Wearable Backpacks  

I loved that EA introduced functional backpacks for Sims in the previous year. Now, a Sim can carry many items with them. However, I missed the option to make my Sim actually wear the backpack.

After the release of "Growing Together," I took advantage of the baby carrier mechanic and created a wearable backpack for my Sims. I wanted to share it with everyone.

Please forgive me for the textures. I used the original backpack object texture to create a closed backpack, as the buy object is open with some books visible. I'm not good at creating new textures, but I like them as they are now, and I hope you will too.

You can buy the original backpack objects in Build/Buy mode, or your Sim can order one via the computer. You need to claim the object to make it wearable. The option to wear the backpack is only available if it is in the Sim's inventory.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the game to make Sims wearing a backpack put it down when they autonomously go to bed or shower. This is not possible with the current settings, and I don't know how to create a Python script to make it happen. Maybe in the future, I can find a solution. Until then, we players have to put away the backpack manually.
