It was stated many times how our sims needed more clothing slots when planning our outfits for the week ...As of now we only have five ...but with the mannequins (adult and child) based on the answer in the recent interview ... I take it as we now have 30 new slots
Q: How do Mannequins work?
A: You can customize outfits from the clothing in-game and dress up both adult and child mannequins. They can have up to 30 unique outfits assigned to them that customers can try on and purchase.
we can now add 30 new different styles to the mannequin ..... what's so good about that being we have free clothes in the dresser??? This...we can now dress these mannequins in anything (red shoes pink pants and a purple shirt with a bring yellow hat if we wish) therefore the outfits will already be completed..pre-set (after setting them up) all we need to do would be go to it..click..and boom we have on that outfit .
I'm sure we have new clothes ..some may be "purchase only " clothing as well as the free ones or they may change that whole setup with the dresser (maybe... maybe not)...but my point is ...having the mannequins in my opinion brings in a new 30 days... a months worth of outfit changes and not just the five days...depends on how you look at it and how you will play it...
after reading the answer above on how the mannequins will work...how are you comprehending this? will this be the answer to the five clothing slot problem?
being fully aware of the way it is now.... when planning an outfit we can plan up to five and it's "free" but with the mannequins we will have to purchase the clothing in order to wear them...Hmm I wonder if we can have place mannequins at home in our personal wardrobes and click on them when changing instead of the dresser now??
Mannequins could (??) be placed on certain lots like at a gym ..30 different gym outfits or in the bathrooms at a club/ bar(lol) 30 different party outfits ..ect.. you know what I mean? so many ways we could play this...what's your take on it??

That's exactly what I was thinking. I really hope that we will be able to do that. I'll admit that I'm worried that the mannequins will be retail lot only items. But, so far we haven't had that issue with lots. So, I can't be certain. I'm hopeful though. After reading that interview, I'm hopeful for any kind of redemption, large or small.
That's what I thought too, 30 new exclusive clothing options to buy from stores.
but it says they can have "UP TO" 30 unique outfits
meaning we can choose to have 3 on that mannequin or 25 or 30.
which is awesome cos that will save me a lot of space for one little shop
What is being said ..as we know already a sim can plan up to five gym outfits for example so when clicking on our sim we have five options to choose from...now with the new mannequins after wearing number five we can click on the mannequins without going into CAS or the dresser for number 6,7,8 ect..
a mannequin as we know hold up to 30 outfits it's up to us if we wanted it to be all 30 of one category (bedtime). or mixing it up...we know it's only five in CAS however the mannequins is adding many other planned outfits without having to start from scratch every time. for any number after outfit number five.
I hope I am explaining this correctly my English is not that great..(trust me they tease me quite often here in Malibu CA.)
Trust me a little voice keep playing in my head saying "retail item only" I'm trying so hard to ignore it
Believe me, I am too @brsy ! I want so badly to love this expansion pack. I was smitten at first. But, the more I found out, the more disenchanted I became. I'm trying not to let small disappointments get the better of me. I want to enjoy this ep once it comes out. So, fingers crossed!
Whether 30 new outfits come or not is up in the air. I just really want to place the mannequins in my sims wardrobe because who doesn't want a walk in closet?!
(yes, it will mean clicking 30 different times if we wanted to click that much and yes, I know it will not change the five slots we have currently but what it will do is change our sims clothing and that's basically my point)
Not planning to get my hopes up on that one! There's enough expectation-dashing happening around here. It seems more likely that we might be able to create memorized outfits out of the things we already have in the game.
Sorry
At least we know we're getting new hair and clothes and stuff
okay, thanks for letting me at least hold on to the string
anything new added to what we already have so far would be a positive for me.
I know it. I'm just not seeing any evidence so far that that is being added in this EP. I'd love a colour palette to choose from! And I hope it's coming. But I don't see it here.
(If we do get it, I hope it gets patched in for non-EP buyers!)
Alright yeah, makes sense that way. Also I'm super excited for walk in closet possibilities. Because I have some Material Girls who are living a material world.
It's probably not good to assume that "30 outfits" on a mannequin means 30 of any category. In fact, it may be precisely the same (6 categories x 5 outfits each) as what an actual Sim can have. I tend to believe that it will be, as it would be much simpler for the Gurus to re-use the existing clothing system for the mannequins than to design a whole new system. (Some might say this is 'laziness,' but there are actually good aspects to this -- creating more systems means more complexity and that generally leads to more lag/slow-downs in game. As always, it's all a matter of how much is not enough vs. how much is too much -- where do you draw the line?)
Using a mannequin as additional outfit storage requires being able to place one on our home lot -- there's no indication as yet as to whether this is actually possible. It's been said (to the general disappointment of many) that there will be no residential businesses. This being the case, if all Sim-owned/run businesses will need to be on 'retail lots,' it seems unlikely that the new retail items will be allowed on residential lots. (If you could put all the necessities to run the business on your home lot, then . . . well, why couldn't you run the business there? But they've said we can't.)
Obtaining an outfit from said mannequins is also a part of the retail system. This likely means that you can't simply 'change into' an outfit displayed on a mannequin. From what we've heard so far, it seems likely that selecting an outfit from a mannequin then initiates some sort of purchase animation sequence. Even if you can place a mannequin in your home, it may not be functional without the appropriate retail props (cash register, cashier, etc.) also present. An example of this from TS3 -- I was able to place a stage (from the Showtime EP) on my residential lot using the 'buydebug' cheat, but it was totally inert and non-functional. In order to make it function, it needed to be on a lot designated as an appropriate venue and have a proprietor assigned so your Sim could go through the proper sequence, obtaining a gig and so on.
So I really wouldn't get your hopes up too high about this. It's a bit of a leap, to believe that it will work the way you hope it will, IMO.
