Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
Here's a little unexpected (even for me ^^) festive gift for you all :). I looked at the inspo photo and suddenly felt like that dress could be very easily done if I altered my 1830 mourning dress here and there - and I was right! From funerals through balls to weddings, your 1830s sims shall be prepared for all the most important life events now.

Hi everyone!
Every time after publishing something I think 'ok, that's enough Sims for this month', and yet I can't stop making new stuff ^^.
It's a simple recolour of my yesterday's Maggie skirt. As mentioned, the skirt should be recolours-friendly, but that applies rather to floral than geometrical patt...

Happy belated birthday @simstomaggie!!!
So! I know I said I probably won't make any 1850s/1860s pieces, but yesterday I learned that my friend and fellow simmer Maggie just had her birthday, so I spontaneously decided to finally make her a mid-Victorian skirt for which she'd been asking me for ages. As expected, it was a bit of a nightmare as nothing wanted to work proper...

Hi everyone!
This outfit was supposed to be a baby. Yep, you read that correctly. The queen of medieval conversions @simverses once figured out how one could replace the in-game baby mesh with a new one and asked me if I could make some clothes for it. And so I did - but when our Victorian baby was about to be shared, Nifty Knitting happened and completely changed the way the game handles...

Hello everyone, I'm finally back! Well, sort of.
Today I bring you something special: two 1890s wedding gowns, based on designs from, respectively, 1890 and 1894. Originally it was supposed to be a set of three dresses, but with everything going on in my life right now I can't see myself finishing dress no. 3 in any foreseeable future - and I really wanted this gift to be out this month/y...

So sorry! If that really was the case, here's a short explanation of why I suddenly turned silent ...

Hi everyone!
Here comes my second Simblreen treat and at the same time my first 1830s creation: an 1830 mourning dress. Yes, I know that the inspo picture clearly calls it a ‘walking dress‘, but the one I found especially for mourning looks almost exactly the same - and I decided to make this one just because I found it prettier... And less troublesome. I’m super glad that after all...

Hello everyone!
It's finally the time to share publicly the first of my Simblreen treats.
It’s a small collection of statues of different Slavic (= pagan) deities. All of the meshes come from Sketchfab: 4 were made by a user named Iliadus and one (Veles) by 3dhdscan. I lowered the polycount to make them all TS4-friendly, to ca. 10K. It’s still n...

Some time ago (two weeks? Three? Is time even real?) I received an ask if I could make an 1840s ball gown - and as I'm slowly but steadily falling in love with this decade (so little crazy deco! Such simple patterns!), I decided to really do it. Yes, it's the same skirt again, I warned you :P. Now that I see it right next to the inspo picture, I probably should've made it a bit fuller... Oh wel...
2020-10-14 15:34:13 +0000 UTC View PostWARNING: This mini-tutorial is to be considered experimental. In contrary to my main tutorial series, in this case I don’t understand the bigger picture and all the connections between different options. Still, I think it’s worth writing, as when I was struggling with it myself I found close to zero information on how to solve the problem on the net - in the best case some ...

Hi everyone!
I found a cute design of another 1840s dress (accidentally also from 1843) and thought it looks so simple that it should be easy to squeeze it somewhere in between other projects. Some fighting was needed after all, so it wasn't as much of a 'small side project' as I had anticipated, but anyway - it's done. This time with all levels of detail properly checked from the start ;...

Good evening everyone!
Here comes a remade version of the Slavic red beads which I originally published over a year ago. I adjusted the placement of the beads, so that they wouldn't clip with my Cuiavian winter outfit anymore, properly weight painted the 'Triple' and 'Lush' versions (I didn't like it moving stiffly with the neck, as it did till now) and changed the texture to something le...

Hello everyone!
Most of you probably don't know it, but today Germany celebrates a national holiday, commemorating the fact that on 03.10.1990, after decades of split into East and West, it once again became one country. And so I thought: when could be a better time to finally make that dirndl my fellow German and Austrian historical simmers keep asking me for? And why make only a dirndl,...

September is slowly coming to an end and probably you've realised that it wasn't my most productive month ever. The main reason for this is that I tried to concentrate on writing my tutorial, and while I'd say I was successful in it - published 3 new parts! - it took lots of my time and energy, not leaving much for any cc making. Another reason is that 2 projects I was most e...

I've been thinking lately of starting some kind of 'Crusader Kings controls my Sims' save and even made some preparations for this: I hoarded tons of medieval CC, built some stuff and played CK2 while taking tons of screenshots any time anything important happened. So, today, while looking through th...

Hi everyone!
A couple of days ago I watched a cool documentary about late XIX / early XX century painters from modern day Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and immediately thought it'd be great to have all those beautiful pictures in The Sims. It took me some time (recolouring is easy, but sooooo booooring!), but they are finally here, ready for you to download!

Hi everyone!
Lately I was working a bit on my decades challenge - more specifically, on my og sims and their background. I created extensive family trees for both of them, invented a whole bunch of new characters and in general was proceeding really well, but when I wanted to finally make those ancestors in game... I realised half of them have nothing to wear. And I quickly understood tha...
