I've hidden all the FreeTime career athletic looking outfits in the everyday catagory. These outfits need to remain in everyday so the career that they belong to will work properly. These outfits are also hidden in the athletic category. It is not possible for the same outfit to be hidden in one category and shown in another. I will have a work around for your 'lost' clothes here. -May 30, 2008
I've rearranged a lot of the hair, please redownload if you see fit. I've also added in Kitchen and Bath Stuff too. I've also renamed all the files to start with zz_Phaenoh... since that was required for many people to get it to work correctly. This also means that it will NOT overwrite the old files. Please delete them from your install location. Since the new ones are named lower in the alphabet that the old ones the game will use the new ones instead, but its worthless to keep the old files around. -Apr.26, 2008
Note: If you want to learn how to do this yourself, I've written a tutorial!
I’ve since come out with many tiny Catalog Edit Mods (I've linked to them all in case you prefer them in bits and pieces or just are curious what an outfit is) and I was tired of sifting through them all in my Bins folder so I have combined them all. This is version 2 of my Great Clothing Migration. The new features include Catalog Edit Mods for all of the Stuff Packs and FreeTime. (Pets not included because I didn’t find anything in the wrong category for them.) PLEASE do not just blindly pick the download that is labeled FreeTime thinking you will get everything below it, YOU WILL NOT! Each file contains different clothes being moved to different categories based on which Expansion Pack they were introduced with. You still need to download each file for each expansion pack you have to ‘completely and properly’ clean up your clothing catalog. Also, after you are done downloading and installing this, go through your Bins folder and delete any other Catalog Edits of mine, You Don't Need Them Anymore! FREEDOM!
Here is a pic of what will be in your Adult Ladies Outerwear Category if you download and install properly all the files given here. (Your mileage may vary based on your own EPs and SPs.)

As I’ve had a few PMs and comments saying they didn’t want to download this without knowing exactly what it is, I will attempt to outline which clothes in each .rar get moved to where. (Am I serious?!?!? WHY?!?! :: grumbles :: because I love you guys…) MANY (if not most) I’ve made Default Replacements for. Some of them don’t make much sense without also getting the replacement. I’ve linked to them for your convience.
Base Game: Moved the Adult Sweatsuits from Everyday to Athleticwear. Removed the Teen, Adult and Elder Tracksuits from Everyday leaving them only in Athleticwear. Moved the Men’s Couture Jackets to Outerwear. Moved the HipHop Athletic suits from Everyday to Athleticwear.

There you go. Now you know.
This game mod will clash with any other mod that does the same thing. It is meant to REPLACE all the little tiny ones in your Bins folder that I have released. Delete them if you download this! You don't need them anymore! The other mods that I know about that will clash happen to be my Athleticwear Mod, my first version of this mod, prolly fanseelamb's Outerwear Mod, and any ‘Maxis Hider ’ mods you have. One exception. fanseelamb has a version that includes the OFB costumes in outerwear. I didn't touch those customs (except the toddler bear outfits) so you can do what you want with those. If you find that you don't like what I did to your catalog, remove what you didn't like. If you hated all of it, may I suggest the other links as alternatives?

In order for the clothes from most recent EP or SP to actually move you can place all the files here C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Highest Expansion Pack You Have\TSData\Res\Catalog\Skins instead of the usually Bins or StuffPack folder. If that doesn’t work, try these other two locations instead. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Highest Expansion Pack You Have\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins or C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Highest Expansion Pack You Have\TSData\Res\StuffPack
You can put these files in your Downloads folder, but if you do, the delete button will be enabled in CAS and Body Shop. They will also not move the clothing and it will all be treated as custom content. Do NOT delete them in CAS or Body Shop. Doing so may corrupt some of your game files. To remove, delete the files themselves from the folder you put them into.
Compatibility: If you do not have Seasons, all of the clothes that have been moved to Outerwear will be missing from your Catalog entirely. I tested it, it won't crash your game, you just can't get at the clothes. This might not be a bad thing in some cases (toddler animal suits?). Read through what I've listed is in each and decide for yourself if it is worth it.
Enjoy!
