1890s fancy coat for girls

A.k.a. Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 5

Hi everyone!

Here's another coat for your 1890s girls.

Now, if you're thinking 'but it looks exactly like the previous one!', you're not too far off - I did indeed use last week's coat as a base for this one, so the general shape looks very similar. There are, however, some differences: this one lacks that binding clip on the front, is in general a bit more open, has some more buttons, pockets, and, most of all, a two-layered cape. Or, to quote the official description, it has a 'pointed over-cape' which is 'handsomely trimmed with braid'.

It's definitely fancier than the previous coat + cape combo, which was so simple that it was even called 'military'. I thought having them both in game could help you make more individual sims. You know, like... Poorer or richer ones?

Just like the previous version, it should work for the whole decade, depending on what kind of sleeves you imagine underneath that cape ;).

It comes in 18 swatches, including a pure black one (one thing I learned: it's always a good idea to make a mourning swatch):

• Base Game compatible
• HQ mod compatible
• custom thumbnail, bump & specular maps, no shine
• tagged as casual and cold weather
• found under outerwear category
• PDN for recolours included - you don't need it for the mesh to work

Known problems: as with the previous one, the cape can look weird in certain positions. I did what I could, I playtested it and I think it works fine enough, but if your girl does something completely wild with her arms, it will look strange. I'm sorry for that, but I'm afraid it's the best I can do - and I guess it's better than nothing.

Hope you and your sims will like it. Enjoy and happy simming!
