for everyday outfits I have 5 versions. Whenever I get bored ore if a new pack comes out with cool & nice stuff, I change them.

i change my fashion lover Sim's clothes every day (well, it's more like every 2-3 days, because i often forget, ha). everybody else, maybe once a week. they all have two everyday outfits, and one each for the remaining categories. so there's a little variety when they change after showering.
i use the mirror, not the dresser, though. maybe i should have voted for "other"...
It depends on whether I'm going to play a Single family and invest myself long term in the save or not. Although sometimes it doesn't make sense for the game, for example I'm currently playing the Abandoned Kids Challenge (by @Xoxk9) and everyone has a single outfit for each category, though some of the pieces are reused (shoes for example) and the outfits have pieces that clash like they had to take whatever was available to them.
Usually make 3 to 5 outfits in most categories (usually leave it at one swimsuit and one fitness outfit).
Only ever change their clothes out at times when I think it's time for a change or a new pack comes out with some brand spankin' new clothes that might fit a certain sim. I know I give townies at least another outfit or so, just to change things up a bit.
I make 2 outfits: for summer and winter. I keep it like that until they become an elder so make another elderly combinations for summer and winter :blush:
I give them an outfit for every category, but I don't have them change into a different "every day outfit" ; they usually wear the same thing every day, sleep in the same pjs, work out in the same outfit and have an evening outfit. I don't have seven different evening gowns for every night of the week if they happen to go OUT every night to a place requiring a dressy outfit. Does that make sense? I think I'm confusing myself. LOL
Usual set up for a sims wardrobe: Everyday has 1 to 3 outfits. Formal has 1. Workout has 1. Sleep has 1 to 2. Party has 1. Swimwear has 1.5 (the .5 is the same outfit only with more accessories that you wouldn't want to wear in the pool e.g. sunhat and sandles) and... I play on PS4, so, no Seasonal options, yet.
I can spend an hour perfecting my Sim's look, and usually set one outfit per category. Some Sims get an additional outfit if their story requires it, but generally I treat them like cartoon characters and what they wear is what they wear. I'll update them for life changes like aging up, marriage, having children, or career switches, but often keep their original outfit as one of the extras for nostalgia. It bothers me when they auto-change into something that's not their main outfit!
I keep it simple. I pick their outfits when the age up (to toddler, child, and teen) since the game has this weird love affair with glasses and sleepwear. From teen, they tend to keep the same outfits, but, once in a while, I will update the outfit or change it slightly, but never anything major.

I give my Sims four or five everyday outfits but usually let them choose which one of them they want to wear each day. I really like to change up their hairstyles too. It really bothers me though if their day-to-day hairstyles aren't consistent (for instance, if one day they have bangs and the next day they don't.) I usually just give them one outfit for the other categories though. Tbh I kind of wish that the other categories (except swimwear and sleepwear) didn't exist, and that they would just wear their everyday stuff to special events unless I told them otherwise.
For my legacy family I do 3+ outfits per category except for formal and athletic because they don't get used to much. I just let them change into them randomly. I will change them periodically if I'm just not happy with how they look or I just get bored with them.
I don't usually change outfits; what's more, I only use the daily, pijama and sports ones... My sims rarely go to a party. But what I indeed do is changing them when they age up, and I find it very satisfying.
I keep the same outfits until my Sims age up. (I have over 250 Sims. I use the clothes and hair to distinguish them from each other.)
I'd love to see a singing career in game, EA! You can't let the singing skill go to waste! My TS4 EPs: GTW, GT, CL, C&D, S, GF, IL, DU, EL, SE, CoL, HSY, GrT, HR, FR GPs: OR, SD, DO, V, P, JA, SV, RoM, DHD, MWS
I definitely could not be bothered to change their outfits daily so I plan out a few and let them decide but will restyle as I see fit. CAS is by far my favorite part of the game.
Although with seasons I now give them season appropriate attire.
I change their outfits every time they age up, and then give them a small makeover every once in a while. They typically wear whatever the game puts them in after they shower or whatever.
I only set 1-2 outfits per category. I change them whenever the mood strikes me -- because I'm bored or for story/character reasons -- but usually it's not that often. I do always adjust their wardrobes after they enter a new life stage.
I've finding with Seasons I change their everyday outfits more often, because your everyday clothes in summer would be quite different than in winter, even if it wasn't hot/cold enough to trigger the special outfits!
I typically have multiple outfits for each category from toddler up to elder. I occasionally switch out an outfit when I get bored of it or when I find something that suites that sim's personality.
I make anywhere from 1 to 5 outfits per category, usually at least 2 everyday and sleepwear outfits and 1 for the others (generally 3 sleepwear outfits - 2 normal and 1 for *ahem* certain other purposes), and rotate between them when I or the game feel like it. Occasionally I'll switch outfits around when they age up, but that's more likely to be teen-YA or adult-elder than YA-adult (since I generally imagine, especially if I created them with kids, their style wouldn't change that much).
