Pescado’s clothing tool and Christianlov’s clothing rack. You don’t want your townies to all look like clowns (unless of course that’s the theme you’re going for).ģ. Lastly, you’d better hope that you sim is a good enough stylist when giving a makeover. You can also only change one category of clothing at a time with the suggest outfit interaction, and it’s easy to forget what you’ve already changed. If you do, then the change clothes or appearance dialogue box won’t come up, and the customer will leave, having paid for a new look, but without you having the option to give it to them. If you have managed to snag a customer, and they haven’t rejected your offer, you do have to be careful not to select another playable sim. There are also some npcs that won’t turn up to shop, so this isn’t a complete method for changing everyone’s clothes and hair. Komei might find it the most fantastic shop on Simearth and come in twice a day, every day, but Jan might decide she has no use of new clothes and so never turns up. There is also no guarantee who is going to pop into your boutique. It’s also my least favourite, since there are many disadvantages of using it.įor a start it’s one of the slowest methods you can use, since each interaction takes a fair amount of time. It’s probably one of the safest ways of changing the appearance of sims you can’t control as it’s built into the very game mechanic. If you have a sim buy a community lot and add a clothing rack and stylist’s chair, then you can make over your townies there by using the “suggest outfit” and “offer makeover” interactions. If anyone does know, please let me know so I can link. I don’t know where his hacks are any more, and so I’ve uploaded it myself for convenience. It’s Dizzy’s npc wear casual clothing hack. It only affects the npcs, and is very outdated (and it doesn’t cover all the npcs in the expansion packs it does support), but it is handy for replacing the base game npcs quickly and with little fuss.įor the rest of the methods I’m going to describe, you need this hack in your game. There is also the NPC Replacer from SimWardrobe (found under Sims 2 > Programmes). This is how I was able to replace my male tour guides’ outfits with three very different outfits on different meshes, despite the fact that the original Maxis outfits are all on the same mesh, but different colours. The big advantage of using this tutorial as opposed to her other, slightly simpler one, is that by using this method, you can replace clothes without messing up other clothes that use the same mesh. It looks complicated at first, but once you’ve been through it a couple of times, everything soon falls into place. My favourite tutorial is this one by Marja.
#THE SIMS 2 CREATE A SIM BACKGROUND PC#
You can of course make your own defaults if you play on a pc (I’ve not seen a tutorial that works for Macs I’m afraid). feydecay is doing her best to change this for the Victorian era with her on-going default project, and I recommend checking out her dreamwidth to see what she’s done so far. Then there is also the fact that there aren’t that many 19th century defaults out there (the late Georgian and Regency period is especially under represented). It changes the clothing or hair across your entire game, so if you play modern neighbourhoods alongside your period one, you have to remember to remove them before playing the modern hood. There are several disadvantages to using this method. They are also the only way to change the clothing of certain object npcs such as the local chefs, tour guides and food judges. Default replacements change the Maxis clothing and hair to something else, and, if the package is already made, just need to be dropped into your downloads folder. This is probably the simplest method if you can find them. Luckily today there are several simple (if time consuming) methods you can use to make sure that Sandy and Melisa’s love of fiery leg-wear doesn’t blight your period neighbourhood.ġ. When I started playing Regalton five years ago, it was something I just had to grit my teeth about and the readers of my story knew that I couldn’t do much about the Goopster turning up on a community lot in his lovely plaid shorts. Perfectly fine for the 1980s, not so much for the 1880s. The sims you have created look like they have stepped out of the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, but there in the background are your townies, wandering around in all their mini-skirted, midriff-baring glory. It’s a problem that plagues all themed neighbourhoods.
