Anyone recognise this outfit?

[windy_moon]

Iron Chef.  Okay, I get it now.

That would have been funny if they had made the outfit well enough the joke didn't have to be explained.   

Career outfits are terrible in TS2.  I remember enjoying them in TS1, for the most part, wondering what outfit a new promotion was going to come up with. 

I just cringe in TS2 and try to remember not to take pictures until they change clothes. I don't know which is worse -- the horrible track suit or the horrible burgundy pantsuit the business women wear.  *gack*  Yeah, that's what a female company president dresses in, clothes from the career section at WalMart.

*blink* I got it immediately and I don't watch TV...

[J. M. Pescado]

I got it also, and I've never seen the show at all. I thought it was pretty obvious just based on the job's description, that it was some sort of silly competition. I didn't even know what the name of the thing it was parodying was, but I'd seen enough jabs at it elsewhere to recognize more of the same.

I don't watch TV either, and I certainly didn't get it!  (Perhaps because  a) I rarely watched cooking programmes when I did watch TV, and b) we don't get that many Japanese programmes here anyway!)  And I would never have guessed!  To me, a Celebrity Chef would either wear as has been suggested the white chef suit and hat (which they made so well for Sims1), or they'd wear a smart casual outfit for appearing on chat shows etc.

Same here ZephyrZodiac. I don't even have a TV so there's no way I was going to get a parody of some obscure Japanese show.

[ZephyrZodiac]

And who would care anyway what kind of wierd get-up they wear?  I mean, one would just say, oh, well, they do things differently in Japan, maybe that's like a normal chef's outfit there.  I mean, he could hardly wear a kimono, it wouldn't be very convenient and could so easily catch fire when making crepes suzettes!

I saw Melissa Fancey in that outfit once, and I thought she must be like a Chinese-food-delivery person or something.  *8)  Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be Gina Raptor's work outfit.  (My previous Celebrity Chef, Kaylynn Langerak, got the nice red one.)  Once I internalized the funny Iron Chef reference, though, I stopped minding.  (And since it was Gina's LTW, she didn't mind anything anymore.  "Hey, whatever!  I'm a Celebrity Chef!!")

While I dislike most of the outfits for careers on s2 i do enjoy the top career of the natural scientist, gives me giggles, especially when they are wearing that outfit when you save and close that lot and then are wandering around in it later...hehe.

Figleaves are Fun, yay!

[Bangelnuts]

I must admit that Uniform is creative for sure

[ZephyrZodiac]

But maybe a bit of a no-no here in the UK!  Just a bit chilly around the nether regions!

[Bangelnuts]

it wouldnt be a no no in the U.S.  but it definitely would be a bit chilly where I live since we have snow in the forecast for tommorow and Thursday

[ZephyrZodiac]

Definitely not figleaf weather!

[RainbowTigress]

It's interesting how we aren't allowed to see sims sitting fully clothed on the toilet or a baby on the potty, yet we can see sims parading around with nothing but a fig leaf strategically placed.  To me, that is more erotic than seeing a baby have his or her diaper changed!

[ZephyrZodiac]

I'd definitely agree with that, Rainbow.  They're such a mixed-up bunch aren't they (the Maxoids, I mean, not the figleaves!)

I tend to agree with you there Rainbow

[simposiast]

I like the female criminal mastermind suit, I have an elder sim who wears it all the time. It looks great on a sim with white hair, and it's way better than all those granny clothes.

[eamethyst]

What I find most annoying about the Celebrity Chef uniform is that you get all of the variations in your wardrobe, but do not have the ability to select which one you want your Sim to wear.  At least I apparently don't have that ability.

I like it too, actually.  I always let them wear it when they get home from work.  It's a hoot seeing them fetch the mail, etc. in it.

As for the celebrity chef outfit....I like it.  I think it looks like something a TV-chef would wear (I guess the Iron Chef).

It's not really a question of being "allowed" to see that. The reason you don't see that is because, well, sims can't actually drop their pants to use the toilet. The blur is an attempt to hide this and push the action off-screen.

I think the color you get to actually wear to work is decided by your sim's coloration, based on some combination of his skin, eye, and hair colors. All the variaitons may be planned at the dresser, though.

I just want to know how come the Celebrity Chef gets all those choices, and the poor Icon only gets a grubby old tracksuit that the Rookie wouldn't be seen dead in!

[bloodstainedkisses]

Here's a bit of a question... is there some sort of hack or mod out there, that will let you have replacments for career clothes? I'm picky about my hacks, and mods, only JM, TJ, and Inge's stuff in my game. ^^

Just a thought. (:

[ZephyrZodiac]

Would be nice!  But I think I read somewhere that it wasn't possible, but there again, things change.

I wish there were a hack like that as well. the Broadway star for example wears business attire  when formal wear seems more appropriate to me

[ZephyrZodiac]

I think the whole acting career has peculiar clothes choices, myself.  After all, most actors don't wear uniforms (except when playing a part on stage!) and I'm sure that icons wouldn't meet their fans wearing a tatty tracksuit!
