The Sims 2

Hi,

To get all of the clothing / fashion items to be unlocked without using the cheats.

1st- You must talk to each of the Sims at all the lots up to 100% / or till you get the message that your Sim has unlocked a new fashion.

2nd - You have to do all the careers to unlock the clothes / fashions for that career.

Also please note, the cheat code for unlocking all fashions does not unlock all clothing / fashion items. One career hat will stay locked until you have reached level 10 of that career. So if you did use the cheat, you still would have one item locked.

Hope this helps.
Have a good day!

Abler2005 is right you have to get a 100% on each sim so that you can unlock clothing but I dont know about the job thing my sim never finished his first job and I have all the clothing.
