The Sims 3: Clothing age conversion (how I do it)
Welcome! This guide is going to describe how I go about when age-converting clothes from Adult to Teen, in The Sims 3. Throughout it, there will be links to other, better, tutorials that explain things more in-depth. At the same time, I do NOT claim "my" method is the only correct one; it is simply my work process, learned from both experience, and people smarter than me.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!
