Default WCIF non-"alpha" shorts for female toddlers?
Hi all,

Does anyone know of any non-alpha or Maxis Match shorts for toddler girls? There are two on TSR but they aren't really matching what I'm looking for. I have alpha shorts but they clip with the top I want to use.

Thanks!

This may belong in the Stupid Questions thread but what are alpha shorts or non-alpha shorts?

I often encounter the term "alpha" in TS4 cc, I think it means a non-EA/Maxis mesh...?

"Alpha" CC is a style of CC that is more "realistic" because almost every part of it, like folds, decorations, details in general are fully meshed. "Maxis/EA match" CC can still be really detailed but are overall more "cartoony" and so they fit in with the original style of the game more. The difference between the two is more obvious in TS4 and TS2.
Example of Alpha CC - Look closely at the folds and the straps

Now here's Maxis Match

Thank you for the explanation! You learn something new every day!
If you are having issues with clipping or whatever - Emily over at the EA forums fixes broken cc. She is especially good at fixing clothing.
