Why does an Icon dress like a football player?
ZephyrZodiac:
In my game, Keanu Broke recently reached the top of the Acting profession and is now an Icon. It really bugs me - in Sims 1 the Rock Star had a cool outfit to wear for work, but all poor Keanu gets is that rather boring tracksuit. Couldn't they be bothered to create something for him to wear?
And since Maxis didn't bother, is there some way I can find an outfit that would fit the bill and then assign it to the Icon?
Bane~Child:
This may sound silly, but what about an outfit from the Phantom of the Opera or some of the 17th century Frocks that I have seen?
I know Besen has some quality items at MTS2 (search: besen) and at her site: http://besens-sims2.e-sfk.de
In fact, today I saw a beautiful frockcoat in a blue and white recolor of Besen's mesh from the movie, Valmont at MTS2:

She also has Phatom of the Opera costumes.
Also, Sussi Friberg has always had beautiful, historical meshes. Some are at MTS2 (search: sussifriberg) and at her site: http://www.sussissogoodsims.com
At TSR, featured artist, de Anne, has the major cast skins for Phatom of the Opera.
ZephyrZodiac:
Thanks! I'll definitely check them out, although I've got a nice Victorian tuxedo from AllAboutStyle which might fit the bill too!
The problem is I don't know how to get him to wear it for work instead of the tracksuit - and if I get other sims to the Icon level, do I have to change it individually or does once work for all - in which case I'd better get something for the Females as well!
I do wish he could have spun an LTW for that though, as it is he's still trying to get 20 sims to fall in love with, which is getting more difficult now than I thought!

Well, there are tutorials at MTS2, that explain how to create custom careers that may cover this aspect:

Also, I know there have been some on replacing Maxis defaults for other things. Some of these are locked and I think SimPE will allow you to unlock them in the Object Data, but I don't know if this is the only place. I know AncientSim was trying to replace the default Maxis wedding gown for her bride that dropped dead at the alter, but I don't know what was decided.
Don't know if this will help, but Morague recommended it and she has unlocked a lot of clothing from the game:

Also, Morague has things at her forum at Variousimmers and some bits that may be useful at MTS2:

Here is the url for the SimPE tutorials, too, recommended by Carrigon:

Thank you, I'll have a look and see if it's within my ability to have a go!
