Line 5:
While ''The Sims 2'' did not include jewelry prior to ''Bon Voyage'', it did make glasses separate from Sims' heads. This allowed [[custom content]] creators to make earrings, necklaces, and other accessories that were categorized as glasses. Accessories such as bracelets and bags are also possible, but the display will remain focused on the Sim's head regardless of where the accessory is to be placed. These accessories are available in Step 4 of [[Create a Sim#Step 4: Makeup, Facial Hair & Glasses|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. ''The Sims 2'' also allowed creators to use custom "bins" for accessories. This allowed creators to make accessories that could be "layered" so that a Sim could have multiple accessories. Making a selection may not affect other selections that have made, especially if they have been applied to different parts of the Sim's head or body. Accessories made in this way are associated with various outfits by internal flags; the player cannot change this in-game, but these flags can be edited in [[SimPE]].
 
''Bon Voyage'' addeddid jewelrynot aschange this system or items that used it. It did, however, add a ''new'' system. Jewelry that used this new system was in a separate category in CAS, and aswas something that could be bought in stores or found on [[beach]]es. Once a piece of jewelry has been bought, found, or assigned in CAS, it can be put on or taken off with the Change Appearance option. The player can assign jewelry for all outfits, or each outfit can have its own jewelry. ''Bon Voyage'' added the '''SparkleMaster Jewelry Rack''' to allow Sims to buy jewelry on [[community lot]]s. What type of selection it has depends on where it is placed. Placed in a vacation destination, it will offer a selection of local jewelry in addition to the selection that is available on all community lots. The rack was carried forward into ''[[FreeTime]]'' and ''[[Apartment Life]]'', but it appears that most of the selection which was provided with ''Bon Voyage'' was not.{{confirm}}
