Tink, you could try deleting your groups.cache file and your accessory.cache file(found in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 directory)...sometimes a mod will leave residual effects until these files are rebuilt, which will happen automatically the next time you restart your game.

It's quite safe to delete these files, some ppl do this as a rule each time they play as a safeguard...the only downside is that, because the game must create replacement files, it may take a bit longer to load than normal the next time you play your game.

Good luck!

I did that. It didn't work I deleted everything in that folder but my dowloads and the CEP folder. I don't know what to do.

*EDIT* I fixed it. It ended up being a residual from a lot I downloaded, I don't know which one though.

is there any way to remove these maxis hair cloths completally from there & not only hide?:O

oh, thank you so much! genius - i've been searching for this!
but will this slow down the game (loading town, family, everything in general) & considering i will be downloading 6658236x custom hairstyle & clothing in replacement?

phew! that was a lot of downloading i have all the eps! but thinking about maxis hair and clothing kept me going! lol !!! i have got rid of lots of maxis stuff now yay, no more maxis -
- cars
- hair
- clothes
- make-up

that means YAY!

Better late than never. Thank you for this genius creation. No more ugliness in my game. Bravo to you indeed!!

YAY!!! Now I have replaced all the maxis skintones, lipsticks end eyeshadow, have pretty CAS face templates, and GOTTEN RID OF MAXIS HAIR ON TOWNIES!! YAYYYYYY!!!!! Can't download clothes hiders yet, coz not enough of my clothing downloads are townified. BUT NO MORE FUG, BLOCKY MAXIS HAIR!!!!

I still have some clothing showing up like base game clothing. Its only one or 2 outfits per category/age group. I'm not sure why? I have no other mods in my downloads right now when I check to see if everything is hidden. I also need to get a hider for kitchen and bath, but thats the only sp thats not hidden.

In my game these outfits are still shown, and all new townies automatically wear them

is there a way new townies wear the custom clothes too? they allready choose the custom hair.....


thank u so much for the upload

I always wanted to get rid of these ugly clothes, and now I can. I LOVE YOU =D

Oh!this is useful,but sadly I have one favorite hairstyle i do use - the double bun one.Shame,but I will be using this on my other game then,thank you so much!This is extremely useful,one step closer to de-Maxify the game,no offense Maxis.

I wanted to hide only all EPs but keep the base game content (clothes and hair) so I downloaded all files except XP0s because it is for base game (creator says) and it hides the base game also... How is that possible?

This question is nearly 8 years old, but I had the same issue and found the solution: HideHairXP1.package somehow also includes the base game hair, while HideHairXP0.package only hides like one or two hairstyles
