Comfy and Practical - Slim Cuffed and Yoga Sweatpants

Another week and two more clothing updates. I think i am almost done! As you can tell I love having a large variety of sweatpants styles in my game for all occasions. These were some of my most-used but with the need to remake them, I made a few improvements. Like all my other styles I have tweaked the textures, fixed bones and added more colour options. Do be aware these suffer from the sunken crotch, but since I will never use them on females and don't make clothing for the feminine frame, there is no point pulling my hair out to rectify it when I will never personal use them.

Summer Fun - Loose Cut, and Loose Bands Tank Tops

Another day, another fix/remake. This time my fave tank top. The goal was to update the original file, however that wasn't possible because of some changes, so I decided just to remake it. I overhauled the texture, fixed the NM and added more colours. I also decided to remake my Dip Dyed Tank on this mesh and love how it turned out. So now there is a plain and patterned version available.

Simple V-Necks - Keeping It Simple and Stripe My V Tees

I love v-necks and there really isn't enough for my liking. I have done a few variations of the years and it was time to update these completely due to how much CAS has changed since i made them. New colours and colour combos have been included along with updated textures. One of my favourite basic tops for guys, this is going to get more use now its brand new.

Simple Crew Necks - Keeping It Simple and Stripe My Crew Tees

Another update of older content, Here is one of my favourite plain tees. Some times guys just need the basics. Nothing flashy, nothing over-designed, just some simple tees. So that is what I have supplied. Since the original is incredibly old, it was time to redo the mesh and texture. I have also decided to change the striped style to a thick design which I love.

Baseball V's - Short, 3/4, and Long-Sleeve Tees

One of my earliest creations for TS4 was something of an oddity I had never seen: v-neck baseball tee. Because of that i had to make them for my game. Now with the process of remaking my CAS items, I decided to revisit these favourites and give them an overhaul plus adding a new style. Now i will get even more use out of these.

I have been updating for Seasons, but only the short sleeve one gets Hot weather use out of these, since the other two fell into a grey area not covered by either of the new categories, so i decided to not apply the filter for the 2/4 and long sleeve versions. Like usual, you can remove the filter to use them in either category like any other clothing category.

Square Cut Tank - Version 2.0 for guys

Another remake. I had originally made this style in TS3 then again when TS4 came out. I prefer this style to the more traditional shape and it is great as a workout top. Since the original was so old, it was time for a remake, so like usual this doesn't replace the original but it will no longer be available either. So you can have both in-game if you prefer.

Laze About - Sweatshorts for Guys

This was a new idea I had after redoing my standard sweatpants. I wear these around the house all thew time and they are just so comfy. So why not make them for my sims? So I did just that. They come in my standard sweatpants colours and are just perfect for loungewear.

Slouchie Sweatpants V2.0

Another day, another remake. There is nothing quite as good as sweatpants, or as the aussies say; trackie pants. They were one of my favourite TS3 creations, one of the first things i adapted to TS4, and now in its third iteration on a different mesh and cleaned up textures. I am going to get even more use out of these now.

Pushed Up V-Neck - new sweater for guys

This is something new I ended up making after looking at my old v-neck sweater I made which was a retexture of a basegame mesh. I loved the idea of a 3D collar and with the addition of an item with one, I set about using part of the mesh for this. The original did have a tee underneath, but I decided to get rid of it for this new version since you could use an accessory tee an an option. I am very happy with the outcome and definitely plan more variants in the future. As for now, its just this simple version which gets lots of use in my game.

Beachdays: Some Junk in Your Trunks & Surfs Up! Boardshorts

I really let these clothing updates fall by the wayside, that's for sure. So right back into them it is! This time is a redo of my swimwear from a followers gift with cleaned up textures, new styles, and just generally nicer to look at. I canned some styles, but since these don't replace the original, you can have both versions if you wish.

Rolled Rebel - Tucked-in Tee for Guys

This was a new idea I ad when remaking some of my older clothing. I do like tucked in t-shirts and i love the look of rolled sleeves, so i combined the ideas and turned them into this. It was a pain to get the normalmap right so it didn't overlay bottom items, but once I figured that out all went smooth from there. I really love this top with a nice pair of jeans, definitely gives off a Rebel Without a Cause vibe for sure.

Buttoned Up - Baggy and Cuffed Jeans for Guys

These started off as a remake of my Buckled Up jeans but i just kept changing and changing them, finally settling on what you see above. I am really happy with it. It is hard to jean a denim texture to look maxis-match but i think I managed to pull off a decent attempt to do so with these. Besides, there are not enough baggy jeans in-game.

I Like Short Shorts - V2 remake for guys

I really need to get the ball rolling on these clothing updates since i have so many, so why not start again with these? I always found them amusing myself and just had to redo them because some sims just look great in short shorts. I discontinued some styles I no longer used and added some more solid colours. Now to get even more use out of them!

Rambler Leather Jacket - Version 2.0

Well, i really don't know what to say other then this is a remake of one of my earlier CAS creations. A lot has changed since the release of TS4 and a lot of my stuff is outdated, so it was time to remake it. Anyway, I separated the jacket from the biker outfit from basegame, retextured it and voila! New jacket for guys. I really do love how this scrubbed up compared to the original.

Slim and Cuffed - Set of Jeans for guys

I am in the process of updating/remaking all of my clothing. CAS has changed so much since the introduction of TS4 and it about time I addressed some of the niggley issues, as well as improve on some older concepts. This however is a new item. I really loved the jeans from the bowling back, but wanted more variation. I decided to take the texture and apply it to one of my favourite sets of pants; the cropped base-game pants. I abuse them and wanted a jeans version. So here it is.

Rolled V-neck Tee

Been sitting on this for about a month, so it was probably time I got around to sharing it. I always need more simple tees in my game, and v-necks especially since the particular style just isn't that common. I like rolled sleeves too. I don't know why, but I do. Anyway, this particular v-neck has a 3D collar (not just painted on) so it gives a nice look to the end product. I knew the doctor's scrubs would come on handy one day for a frankenmesh project. Anyway, enough blabbering, I hope you enjoy.

Comfy Pullover Sweater

Well its been a while since I have made any male clothing. This is partially due to other projects and also being uninspired. Really, there is not a lot of content to create unique frankenmeshes for TS4 guys, but taking a break from object CC i came up with a few future projects, including this one. If you look, a lot of the sweaters Maxis makes (not including ties) are overwhelmingly dominated by rolled sleeves. I like choice so I came up with this mashup and I am happy to have another long-sleeve choice when dressing my guy sims.
This top can be used on bodies other then masculine male, but just be aware that the mesh is not optimised for breasts much like all other items converted from men to women with the unisex patch. I have not disabled them as someone might find a use but you will only find them under the masculine filter or if you remove it from the search bar in CAS. 

Loose and Cut Tank Top

You really don't see a lot of tank tops around. Probably because after a while they all tend to look the same, It is however a great peice of casual clothing for guys whether then are at home, or out at the park. I tried to make this tank a bit different with a split seam and a longer length and I am very happy with the outcome. Considering this started out as an attempt at a sleeveless button-up shirt, it turned out well.
Note: this top is a longer then a standard t-shirt or tank, going down past the waist to the groin. Because of this, I have reassigned the weight paint and adjusted the UV maps so it should not clip that much with EA bottoms. It will however clip a little (or perhaps more), depending on what it is put with. That is the downside to longer tops. So be mindful it may clip depending on what you put it with, especially CC bottoms. 

The clothing item features:

• basegame compatibility
• Non-default
• 20 colour options
• available for teen to elder men
• found by default under the tank top filter
• Disabled for random
• Custom thumbnails
• can be found by default in everyday, athletic, swimwear, and sleepwear (but can be used in other categories by removing the filter in CAS)

Casual Cool - V-neck Sweater

It has been a while since I made a proper 'new' item for CAS since I have been concentrating on objects. However, I was a clothing creator first, and there are still so few who make content for guys (much more then TS3 though). This is an old WIP I put on the back-burner for a few months and decided to finish it off recently. I think it offers something a little different from other sweaters in-game. I don't think I will ever understand why the v-neck is not as popular. Oh well, more things to make.
Big thanks to untraditionalnerd for helping with the hiding of necklaces with this top :)

Kimi-Kimono Jacket

After the big weekend last week, I am keeping things small while I replenish my creative juices. When I got the Movie Hangout SP, I really liked the items that came with it for the guys. What i wanted though was some different patterns for the kimono jacket. So what I did was find some appropriate patterns to liven it up, and add some more solids too. I also recategorised it as a jacket. I have no idea why it was listed under t-shirts. Anyway, hope you enjoy the simple recolour.
