CUSTARD: Wrong Category/Age/Gender for Cloth or Accessory

CAS Part (Clothing) & CAS Part (Accessory) should not be categorized for all outfit types The third column in Custard tells you what they are categorized for. Custard does not show this as an error.


Downloads like this can be found in houses, Sims and households.

Custard uses abbreviation for age groups and gender:
  • Naked
  • Everyday
  • Formalwear
  • Sleepwear
  • Athletic
  • Singed
  • Career
  • All
  • b = Baby
  • p = toddler
  • c = child
  • t = teenager
  • y = young adult
  • a = adult
  • e = elder
  • m = male
  • f = female
No clothing/hair should ever be categorized for babies. Toddlers, children, teenager & elders can not be categorized together with another age group. Young adult/adult is ok. Some female meshes should not be categorized as male and the other way round.

Clothing that is categorized for all outfit types are not very good either for they show up everywhere.

Some clothing is categorized for pregnancy without the proper mesh, resulting in a missing baby bump. Custard does not show those, though.


Clothing that is categorized for Naked will show while your Sim is taking a shower or taking a bath. There are some clothing that is correctly categorized for Naked since they are tattoos or other legitimate stuff.

Makeup, etc is often categorized for all age groups. It's not necessarily a problem. Sometimes that CAS picture can look strange. Some are even categorized for babies but I'm unsure if that is a problem or not. If you create stuff, I do not recommend to categorize it this way but if you really like the makeup, it's ok to use it.

Hair can be categorized for teens and up and toddler and children separately.
