Make sure it's saved somewhere in the downloads folder.

I start it with a _ so that it's a little more likely to load before other files in case of conflicts, I make sure DEFAULT is capitalised because it's really important, and including the name of the outfit you're replacing is just common sense)in your Sims 2 downloads folder. Save it something appropriate (I name my files _MoogleSims_DEFAULT-nameoftheoutfityou'r ereplacing. Now, save your file! Clicking save doesn't work usually, you have to go to save-as. SimPe is annoying and usually throws them into two different folders by type, make sure you're adding the Property Sets AND the 3DIDRs. Right click in the white blank space under all the columns (this area is called 'Resource List') and click 'add'. Or click the little blank white page in the toolbar. There are three of them (I'm going to refer to them as colours. Click Find.Īs you can see, there are adult versions of this outfit. Usually it's best to leave the age off (the a/ya/e that goes before the 'mbody' part of the name, just incase there's a young adult AND adult version of something. Then in the ' Match:' box paste the name of the outfit you're going to be replacing. Make sure where it says ' Find:' the dropdown box is on ' PropertySet Search' and ' Type:' should be on ' Contains '.

I recommend using the amazing Sims 2 Default Database to find the outfit you want to replace.įor this tutorial I'm going to be using ' ymbodydoubletshirtsweats' because the database says it hasn't been replaced with anything yet, and because it's a young adult only outfit with horrible sandals and we're going to be changing all of those things. Step One - Pick something you want to replace. (There's really no reason to use the other method that I can think of.) Or, you know, you just want to make a default replacement. Instead of using the exact same mesh ten times, you could use the same dress, with a bunch of shoe options?) there are at least ten different colours of 'dresslongtrumpet'. Has a lot of original colours and you want to use different meshes to give variety (e.g. Look like outerwear and you want them enabled for outerwear? Or formal? Or athletic? etc? replace ONLY the blazer and pleated skirt outfit for children WITHOUT changing the private school mesh? Or replace the two medival gowns without replacing the third Vampire one?) Only replace the exact outfit you want to replace (e.g. Replace a single-group outfit with a multi-group outfit? Allows you to be able to make recolours of a defaulted outfit that you can upload and anyone can use them without having the same defaults as you? Replace an outfit with heels with an outfit with flats and want correct shoe sounds? Are enabled for young adult AND adults if they aren't already? Allow you to have recolours of the original Maxis mesh even though you've replaced that outfit in the catalogue?
