Netz-à-porter – outfits ready to wear for your sims (no CC required)

In my opinion CAS is where The Sims 4 has made the biggest leap forward compared to the previous iterations. I have alot of fun making outfits and this is the place where I will post most of them from now on. Mainly because I always feel a bit awkward flooding threads with my CAS posts, when most people are interested in gameplay, but also because feedback has shown that there are a few forum members who appreciate a bit of inspiration. I use the pictures myself when I want to make a quick (townie!) makeover, so I think this is probably where this thread can come in useful for others.

Custom Content
We as a community know that we are blessed with some of the most creative and talented creators of custom content and mods in the world of video games. While I use a moderate amount of Maxis Match CC in my game, I will avoid CC in this thread for the most part with some exceptions:
- Poses: Unfortunately this is something CAS does not provide and the animations can become repetitive. Most of them are made by Helgatisha, Flower Chamber and Remaron. I do not make poses myself
- Skin replacement: I have one default skin replacement, which is Smootish II by Luumia. I do not use any other overlays etc

I will not be doing a lot of picture editing, as I would like to spend most of my time in CAS. The thread’s purpose is to help with outfits, perhaps an extension of the ‚Styled Looks‘ section in CAS, if you will. Also, I will be doing throwbacks to older packs and posts focussing on outfit categories.

I hope you'll find something you like!

@kalaksed I always appreciate your feedback! This thread will be a good outlet for me and also everything is in one place in case of a townie fashion emergency. :D

Oh thank you for doing this. I just had a sim purchase a dress shop for a story I'm playing out .. and I need all the inspiration I can get :). I don't plan on running the shop .. just having it accessible for my sims to shop at.

Believe it not I came to the forums just now and looked you up to try to find screenshots and here is this thread.
Would you consider posting some of your old goodies here?

@Hermitgirl Thank you for stopping by! I hope this thread will help you out. As a matter of fact, I was planning to post some "oldies" later today #TBT.

For Throwback Thursday I want to look at the Bowling Night Stuff pack. I have very fond memories of when the pack dropped. I acted like a madwoman on the forum and posted way too many pictures. Also, I used the word 'swatches' in every other sentence. Some people were certainly annoyed. But I am sure they forgot about that shortly after and I can still remember the good time I had. :D

The pack has a lot of good qualities, but I mainly like it for adding two of the most versatile female tops in the game. The picture below is only to show how the many different swatches allow for the same top to be styled sweet and casual or dramatic and elegant. That's why I was so excited about the swatches!

Focus: Bowling Night Stuff pack

Here are some outfits, some old, some new. Obviously because this is an older pack, some of them may not be surprising, but I swear that polka dot top and poodle skirt combination is the cutest thing I've seen all day!

The pack also added enough pieces to make totally rad rockabilly sims!

Who's that girl?

Since Sunday rhymes with Funday (technically so does Monday, but that's tomorrow's problem), I thought I would create a little "game" with these Basegame only outfits. I made up categories before I went into CAS and tried to create outfits with a specific theme. Under the spoiler below you will find the categories, if you want to guess for yourself.

Focus: Base Game Female CAS

https://i.imgur.com/F0Pf3K2.jpg

Spoiler
1. Senior Vice President of Midwest Regional Operations (also would have accepted: Career / Business Woman)
2. Librarian / Office Girl
3. Tomboy / Sporty Girl
4. It-Girl (also would have accepted: Footballer's Wife)
5. Quirky Girl / Nerdy Girl
6. Party Girl (also would have accepted: 'Going out dancing with the girls' Girl
7. Country Girl / Small Town Girl
8. Banker's wife (also would have accepted: WASP)

These outfits could be useful if you want your townies to look less generic or like they have a backstory.

For Throwback Thursday I wanted to look back at the outfits I made with the fancy pants with the floral pattern that came with City Living. The pattern is so flashy and unlike anything I would wear IRL, that I thought I would never come up with a nice combo. But one afternoon I set my mind to it, and I still use these outfits for everyday and party wear and enjoy how well these pants are made; the texture is lovely and they look like something you would buy at a high fashion boutique.

@kalaksed It makes me really happy to know that people may use a CAS item more after they've seen an outfit here. It means that - in a small way - I helped them get a little bit more out of a pack they paid good money for. At the end of the day I feel that's what the forum is about - helping each other to get the most out of the game.

(Ha! I think Nancy may even look good in a couple of these outfits. And the blonde Sim is also in the Criminal career in my game. I guess they just have that look ...)

So, since I am not a big fan of floral patterns ... let's do more floral patterns! These outfits work for everyday (nice for a casual lunch date) and hot weather outfits. I am currently using the first one as a hot weather outfit on a Sim I'm playing and it makes me happy every time she wears it! One of the skirts is Base Game the other one is from Romantic Garden.

Focus: Skirts with floral patterns
