Clothing has also undergone changes. Not only is there far more detail, but the top half of a Sim's Everyday outfit can now be separate from the bottom half, though Sims can still wear one-piece Everyday outfits. The modes of dressing are Everyday, PJs, Underwear, Swimwear, Formal, and Gym Clothes/Workout Gear. ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' added [[Winterwear#The Sims 2: Seasons|Outerwear]], which will usually be worn in cold weather. Unlike ''The Sims'', which used file-naming conventions to identify skins as Everyday, Formal, etc., ''The Sims 2'' uses internal flags. While separate tops and bottoms can only be Everyday, whole outfits can placed in multiple categories. For example, an outfit can be flagged as both Everyday and Gym Clothes. Values are:

The Outerwear flag can only be set in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] by opening the file and manually editing the "category" field in the GZPS property set. All other flags can be set from within the "Scan Folder" tool. Not all clothing made with a pregnancy morph will have the maternity flag set, but that flag should '''not''' be set for clothing that has not been made with a pregnancy morph.
These flags are normally set by Body Shop, but they can be edited in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. The Outerwear flag can only be set in SimPE by opening the file and manually editing the "category" field in the GZPS property set, but all other flags can be set from within the "Scan Folder" tool. Editing the flags for tops and bottoms will allow them to appear in areas of [[Plan Outfit]] other than Everyday, but will ''not'' cause them to appear in other areas of CAS, [[Clothes#Clothing racks|clothing racks]], or Body Shop. Not all clothing made with a pregnancy morph will have the maternity flag set, but that flag should '''not''' be set for clothing that has not been made with a pregnancy morph.


''The Sims 2'' also uses internal flags to show which [[life stages]] can wear an article of clothing, and which [[gender]] it is for. SimPE can be used to set these flags, but it is not recommended to have an article of clothing available to more than one life stage unless the stages are [[young adult]] and [[adult]]. Likewise, an article of clothing can be flagged as being for both genders. This can be, and sometimes is, done with clothing for [[toddler]]s and children, as their bodies do not have gender differences. However, it is not recommended to have clothing for older Sims flagged as being for both genders.
