Hidden Create-A-Sim Content

This is a sub-page of The Sims 2 (Windows).

To do: But wait! There's more! Stuff from this page. 1 Use this to unlock hidden CAS stuff Hidden NPC clothing and stuff...should unobtainable NPC outfits be covered? Fire Dancer's palm frond hairstyle, slightly different from the used CAS ones.

It's notorious that The Sims 2 has dozens of inaccessible hairstyles and clothing in the base game and its expansions to an extent.

This article will NOT cover unused "meshes" nor any fanmade recreations relating to it, which are instead found in the Unused Models section.

Unobtainable Content#

To do: Cover: Base Game afbodybusdriver_brown ambodyexterminator_RepoMan aubodyreaper aubodyreaper_nolei uuhairsocialbunny_blue uuhairsocialbunny_pink uuhairsocialbunny_yellow All of the Career headgear. Expansions Mrs. Crumplebottom outfit from Nightlife and Seasons. Plantsim hairstyle from Seasons. Plantsim outfit in FreeTime. Fire Dancer, Witch Doctor, Unsavory Charlatan and Tour Guide outfits from Bon Voyage. Human Statue and Breakdancer outfits from Apartment Life.

Those outfits are seen in normal gameplay, but cannot be obtained in the household's wardrobe without any debug cheats or mods. Many of them correlate to NPCs that cannot be moved in. The outfits also apply to Hidden Content below.

Life Stage-Restricted Content#

To do: There's a long list of them. Green sword shirt available for adult sims, would later be reused in Castaway Stories, albeit destroyed. Circular glasses available for males facial hair stuff available for females. Adult Stage-only hairstyles available for Elders. Inaccessible cubodyturtleneck colors for Children sims in Seasons.

Clothing textures in the files are listed via the following abbreviations, internally grouped via Stage and Gender in order;

• u = universal/All Stages
• e = Elder
• a = Adult
• t = Teen
• c = Child
• u = Toddler
• b = Baby

And for genders:

• m = male
• f = female
• u = unisex

For example, a clothing only worn by male teens has an abbreviation of "tm". There are unused clothes that are supposed to appear in all stages but are programmed to appear in specific ones.

Inaccessible Content#

To do: More. Cover the following: CASIE_amhairhatbaseballcap_meshBlue CASIE_amhairhatfedora CASIE_tmhairgibs CASIE_tmhairhat_bluebrown CASIE_tmhairhatbaseballcap_meshBlue CASIE_cmhairgibs CASIE_afhairhatcowboydome_straight - Texture differently mapped.

GameSpot and GameSpy exclusive clothing - Was available for download but not anymore. Extract the icons and cover them in all hair colors. Cover the braids and gibs hairstyle oddity in its own section.

Stuff that's never seen in normal gameplay or on NPCs, rendering these (mostly) unused.

Body Shop Hairstyles#

Though not unused, the game features a variety of hairstyles that exist in the game's files and are fully functioning, but are otherwise inaccessible to the player through normal means. They are all marked as CASIE, the internal name for the Body Shop, and seem to have a slightly "blockier" style from the final game. There are a few pre-made ancestrial sims that have these hairstyles however.

CASIE_afhairbraids#

While still technically accessible, it is otherwise unavailable outside of selecting a specific premade sim in Create A Family. Also worth mentioning is that this hair bears a striking resemblance to a hairstyle that is accessible without the use of debugging cheats. Veronaville Capp ancestor Calpurnia Caesar has this hair in her portrait thumbnail.

CASIE_amhairgibs#

Like the braids above, it is still technically accessible but the only way to really do so is to give a toddler the "puhairsimple" hairstyle (the short one with bangs) and age them up to a child. Worth mentioning is that this hair also bears a striking resemblance to a hairstyle that is accessible without the use of debugging cheats. Capp ancestor Octavius Capp from Veronaville and student Kevin Beare from Sims State University (from the University expansion) are the only two pre-made sims to have this hairstyle.

CASIE_afhairhatstraw_black#

Unlike the previous two this one is wholly inaccessible outside of the use of debugging cheats. This hat with hair style is seen on pre-made ancestrial sims Agnes Crumplebottom from Pleasantview and Julia Pantalone from Veronaville.

CASIE_amhairhat_bluebrown#

This hairstyle is technically accessible, but also inaccessible. It is otherwise inaccessible outside of debugging cheats, but the pre-made sim, Romeo Monty, in Veronaville comes with this hairstyle by default. Aging up the sim would cause an error in the game, due to the hairstyle only being made for teens.
