Not sure what you meant by your second comment, none of the workers went on strike or even interrupted their jobs for the uniform change, I spoke with their unions about 2 months ago, and they agreed to start saving for the new uniforms then. The headmaster was a bit more stubborn, but he agreed to loosen the dress code to allow these 'alternative' outfits, but didn't want to use school funds for it.

haha! Silly headmasters...

The files won't let me download, it says something about an unexpected end of archive and corrupted files. Apparently my computer is just on strike from new uniforms!

Hey, these are amazing default replacements. I love them!!

I only have one comment: could you change the female maid's outfits? I'm all for women looking stylish in the workforce, but I'm pretty sure I've seen something like the female Maid Outfit in a Hustler Hollywood. Maybe they could wear something a little more stylish and work-appropriate.

Just saying. ^_^ Keep up the AMAZING work.

You have to pick. You only get to use one, even though the .rar has them all. The Headmaster will rotate, but the kids uniforms are all together only for convenience sake.

As I've said in one or two of my other default posts, no, I won't make standard CC versions. My suggestion is always the Bodyshop Export/Import method. Install the default, then bodyshop copy it, then remove the default. That is the easiest way for everyone involved.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Oh, thank you so much! I have always been annoyed that the service NPCs are dressed like 3 year olds allowed to dress themselves for the first time.

Having done the minimum wage slave stint, I have had to wear some awful uniforms before, but I'm not sure you could pay me enough to dress like the nannies or delivery drivers.

I am simply a mass hallucination that a majority of the population chooses to believe in.

Since I downloaded these three hours ago, I've been trying to think of a suggestion for you. 'The entire adult clothing catalog' (I have the ones you've done so far and love them) comes to mind, but you seem to be working your way toward that. You're awesome!

I basically just like to play uglacies.

You quiet. The only thing I hate as much as 'demands', as opposed to 'requests', is a demand on my time. I was planning on using today to work on my contest entry and as luck would have it my 15th Keen Eye request came in. I had to drop everything and I'm trying to upload that now. Then I want to get back to work on my entry, THEN I'll worry about silly little Fifi.

You are still thinking too small, what about all the other ages? The toddlers are screaming to have their diapers back, and the elders are tired of being 'ol fogies'. The teens and kids don't want to get left out either and they each have a few clothes that they never wear. Its not just the adults, its EVERYBODY!

Do these replace the Uni cheerleader or whatever those things they wear are? I think SaraMK made some STFU uniforms on MATY and I was wondering if I need to take them out. Great job too!!

No, only the outfits that are pictured changed.

Is my forest green worse than yellow and lime green?!!?! I didn't want blue because Maxis has over used blue, and red seemed to bright for the paper, I chose green because I was thinking that the green jacket was for recycling or being 'green'. We recycle or compost those newspapers when we are done with them anyways, why not reflect that?

Absolutely fantastic job on this (as usual)! My pet peeve is the fact that in the winter, with snow thick on the ground, the poor service NPC's are still required to wear shorts and thin short-sleeved shirts! Is there any way to help them out with that?

Forest green and white beats out lime and yellow anytime for my paper boys and girls! Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

*sigh* if only all the service uniforms went with most of my 1920's themed neighborhoods...

these are still a step away from maxis, toward beauty
thanks

my personal life can be supported by veiwing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2z-Q6x6eU and others on my youtube page. I believe there's a few building tutorials there aswell. I create rather sporadically, so excuse me if I'm gone from this website for months or years at a time.

Um, see all the above posts of people who are very appreciative for it. A lot of us get tired of looking at the same old clothes, so they have been freshened up. Why do you think it is not an improvement?
