Dressers, sometimes called wardrobes, are objects, usually purchased in buy mode, which allow Sims to change their clothes. Sims using the dresser can change into their 'normal' clothes, and can change into pajamas/sleepwear, swimwear, and formal wear in all games; Some games and expansion packs introduced other changing options, such as 'High Fashion' in The Sims: Superstar or 'Outerwear' in The Sims 2: Seasons.

In The Sims, dressers hold all items of everyday clothing available in the game. Prior to The Sims: Hot Date, they could can even change a Sim's body type, since body type in the game was only determined by the item of clothing being worn. Beginning with Hot Date, Maxis dressers were changed so that they only showed clothing for the Sim's body type, though custom dressers based on pre-Hot Date dressers still worked in the old way.

If a Maxis dresser allows Sims to change into winterwear and/or high fashion, and a custom dresser does not, that's a sure sign that the custom dresser is an "old-style" one.


In The Sims 2, only clothes purchased by a Sim on a community lot would be available in the dresser. The Sims 3 introduced full outfit customization, including changing clothing, shoes and accessories, using the Plan Outfit interaction via the dresser.
