The basegame long skirt is ugly. Aside from almost every shirt being too short (2001 nostalgia, anyone?), the pattern choices make clothes look ratty. Take this skirt, for example: the cut is weird and wtf is with that rope anyway, it's just hanging around the waist. Plus the patterns make sims look like they're wrapped up in burlap sacks. Enough of that!

What's new
  • This is a default replacement, so it'll replace the original skirt for the ages: Teen, Young Adult-Adult, Elder Females.
  • No more ugly seams or rope!
  • The channel used for the rope is now used for the belt.
  • One new channel added! You can now recolor the hem line (?) on the bottom and middle of the skirt!
  • Small buttons detail added to belt.
  • WA introduces recolors of the skirt only for Egypt (and only for YA-A). I included a version that replaces that one too. You need World Adventures for that one!
  • Skirts recategorized to also show up in Makeover and Outerwear (aside from Everyday, Formal, Career). Also enabled for Random.
  • You can use all skirts at the same time, as they use different resources.

Known issues

1. There is a seam on the right side of the sim, near the arm. This is also in the EA textures, and I couldn't find a way to fix it. It's not too noticeable, and not noticeable at all if you use vertical and/or small patterns.
2. When you select the skirt on teens, the mesh looks all black and like the original skirt. Simply choose a pattern or recolor it yourself and you'll see the four-channel version.
3. Sometimes, on adults if you select the skirt the original mesh will pop up (with the rope and three channels). You can either use and recolor that version, or pick any of the other four recolors (all with four channels). Both versions work.
4. A few CAS thumbnails for the adult version show the original recolors. Haven't found a fix for this, but the outfits themselves work.

Note

If you pick a preset with 4 channels and the 4th channel doesn't show up, wait a bit; it'll show up once all the patterns in that category are loaded.
You may have to delete your cache files for this to show up properly.

(Tedious) Work process

I have a tendency to forget, and maybe someone will find this useful, so here's the work process:
