My Rant About EAxis and Teens
Arialonomus:
Frankly I just make my CC clothes that I download for adults into teen clothes, they look pretty darn good, and some of em look better for teens then adults, granted H & M did have some Fairly decent clothes compared to others.
But seriously, fire whoever you have texturing these meshes, hire some consultants and get some GOOD texturers (CC makers HINT HINT!) Try comissioning people like fanseelamb and others to make your clothes for you, and PAY THEM and CREDIT THEM. Even if they don't want to make stuff for you, they can still be adivisors. Cause believe me EAxis, you need some.

Didn't Maxis incorporate designing from the Sims' community in the EPs for TS1? I am a bit vague on that. Maxis' partnership with H&M shows a slight awareness that their designers are quite fashion starved.
H&M was a distinct improvement in fashion design. The outfits, for the most part, are current. I am sure H&M supplied the designs not Maxis' staff.
I really think we need to sit back, relax and see the big picture. Maxis gives us the initial mesh, our community creators adapt and redesign these meshes. Maxis (I believe) also gives the community tools to fashion new and, certainly, more exciting meshes.
The designers at Maxis are involved with the overall game creation. They have proven time and time again that they are not sticklers for detail. Their job is to get the game and its EPs out there (flaws and all). It's a business and we willingly support it. Thankfully, they have given us a game that inspired people can create fabulous additions.
Let Maxis remain base and continue to give us the base. The community will continue to build on it.

For me, its the damn obsession with sandals, it reached a new high recently when the teen male hiking outfit was packing sandals, I guess EAxis have never been hiking? Also why are the child male being neglected in terms of clothing, they haven't had anything new for a few eps and sps now (especially in everyday catergory).

Which is a reason I'm very thankful for the helpful individuals who took the time to write great tutorials on recoloring the clothes or create better clothes for us who aren't as adept with mesh programs. I don't bother using very many Maxis clothes after I discovered the wonderful world of clothes made by fansleelamb(sp? - my bad) and numerous others who made my sims' lives better! :)
It's a shame we can't create CC for Sims 2 Castaway, but hey my Sims can wear their b-ball caps backward....

OMG me too!! i hate all the sandals. And no self-respecting teen boy wears sandals that look like the EAxis ones. I mean gross :P
I've found quite a few beautiful TM clothes that aren't goth, and I've made a few myself :D
