Summary

  • The Sims lacks diverse life stages, but compensates with adorable child outfits, from surf gear to goth dresses.
  • Embrace iconic childhood styles with overalls, wizard capes, and pink ensembles for a fun and practical look.
  • Dive into nostalgia with Space Camp suits and classic Denim Dresses, perfect for playful adventures in the game.

In The Sims, there are only two life states - Adult and Child. The lack of other life stages, and even of days off, can make the gameplay somewhat repetitive. Adults are stuck in the monotony of the rat race of work, while children are stuck in the never-ending days of school. What makes up for these identical days? Fashion, of course.

The Sims has some of the cutest outfits for child Sims in the series. These outfits range from silly to strange, classic to kitschy, but they're all adorable. Unlock your inner '90s kid in Create-A-Sim with these totally radical fits. These are the best outfits for children in The Sims.

10 The Surf Outfit

Hang Ten, Sim

Alright, it’s time to hit the waves. Surfing was the pinnacle of cool back in the early 2000s, and your child Sims can embody that coolness through this outfit. Orange swim trunks are paired with a jellyfish tank top and flip flops. What more could you want at the beach?

Remember to pack this look for Vacation Island, as that’s where your Sims can catch some rays and admire the ocean. Surfs up, dude!

9 The Pearl Outfit

Upper Crust Style

The Sims doesn’t have teenagers, so if you want to have a classic ‘mean girl’ Sim, you’ll have to go with this outfit. This outfit somehow embodies every overly posh girl you went to school with - right down to the fuzzy pink cardigan and the pearl necklace.

But fancy or not, all Sims deserve to have friends. Who knows? Maybe your next friend will be wearing this Molly Ringwold pretty in pink ensemble?

8 The Wizard Cape

Roll For Initative

The Sims was such a cool game that it even made things like wizards and fantasy cool in an era where they weren’t. This outfit is for all the Sims who’d rather play Dungeons & Dragons than football and soccer. It’s a pretty simple outfit on the surface - green shirt and jeans.

7 The Alien Sweatsuit

Out Of This World Fashion

Aliens weren't introduced until The Sims 2, but you can summon a fun, celestial vibe with this sweatshirt and sweatpants look. A cartoon alien adorns the front, its big bug eyes seeming to predict the aliens that torment Sims in the next game.

Kids love wearing shirts with cartoon creatures on them, and this cryptid outfit is great for that. This is a very quirky outfit that somehow manages to mix chill vibes with alien adventures - much like The Sims series itself.

6 The Overalls Outfit

Super Cool Stripes

If there was ever a more classic outfit for a child Sim, we don’t know what it could possibly be. This overalls and striped shirt seems to embody everything that childhood is - adventure, casualness, overuse of denim.

No matter if you’re kicking it Downtown or relaxing on Vacation Island, your Sims will be ready to go in this easy and casual outfit. It’s a big world out there, old buddy, old Sim, let’s get exploring!

5 The Gothic Dress

Wurthering Heights Jr.

The Sims has always had a layer of goth to it - and we’re not talking about the family. The gothic has been a part of the series since the start, what with the ghosts and the monsters and the wandering skeleton maids. This outfit for girls proves it.

4 The Pink Outfit

Pink Goes With Everything

If you were at all a Tomboy back in the day, you're familiar with this outfit. It was practically mandatory to choose this at least once.

This pink set of shorts and sneakers is a perfect look for those Sims who want to play rough and wild but still have some bright colors to go with it. A lot of the outfits for female Child Sims involve skirts or dresses, so this outfit comes across as super practical while still being cute.

3 The Denim Dress

Wild West Of Neighborhood 1

This adorable dress is the perfect denim outfit. The shoes provide a nice pop of yellow which is accented nicely with the yellow necktie. It is a mixture of a classic style while still being functional for play.

It also gives a bit of a cowgirl vibe, which itself is a very fun style for a kid’s outfit. Who hasn’t pretended to be Calamity Jane to rustle up some cows on the playground? No? Just us? Huh.

2 The Cassandra Dress

True Goth Style

This plaid dress is probably the most iconic of Child Sims outfits. This is the dress that Cassandra Goth wears when the household is first loaded. Like all things related to the Goth family, this dress quickly became connected to the character of Cassandra.

If she appears as a child in media, she’s probably wearing this. And for good reason - it’s a cute dress. It’s vintage, but not overly gothic, which allows for Sims of all kinds to copy Cassandra’s look.

1 The Space Camp Suit

The Ultimate Summer Camp

Remember when space camp was a big thing? The Sims does. Sim kids have access to cute little NASA-coded jumpsuits, which are a wonderful blast from the past.

If you look closely you can even spot a little space shuttle patch on the jumpsuit, which serves as a reminder of when the space shuttle was still operational. Man, this game is old. This outfit lets you live out your child fantasy of going to space - or at least of going to space camp.
