Clothing equality mod - adult clothes for elders, buyable maternity and work

[ZephyrZodiac]

Of course, if you didn't have custom stuff it would be a way of getting your elders to walk around in the buff!

[riggs]

Motoki, this works great! Of course, now I've had to make all my elders into fitness freaks. Otherwise, it looks like they made some sort of pact with the Devil to look like that. 

[BlueSoup]

I'm not quite that awesome. Then I would have to move to Montana and live in a bunker. Not quite ready for that yet, but maybe in a few years.

Maybe Pescado needs another cell-mate?

Oh man, could you imagine Pescado with a roommate? 

[ZephyrZodiac]

Well, Inge reckons he has a wife whom he calls darling and a quiverful of grandchildren!

[BlueSoup]

Yeah, I read that!  The very thought makes me laugh.  Although I think there is a lot that is exaggerated with his story, I do believe he is a loner who lives alone.  Whether that's a bunker, well....

He probably lives in a garden shed

Motoki, if we make recolours of the 'unlocked' items, such as the maternity or the work clothes, to offer them up for download, do people need to have this mod installed, or will they show without it?

[Motoki]

Nope. They'll show without it.

For the maternity stuff, there's a chance they could get the recolor when their sim gets pregnant, but which outfit they get is random unless you use some hack or cheat to get around that.

[Emma]

Ok thankyou!

[Kitiara]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

I had an adult female transition to elder the other day and she ended up getting one of the normal Maxis "pregnant" outfits as her default.  I must admit I did a double-take when I saw it.  I decided she looked too fat wearing it, and chose something else.  But it's interesting that it works...

Question:  What happens if you delete this hack after you've set one or more elders to wear clothing that is normally adult-only?  Would it cause the game to crash, or revert to normal Maxis elder-style clothing, or what?  Has anybody tried it?

[Motoki]

As far as I know, the outfit should stay on them until you change it since the meshes and textures are all still part of the game, but I haven't tried it. I'll have to test that out.

[Emma]

Yes, it does Motoki-but I am pretty positive it stays in the dresser as a clothing option. I only put this in when I am playing, and remove it for my daughters to play. They hate custom content (although, strictly speaking-this isn't!) I forgot to put it back in, and when I bought new clothes for my elder cos she got the blue camo strappy number, and got her changed, I am sure it still showed as an option. I am not positive it would still be there if I load my game up again without putting the hack back in though.

[Motoki]

I'm pretty sure once something is in the dresser it stays there. I think the limitations come from Maxis hiding certain outfits from showing up in the bodyshop, CAS and clothing rack for certain age groups but once you buy it, you've got it. The meshes and textures can't be deleted because they come with the game.

[Emma]

Yes, I just checked, and it is still there Just not selectable in CAS.

[Kyna]

I'm pretty sure once something is in the dresser it stays there.

Is there any way to clear out a dresser? 

I have a couple of houses that have had 5 generations through them now.  That's 5 generations of sims who have done a bit of career hopping ... and there's a LOT of work outfits and other clothing I have to look through if I want to change clothes (even with NL's new system of choosing clothes from the dresser).  I'd really like to be able to spring clean those dressers.

[witch]

No. Damn it! I asked that while Maxoid Tom was reading and gathering info for the patch. I would like to clean out wardrobes as well. We should stick it in their bugreporting form I guess.

[KellyQ]

Except it's not really a bug, is it? It's more just annoying.

[Motoki]

I wonder if it's something that could be hacked. Like a hacked dresser or phone or even letter with a 'Donate to Salvation Army' option that would wipe clean all your stored bought outfits.

I mean, the clothing too can swipe an outfit from a sim and stick it in the closet, so in theory it should be possible to take them out.

I'm not really sure where they're stored, in the lot or the family, but there's probably a way to manually delete them in SimPE I would imagine if you know where to look.

[KellyQ]

That would be a great hack; spring cleaning and donate to the Salvation Army all your fugly npc/useless wardrobe choices.

[witch]

Yeah actually, we talked about donating to the sallies last time this topic came up. I think Pescado riffed for a while on the delights of hobos and winos downtown. And possibly getting a sallie army truck to come to the house to pick up the clothes. 

[Motoki]

LOL I was actually thinking something along those lines, that it would be cool if the clothes then went to the townie household and then new townies could be generated wearing them.

[Christianlov]

Motoki, it's just out of my curioisity and I feel sorry cause this is not related with this item. I just hope you can take my question easy. What I am always curious is that................................

Are you Japanese?  (You know I just write this post to amuse you, don't you?)

You know, your nickname sounds like a Japanese name. I studied Japanese and for a very very short time and I think your name sounds like "central tree" or something. 

[Motoki]

Haha, no, I'm actually American but of Italian descent (my father is from Sicily). I did study Japanese for several years though and lived in Japan for a while. I actually got the name Motoki from a Sailor Moon character, heh. I was on a MUCK (a text based chat/roleplaying progam) about 10 years ago and Tuxedo Mask was taken so I chose Motoki the arcade guy. I ended up with an email address with Motoki in it too and the name just sort of stuck.

[Christianlov]

 

I am disappointed. (Joke!) 

"of Italian descent (my father is from Sicily)"

Sounds cool! 

[WoundedImmortal]

This is absolutely excelent!  Great work
