Hello everyone!
It's hard to believe, but I've just reached another milestone today: over 3000 followers on Tumblr! 3006 as of now, to be precise. Thank you everyone so much!
I could see this day approaching already for some time and thought it'd be nice to make something special to celebrate it. And what could be a better gift than the o...

Hi everyone!
As you might have noticed, in the last patch EA made lots of lights off the grid compatible. Lots... But not all. They forgot this beautiful tree with hanging lanterns, which most definitely shouldn't need electricity to work, but still does. Well, by some miracle I managed to fix that. Now it should work properly even on off the grid lots. Good for all our hippie sims!
It's an override, i.e. a default replacement of the original tree. I didn't change anything else ex...

Hi everyone!
Here comes another simple thing: a conversion of the Cuiavian folk outfit for girls. Nothing big, but it's my first female adult to child conversion, so it's still a new milestone! Converting stuff for girls is a bit trickier than for boys, because you have to readjust the chest area. Once again, big thank you to Ingeli for her shrinking tutorial - wow, I didn...

Welcome to another episode of 'I have no time for proper meshing, so I'm just making quick stuff instead'.

Hi everyone!
It's been a busy month so far, so instead of meshing something new I decided to give one of my first creations a quick upgrade. Originally I planned just to replace the textures of this folk dress with HQ ones, but, of course, I got caught up in the process and remade half of the mesh as well (-.-).

Hi everyone!
Lately I received an ask about vintage nightshirts for boys - if I could make one or if I know where to find one - and I realised that indeed, it's a much needed item for historical gameplay. Actually, it made me recall that I was struggling myself with sleepwear for my eldest boy since he aged into a child; for now he's been sleeping in a girls' nightgown, but it looked... Let's just say, not ideal. So, for the first time ever, I decided to really make an outfit s...

Hello everyone!
Here comes another winter coat for your Victorian boys.
This piece has a kind of funny backstory: when I just started working on my previous coat for boys and felt utterly unmotivated to do it, I went to our Sims of History Discord, posted my reference pictures and whined a bit about how ugly and uninspiring they are. That's all it was supposed to be: a bit of whining, to get the frustration out... But the...
2020-04-09 10:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
So... Apparently my last 'fix' of the 1895 coat broke one of the swatches (the last one, in pale pink, to be precise). Good that it was exactly the one I wanted to use, so I noticed that problem at all! Having a bunch of working swatches and only one broken one is a pretty weird bug tbh - my guess is that the package file got corrupted while transferring it from my old PC to the new one, as I couldn't even open that swatch in S4S.
Anyway: it's repaired once again, thi...

Back when I was looking for inspiration for THIS gown, I accidentally stumbled upon a morning robe for men and thought - hey, why not? I know we got a kind of similar one with Vintage Glamour, but somehow I can't get to like it, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to make my own version.
The design comes from 1898, but it should be usable for maaaaaaany decades. Could even pass as contemporary. Bas...

Hi everyone!
Winter is slowly coming to an end (finally!) and so is my winterwear project (finally!). It's still not the last cold weather piece I've got planned, but it is the last one for men. This time it's supposed to be an ulster, so basically - according to my very professional and in-depth research - just a very warm & thick winter coat (some pages claim that ulster means a coat with a cape - idk, this...

Hi everyone!
Here comes my quickest creation ever - done in a couple of hours. If only all pieces were that simple! It's basically a top from my 1st winter coat for men, with a different collar and some small adjustments, so that all those buttons would fit in all the right places. Oh yes, it has buttons as well!
You're of course free to use it any way you want, but in my head it's a jacket for poorer sims. I mean, it's twice shorter than ...

Hello everyone!
Here comes another coat for your ladies. This time it's a tad older, as the design comes from 1891 only (you can still see some slight remains of the 1880s bustle - you're definitely supposed to notice rather the butt/skirt than the shoulders). It will be perfect if you've jus...

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 t...

Morning everyone!
Here comes another 1890s coat for your male sims. As you can see, even though it's made of wool, the cut resembles rather a suit than a coat - therefore, I'd say it's appropriate mostly for fashion victims, whose main goal, even during winter, is to look as handsome as possible. Or just for any sim who's impervious to cold. That's why my today's model is a famous snob from Oasis Springs, Malcolm Landgraab ^^.
Comes in 15 swatches (same palette as last time + 2 ne...

Here comes part 2 of my late XIX-century Polish paintings' collection. Same authors as last time (I think only Ms. Bilińska didn't make it this time? Apparently she wasn't much into landscapes...), same price (1455 simoleons), base game compatible.
Just as in case of pt. 1, the main collection is divided into 3 packages: 1869-1889, 1890-1894 and finally 1895-1900. And, just as in case of part 1, there's also a separate package with 'narrow' paintings; this one has di...

Hi everyone!
I got a bit tired and frustrated with difficult CAS stuff, so I decided to do something easy and unproblematic for once. It's a simple recolour of BG pictures; I kept the original frames and replaced the pictures with a selection of works by late XIX century Polish painters.
I went for Poland as I needed something my sims could potentially have access to, but they should be pretty international. I chose almost exclusively portraits & landscapes, no 'our glorious m...

Hello everyone!
It's part 3 of my Vintage Winterwear collection. This time a little something for your 1890s girls!
The original came from 1895, to be precise, but kids' fashion wasn't changing as fast as adults', so I think it should work for almost the whole decade. The only difference would be the sleeves - extreme puffs for, let's say, 1894-96 and small to zero puffs for anything before and after that period. Actually, I planned to make 2 versions of this coat, puffed and "un-...

Men need something to wear in the cold season as well, right?
It's a cosy, woollen coat, I'd say appropriate for medium-rich male sims, whose priority in winter is first and foremost to stay warm. Basically, for anyone who lives in Windenburg, especially in the countryside ;).
It comes in 13 swatches - mostly your usual browns and greys, but I tried to include some more colourful options as well. Here's a small preview:
