got a few aspects of some of these in my game already, but as usual, you wind up taking it a step beyond and making everything look amazing
also, good seeing blu make an appearance here and looks like you've darkened moon's hair since i snagged her (and her girlfriend) from the gallery. it's also nice seeing 'pastel punk' camilla more. she's become one of my favorite townies ever since i did a downloading spree from you. blends right in with two of my three townie djs in both looks and style so i put them in a club together
@kalaksed These Sims are some of my favourites and it is really nice to read that you appreciate them. I know there are people who don't care about townies, but I like to take my Sims out and it bothers me when everyone around them is wearing mismatched outfits and looks like they have no personality or story.
Don't get me started on Camilla, I still can't believe she was a game-generated townie I almost deleted. She is so much fun to see around town.
Moon changed hair colours many times throughout the years, so cool that you noticed! Technically she is one of my oldest Sims (but I play with aging off a lot). She was originally part of a household with two males and was supposed to end up with one of them but she wasn't having any of that and fell in love with Julia.
Thank you for the kind comments!
Where has this thread been all my life? I love your style and these outfits are cute and classy, thank you for this. I'm inspired by you
Do you think you could make some outfits for kids, teens, and elders? I have the hardest time dressing teens and elders, since most of the clothes are for young adults and either make the teens look older or look inappropriate on an elderly. I try to make my teens look distinct from YAs with their clothes, and Ive tried to make my elders dress slightly old-fashioned with some classy, modern accents, but it's most difficult to dress them.
@mika Thank you for your kind words! I think it's great that my posts are useful to you!
You are not alone with these issues creating distinctive outfits for life stages other than adults. And I agree that children, teens and elders especially have less or less appropriate content. I will look into it in the next few days and tag you in the post if I come up with something.
So, I tried to come up with some nice outfits for elderly Sims. For older Sims there are some limitations, for example no skinny jeans or high heels and I used muted colors, because I find that more realistic. If you guys even find one outfit here you like and have not tried before, I consider the time well spent.
Are Teens in TS4 distinguishable from Young Adults? I think so. I usually recognize them by their slender build and smaller heads. But it can be hard to dress them differently, because they share all the CAS assets with YA-E. I tried to make some outfits that are more suited for Teens than Adults and hope that you will like some of these for your Sims or fashion-challenged Townies.
@mika I am glad that you found something you like! It was fun and I surprised myself while making these, because apparently I am still not over those space leggings from the base game.
@ShadyLady89 Thank for your kind comment! I will always be making new outfits anyway (to fight off the game-generated weirdness) and as long as a few people find it useful, I am more than happy to update this thread.
For this Throwback Thursday I wanted to look back at the Caribbean update, which added so many great items to the game, in CAS and also in BB. Anyway, here are some outfits I enjoy in my game, hope you'll find something you like!
been quiet of late, but still coming back here to totally not steal various ideas from you. the elders and teens ones were actually quite helpful, well, everything has been, but especially those two
and on a similar vein, curious about some of your takes on hot- and cold-weather outfits. especially the latter, as i sometimes wind up struggling with new looks there. (plus, a fair few of the earlier outfits you've posted make great hot-weather stuff. i've had difficulty not giving 3/4 of my sims gladiator sandals in that category thanks to you)
@kalaksed Cold weather outfits are definitely tough. What I like to do with my Sims, is make one outfit for outside (with gloves, hat etc) and 2-3 for inside. My Sims just spend more time inside in winter and I don't like them wearing winter coats inside.
I'll post something within the next few days and hopefully something will be of use to you. I can also do something for hot weather, of course.
And I am glad to read that you like the outfits with the gladiator sandals! I still enjoy them as well, they just make some outfits come together in a way that no other sandal could.
Seasons brought a lot of great things to the game and I was a fan of the new clothing categories that came with the update. But what I really dislike is how the winter hats that came with Seasons sit on the Sims' heads. It just does not look right and I cannot use them for my Sims. What I do instead to have more options, is that I unlock the beret that came with City Living (Arts Critc career); so that is the beret in the pictures below.
You can either use a cheat to unlock it or keep a Sims saved to your library who is an Art Critic and add this Sim to your household while creating a Sim. That's what I do. I just delete that Sim before I save the household and as long as you do not remove the beret, it works. And I also have the great recolors done by Saurus Sims in my game, but we are not using any of those in this thread.
funny enough, i've had a few outfits that look pretty similar to some of those, and i really love using the leggings on the upper right with either cold weather or athletic looks, if i can build a look around them. love the pattern options on them
also see two of the strangerville tops there, and they've wound up getting a lot of use with my strangerville and oasis springs sims after that pack's introduction. though i never even considered pairing that one jacket with a skirt... that pair you have looks close enough to an option i've been griping about lacking for a while that i might need to start using it. (the option is basically 'sundress + leather jacket'. though any dress with a leather jacket would be nice. or the ability to layer sweaters/jackets over dresses/tops in general)
been sort of shying away from the beret for a while, since i used it way, way too often as soon as figured out where it was from back when city living came out, but it really does work nicely for winter-wear, same with the other hat you've got there. they are my two most used ones, though i do occasionally manage to squeeze hats from seasons into different looks. as you mentioned, they usually look terrible, but every once in a while they work alright for individual sims
also, the yellow version of the beret there makes me think of the beret used in this music video, and makes me wish we had pattern options akin to the one in the video. (oh, and look at that. she's also wearing a jacket + dress in some scenes...)
double also, while i also tend to do the 'wear out and about' and 'wear inside the house' for cold weather outfits, i do also try to dress for the neighborhood/city/world. like oasis springs or strangerville sims typically won't be nearly as bundled up as those that live in windenburg or brindleton bay
@kalaksed I am not surprised that you have similar outfits in your game, there is a limited number of items to work with for that category, even when you're flexible with the intepretation of "cold weather". Years ago I posted a picture of male outfits in a CAS inspiration thread. The only comment I got was about one of the outfits, something like "I already use this outfit in my game, but I never thought of adding that hat to it." I still considered the time well spent. And I love those leggings that came with JA; one of those items where exploring the swatches is so worthwhile. And I definitely also wish for more hats and color options.
@mika That outfit is my favourite actually. A simple dress, the cardigan even a bit frumpy looking perhaps, but the outfit works because the cute hat, bohemian bracelets and little leather boots just tie it together. I am sure it looks adorable IRL.
i agree, that is a nice outfit (the one mika mentioned). the only thing i've managed to do with the dress for it is use it as nightwear for a few sims because it always looked weird to me when i tried to use it for any other role. but, for some reason, i never considered adding leggings to it...
I've always loved your styles from the first time I saw you posting them, and have inspired me greatly to branch out my CAS fashion styles! Thanks for making this thread, so I can branch out even greater! Your female styles really help me out since I'm not great at that yet, but if you got trouble with male styles, hit me up! You've already seen some of my CAS work in my showcase thread I'm sure!
I love all your outfits. They are definitely inspiring me. I am very much a CC player, but I'm in my vanilla folder and I was just telling my friend, "I'm surprised. There is quite a bit of options for clothes with EA now days". I'll definitely have to use more EA clothes.
This is just some stuff I threw together taking a first glance at today's update in CAS. And yes, polka dot sweater + pink skirt + accessories = pure 80s awesomeness.
So, obviously I have already used the CAS items from Get Famous throughout this thread, but I wanted to do a spread focussing just on GF nonetheless to maybe find some fun new combinations. Hope you'll find something you like!
