- Although my SS is a respectable old lady, she does dress for comfort during the day. God only knows she needs to be able to run around, playing tag and catch with all the kids in her charge :p

I have to say other as it really depends on the sim, the story, their personalities. Most are probably comfy, but some are more gothic or fantasy with my supernatural sims. ::::waves and hugs:::: @Emily4331- I might as well share some pictures!
Usually I seem to go for brown hair and the colour pink or purple appears quite often :smile:

Personality is a very big factor (as others have mentioned), but I also like to account for things like my Sims' physique (or ideal physique) and their hobbies and interests. I also like to choose certain colours for my Sims to wear that fit their personality.
To illustrate, I've roped in David (left) and Martin. Apologies for the poor quality pic, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing taken with my phone camera. But Martin's face is too good not to share, and I think it fits his personality too :D

Before I continue I should probably also clarify that I spend the most time on my Sims' Everyday outfits. With everything else, my philosophy is just "whatever looks good will do" :tongue:
David is outgoing and sociable, yet also fiercely protective of his loved ones. His hot temper is kept under wraps most of the time due to his friendly nature, but it rears its ugly head whenever his friends or family are threatened. David also tends to be quite impulsive and believes in "act first, think later" - a trait reinforced by his years of experience as the town lifeguard. His job is very physical (as one might expect), and he also works out a lot in his spare time (he's at the beach four times a week so he needs to keep that body in check :tongue:)
With this in mind, he lends himself quite well to dark colours, particularly maroon and dark grey/black. The colour red, of which maroon is a darker variant, symbolises action and energy making it a good fit for his impulsiveness and his active lifestyle. Red is also a colour of strength and courage, and thus it's a fairly common colour for superheroes - great fit for his job as a lifeguard :tongue:
Why maroon and not bright red? I thought it would better convey his strength and his temper, specifically the intensity with which he protects his loved ones.
Clothes-wise, what better way to show off those toned arms than a sleeveless hoodie? Here's David's main everyday outfit:

Martin is not the most charismatic of Sims, and has some difficulty making friends. But to the people who take time to get to know him, he proves to be bubbly and full of energy (which is why I just had to share that first picture XD). Creative and spontaneous, he's always bursting with new ideas, be they for his next painting, his next book, or even his next dance routine (he secretly loves to dance, but is shy about showing it to others). And like David, he believes in acting on his ideas straight away. Deeply passionate about his hobbies, he will run himself into the ground if needed to achieve perfection.
He lends himself well to bright colours like red, orange, and white. Red to symbolise his spontaneity and passion for his craft, orange to represent his creativity, cheeriness, and enthusiasm, and white to represent his view of the world as a huge canvas for his ideas, as well as his constant pursuit of perfection. Here's Martin's main everyday outfit:

Now I'll try to illustrate what I mean by "my Sims' own unique styles". Here are the boys with outfits swapped:

David, you are definitely not a skinny jeans person! I also think the bright colours of the top clash with his darker hair and skin.

Yeah, uh... Martin's arms don't do justice to that sleeveless hoodie. The colours don't quite match his personality either.
Well, this has been fun. I think I have too much time on my hands right now :tongue: - Emily43318 years agoSeasoned Ace@bekkasan Hellloooooo! :heart:
@TinySpaceFox They are both super handsome! Love the detailed write up. - Jessa_Dakkar8 years agoRising AceAll of the above!
- PalmArrow8 years agoSeasoned AceI voted for Comfy, because that's the look that describes most of my sims, but I've also used Tropical, Steampunk, Retro and Hippie.
Oh, and I did use Hipster once, for an afternoon in an Art Cafe:Spoiler
