This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.

Picked Upload! This is a picked upload! It showcases some of the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.

Update: I didn't like having two tropical decals on the front of the suit, so I've removed the lower one. The pictures reflect this change. I've also uploaded a version that is decal free, but you don't get pictures of that because I'm lazy. Neither of these will overwrite the old version, as I've changed my file naming system. Only one version can be used at a time. - March 14, 2008

With Bon Voyage out, I'm sure your little simmies are hitting the beaches a lot more, and wearing their swimsuits more as well! Why not actually use all 6 of the Maxis suits for girls and the 4 for boys? In my opinion, the tropical suits were terrible, and that hodge-podge stained glass thing for boys was no better. I've redone the cut of the girls suit (why there wasn't a one piece to begin with is beyond me) and made the swim trunks black and white (totally retro looking!) Just to clarify, you do not need ANY expansion packs for this or any of my other default replacements to work. If you missed the men's (ugly) two-tone swim trunk fix or the women's ones, get that here and here!

These are DEFAULT REPLACEMENTS, meaning, when you place them in your downloads folder, they will act as Maxis clothing, completely replacing their counterparts. This includes sims currently wearing them. If you want to remove mine and return to the maxis versions, just delete my package from your downloads folder. Btw, if you want your clothing catalog images to reflect these changes, delete your thumbnails folder: C:\Documents and Settings\(yourname)\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails. The game will generate new ones. If you want not default versions, check out this thread of mine.

Have some pics:

BTW, I've got more default replacements, check them out here !

Enjoy!

P.S. I love reading comments! Leave me a couple?

Thanks very much, I really like what you've done with these! However, is there any chance that we could get these as simply Custom Clothes, rather than Replacements? I really like these but I don't really like replacing the Defaults. But I really like these! So . . . any possibility?

I have the right to act my shoe size.

Thank you for making the onesies. I just don't think little girls should wear bikinis.

I actually like the little girl bikinis, but the ones you made are lovely.

Um, could you add a little more of those pictures for girls? And, I don't know if you've noticed, but the girl's back of the swimming suit is split into *example* one side is pink, the other is purple.

Sorry if I confused you, I often do that

You would like to see the back of these swimsuits? Thats why I cropped the pictures to still include the mirror. You can see the backs that way. If you are talking about seams, I did make sure to consider them, they are hardly noticeable with the tye-dye color changes.

Neve mind, I guess. I actually saw wrong before looking into the details. I'm REALLY sorry for waisting your time. Replacments are great. Love 'em.

Another great big thank you for these. At first I was afraid I'd need BV, but I see now they work without it. Fabulous!

I dunno, I had a two-piece when I was nine. But it was like, hot pink and orange and I loved it because it had a bra top.

Eh, I was nine. I still like these tho, because I don't remember any self-respecting little girl would want to wear shorts with her bikini top. XD

And it's gone, baby, gone.

I never could understand the appeal of a two piece, still can't understand it for girls (can understand the appeal to guys, which is why I don't wear them), so my little girl sims do not wear two piece outfits. Now they will be able to wear these adorable swimsuits, something they have never done before. Thanks.

Well I actually think the maxis ones are pretty cute but so are these. Can you upload these as just custom swimsuits by any chance? Thankyou

Please see my tip tutorial on how to make standard custom clothes here http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=269217. I have too many default sets out to make two copies of each outfit, sorry.
