Please redownload the adult version if you downloaded it before this edit! Make sure to remove the old version from your game, as the fix will NOT replace it.
-----
I was going to convert this only for teens initially, but decided to make more changes after taking a look at it in CAS - namely:
- making a plain version;
- making a new control map that recolors the (previously unrecolorable) stencil;
- rearranging the channels (and adding one);
- adding maternity morphs to all age groups.
So, in the end, I ended up remaking both the adult and elder versions (also reshaped the meshes a bit while I was at it).
It's a lovely dress, but the way the channels were assigned really wasn't doing it any favors!
It took a bit to create a new control map?then the teen version was finicky in terms of bones?probably because I got lucky with not having to adjust the bones for the last two conversions lol.
Now there are three control options, as shown in the previews:
1. stencil is removed and turned into a design with recolorable areas - 4 channels;
2. version with unrecolorable stencil - 3 channels;
3. plain version (no stencil) - 3 channels.


- For teen-elder females (separate files).
- The adult and elder versions are from the Boardwalk Attire Store set, but they are NOT required and these won't conflict with them.
- All versions can be found under Everyday, Formal and Makeover. They are enabled for maternity but NOT enabled for Random.
- 3 presets: with recolorable design (4 channels), with stencil (3 channels), plain (3 channels).
- Custom thumbnails.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
