Line 140:
In ''The Sims 2'', all clothing racks sell all types of clothing. Since clothes are bought for the household, not for the individual Sim, Sims can buy clothes for other ages, and for the opposite [[gender]]. So, teens, adults, and elders can buy for toddlers and children; and teens and adults can buy for their next life stage. However, [[young adult]] clothing can only be bought on [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] community lots, so teens cannot plan their college wardrobe ahead of time. Also, young adults getting ready to leave campus cannot buy their adult clothing in advance.<ref group="n">''FreeTime'' provides a partial workaround for this. A teen carrying sewn outfits that are available to both adults and young adults can add them to his/her wardrobe once in college. A young adult carrying sewn adult outfits can add them to his/her wardrobe after moving into a non-college residential lot.</ref> (Young adults can go to other areas and buy adult clothing, but will not keep it when they leave campus.) Items selected for purchase will be marked with a green check-mark. They can be unselected by clicking on the shopping cart icon, clicking the item to be unselected, then clicking on the slashed shopping cart icon. Items which are already in the household's wardrobe will be tagged with a small icon that resembles a dresser. These items can be tried on or applied to the "mannequin" figure, but cannot be bought.
 
Players can have Sims try on outfits for their own age and gender. ThisIf the Sim is to try on Everyday clothes, the player can select a top and bottom, or a whole outfit. Having a Sim try on clothes can be useful, as the "mannequin" figure that appears when using the Buy option for the Sim's age and gender isn't always a good representation of the Sim. For example, the "mannequin" will generally be light-skinned, even if the Sim is not. Also, while children cannot buy clothes, they can try them on. The player will not be given the option to add tried-on clothes to the Sim's cart, so having them buy those clothes will involve using a clothing rack's Buy option, and finding them again. When a Sim tries on an outfit, he or she will go into a changing booth, change into the outfit, and pose in front of a mirror. After a short time, the Sim will go back into the booth, change back into what he or she was wearing before, and go back to the rack. It appears that the Sim will use what he or she considers to be the closest available booth. If the Sim decides that that booth is inaccessible, he or she will spin-change at that point, pose briefly, then change back and return to the rack. If there are no changing booths, the Sim will spin-change into the selected outfit, then quickly change back out of it.
 
Clothing racks use the same thumbnails that [[Create a Sim#Step 5: Clothing|Create a Sim]] uses, but do not give access to the collections that are available in CAS.
