Jewelry

Jewelry, as a distinct type of item, was added in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. In The Sims, some head and body skins were made so it would appear that a Sim was wearing jewelry, but it was not separate from the Sim's head or body.

Prior to Bon Voyage, The Sims 2 did not include jewelry, but did make glasses separate from Sims' heads. This allowed custom content creators to make earrings, necklaces, and other accessories that were categorized as glasses. They were available in Step 4 of Create a Sim and when using a mirror's Change Appearance option. Later expansion packs recognized this by using "Head Accessories" in Change Appearance, though they still used "Glasses" in CAS.

Bon Voyage established jewelry as something that could be found on beaches or bought in stores.
