Description:

This is the Highland Army Kilt daily wear mesh for the extra-extra-large (fat) male, which is a "heavier set" man than the original game provided.  This zip file provides additional wear for what I call the basic 800 Mesh Series, which includes three skins, two uniform tartan colors and a formal, It also includes the pith helmet with the option of having it on or off at any time by changing his cloths with the dresser in Living Large or Sims Deluxe.  Additional meshes and skins will be available for this series.  The formal requires at least the Hot Date expansion to purchase items downtown.

How to Use Notes:

To use this set, place all cmx, skn, bmp files into the skin folder for the game.  These are custom skins and meshes and uses XXL as a different indentification from the standard original game designation of skinny (skn), fit and fat sims.  You will need the XXL Basic Set in order to use the XXL size when he changes to nude, swim, sleep or formal wear.  Other wise he will have a considerable weight loss when he changes his clothes, because the default body size is FIT and will not recognize the XXL body designation.  In addition you will need Hot Date for the formal wear.  While you are buying his clothes down town, the selections will be from the "Fit" group.  Go through all of the selections until you find the right body size for your extra-extra-large sim.

These cmx files will allow for his helment to come off when he changes his clothes using the dresser drawers in the Living Large expansion pack or higher.  The helmet was tested using the C002 bald fat head and might work with other heads.

Additional Credits to:

As all meshes and skins are derivatives from the original game "The Sims" by Maxis, I would like to acknowledge their work.  I would also like to acknowledge Sandra Linkletter, at http://www.drislink.com/slink/index.htm, who as far as I know came up with this great idea of mixing a female dress with the male formal and the basic layout for the "kilt" skin.  Being the perfectionist that I am.  I used my own body meshes derived from four different Maxis originals and did not use any of her "Scotsman" because her model still has female legs and the dress shape was not what I had in mind.  I did however use her clever gray socks in my skins.
