clothing:
Women must wear the traditional garments as seen in links above including the prayer cap (beanie substitution) white for married and black for single
men wear a dress shirt with suspenders and dress pants, shirt is linked above
girls wear the same traditional garments as their mothers as seen in links above
boys should wear a plain white or navy blue dress shirt and slacks - typically they wear the suspenders like their dad but i cannot find any for boys
boys and men shall wear a hat that resembles a cowboy hat in black
toddler girl and boy outfits are also linked above.
Rules:
Must live in newcrest and cannot travel outside of newcrest unless a teenager - you cannot speak to or have any kind of relations with anyone who is not amish while living in the amish community
when it is time to get marreid use CAS to create a spouse or you can put more Amish people around newcrest as townies
No electricty (that means no fridge, lights or normal stove), no indoor plumbing, no mirrors as they see it in vain to look in the mirror.
for lighting in your home use windows as it allows natural light in the daytime, you can also use candles and oil lamps.
you can make a kitchen with a wood burning stove but its all for looks as without a fridge the game will not let you use it so to cook you can use a grill and the fire pit if you have outdoor retreat.
the Amish do not typically have swimming pools, they just swim in the creek so if you want them to swim just make a different lot with a pool that they can visit.
You cannot use the phone and you cannot have a normal job, you have to live off the land.
men typically spend the day on the farm but since we do not have that ability in game they should help in the garden, fish, and build things to make money
women take care of the kids and the house as well as gardening. they can sell their fruits and veggies that they harvest to make some money as well as paintings if you so choose.
you cannot have a baby out of wedlock, if you do that particular sim is shunned from the Amish community and can no longer stay with the family or have contact with them, they are now apart of the rest of the world and can work and use electricty and indoor plumbing.
I have linked some bathroom essentials that follow the guidelines however if you have outdoor retreat, those showers should be fine since they are meant for outside.
Adoption is aloud and counts towards children requirements
Generations: Once you chose your heir for each generation, you may move non heirs out of the household and into another house following the amish rules. As teens your sims can use electronics outside of the household, this is the time they get to venture off and explore the world. once they hit young adult, its back to the amish comunity and no more electronics
