1843 AF day dress

03.10.2020 edit: updated with new CAS placement

02.09.2020 edit: It turned out the dress had some nasty problems with lower LODs, which should be fixed now. Please redownload! Hopefully now it'll look fine from any distance :)

Hi everyone,

It's been some time! I'm sorry for that long silence - first we got hit by a heatwave, then my PC stopped working, and then, when I finally could work on this dress, it turned out to be an absolute nightmare. I don't want to bore you with details, but let's just say that I learned a lot about rig slots and positioning sims' arms :/. Anyway, after almost a week of adjusting stuff and pulling out my hair - here it is! An 1840s (1843, to be precise) day dress for your sims.

Comes in 66 swatches. Yes, I went totally crazy this time. Are they all era appropriate? Probably not. Do they still look cool? I'd say yes. Here's a small preview of some of them (because I'm apparently not crazy enough to take screenshots of all 66 ^^)

All patterns come from www.colourlovers.com and belong to their respective creators - thank you all very much for sharing them!

• polycount: ca. 8,5K
• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible (…still hoping)
• all LODs
• custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, some gentle shine
• tagged as everyday, party and warm weather
• found under long dresses subcategory
• colour tagged
• allowed for random
• PDN and PSD for recolours included

I haven's spotted any problems (or rather: I have, but I think I managed to get rid of all of them), but if you see anything, please let me know! I swear I don't bite (well, at least as long as you're civil ;) ).

PS. Bonnet used in the previews by Linzlu, you can find it HERE.
