A question for Motoki / Problem solved thanks to Sagana
pioupiou:
I went in CAS and made some random sims until I have the outfit in question, I made a whole family with nice names such as teenfemaleundies.... :D
I cloned them in simpe and then open these cloned files in simpe. In the 3d referencing file where you can see the sims' clothes, the line corresponding to my "mystery" outfit was only the property set number (0xEBCF3E27-0x00000000-0x7F193A33-0x00000001 for the adult female undies for example) without all the text you found on the other lines (Category=Formal; Age=Adult; Name=afbodydresslongtwo_leopard (Property Set 0xEBCF3E27-0x00000000-0x2C17B74A-0x4CC775A7) for the formal outfit in this example)
Then I added my downloads/clothes/undies folder to the simpe filetable and reloaded the simfile.
The undies line was then : Category=Undies; Age=Adult; Name=afbodyswimwear_sportbikiniblue (Property Set 0xEBCF3E27-0x00000000-0x7F193A33-0x00000001)
So, even if I don't understand half of this, I came to the conclusion that these lovely undies are indeed custom content.
My question now is how do I found what file it is (without opening each and every of my undies files in simpe) and how do I correct it to make it show in CAS correctly ??

However, I remember getting involved with a discussion on MTS2 about a very similar incident.
I remember a similar discussion, I *think* here. There was one person who eventually discovered her husband had downloaded some clothes for her as a surprise and didn't tell her, but several others who (like you) had downloaded and deleted and they still showed up or who had downloaded some clothes that didn't work properly. I can't really remember too many details.

Well clothes that don't work properly are often when the maker releases the files from their project folder and not the finalised files from Saved Sims. I wonder if that could be it? If you put in an unfinalised file from Projects in someone else's game, the textures are still there but not readable. Maybe they would turn up at random on aging up.
You know - I'm not sure if you're not describing the same discussion. That would explain why I couldn't find it at MTS2.
Sagana:
Oh yeah, I think there was something about them being saved as project files... that sounds familiar too.
I can't find it here either though :) I can't think of good search terms... I went through 5 pages with just straight "clothes" as a search and gave up and that would leave out something called "lost clothing" or variations... and really, the thread could be named something totally not relevant...
PS: I think if they are project files, it might be possible to open them as projects and save them out properly. I know they're fixable somehow... I just can't remember exactly how.

I think there must be something to this affect because after more than an hour of searching through my undies files, I found those lovely pink undies shown in the first thread and the flag in the property set is 0, the creator string is 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 and the file is lacking the Binary Index I see in another undies file I opened for comparison.
So this file really looks unfinished.
But I don't really know what to do to fix it, except maybe clone a similar undies and past the texture in it.
I will try (and then sometimes I should go to bed it's nearly 01:00 am here....) and report back.
Pioupiou
PS: many thanks to maxon bitsy and sagana for pointing me in the right direction
