While the missions, combat, and exploration are exciting, many players spend a significant amount of time perfecting their character's look.

In this guide, we will explore every possible way to change your character's outfit, how to unlock secret clothing, and even how to dress up the NPCs (Non-Player Characters) that follow you. With hundreds of combinations available, you can turn Sakura Town into your own personal fashion runway.

Method 1: Changing Clothes via the Title Screen

The most comprehensive way to change your character's clothes is through the main title screen before you enter the game world. This is the only place where you have access to the full wardrobe and hair customization options.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Launch the Sakura School Simulator app.
  2. On the main loading screen, look for the button labeled "Select Costume" (usually located on the left side).
  3. Select the character you want to customize (Girl, Boy, Little Boy, Little Girl, or Cat Butler).
  4. Browse through the categories: Clothing, Hair, Glasses, and Masks.
  5. Click on an outfit to preview it. If the outfit has a "lock" icon, you will need to watch a 30-second advertisement to unlock it for that session.
  6. Once satisfied, click the "Back" button and then click "New Game" or "Load Game" to start playing with your new look.

Method 2: Changing Clothes During Gameplay (Chara Edit)

Did you know you don't have to exit the game to change your look? If you are already in the middle of a mission and want to swap into something more suitable, you can use the Chara Edit menu.

How to Access In-Game Clothing Changes:

  • Tap the Menu button in the top left corner of the screen.
  • Select the Chara Edit / Item Edit tab.
  • Under the Chara Edit tab, look for the "Clothing" button.
  • Note: This menu is slightly more limited than the title screen. While you can change the color of your current clothes and switch between basic categories, some high-tier costumes (like the Ranger Suit or Alice in Wonderland dress) might require you to be at home or use the title screen method.

Method 3: Changing Clothes at the Character's House

For players who enjoy immersive roleplaying, the best way to change clothes is by going "home." Each character has a dedicated house in Sakura Town.

The Wardrobe Method:

  1. Teleport to your house (e.g., "Girl's House" or "Boy's House") using the Area Move menu.
  2. Walk inside and find the closet or wardrobe in the bedroom.
  3. Stand in front of the mirror or the closet until the "Action" button appears with the text "Change Clothes."
  4. Tap the button to open a simplified version of the costume selection menu. This allows you to change outfits instantly without going back to the title screen.

How to Change Outfits for NPCs and Friends

One of the most fun features in Sakura School Simulator is the ability to customize your friends. If you want to have a squad of ninjas or a group of students in matching uniforms, you can do so easily.

Requirements for NPC Customization:

  • You must have a high relationship level with the NPC. Talk to them and give them praises until they become your "Friend" or "Lover."
  • Once they are following you, approach them and tap "Talk."
  • Select the "Chara Edit" option in the NPC's menu.
  • Now you can change their clothes, hair, and accessories just like your own character!

How to Unlock New and Secret Outfits

While many clothes are available for free, some of the most powerful and visually stunning outfits are locked. Here is how you can expand your wardrobe:

Unlock Method Type of Clothing Description
Watch Advertisements Premium Outfits Most fantasy and high-tier costumes are unlocked by watching a 30-second ad on the Select Costume screen.
Game Updates Seasonal Outfits The developers often add Christmas, Halloween, or Summer-themed clothes during app updates.
Mission Completion Achievement Outfits Certain items, like specialized masks or accessories, are rewarded after defeating bosses or completing school tasks.

Outfits with Special Abilities and Functions

Changing clothes isn't just about aesthetics; it’s about tactical advantages. Some outfits change how you play the game entirely.

Abilities Breakdown:

  • Police Uniform: Allows you to arrest NPCs and prevents the police from attacking you if they see you carrying a weapon.
  • Shrine Maiden (Miko): Grants the ability to shoot magical fireballs.
  • Ranger Suit: Equips you with high-tech armor and a powerful laser beam attack.
  • Alice in Wonderland Dress: Allows you to change your size to become a giant or a tiny character.
  • Maternity Dress: Makes you completely invincible to all forms of damage.

Common Issues: Why Can't I Change Clothes?

Sometimes, players find that the "Action" button doesn't appear or the menu is grayed out. Here are the common reasons why:

  1. You are in a vehicle: You cannot change clothes while driving a car or riding a bicycle.
  2. You are being attacked: If the police or Yakuza are actively chasing you, the "Change Clothes" option in the house might be disabled for safety.
  3. Relationship Level too low: If you are trying to change an NPC's clothes and the option isn't there, you need to praise them more to increase your friendship.
  4. Internet Connection: If you are trying to unlock a locked outfit via an ad, you must have an active internet connection to load the video.

Pro Tips for Character Customization

To truly master the fashion of Sakura Town, keep these tips in mind:

  • Match the Colors: Use the "Color 1" and "Color 2" buttons in the Chara Edit menu to coordinate your outfit with your hair color.
  • Use Accessories: Don't forget hats, glasses, and wings. These can be moved and resized using the Item Edit menu to fit any hairstyle perfectly.
  • Save Your Design: If you create a look you love, remember that the game saves your last-worn outfit for each character. You can have the Girl dressed as a Ninja and the Boy dressed as a Police Officer simultaneously.
  • NPC Themes: Dress your followers in the same uniform as you to create a "gang" or a "club" aesthetic for your screenshots.
