Given how, if I buy 1 white shirt while in a household of 3, that does not mean all 3 of us now get to all wear that same white shirt at the same time. When initially creating a new household, all the clothing options are all locked.Maybe to be fair you can get your 1st clothing options for free as you start the game, but the rest is all locked.Or alternatively, as you create a new household, you get to select a starterbudget for clothes, or it comes straight out of the starter finances maybe.Īs you are now playing, you can go to the stores, or online, to buy certain clothing items.Personally, I would prefer if they're locked even independently of color, as obviously the same shirt but in different colors are still multiple different shirts.Īs you acquire a new clothing item, it should appear in your sim's personal inventory, and like with knitted items, if I recall correctly on how that worked, you can choose to add it to your CAS items for use, or maybe give it away, or sell it again.Īs such, you should also be able to take clothing back out of your CAS to sell at a reduced price as 2nd hand clothing.Maybe, possibly, but just an idea, it would also be a good idea for this is CAS actually counted how many of the same clothing pieces you actually have when you add or substract clothing items. So here's my suggestion for a rework of this all: You barely have the money to even sustain yourself, yet you can choose to walk around in fancy suits.Truly the most expensive beggar out there, given how even a single good suite that's not even brand can still cost you a good €500,- IRL. Yet, that "clothing on your back" literally includes all clothing, including expensive suits, all entirely for free! I've always thought it was kinda weird how, when playing rags to riches, you're supposed to have nothing but the clothing on your back and a tiny piece of empty land. This challenge helps to break that cycle and instead focus and appreciate what you already have.So, I've had this idea for a while, but I was wondering what the opinions would be on it. “For many people tapping ‘add to cart’ has become a habit while scrolling. “You can’t buy your way into style,” Lee says. Participants in Lee’s challenge range from teenagers to pensioners. I’m using it as a way to reset and remind myself that I already have enough clothes.” “It’s helping me understand the type of clothes I wear. Instead, the tracking trend incorporates other sustainability challenges such as “no buy January” and “30 wears”, which suggests wearing a piece of clothing at least 30 times in order to justify its environmental impact.įor Hannah Rochell, the founder of, a sustainable style website, who previously took part in a year-long shopping ban, daily tracking is a way of ensuring old habits don’t re-emerge. These habits include shopping mindfully from secondhand shops rather than, say, showcasing shopping hauls from retailers such as Shein, which on average uploads a whopping 10,000 items to its site each day. These types of tracking trends mark a shift in consumer behaviour as many cohorts, including those aged 12 to 27, look for an alternative to fast fashion. However, instead of working out for 75 consecutive days, Lee has asked participants to document their look each day and not buy anything new. Coined by Mandy Lee, a New York-based fashion analyst, it’s a fashion twist on a popular fitness challenge. On TikTok, a challenge called the “75-day hard style challenge” has gone viral with the hashtag amassing more than 390,000 views in its first five days.

Last week, Laura Reilly, the founder of the shopping newsletter Magasin, released a list of everything she bought in 2023 with an accompanying cost-per-use analysis. “It encourages me to try new ensembles and catalogue the journey and it also tells me how much I’m wearing certain items.” “It inspires me to wear my whole wardrobe,” she says. The wardrobe-tracking trend is being led by sustainability advocates such as the writer Aja Barber. A spokesperson for Whering says there has been a 34% year-on-year increase in uploads from users with more than 600,000 items submitted in the first four days of January alone. Others are carrying out wardrobe inventories, creating detailed spreadsheets that break items down into cost per wear.Īpps that let users create their own virtual wardrobe by uploading photos of their existing clothing and accessories are also seeing a rise in use. Some are uploading daily mirror selfies to social media and listing each item they are wearing.
