Hello!
I am so happy that this collection is finally done. Before I spill some of the issue that we're going to have, let me tell you what these are about. (At least please read the bold words, they are somewhat important :))
These are very traditional costumes that Indonesians wore long time ago (around 1920's and probably before that era). It's pretty amazing because almost each of the island here had different look when it comes to the costumes. The western part or Indonesia looks similar, they used cloth and wrapped it around the body, the more west, the more modest possibly got modernized earlier too. The center part is what I imagined as Indonesian's "Mori Kei" and what the people wore when the lands were still ruled by kings (before Indonesia). While the eastern part is the most interesting and amazing--in my opinion. Because the people in eastern part is genetically very different than the rest. People in the eastern part of Indonesia have strong genes of Polynesians (Austronesians). So, their costumes are a lot different. History is amazing.
Anyways, for this collection, I'm using a lot of Balinese and Javanese references. And also I added some reference from the Dayak tribe (a famous ancient tribe from Borneo island). Like the tattoos, they are real tattoo motifs from the tribe. I applied their batik pattern as well. You might notice that some of the clothing have really different vibe. Because they come from different island! Very interesting, no? (>^w^<)
Sorry for the long intro, but here's what you need to know about the problems that we would have.
As far as I know, the "Chief" short is the only one having problems. It won't break your game. It's just that it doesn't animate good when the Sim is walking. The mesh clips around the right leg. But overall, they look good when your Sim poses (normal standing pose). If you think you can fix it, go for it. Put them behind paywall if you will, I don't care XD (but don't be an a-hole by hiding them behind permanent paywall!)
happy simming!
