What this mod does
The dresscode sign is a scripted object. When placed and armed, it monitors the room where it's located and forces any Sim entering the room to change their outfit category to whatever you have selected.
You can place it indoors, outdoors and even under water inside pools.
Works on home lots and community lots.
How to use it
Step 1: Find the Sign
The sign is so well hidden that I had to draw a map:
Just remember, it's in build mode, not buy mode. By all that pool stuff.
Step 2: Place the sign
Grab it and place it. Not that hard. Also read "correct placement" below.
Step 3: Arm the sign
Switch back to live-mode. That's where you control your Sims.
Click on the sign you just placed and select a clothing category.
Selecting "None" will disarm the script.
Done.
The sign will now lurk and force all sims entering it's room to change their outfit category.
Advanced... Sub-Menu
Limitations
Does not affect tourists
-Only triggers when Sims enter a "room". Sims will still change their clothing autonomously when exiting the shower, working out, when they go home and such.
-When you change room layouts in build mode the sign will not notice. Just re-arm it by clicking your desired clothing category again.
-Sims have a funny handcuffed walk while their outfit is being applied. That's a bit annoying but shouldn't be dangerous.
Correct placement
-Keep this in mind: The game treats spaces enclosed by fences or hedges as rooms. The "outside" of a lot is a room and also any pool.
-Use this rule of thumb when something is not working: If Sims are able to walk up to the sign and touch it, it's placed correctly in that room.
Compatibility
Game patch 1.63 or earlier. Nobody knows how earlier.
I'm not aware of incompatibilities with other mods or EPs.

Advanced... Sub-Menu
The Advanced Sub-Menu is intended for advanced Sub-Menu users only!
Only visible when testingcheatsenabled true.
Hide
The sign will fade out and completely disappear. It will no longer be clickable!
Unhide all on Lot
Unhide all Desscode Signs on the current lot.
Also displays statistics about how many DresscodeSigns you have in your world and on your lot. It's so easy to forget one
Protip about hiding:
-When you go to Buy/Build Mode all DresscodeSigns become visible again so you can move them around. Unfortunately moving around is all you can do.
-Be quick! The sign takes a while to fade out when you return to live mode. That's your chance to click the sign and set new options. Why not click unhide?
-If you're slow - or if you put your sign on a community lot you will need to put up another DresscodeSign on that specific lot to be able to unhide any hidden one. Plan ahead and keep a surplus sign in the basement where nobody sees it - using it just to acess the "unhide" function.
Outfit Index...Allows you to select the desired outfit-index. This way Sims can change directly to categories like Everyday 2, Formalwear 3, Sleepwear 1 and such.More Outfits...
If the outfit is not found the Sim changes to Outfit 1 in the given category.
Please note: Changing the outfit of your Sims manually via the original "Change Outfit" interaction can change the order of outfits. If you change into "Everyday 2" the game will put this outfit as the new "Everyday 1".
Experimental feature. Lists specific outfit categories that usually do not work.
