German WW2 uniforms
kokozas:
I've recolored a bunch of German soldier/nco uniforms of the Nazi era. The work on the first set is 95% finished, and quality is pretty good. As there weren't perfect meshes for the job I used Maxis soldiers uniform and had to make some compromises with realism but they look realistic enough. I'm not a Nazi or anything like that, au contraire, I just created them to give my villaineous populace some variety and to study the uniforms for another project of mine.
There are few Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps and Waffen-SS soldier- and NCO-uniforms including a cool SS-camoflage lieutenant's version. In the near future I probably will continue to create higher ranking officers.
I've been leeching a lot mainly here and in mts2 so it's about time I start contributing but I thought I ask if it's ok first because of the Nazi era symbols including swastikas and ss-standards. Should I change them first to non-existant imagined symbols, like some runic-styled Simstaffel thingies and simoleon/swastika-mix - what do you fine people here at the insimenator think?
Greetungs,
kokozas

My suggestion:
Offer 2 versions of the uniforms. One can be historically accurate, and the other version can have the swastikas edited.
kokozas:
Yeah, I think I'll upload the "Simreich" version first, and see if there's demand for the accurate versions. I don't even know if there's demand for uniforms at all.
CynaraBlade:
Ah yes...that would be very useful for storytelling purposes indeed!

Well one thing's for sure: the germans had the best looking uniforms during ww2. Many would agree that their uniforms were very diverse and unique in design. I've been comparing many military uniforms and i personally believe that the whole range of ww2 german uniforms is very interesting, be it a Wermacht or SS-Allemagne uniform. I would like to see these creations in sims 2, although you have to offer a hat (whether a new hair style or accessory) with every uniform otherwise your project would be incomplete.
As for the swastikas, they're illegal in Germany and Austria, and anything that represents the Third Reich for that matter, so instead of placing the swastika and the imperial eagle, why not place the Iron Cross in their place? It's historically correct, the Germans wore them during ww1, it doesn't offend them or anyone else. Many pc-games practice this when they're up for sale in the German markets, so i think making the uniforms like that wouldn't be a bad idea right?
