I'm creating this post to share most of the custom content I created for my Sims in the TS2. It will be updated with pictures of the clothes and links to media fire downloads if anyone is interested. These are my own work, the first three I am in process of sharing are Maxis meshes retextured into something different. What I will be sharing has more of a 60's flair to the styles, if you like themed clothes. Or let's just call them
retro.
Someone asked me to share some Dark Shadows Sims I had created, too, so I may upload those, if possible with all their cc where possible and with permissions with those custom hairstyles etc. Or links where to find hair meshes.
I'll be back this week to share how the clothes look on the Sims (not necessarily DS clothes) but retro clothes. And the links. Hope you guys find something you like. I had a lot of fun learning how to create clothes for TS2, and some are nice in my opinion, though they may not be to everyone's taste since they are retro clothing and textures. But you might have a Sim who could use them, lol. I never did share anything like this before, since I'm actually very shy in real life (Lol, yes, it is true) and shy about sharing my own work. (Yes, shy, it's taken me fifteen years to decide to share anything, lol).
Happy Simming!
ETA: Check back I may have something you like. I have a lot to upload over time and make room for more.
ETA: If meshes aren't included I will note it. Also, most if not all are for YA and Adult Females. Until I post child, adult male or elderly though not many of those turned out very well unless you want some grunge and raggedy clothes. A few built that way on purpose. Not everyone has the Collins' money.

It's a large file 7.MB and you don't need it! sorry about that, it is in some of the download links and it will be listed unknown, but pretty sure it was a hair recolor file and not necessary for you. My bad.

Vickie's Brown Checked 2 piece outfit, install the top or skirt or both. This skirt includes the belt not pictured belowed.

One of my Sims will be wearing this in a picutre below to show my top, the skirt mesh is not mine, I have retextured it. This top comes in about three different styles I created and nice spring blouses, for the times, and one in black, which is sort of nice, too. Not perfect modder but hey, my Sims needed some clothes their characters would have worn. Install both the top and skirt or one or the other using Sims2PKClean Installer.

I think you will like this blouse, altered Maxis mesh (it won't hurt the original) it's the same as the purple on right above this link however, it's dull pink roses on soft white, lovely pattern. (for the sixties). Goes with jeans or a skirt covering belly button. Enjoy if you like it. If not, no worries.

1800's jacket, high texture coat, raggedy lapels. This is a Maxis mesh, seen on Quentin (my Sim) on page 2. I didn't retexture Maxis textures of pants and shoes just the upper torso for the jacket. This was an experiment I did as on of the first things I wanted to try for a story I was doing. It didn't turn out too bad, and after all the coat is centuries old and the raggedy lapels give it a worn look. I didn't expect to share it, but here it is if you want a Sim to wear it.

And Maggie Evans wears another Maxis mesh I retextured because I saw that dress on the net, and though the hem was wider and more flared I had to try to see if I could do it. Those links will be up later. ETA: Here you go.

ETA: Also, K8 🐸🐸🐸🐸 skirt mesh also requires a link but will be included in uploads as we could use the mesh with our textures if I remember correctly as along as we give them credit for their mesh work (thank you! always) Here is their link to body mesh and particular skirt mesh http://www.parsimonious.org/fashion2/pages/meshes_2.html Those skirts are what Carolyn is wearing with the layerd top below. Link to download shortly.
ETA: Two Piece outfit I just described from an altered Maxis mesh top and xmsims skirt mesh (will be included in downloads, as I have link provided here). Mix and Match time! Download from my link the outfit (2 piece Vickie is wearing) Or from above if you missed something, I will try to keep all links in the 2nd post if possible.

Here it is in the rose and purple, the pale skirts will be included in a download.
I have a lot more to upload, however, I'm not sure they are worth sharing. Some of my earlier work. They probably aren't as nice (pains taking) as the tulip shirt I created or the rose blouse etc. But more raggedy for my poorer Sims. Stay tuned, I might have some gowns (just because these Sims live in a conservative world and sometimes go back and forth into previous centuries) that you may want to throw onto a Sim. I left the better mini skirts and skimmy outfits they wore to other creators. I needed more conservative clothing so I had to create them. lol THough Kathyrn Scott (Maggie)started wearing a lot of Junior Miss (shorter outfits and skirts) late in the series to sell the brand. But there was already all that out there and I didn't need to create any of that. Remember they had to dress for dinner. And males always wore a suit, if they lived at Collinwood.
Next (it's the 60's yes, it's ugly, lol ) she wears this 2 pc outfit Maxis retextured top and one of the skirts I mentioned above with my own textures. Julia is a staunch dresser and had a very 60's flair to her taste.
Link later
Grayson Hall was my favorite actress on the series so I had to give her an old, raggedy, robe, lol, very retro. It's Maxis robe mesh retextured.
Links above on 1st page
Carolyn shows off her Christmas jacket. (Maxis mesh retextured) Links above will be posted later.
More pictures and links later this week, I will try to get to them. Thank you!
ETA: Thought I uploaded the link for this outfit, but I see it's for a different outfit. I'll add it as soon as I can. This top and bottom is lace textures (mine) it's the Maxis mesh top same as tulip shirt above and Megamoo skirt mesh (included). The skirt has a bumpmap that may not play nice with all other tops in game or custom tops by all creators. If it ( the skirt) turns your Sim dark while in CAS just switch the bottom to something else if you want your Sim to wear the top. But both of these pieces will work together. I should remove any Maxis bumpmaps (not allowed on other creators' meshes) so this doesn't happen as some of Maxis sweaters have an annoying bumpmap that may cause this too, when you retexture them. Anyway, this is a two piece outfit and works very well together (textures are mine).

This outfit is almost the same as the brown checked outfit, but not. I wanted you to see how hard I worked on the blouse and the check lines, not perfect but tried really hard a few years ago. Link for this coming tomorrow. (More to upload)
Update link here and above.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/imds3rd4cwaw4bo/Checks_In_Pinkish_Purple.rar/file
The reason I mention why this one was so hard are some facts about meshes. Sims body frames aren't perfect. When you are looking at a flat mesh and you can even measure exactly in the center of say a top, and draw a line or cover it with some material it's not the center.
Many people don't know this. So, you see you have the buttons etc. perfectly in the center, right, great, but then you refresh the Sim in BS and oh no, that's not the center at all! lol It may be off a few inches.
This one gave me some trouble. But finally got the buttons centered as much as I could.
Also, when you draw vertical lines on a Sim mesh, as you go down the body they get wider. On all meshes. No matter who created it, Maxis or creators. It's perfect in the picture of the flat matbase. But refresh the Sim and oh no, it's way too wide. This is why many creators (like me or others) stay away from patterns or vertical lines.
Here's another secret about how hard it is sometimes to work with meshes. The waist in the front is not in the same place as in the back. I would dare say most players don't know this. So, when you critque someone's work and the top's hem of a shirt etc. seems a little bit higher or lower in the back or front, it's because of this fact. It takes time and time and time to line those up and then it may not want to line up at all. Just thought I would share that though making clothes of some styles is easy, at other times it's a pain in the neck. Happy Simming!
ETA: For anyone who has read any of this thread and posts at all the word plum keeps popping up. Trust me I'm not using bad langauge. The initials for bodyshop is censored. And I saw where the initials for young adult and adult was also censored but may reappear or disappear and become plum. Good grief Vanilla forums. I have hand problems all the time, and you make me spell out words instead of using initials most TS2 players understand that stands for bodyshop..good grief...rant over. lol
This is a 2 pc outfit Angelque is wearing. LianaSims 078 mesh and XMS_001skirt. My textures. Link above.
And this is for top only. This is my textures on Maxis mesh. The skirt is one of the meshes I used over and over already noted in a very nice blue pattern I textured. I have posted the wrong pic for the Vickie Blue sheer top I linked above will correct it later as trouble with tinypics loading and stalling out.
ETA: Here is the correct picture for the Vickie_Blue_Sheer sleeve top. Sorry about the confusion. Link above in 2nd post
