The Best Outfits For Children In The Sims 2

The Sims 2 was the first game in the series to give Sims a proper life cycle. No longer were Sims static beings, with adults that never grew old and children that never grew up. The introduction of different life stages made raising a family fun.

Kids have always had a more limited range of outfits than adult Sims, but that doesn’t mean they’re entirely lacking options. Whether you’re making a new Sim in CAS or desperately trying to fix the random outfit your child aged up into, there are plenty of clothes your little ones will look adorable in.

Dragon Onesie

It’s Not A Phase, Mom!

In later Sims games, your children could go through a phase where they would want to wear a full-on costume all day, even to go to school. Sadly, that’s not the case in The Sims 2, but you can still dress them up in fun outfits if you want.

This adorable dragon onesie comes in four different swatches, each of which is available to child Sims of all genders. We promise not to judge you too much if you let your kids go to school in these. They look amazing, so what’s the problem?

Turtleneck With Scarf

Gear Up For Sweater Weather

When The Sims 2 introduced weather to the game with its Seasons expansion, it created a new “outerwear” category for Sims. Sims who once ran about freely in shorts now had to put a sweater on, lest they feel nature’s wrath and freeze to death.

For kids, this meant a set of adorable turtlenecks and scarves for all genders. There’s a variety of different colors available, each with its own cozy scarf that we assume was knit offscreen by a loving family member. It’s a great option if you need something basic and cozy-looking.

Raincoat

Rainy Days Just Got More Stylish

The Sims 2: Seasons was the first expansion in the series that introduced weather to the game. In addition to changing other aspects of gameplay, this meant that Sims of all ages would need seasonally appropriate attire in order to stay warm and dry. Enter these adorable raincoats.

The raincoats are available as outerwear for Sim children and can be found in a variety of different swatches. While all genders can wear cute little raincoats, certain options are locked to specific genders. Regardless, you’ll probably find the right coat for your little one.

Pajamas With Paws

Rawr!

There are plenty of cute pajama options for your kids, but this one takes the cake. The matching top and bottom would be unremarkable on its own, but the addition of the cute paw-shaped slippers elevates these jammies into something special. Are they bear paws? Monster claws? The world will never know.

Children of all genders can enjoy these pajamas, available in four different color swatches. That’s enough for most Sim families to give each child their own personalized set. If you needed a way to make your Sims’ bedtime fun, this is a great way to start.

Overalls

A Classic Fit For Kids

Overalls were popular as children’s attire in the 90s and early 2000s, and it’s not hard to see why. They can be layered on top of pretty much any shirt. They’re practical and comfortable to move around and play in. If you need an outfit that screams “I’m a kid!”, this is it.

There are plenty of swatches available as everyday attire for children of all genders. If you’re not sure what you should dress your kids in, this is a great place to start. With so many options available, you can have almost half a dozen kids dressed in overalls before you start repeating outfits.

Pirate Costume

Ahoy, Matey!

The Sims 3: Generations introduced a costume chest for child Sims, which enabled them to LARP around the house to their heart’s content. That item isn’t in The Sims 2, but there are still plenty of costumes you can dress your child Sim in if you don’t feel like regular clothes.

These pirate outfits are available as everyday attire for child Sims of all genders. Now every day can be Talk Like A Pirate Day if you believe in yourself enough. After all, there’s no way to tell whether the Simlish isn’t also pirate-speak.

Sporty Shorts And Layered Tees

It’s The Aughts All Over Again

Extreme sports and their accompanying fashion were all the rage in the aughts. Every child with even a single athletic bone in their body was salivating at the chance to become the next Tony Hawk. Skater fashion, in comparison, was fairly low-key: lots of layering, graphic tees, and baggy shorts.

This nostalgic fit is available for boys’ everyday attire and comes in five different colorful swatches for you to choose from. Now you can send your son to school dressed for success…assuming you want him to get a leg up in the Xtreme career track.

Layered Dress With Jacket

The Coziest Outfit Your Kids Will Ever Own

The later expansions of The Sims 2 started introducing more layering and cozy fits to the game. It was a great way for players to create more down-to-earth Sims if they wanted. More importantly, cute outfits like this jacket and dress enabled players with Seasons to create fall and winter ensembles.

There are three swatches to choose from, with some implying a more handmade garment than others. It’s also a subtly witchy garment, making it great if you need to dress your witchy Sim’s children in an outfit that doesn’t break the family’s aesthetic sensibilities.​​​​​​​

Tank Top And Jeans

Y2K Nostalgia Is Here

If you were a girl in the late 90s or early 2000s, you probably had at least one outfit just like this one. Sure, there are other tank top and jean combos in the game, but it’s the little details that make this particular version the best.

The distressed jeans, rolled-up cuffs, and little handkerchief all show that these fits were designed by someone who understood what it meant to be a fashionable child in the aughts. There are six tank tops to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that suits your needs.​​​​​​​

Sleeveless Hoodie With Boots

Sporty Yet Stylish

Sleeveless hoodies are a prime example of fashion’s supremacy over all other considerations you might make for an outfit. Sure, the whole point of a hoodie is to keep you warm and secure, but that’s what makes hacking off the sleeves cool. By extension, this outfit is also too cool for school.

Okay, maybe not literally: your child Sims can still select this as part of their everyday attire. There are only two swatches available, but they’re both great for child Sims who want to be both sporty and fashionable. They even come with their own matching boots!​​​​​​​
