Line 38:
Sims can [[Change Appearance|change their appearance]] through a [[mirror]]. Hair color, hairstyle, facial hair (male teens and older only) make-up, glasses/head accessories, and face paint can be changed.
Clothing has also undergone changes. Not only is there far more detail, but when wearing their Everyday clothes the top half of a Sim's outfit can be made separate from the bottom half, or simply be one piece. 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:
*0x00000007: Everyday
*0x00000008: Swimwear
*0x00000010: PJs
*0x00000020: Formal
*0x00000040: Undies
*0x00000100: Maternity
*0x00000200: Gym Clothes
*0x00001000: Outerwear{{vgversion|TS2:S}}
The Outerwear flag can only be set in [[SimPE]] by manually editing the "category" field in the GZPS property set.
''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.
