There is an old mod by crammyboy to stop townies showing up on comm lots or at homes in work clothes but it wasn't updated for later EPs. Squinqe was apparently going to make a mod for this but it doesn't seem like it was ever done.

Posted by Squinge in the Always wear casual to work topic back in 2006:
"The townie sims wearing work clothes on community lots is on my todo list someone else requested that fix."

Is there anything out there to stop townies wearing work clothes? I wouldn't mind if they wore casual when brought home from work, but I don't want to stop my playables from wearing work clothes too. I understand if no one is really working on Sims 2 stuff anymore but if this exists somewhere or someone could give me advice for a workaround I'd very much appreciate it. This is my number one annoyance right now. BTW, I have all EPs and the holiday and celebration SPs.

Thanks!

Edit: Been looking for things that might work for this and found the carpoolfix from MATY, which is available here. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/al/hacks/
This makes the townies brought home from work wear the outfit for their own rank, instead of matching the playable sim. I wonder if this could be modified either to set everyday clothes for townies brought home or something like having them be brought home in level 1 outfit which is usually their everyday wear.

Wish I had the knowledge to figure it out myself. If noone can make this mod can someone maybe give me some direction for figuring out how to change it? I do have SimPE but can only do very basic clothes categorizing type stuff.
