My Rant About EAxis and Teens
Tenshii~Akari:
It bugs me at how few clothes there are related to my style, both for when I was a teen and right now. (specifically for teen girls.)
I usually wear a comfortable shirt, an extra large pull-over hoodie with a pair of non-constricting but slightly flared jeans, and some sneakers or "Timbs". (When I'm really feelin' cute, a nice blouse with the same type of jeans mentioned before, and maybe some dressy boots. :smile bi:) Unfortunately, I saw almost nothing of the sort when I first played the game, so I was quite unhappy I had to put a close-fitting tee and the ugly cargo pants on my teen "self" sim. Seeing a lot of skirts, tight jeans, dresses, and short shorts with sandals with absolutely no "tomboy" style annoys me. Having them all in a style that even my flamboyant cousin wouldn't touch with a 6ft pole is even more annoying. :angry7:
Let's just hope for the sake of human and sim-kind (that is, if they ever decide to clean up their act with all the issues they have now, and if I ever regain the courage to touch another EA product) that Sims 3 will be a little more "tasteful" in clothing, mainly by using styles of this decade (...or whatever decade it comes out. :lol:)

Ah well, I think H&M is a big improvement clothes-wise.
And I don't play without any cc at all, but i do play without clothes-cc or hair, make-up or furniture for that matter.
Some small furniture-thingies, and posing hacks+mods is all the cc I have.
I do have a hard time finding clothes when I've already formed the character in my head, but when it's developing while I create them, it's fine, because I can adjust the character to the available clothes. :P

I just think of the teen sim days as the ackward stage. I don't put too much care in their looks at that time, cause they are working hard toward Uni. I play alot of knowledge sims, and I have to work them hard on skills during that time. Some of my funny looking sims flower when they go to Uni. ;)
freshsfs2003:
I agree with everybody. I have a handful of CC for my teen male sims and I'm thank for those finds because without it my sim would just have to go naked! You are absolutely correct but I'm hoping the the new expansion pack for teens will boost up their closet.

Actually, I think Maxis pays little attention to fashion mainly because they are too busy "constucting" each EP (oh well, they are not too good at that either).
Even though they long ago forgot that they created the game to be customized and enhanced by the TS2 community (Body Shop...backwards compatibility, etc. anyone? In game flashing blue accessories anyone?), we do have a great deal of fabu clothing for male and female teens out there. Be thankful for BeosBoxBoy and Marvine for their buff teens and Watts for his as well. Wirelessguy, Frezia and too many others to mention right here at the InSim have given us great alternatives to EAxis teen fashion boredom.
