Default WCIF more stuff to fit into the 70's, 80's & 90's Stuff Pack theme?
So I've been all over the 70's, 80's & 90's stuff pack lately, and I've actually been using a lot of the retro-cool stuff in-game, in my contemporary mid-2010s game. Now I was watching LGR's review of it just now, and he pointed out just how much stuff is missing here. And it's true, I am missing a lot of stuff.
So what I'm wondering is if you guys are aware of any CC, or even Store content, that fits into the 70s/80s/90s theme, and particularly the 80s, or that could pass as such. Preferably Maxis Match, as always.
Thanks.

The Skylight Studio set has some '80s themed clothes for adult and teen females: http://store.thesims3.com/setsProdu...=OFB-SIM3:66111
There's also this outfit: http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/1233314
And some leg warmers and other nice clothes: http://sims3.modish-kitten.net/post/60319517069

For objects, would the Atomic Age set fit: LINK

Got anything that isn't related to aerobics? My Sims literally don't do aerobics, ever, and sending them back in time to the 80s won't change that.
But I like the Atomic Age set, some of it could pass for 70s.

No idea, aside from using a lot of colorful patterns on clothes.

I've been using some of these, but that's not enough.
It's not only the colours of 70s/80s/90s clothing that is different, but also the fit and a whole lot else. I have this blazer, for example, and it's not an ugly blazer. But it doesn't fit with the current trend of oversized jackets, or with the 80s version of the same trend. So I've gone into Milkshape, and I've just stretched the shoulders out. And I've pulled the bottom of it way down, from the hips down to the knees. And I made the entire torso much wider and baggier. And there's lapels on it, and they're now huge.
I go into Milkshape and make it all a little bit bigger, and then in-game I find out it's not good enough. So I make it a bit bigger still, and it's still not good. So Milkshape it is again, and it's still not good. And I have to keep doing that, because I'm too perfectionist and don't want to fuck it up. And that takes serious time.

(I'm glad that I only have to do this for one decade, and that it's not the 70s. Because good God, 70s fashion just gets worse the longer you look at it.
So like LGR said, these decades need to be described. Here's what I propose.

The "Plain Wrong and Ugly" 70s
The "So Wrong and Ugly That It's The Opposite" 80s
The "Half-Dope, Half-Awful" 90s)

Oh I understand completely, there's a lot of CAS stuff I'd like to fix up but am not quite at that level yet
Most players seem to prefer either modern or Victorian clothes, so other styles tend to get neglected by creators.

The only oversized clothes I've seen are released by Asian Simblrs and look more modern to me. Think you can work with any of these?

I suppose the second one could work in a Peggy Bundy sort of way. I mean, her exact hairdo is in the pack already. The rest won't work because it's too modern, and because anything other than Maxis Match is absolutely haram.
