Seasons Texture Referencing files

Info

Here is a bunch of very tiny files that will make a lot more clothing (especially outerwear) available for you to choose from, when playing with the Seasons expansion, including Texture Referencing files for my ageconversionmeshes.
All clothing except some sweaters and unlocked ones are only categorized as outerwear, adult textures are also available for young adult if you have University.

These files reference the ingame textures so you must have the Seasons expansionpack installed as that is required for the files to work.

DR and TRfiles are such nice tiny sized packages that will take little space in your downloadsfolder, and are great for slower computers too.
My CAS and Bodyshop look so much cleaner now, I even sometimes couldn't find out what the new clothing was anymore, because without that custom star it looks like regular Sims2 stuff ! And, as this clothing is now also townie-friendly, it is possible townies will wear it too!

Downloads are in the comments with an explanation about the content and what it gives you.


Installation

You can place the DR-files =Default Replacements and the Texture Referencing (TR)files in your Downloads folder, but be carefull !! the delete button will be enabled in CAS and Body Shop.
Do not remove/delete this clothing in CAS or Bodyshop as that can cause damage to some of your game files and you may have to make a re-install!
All clothing has the proper expansionpack label and will be found in your clothing bin between the other clothing of the Seasons expansion pack.
All TRfiles are clearly labelled as TR (Texture Referencing) with the color, so you can carefully choose which files/colors you want installed. Hover over them in Bodyshop CAS and you can take note of the ones you want to take out and delete that from your Downloads folder.

If you want to be sure you don't accidently delete files like this, you can place them directly, or make a subfolder, in the following location and put the files there instead of in your Downloads folder. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins (or whichever is your highest expansion pack folder). Or here: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Highest Expansion Pack You Have\TSData\Res\Catalog\Skins
On my computer that worked for the DRfiles, not for the TRfiles, but maybe it will work on yours, seems it much depends on what other stuffs you have installed.
