I've both downloaded and created many clothing age conversions. I can't tell you how much I hate that little custom content star. I've seen a couple of people do it, but how do you get rid of the star and replace it with whatever expansion pack flag the original thing came with.

On a similar note, has anyone figured out how to do the repository technique with clothing? I found out that Maxis did it with the awful solid colored pjs, one texture for three different age meshes. That would be really helpful for my next project, it also would save space making it extra spiffy.

Thanks guys!

Well, question 1 I don't know the answer to.

Question 2 is simple: Create your multi-age recolours and have them done, non-repositoried. In the material definition for the age you want to be the repository, that is, the "parent texture" copy the stdMatBaseTextureName line. Paste that line into the corresponding line on the repositoried items, that is, the "child textures", commit, save. You can then delete the textures in the files for the repositoried items and because of the material definition pointing at the parent texture, it'll still work just fine. Just make sure you put big, bold, and prominent NOT to delete whatever age you have as the repository or the other two will stop working.

Thanks for your help HP!

We'll see if it works.
