Unused accessories

An unused accessory are clothing/genetics that appears in a picture (usually a family tree or a storytelling picture) but does not appear in the game. This occurs in The Sims, The Urbz: Sims in the City, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, though it is much more noticeable in The Sims 2. There are a few examples of Sims such as Irma Oldie and Gertrude Beaker that appear to use these accessories. Another example in The Urbz: Sims in the City is that Mazuiko Jackson's and Bella Ciao's boots, Frag's belt and the Couture Twins second ruby/gold earrings cannot be brought by the player legally without use of any cheating device such as a GameShark. Here is a gallery of a few pictures showing Sims with unused accessories. It's mostly seen on females.
