After having all my Adult Sims grow up to Elders, I found that there was just not enough clothes for these new Elder Sims to wear. I also found that my Sims’ distinct clothes could not be worn by them any longer. So that’s why I set to work making this mod! Basically this mod makes all the Young Adult, and Adult outfits, tops, and bottoms for all categories available for Young Adults, Adults, and Elders. All the University clothing will show up for both Adults and Elders (as well as still being useable by Y.A.) And all the Adult clothing from the Base Game as well as all the Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs made available for Young Adults and Elders to wear as well. The Sims 2 Store and Custom Maxis Outfits are also made available for the three age groups with this mod.
This title is also the first in a line of expansion packs that will address our players desires, further develop The Sims 2 franchise and continually expand the world of the Sims creating almost endless gameplay and storytelling possibilities.
As you may know some of the elder clothing is the same as the adult clothing although the body shape is different. (And the game also sees it as different clothes). This mod makes all adult clothing show up for Elders, and any of the matching elder clothing (which has a different body shape) is hidden from the game. I have however left all the matching elder Tops and Bottoms un-hidden as using an Adult Top with an Elder Bottom or vice versa. Well they just don't go. But sometimes you may still want to use an elder-only bottom, but want to use it with an adult/elder matching top. But if my mod hid the elder version of the top, using the adult version of the top would again make the Sim look silly.
Noti dlya fortepiano pesni ani lorak. So to make more combos available I have left the matching tops and bottoms un-hidden. The Elder clothes I have hidden will still be useable, and will still show up in your Sims’ dressers if they have already bought them. They will just not show up in Create-A-Sim or when buying clothes at stores. They can be used in Create-A-Sim using the boolProp cheat however, and they will also be available when setting an Elder’s uniform in a business. So that big long explanation is over and done with. But first I need to make sure you know that I am aware that there are various University clothes unlocking mods, but I like to make my mod 'complete' and having all EPs and SPs included except Uni would be silly.
But one advantage to my mod is it unlocks the Uni Clothes for Elders where as ones I've used before have not. I'm also aware of the Clothing Equality mod at MATY. However that has not been updated since OFB, so I thought I'd make my own version. But I really need to make sure you know this!
I did not just collect these mods in and add them to my bigger mod. I started from scratch extracting from the skins folder, and editing them, etc. I would like to credit those mods however as I could compare my mods with them to see why certain clothing was not showing up. The mods I compared with were SimsBaby's 'More University Clothing for Adults' mod from MTS2 and Motoki's 'Clothing Equality' mod from MATY.
Now back to business. You only need to download the files which edit the clothes for EPs and SPs. So say you have The Base Game, Seasons, and FFS. You only need to download 'The Sims 2 Clothing for Y.A. To Elders', 'Seasons Clothing for Y.A. To Elders', and 'Family Fun Stuff Clothing for Y.A. In fact you don't need to download them all.
You may only want to unlock the Seasons clothing. So just download the Seasons file. If you own all EPs and SPs and want all clothes to be available for Y.A. To Elders, download the 'All Expansion and Stuff Pack Clothing for Y.A.
