This is just what I needed! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The recolors are excellent, and I love how you've turned this fugly T-shirt in to a sexy one!
Blood&Tears is also very pretty, and will come in useful! Thank you again!

What a wonderful idea. I might actually use those now, and the townies who already wear them will finally look nice. Thank you!

I don't use most of those tops, but there is one maybe two that I do deliberately use (though for the sims that use them it would be helpful if they where a little longer, because those sims want less skin showing, but that's an entirely different story). The question is, can you chose individual files? I would like to download the default ones and take out the files for the one or two that I acutally use and then download the nondefault ones so I can get the one or two that replace the ones I use as nondefault. Is this possible? Or do I have to chose one or the other?

If it comes down to to a choice of one or the other I'll probably go ahead and get them as default, but I'd prefer to keep the ones I use . . . hmm. Wonder if I can get get my sister make a nondefault version of the maxis ones with longer tops to cover the bellies. I'm not sure if she knows how to do that or not, but she knows more than I do.

Which Maxis ones do you use? I could make a different version of the defaults for you, with a few less, just tell me which Maxis ones you would like to keep. Then you could download the non-defaults and keep just the missing ones.

For longer tees, when I know which ones you want, I might try to come up with something.

Hey there fakepeeps! Love your clothes for kids sims.




Glad that you like this set. I'm finishing a bunch of jeans that'll go with them too.

Awww no teen defaults? (I think teens have these shirts; if not, my bad!) Anyways, I love these! The Blood & Tears shirt isn't a default, is it? Anyways, thank you!

Very nice--a complete change in look from Maxis. Much more flattering, and they work with a variety of fashion possibilities--thanks!

I really like the neckline but I can't stand short tops. Any chance you'd make a longer/untuckable version?

The defaults are already usable by teens too! (I just found that out by looking in my Bodyshop)

The Blood & Tears is hiding behind the red V-neck in the Default versions.

Untuckables? Now that's something I never did. I'll take a look at the shirt again to see where it ends at the bottom on the mesh as it is, and see if it can be made into untuckables without changing the mesh. Else I guess I could make a longer "tucked" version at least.

billielith There are two existing defaults that may be of use to you.
HP has made a longer version of the Maxis tees, and I have a fully untucked version.
If you want to make longer tees with your new neckline, you could start from one of those versions
and save yourself some time.
I do like the neckline, but prefer longer tees myself.

Thanks for the suggestion and help.

Apparently with the jeans/pants I had chosen, an alteration of the mesh would be necessary for untucked ones, else it doesn't look good. I can make longer "tucked" ones though.

Alteration of which mesh, shirt or pants? The tee mesh is suitable for untuckable recolors, if I recall, and if not, then my default mesh is.

If it's the pants mesh, then just match the UV at the waist to the UV of an untuckable shirt. My "UV data merge" MilkShape plugin does this. You'll also need to match the normals at the waist, of course. Wes_h "normal data merge" plugin for that.

When you release those pants, it would be sweet if they worked right with untuckable shirts. They look quite nice in your pics.

I think it is both. The waist doesn't work together indeed, for the pants it is a bit too thick on the sim compared to the shirt, and the shirts become weird on the sides past the pants line. Might be due to the pants mesh, not sure.

Match the UV, match the normals, wish I knew what you mean, lol sorry. I never worked with meshes at all.

Wish I could make them untucked-friendly too, I didn't see many ripped jeans around. I hope I'll have the freetime to learn to mesh.

Might be easier to stick my pants textures on already-untuckable-friendly pants? I dunno.

A bit too floozie for my tastes, though if it didn't show so much belly- or show belly and less collar. Either way. I agree with harlequin eyes on this.

I'll upload a longer version soon hiding the evil belly. For "show belly and less collar", the Maxis ones already do that.

The shirts look a lot nicer, but I'll wait for the longer versions, because I'm tired of belly showing Maxis (or otherwise) shirts. XD
