, who sees themselves as primarily a modder rather than as primarily a teacher of other modders. Writing a good tutorial, specifically, is not easy -- it's an extremely time-consuming process, much more so than actually doing the modding. Teaching others to mod is both more difficult and less rewarding than just producing your own mods.

One reason is because practically any modding project requires multiple tools, usually at least two and sometimes three or four, including general purpose tools like image editors and mesh editors as well as community-made tools like CTU or S3PE. And installing and learning to use all this software takes some basic familiarity with computer and computer graphics concepts. Folks who start from zero, without knowing how to download and install a free app on their computer for instance, or what an alpha channel is, are going to have a learning curve -- every tut assumes you know SOMETHING. Folks who want to learn to mod should expect to spend some time educating themselves on these basic concepts first; there's plenty of material on all of it available online. Sometimes expectations get out of hand, as in "I don't know what a folder is, and I don't want to have to learn, can you teach me to script?"

And yes, there are some gaps in the tutorial library, despite the numbers of entries we already have. If that's a concern, the solution is to start contributing to fill those gaps.

As for the idea that mentioning a bug in a comment is risky, I guess that could be true in a small minority of cases :p In every case where I've done that, assuming the modder was still active and monitoring their threads, I've gotten a helpful response and a fix, if one was possible.

I managed to fix her, I just aged her to an adult and then aged her back down. SO it fixed the problem.

How did you fix this as I am having the same problem. the only mod I have is nomosaic and no I don't have the no nude trait either. Is this a age issue as you just changed age if so how do you change the age?

[aeval99]

When a Sims goes through an age change all of their clothes change, so the bad item of clothing is no longer on the Sim. If you have no downloads then this method won't work for you, and it would be much easier just to remove the bad cc anyway.

Are you sure that you have no cc in your game? Not a Sim or an outfit from the Exchange or something? Also, are you sure that you have the correct version of no mosiac for the games/patches that you have?

Is this the right download? http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=392100 I have not bought anything from the sim store or exchange

Do you have the High End Loft stuff pack installed? If not, then it's the wrong version of the mod.
