Everything Sims 2

Sims will no longer be shocked at seeing other Sims not wearing clothes/naked.

In an unmodded game, clothing racks despite being labeled as “cheap” or “expensive” sell the same priced clothes. These racks have cheap, standard, and expensive versions and are not only able to buy off of a mannequin but also are setup to buy for maternity Sims and children. (Before an adult had to buy children’s clothes) The prices in the catalog are as follows: 1000 for the cheap racks, 2000 for standard, and 3000 for expensive. The children float when paying for the items in an unowned shop, but that is a cash register issue, not a rack issue.

A very niche thing, but if you ever use the clothing tool, you might have been irritated by the fact that it greys out the currently worn outfit. So if your sim is in everyday, and you changed their everyday, it forces you to switch to something else first and then back to everyday. There’s really no need for that, the game can handle it just fine if you switch to the same one.

If you are unfamiliar with this tool, it is pretty handy but there are some quirks. This is what the Directors Cut manual has to say.

It’s a clothing tool. Lets you buy new clothes for your sims in all categories with a single command (and inflated price premium!), and snarf career and special-event (wedding, graduation, etc.) outfits worn by your sims for use in the “Plan Outfit” dresser, plan all of your outfits at one click (after aging!), as well as gives you one last shot to plan your outfits before returning home from college (if global override hook included in zip is installed) so that your sims do not return to the family bin looking like hobos!

Clothing racks from AL can be placed in the inventory, like other closets.

Fixed a bug where the Great! A member of the household has brought home some new clothes… notification was displayed even if the Sim had a clothing rack from AL.

Similar to Closet Plugin but this is a prior version.

A mod that disables the want to buy new clothes

Midge The Tree wrote a tutorial on how to disable wants and provided two that they made: Disable See ghost” Wants and Fears and Disable “Buy New Clothes” Want

A global mod that controls which outfit the Sim puts on when they get out of the shower/bath, instead of it always being the Sims everyday outfit. Now when your Sim has finished their shower/bath they will get dressed into an appropriate outfit based on how close they are to starting any of the following ‘tasks’:-
Going to Work: Some jobs have special uniforms, and some the Sim goes wearing their Everyday outfit. Bear this mind if you see your Sim change into Everyday clothes when you are expecting Work clothes. The easy way to tell is if your Sim owns a Dresser; there will be a separate menu option “Dress for Work” if this Sim has a special outfit to wear to work.
Go to School: Private School has a uniform, but for Public School your Sim goes wearing their Everyday outfit. Bear this mind if you see your Sim change into Everyday clothes when you are expecting School clothes.
Go to Bed: Bedtime is calculated based off School Start time for Children and Teens and off Work Start Time for Adults and Elders. This means that bedtime moves for Adults and Elders.

If the time is two hours prior to one of these ‘tasks’ and not yet half way through the time spent doing the ‘task’ then they will change into the appropriate clothing for that ‘task’ as they finish their Shower/Bath. Otherwise they will change into everyday clothes. Please note that your Sim only changes clothes if they take a shower or a bath – it’s not going to direct them to change just because it’s two hours before Work/School/Bedtime.

In the game, you change a toddler’s diaper or bathe a toddler, they will be redressed in whatever they were previously wearing prior to that action. This mod will alter that clothing change to be time based. If it is after 7am the toddler will be dressed in everyday clothes. If it is before 7am or after 8pm the toddler will be dressed in PJs. Although the idea was spawned from the “Dress me correctly” Mod, this package is completely separate and independent from that Mod. You do not require one to use the other, but equally you can have both without problems. This allows you to mix and match this Mod with your favourite adult dressing mods.

A mod that means Sims will no longer change into or out of Outerwear as they go through a door. There are three versions of this mod, to cover various possible preferences on behavior.
Version A: This version means that no-one, controllable Sims or visitors, ever change clothes when they walk through the door. This does have the side effect that visitors and walk-bys that you invite in, stay in their outerwear if they arrived wearing it (i.e. because it is cold outside). This visitor behavior may seem a bit odd but at least there is no more clothes changing going on at the door.
Version B: This version means that no controllable Sims ever change clothes when they walk through the door. Visitors that arrive wearing outerwear (i.e. because it is cold outside) will change clothes however. This keeps you in full control of your Sims, and allows visitors to do an appropriate thing since they are not controlled by you.
Version C: This version means that no-one, controllable Sims or visitors, ever change clothes when they walk through the door. It also changes visitors and walk-bys so that they do not wear outerwear even if it is cold outside. They may look a little cold as they wander past but at least there is no more clothes changing going on at the door and your visitors won’t be sitting there wearing a coat for the duration of their visit.

This hack will skip the spinning animations.

It’s a clothing tool. Lets you buy new clothes for your sims in all categories
with a single command (and inflated price premium!), and snarf career and
special-event (wedding, graduation, etc.) outfits worn by your sims for use in
the “Plan Outfit” dresser, plan all of your outfits at one click(after aging!),
as well as gives you one last shot to plan your outfits before returning home
from college (if global override hook included in zip is installed) so that
your sims do not return to the family bin looking like hobos! Now includes
ZOMGPETZ!!!111oneoneone and BV shrapnel.

Gets rid of the inability to plan an outfit unless you have two valid outfits.
You will now be able to use the “plan outfit” for that category if you own
only one uniform in that category, not that you’ll really have very many
choices, unless you’re changing from the default duds you were given at age
transition, to something you just bought. But at least you won’t have to buy
two of them.

In The Sims 2: Apartment Life, a lot of the “new” outfits weren’t actually new.
👉 They were age conversions of outfits from earlier packs (especially FreeTime) or reused outfits from other packs (Nightlife, Teen Style Stuff, etc.).

Basically, EA took existing clothes → converted them to other ages → re-released them as “new content”
😒 Why that’s a problem (in-game). Even though those clothes already existed, the game treats them as if they belong to Apartment Life.

🧠 What Phaenoh’s mod actually does. The name “Credit Where It’s Due” is literal. 👉 The mod reassigns each outfit to the expansion it originally came from. Fixes their internal flags so they match their “parent” outfit. So instead of “Apartment Life outfit” you get “FreeTime outfit (correctly labeled)”. “Nightlife outfit (correctly labeled)”.

🔧 Extra technical fix (important) Phaenoh also links the converted outfits back to their original texture files.
This means
📉 Smaller file sizes
📁 Less duplicate data
🧼 Cleaner game organization

⚠️ Important caveat (this matters)
Even though the mod relabels the outfits they still require Apartment Life to exist

Phaenoh’s Great Clothing Migration V2 is basically a massive “clean-up and reorganization” mod for The Sims 2 clothing catalog. It doesn’t add new clothes—it fixes how the existing ones are sorted so they actually make sense.

👕 The core problem it fixes
Out of the box, The Sims 2 has a ton of badly categorized clothing.
Winter coats showing up in Everyday, Pajamas appearing in Everyday or Formal, Athletic gear mixed into regular outfits, and Duplicate outfits across multiple categories. It gets worse as you add expansions—your catalog becomes a cluttered mess.

🧥 Example changes
✔ Everyday → Athletic: Tracksuits, Jerseys and Workout Clothes
✔ Everyday → Outerwear: Coats, Jackets and Winter Gear
✔ Everyday → Formal only: Fancy dresses and Wedding Outfits
✔ Age/category fixes: Some outfits become available to more ages or restricted to the appropriate life stage.

A system of objects that tell your Sims to change outfits. Usually this will be as they come in through a door. At the moment this set comprises one vase with a menu that allows you to set the outfit to change into, and a global patch that makes all normal doors change your Sim as they walk through. Place in room or rooms that you wish your Sims to change before entering. Use the menu to choose which outfit Sims should change into and whether NPCs should also change.

This is an optional global patch which will make most normal (non-hacked) doors into outfit changing doors.  Does not work reliably on diagonal doors.

This is a special door that can both control who is allowed through it and make Sims automatically change their clothes when they pass through it.

👗 Clothes Change System
The clothes-changing portion works with Simlogical’s Clothes Change Controller mod. You place the controller—a decorative vase—in the room that you want Sims to change clothes before entering. Using the vase’s menu, you choose what type of outfit Sims should put on and whether NPCs should also be affected. When a Sim passes through the special door into that area, the system tells them to change into the selected outfit.
🔐 Security/Apartment System
The same door can serve as the special doorway used by Simlogical’s security system to restrict access.
The important reason this particular door exists is that it’s a non-global alternative. Simlogical also provides an optional global patch that modifies most ordinary Maxis doors so they can participate in the clothes-changing system. If you don’t want to install a global modification affecting normal doors, you can use this special Clothes Change and Security Door instead

Each side is set separately. For each side you can set how much money, if any, your current family gets when visitors go through the door in that direction, and what, if anything, they should change into. The nude option is not included in this version, but is available from the adult downloads section at Mod The Sims 2. Although both versions have the same GUID, the adult version has an A at the end of the filename so if you are swapping between the versions you will need to remove the unwanted file.

This will enable you to change the active sim’s clothes by clicking on them and selecting the outfit you want then to change into from the Change Into Pie Menu.

Sims will no longer get naked to streak but will still perform the streak animations. Will streak in what they are currently wearing.

This mod prevents sims from changing clothes before sleeping, working out, & swimming.

This hack stops all sims from getting all of the change clothes wants.
