Maybe in the future, but I doubt it. I'm not having much luck with meshing clothes right now. Sorry guys!

I downloaded these, and they're awesome, far better than the original ones. But after a test in bodyshop, it revealed that there is a real problem with these. Opening the female pj's catalog causes my computer to slow down, bug, lag and almost crash. And finally, when the catalog is finally open, clicking on one of the default pj's causes real problems. Not only the computer gets even slower, but the top of the pj catches light very oddily, so the top is brighter than the sims neck, face and legs. So, obviously, I'm unable to use these pj's, though the male versions work just fine. What a shame. :P

Thats a very strange bug you have reported. Are you using the legacy bodyshop? Or perhaps an unpatched Pets version? Maybe you did not place them in the bins folder? Or have another default pj set hidden somewhere? I'd love to be able to get this working for you. I always feel sad when I can't get something to work that I wanted.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, the problem was in my game, and re-installation solved the problem (and a few more bugs in Maxis's default clothes). Now these work perfectly (;

What would I do without you?

...Never use Maxis clothes, that's what I'd do. Now I'll actually use 'em! Hooray!

Aww.. it's too bad you couldn't get the sleeves or at least the pants lengthened.. My fingers itch to tug on their hems every time my sims spin into Maxis pj's. LOL

I'll keep on the lookout for someone to make a default replacement mesh with the pants lengthened and in the meantime, these are going in my game! They look so much better.

Its not a problem with the mesh, its a problem with the UV Map, once you stretch it out, it looks kinda funny. Though, I might try it again, seems to be on a lot of people's nerves.

I'm confused as to why you think it's the UV map, Phaenoh. To strech the sleeves/pants you need to edit the mesh, not the UV map.

I DID that. Stretching the mesh makes the texture look funky. To fix that, its a UV Map issue.

Oh. Maybe I just wasn't understanding what you were saying before. Lack of sleep does that to a person.

Hey, I downloaded almost all of your Maxis default replacement clothing, and I wanted to say THANK YOU for making Maxis clothes usable

Yum. I love these PJs! They look much brighter...and colorful! I LOVE any kind of outfit with bright, nice colors, so these jammies are a definite improvement to me. I would have made default replacements myself, but I'm very lazy and didn't feel like getting into all that technical stuff :P
Please. DON'T ask me who Frazier is, or I'll hurt you.

I love these re-textures and I noticed a few people asking about the mesh being made longer, well I found a default replacement of Bettye's longer pj mesh over at SFV, and these new default textures work along side the mesh replacement perfectly (I use both in my game with no problems). Just thought I'd let those who were asking about it know as I myself was looking for one for ages.

Thanks for the link PearDrops! I'm guessing by 'no problems' you mean the texture isn't stretched? Thats good, I had a hard time trying to get that to work, I'm glad you mentioned it. Now those outfits will have absolutely nothing wrong with them to bug me about!

The only thing I noticed is that on the female adults ones the end part of the arms where the darker colour is has a bigger block of colour but I don't think it makes much difference. Other than that the two replacements compliment each other very well.

Anyone else hated those solid colored matchy-matchy pjs that take up the majority of the space in the sleepwear catalog for your teens, adults, and elders?


LOL! You said "matchy-matchy"! You must be a Project Runway fan, as the only other time I've heard that term used is Nina Garcia and Heidi Klum during seasons 1 & 2 lol.

Awesome job, though, as always...

Nope, never seen the show, ever, and I don't know who those people are. I always used to describe the way my mother would dress as 'matchy-matchy', I needed new terms for the level of 'uncool' she had obtained during my teenage years.

So I sent Angela Pleasant and Dirk Dreamer to college once and they ended up in the hot pink and the baby blue PJ's, respectively. That has nothing to do with this, but at least when I have them go to bed, they will be in interesting PJ's now. Thanks!
And it's gone, baby, gone.
