Vintage scales

As promised in the morning post, here comes my first piece of build/buy mode CC!

It's a conversion of a mesh found on the sketchfab page, originally by a creator named Gonya. You can find it HERE. Obviously, 99% of the credit goes to that person. My own input is minimal; the OG mesh was even low poly from the start, so there was no need for any adjustments. A perfect piec...

Personal update (a.k.a. Where's some new CC???)

 

Hi everyone!

You might have noticed that it’s been some time since my last CC piece, so I wanted to quickly let you know what’s going on.

You probably know that my main motivation for learning how to mesh and create my own sims clothes was that I couldn’t find anything appropriate for the 1890s decade. Now, a few pieces later, for the first time since half a year ago, I feel like I reached my goal: all my sims are dressed  properly... Which is a great ...

Cuiavian (Polish) Folk Outfit for Men

After some 2 months I finally made a folk outfit for my male villagers!

Everything I said about the female version still applies. Mid-north-west Poland, cornflowers, poppies. Cuiavian folk outfits quickly got out of use and disappeared completely after WWI - to the point where folk museums had problems even completing their collections, as the villagers had simply thrown their old garments away. Back in the 1890s they were still doing fine though, so I'm not going to miss this opportuni...

Parisa Bangs Shortened (v.2)

05.10.2020 edit: updated with new CAS placement and got rid of the weird shine (visible especially on lighter hair). Please redownload!

Note: the bangs are meant for Maxis match (clay) hairstyles. They won't work properly with most alpha hair. You can try it though, maybe you'll be lucky :).

I got some feedback that my original version of Parisa Bangs didn't work as intended for some people, so I decided to quickly remake them... with sm...

1897 Cycling Outfit + Hat (DU & 1000+ followers gift!)

04.10.2020 edit: improved the outfit to get rid of spikes in lower lods + updated both pieces with a new CAS placement. The hat is no longer hat slider compatible - I reached a conclusion that it makes no sense considering it uses hat chops. 

***

First things first: my Tumblr statistics claim already over 1000 people decided to follow my page - and it's just INSANE. Thank you guys so much!!! I've never expected so many simmers to appreciate what I'm doing in ...

1902 Rainbow Costume

04.10.2020 edit: improved lower lods of the dress, lowered the polycount a little bit and updated with a new CAS placement. Please redownload!

I know I promised no spookiness, but my sim just made this super creepy facial expression and it would have been a shame not to use it ^^.

So! Another carnival outfit for your sim ladies. This one is a bit more modern, as the design comes already from the XXth century. I was trying to stick as close as possible to...

1896 Twilight Carnival Costume

03.10.2020 edit: made the headpiece hat slider compatible and improved the dress, so that it wouldn't explode when you zoom out (+ smoothed the weights a little bit).

Happy Halloween everyone!

As promised, today I'm releasing my treats from the first Simblreen weekend. All 3 of them are parts of the same outfit, so I thought I'd be better to release them all together. I hope you'll like them!

It's supposed to be a twilight carnival outfit, based on...

Simblreen 2019 announcement

 

I’ve been mentioning it already for some time, but let’s do it properly for once: I’ll be giving away some treats during this year’s Simblreen! In case you don’t know it yet, we’re getting started on 18th October :).

The sad news is, that means I need to prepare some stuff in advance. So, no CC this week, not even a ‘small side project’. I’d love to share something at least next week, but... Well, we’ll see how it goes. I can’t promise anything.

Medievalish (?) apron as accessory

04.10.2020 edit: updated with new placement in CAS and medieval colour theme, improved the weights (= smoother movement) and textures, made hq compatible. Added 2 new swatches as well. Watch out: the filename has changed! Please delete the old file (Apron ACC) if you redownload it, as the new package won't automatically overwrite it (but will conflict in game).

The quality you'll see in your game will differ depending on your sim details' graphics settings, but if your ...

1895 TF winter dress converted for girls

I received some requests to convert my TF dress for girls, so here it is!

Comes in the same swatches as the toddler version.

HQ compatible, custom everything, no shine (it's wool, duh).

Known problems: the sleeves clip with the body if the sim is standing still. Looks especially silly in CAS. It's annoying, as it's the sleeves 'eating away' the body and not vice versa (which I'd definitely prefer). Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it - I tried sizing the sleeves ...

1895 Toddler Female dress for colder days

As promised, a very non-folky dress this time. For your toddler girls, as they need something to wear in the winter season as well!

I was aiming at a simsy remake of the 2nd dress from the top:

It's supposed to be made of serge, so I really used a serge texture as a base. And fedora for the frill at the front. No, not fedora hat, I mean the material those hats are made of. In any case, th...

Slavic-Style Red Wooden Beads

This piece is now obsolete. An updated version can be found HERE.

I told you accessories don’t count ;)

I don’t actually know how universally ‘Slavic’ those beads are (plus I guess there must be a number of non-Slavic people who wear them as well), but in Poland they are a HUGE thing. Heck, even I, a city girl through and through, have my  ...

Cuiavian (Polish) folk dress (AF)

I started working on this dress when I had literally one follower and I was sure no one cares what I'm going to create. Now I feel really awkward, as I bet you guys expected more pretty high-society dresses rather than Polish folk nonsense. Oh well. Here it is anyway :P.

If you google "Polish folk dresses" or anything similar, this dress will show only very late, if at all. You'll probably see mostly outfits from regions located around Warsaw or Cracow (I don't know how it is where you ...

1897 TF dress

A dress for your XIX century toddler girls, inspired by a real, 1897 portrait by Józef Pankiewicz. The sleeves are not as cool and crazy as in the original, as I was afraid of some major clipping happening in there; still, they are the biggest puffed sleeves I've ever seen on any TS4 toddler outfit :).

Also, the girl in the portrait is 7 years old, which makes her a child even by my long-toddlerhood standards... But I don't have any children in my game yet and before they age up it'll ...

1894 AF dress

05.10.2020 edit: one of the versions of the dress was exploding when you zoomed out. I don't even remember which one tbh, I just remade all 3. Updated them with a new CAS placement as well. Please redownload!

Watch out: the filenames have changed! Those are new clones/packages, so technically you can have both them and the previous version(s) in your game, but I don't really see what for :P.

This is just a 'critical error fix'. I haven't touched t...
