Line 41:
Selecting "Outfit..." allows the player to select any of the 6 clothing types that are available in the base game. All clothing types cost §120 to sew, regardless of how much it would cost to buy them from a clothing rack. Selecting a clothing type opens up a version of the "Buy..." dialog for that type. As with buying clothes off a rack, the player will be able to select the [[gender]] and [[life stage]] the clothes are for; the "mannequin" figure will be a generic Sim of that age and gender. However, if the "Everyday" category is selected, only one-piece outfits can be chosen; separate tops or bottoms cannot be sewn. As with buying clothes off a rack, outfits which are already in the household's wardrobe will be tagged with the "dresser" icon.
Once an outfit has been selected, the player will be able to give it a name and description, or can accept the generic name and description that is given. This name and description will be used when the finished outfit appears in the Sim's inventory. An outfit will take around three Sim hours to complete. Once finished, it will appear as a "bundle of clothes" like those Sims carry when taking clothing to or from a clothing rack. Removing a bundle from the Sim's inventory and clicking on it gives the options "Add To Wardrobe" (if it is not already in the household's wardrobe) and "Sell". Choosing "Add To Wardrobe" immediately adds the outfit to the household's wardrobe. As with buying clothes off a rack, an outfit that is in more than one category only needs to be placed in the wardrobe once, so a sewn outfit that is cross-categorized as Outerwear will be available as Outerwear, even though the Outerwear category cannot be chosen. Choosing "Sell" immediately sells the outfit; a newly-made outfit will sell for §400, regardless of type. If ''[[Open for Business]]'' is installed, the bundles can be sold in a Sim-owned [[business]]. When bundles are marked for sale, the "wholesale price" is considered to be §400, not §120, so a bundle that was made at home can be sold for less than wholesale and still be profitable.
If ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' is installed, the player cannot choose to have a Sim sew [[young adult]] clothing outside of a [[college]] [[sub-neighborhood]]. However, a sewn adult outfit that is also flagged as being available to young adults can successfully be added to a college household's wardrobe.
