Homeless clothes

I don't know about CC, I haven't used any yet. But, I do start many, many of my saves with homeless R2R Sims. My favorite outfit for them is a black sweatshirt, the ripped jeans with the shirt tied around the waist, a black beanie and the black/white Chuck tennis shoes or boots. For my male homeless Sims, I also give them a full beard and crooked teeth too. The ladies don't wear make-up or jewelry and their hair is usually the messy long style or a side braid. Here's a pic of my latest Extreme R2R Sim, Heath Ohmleth to give you an idea:

These two girls were from my Runaway Siblings challenge. Dressed a bit different than described since I didn't have the Parenthood pack and Abby's personality called for short hair:

A couple more female examples:

One of my current gameplay Sims, Eva Knight

And lastly, my homeless hippie, Sunshine Beam living in an abandoned school bus. She's an older free spirit who's been on the road for a long time by choice. So she's dressed a bit differently than my standard homeless Sim attire.

Hope these examples give you some ideas. Have fun! :)

EDIT: I apologize for the crummy graphics. All these pics were taken on my old crummy laptop except for Eva and Heath.

@Karababy52 I really like you choice of outfits for your homeless sims.

I pretty much used the same outfit for my male homeless sim. Thanks!!

My sim wears like this at home. I'm dead. :joy:

@kalaksed I did not mean to offend anyone with my choices for homeless attire. By saying 'standard' I meant in my game. My Sims actually wear a wide variety of outfits, I just showed a few. @aaronrulz asked for examples in the game for 'ripped' so that's what I tried to show him was available. Heath has a full beard because when I started that particular gameplay, it was late Fall in the game. Later on he 'cut' off his beard once it was Spring.

I know there is a wide variety of clothing worn by homeless people, I wasn't trying to depict the 'stereotype'. It's just the kind of clothes MY homeless Sims would wear for their situations. Depending on their story, they wear different things, for example my Sim Sunshine wore something very different as shown above.

Also, your examples on how to make different outfits from one is great and I've actually done exactly that. Eva's outfit changed from what I showed to wearing a t-shirt (coincidentally the one in your example) instead of the sweatshirt for a top and didn't wear the beanie when it was warm out. Then later on as it got even warmer and she earned some simoleans, she changed out the jeans for shorts. She switched to a different hat too because she loves hats and rarely goes anywhere without wearing one.

I guess I tend to go for the warmer outfits for my homeless Sims because I live in Michigan where it's cold most of the time in Fall/Winter and typically right on into Spring. We don't get much hot weather here. lol In my mind the rips in the jeans were appropriate too since none of these Sims had any simoleons and I imagine they'd been on the street for a long time. Some of them were runaways too that tried to stay out of the public eye so they probably wouldn't have went anywhere to get other clothes.

Oh dear @DeKay I apologize to you as well. I know ripped jeans are 'trendy' now and have been for a long time. I guess I just have an old school mentality, since, in my generation, if you wore ripped jeans, it meant you couldn't afford better jeans for whatever reason. Unless you wore the kind of cut off jean shorts called Daisy Dukes. Those were all the rage back then. lol

Anyway, thanks for your examples @kalaksed and for the stories about the homeless people in your area. They sound very interesting and eclectic in their attire. I live in small town rural America and rarely even see any homeless people around here. One of the few homeless guys I've ever seen actually WAS dressed like Heath and Eva. But again, it was the middle of Winter too.

Have a great rest of your evening/day and the following week!

Happy Simming! :)

Haha, no need to apologize. And I liked that outfit not cuz of the ripped jeans (I do love ripped jeans too actually), but I loved the tied flannel shirt. :D

Where do you get the ripped jeans with the shirt around the waist? I'm not finding it in my game.

I think it’s from Parenthood or Cats & Dogs.
