[Solved] WCIF/Request: Alemancia's Overcoat Accessory

I've had issues looking for cc that's been Female only, too ;; I learned this quick trick though, and it's been a lot easier since.
I made a quick tutorial on converting if it helps.

I wasn't sure what overcoat from Lumy_Sims you had in mind, so I picked this one for example purposes.

If you open up the file in Sims4Studio, you'll see something similar to the image below.
It automatically opens you up in the Texture tab, so you'll want to switch over to the Categories tab instead.


Once you're in the Categories tab, look under the Age & Gender Flags portion, and you'll see that the Male box is not checked.


Make sure the Male checkbox is marked, then click Apply To All Swatches.
This'll make it so the Male flag is enabled for all the colors available.


A confirmation box will pop up, then click Yes.


Scroll a tad further down to the Fashion Choice category. If you want the item to show up in CAS under either of the Masculine or Feminine fashion tags, you can decide to mark both, one or the other, or neither if you really want to. For this example, I'm going to mark it as checked for Masculine AND Feminine. Depending on what you choose, don't forget to hit the Apply To All Swatches button afterwards.


Then scroll alllll the way to the bottom to the Part Flags category. There will be a checked box saying Restrict Opposite Frame.
This is the primary thing stopping your masculine framed sims from using this piece of cc. 


Be sure to uncheck the box, then click Apply To All Swatches. Vola! You did it!
Just hit save, then place the .package file into your Mods folder if you haven't already done so.


Open up your game and it should be all set! I'm using my male sim Sebastian to demonstrate, his fashion preference is set to Masculine.
Since I marked the Masculine AND Feminine boxes in the Fashion Choice tab earlier, it'll pop up regardless of your sims' fashion preference.

!!! WORD OF CAUTION !!!
Sometimes unchecking the Restrict Opposite Frame box will cause a bit of distortion depending on what the cc is!

For example, I downloaded a long, off-shoulder dress that was enabled only for the feminine frame a while back. I followed all the steps from above, however when I opened it in game and selected it for one of my male, masculine framed sims to wear, their arms and neck became significantly thinner. Sometimes when creators make their clothing meshes, they include parts of the actual body mesh that are attached to the clothes. So basically when a sim wears said clothing when it wasn't designed for that particular body frame, it can get a little messy unfortunately. 

Luckily this won't be the case for everything of course!
I just thought I'd give a heads up since it will happen depending on what you're trying to convert.

Hopefully this all made sense!! I figured explaining the steps would help since you've already spotted a few pieces of cc you're interested in.

Once I learned this trick, I've been able to use a lot more jewelry cc, clothing, etc. 

If you don't want to do any of this however, then no worries!
The only other thing I can do is recommend searching through the male accessory clothing tag on Lana's blog.

Just a quick update... the above suggestion worked PERFECTLY! Thank you so much, foamimi! Xx
