OK, I'm wondering if there is a way to change the order in which clothing appears in the catalogue so that my sims stop showing up in medieval outerwear. I can buy regular outerwear for my playables, but I have EA created clothes that appear at the beginning of the catalogues, so all my NPCs and Townies are switching to medieval garb every time they go outside and it's making me nuts.

Is there an OBJD or something that can be changed in SimPE to move these clothes to the bottom of the list, or do I just have to delete them entirely from my game?

You don't need to delete them, you can just use a clothing hider. I believe Wojtek made several of those. If the clothing order in the catalog is the same as that of BodyShop, then the order can be changed, I just need to remember which number controls it...

edit: It might be "sortindex" in the BINX, but I haven't verified that.
