Can someone please point me to a tutorial on how to extract and recategorize the military career dress uniform to make it available as buyable formal attire? Any of a half-dozen hacks make it available as an everyday option, but I have looked and looked and can't find any provision for making it formal.

Hmm, now there's a trick to that. Lemme see what I can do, the tutorials in this regard are extremely bad, resulting in duplicated textures and massive memory waste. And here you go. The Army uniforms can now be planned as formal outfits...if you have earned them from the military career, or if you cheat.  |

Ever have things you didn't know you wanted until someone gave it to you? This was one of them...

Note also how I have kept things to an absolutely tiny filesize, instead of somebody's mammoth gargantuan 4 MB bloatware file. Some people have complained that I'm terminally anal for chopping things down to the last byte, but if more people followed this practice, TS2 would have fit on a single CD instead of requiring 4, and expansions would come on floppies.

Yeah, but CDs are shiny! Yep. I've never liked floppys for the precise reason that they're so ugly. I'm more a sleek modern or ornate classical kinda girl - I've never been much into retro. |

The fact that they were hidiously slow was also an issue. |

Small caution: this conflicts with Motoki's Buyable Work and NPC Clothes. I had to remove that (and just to be safe, all the rest of the hack) before the uniforms showed up as formal options.
However, I am delighted to say that now my military officers look great in their dress uniforms!
Thank you, JM!

As long as you make sure this loads after, you should be fine. Although it won't be buyable. You gotta earn 'em! They're not like some of those OTHER uniforms, which are just ordinary suits and jackets.

"Hideously slow". Pffft. Somebody obviously never played games on a Commodore 64 that loaded from a cassette drive... |

I have been spared that pain. I have however suffered through an installation of Microsoft Office 6.0 on 37 diskettes on 20 computers one after the other. Slightly back on topic, what's the trick here? Does one just change the categoy propery number in the Property Set? Which numbers represent what? |

And renaming it to simarmyformal would be sufficient to do that? I don't care about the buyable work clothes (I just installed that in my quest to make uniforms a formal option for my military sims), but the wider clothing choices the rest of Motoki's hack gives is very nice. |

I redid my file to make the military clothes show up as formal too. Only took me about a minute to do. Just replace the old one with this one. Actually I will probably just put this version up in the thread too since it won't hurt anyone to have the military uniforms show up as formal I don't think. Pescado's is still good if you don't want to cheat and want to earn the uniform. Normally I don't cheat but I like having the work and npc clothes buyable for assigning uniforms for businesses, although admittedly I don't see myself ever assigning military uniforms too business employees Oh and I didn't mess with the elder versions, but I made the adult versions available for adult, young adult and elders. |

I don't think things need to be buyable to be assignable to employees as uniforms. I've seen all the NPC and career uniforms in there even though I don't have anything making them buyable.
