Let's talk about one of the problems with Modern Menswear
I read a few things about this full body outfit and thought I should bring you some information, so you can have more grounded opinions.
To be clear, I'm not trying to defend EA/Maxis, but I think it's fair that things be said based on more solid information.
Well, first I'll introduce for those who don't know this is The Sims 4's UV Map, each color represents the limits that each part of the CAS has available to texture the items.
And this is how the texture of the full body is originally:
In full body clothing there is usually more freedom on how to build texture, without having to stick to those limits.
Example of freedom in the texture of Bear and Bonehilda below:
To separate the top, I had to reduce the size to avoid conflicts with textures on the bottom.
You can compare it to the original image to get a better idea of what was made.
Particularly, I avoid changing the size as much as possible so as not to lose information/quality in the texture, maybe you've noticed that some textures look more blurry than the original piece when installing a new CC, this could be one of the reasons.
In the boot I had a little more difficulty, I'm not very experienced in 3D, so for me having to recreate the UV Map region is a nightmare.
I had to divide the texture into four so as not to lose quality, and I used all my knowledge of Tetris to try to fit everything into the space available for shoes.
With all that said, I understand some of the artistic choices they used to make the full body outfit this way.
While separating I saw that textures and meshes conflicted with some other pieces from other packs.
Making these pieces into a full body outfit might have been the way they thought it would work as expected.
I do believe that these pieces could have been released separately, but the same thing would happen...
Remember the lashes in hair update? Remember the problem with nail textures? At some point, some texture/mesh would conflict, full body outfit seem to have been the solution, which I don't quite agree with.
I hope I helped you understand a little bit how The Sims 4 textures work, I spoke based on everything I've learned so far.
If you are interested in knowing more and with much more propriety about it, I highly recommend you to read the Sims 4 Studio tutorials.
Thanks for reading.

Spooky Pjs for Adults: Perfect for your horror buff sims!
There were two pieces of cc that I had wanted to make that involved other creators and I decided they were similar enough that I could include them in a single set.
First, we have the second piece of cc in a row that has something to do with @just-g-e-o. I really liked his kids-to-adult conversion of that onesie kids get from various packs. However, it did not include the skeleton swatches from Spooky Stuff, so I got permission to do that myself.
Second, I really love this set of Simblreen Treats by @simdoughnut and I thought the Grim Freezer Bunny slippers from that set would look cute on adult sims, so I got permission to do that as well.
Surprisingly, doing these recolors was harder than you might think. I had do quite a bit of messing around to get the kid textures to look nice on the adult meshes. In the end, I really liked how these turned out and I hope you like them, too! The spooky adult sleepwear game will never be same again.
Both items are basegame compatible and works on both frames. The onesie shares the same swatches as the onesie from Spooky Stuff and the slippers only have one swatch. Both items have a custom thumbnail. The onesie requires this mesh in order to work.

It’s not too late to celebrate Hot Goth Summer in style with this cool, corset-back swimsuit! This is an edited version of the Bebe Rexha bodysuit that we got in the game from the Sims Sessions. I saw this edit by @just-g-e-o but it wasn’t for download, so I decided to just make it myself.
Last minute, I also made a a crop top version because people had asked me for it. They both have all the original swatches plus four extra ones: a true black, true white, green and pastel pink (because my gf asked me to). Also, I adjusted the red swatch a little because the color was kind of ugly.
Unrelated, I just love how the preview image turned out. Did you know you can use the pond tool to add water indoors? It makes for some really cool screenshots. You see more pics I took here!
Both items are basegame compatible and are enabled for both frames under the feminine fashion style. Each swatch has it’s own custom thumbnail, except for on masc. frames. Both items have 10 swatches and all appropriate LODs, speculars and normals.
