Were one to happen to be traversing around Andravi Valley, they would encounter a distressed cry in the distance. Closer examination leads to a panicky Rtawahist student currently combing through the tall grass on her hands and knees.

"No no no no why now of all things...where could it be?? I was sure I dropped it somewhere here...please no, how am I supposed to finish my assignments now?"

A whimper escapes.

"I'm going to fall behind and then I'm never going to catch up! I'll have to postpone my graduation!" Maybe she could drop out to save herself the embarrassment, no what is she saying, dropping out would be even worse!

"No no no no I will never be able to forgive myself if that happens! I- eep!"

It was at this point that Layla realises she wasn't entirely alone. Someone else had unwittingly stumbled in and witnessed her self-pitying mumbling. Colour stains her cheeks in embarrassment.

"Sorry! I didn't mean- I didn't mean to disturb!"

Mix-n-match medieval men

Time for a default dump! And an ungodly amount of rambling! You’re welcome!

Elders use the adult shape for everything. This is a general rule for anything related to elder men by me.

cutopshortsleevecollar (set to M only), tmtopshortsleevecollar,   amtopshortsleevecollar, amtopshirtpolo and emtopshortsleevecollar replaced with Andravi’s Ren, Tate & Blake as tops by Winter on Silivain’s top-only alpha tunic. Most ages get 15 recolours, am gets 17. The extra 2 are the only 2 tops in the ‘Blake’ style. I combined some duplicate textures to reduce the file size, beyond the usual texture referencing I always do. (Actually now that I think of it, I haven’t released any of those... I have a backlog because I’m lazy with previews, but I want you to at least see what you’re getting.)

There were quite a few unused recolours so get more of em here if you wanna :)))))

More previews of the defaults under the cut + the download.

tmtopnaked,  amtoptanktop and  emtopdressshirt replaced with some of AlmightyHat’s Aelia Autumn recolours of FantasyRogue’s top-only tunic. There’s 9 recolours for am, 8 for em, and 6 for tm. I’ve also included a ‘completer’ for tm, meaning the 3 recolours I didn’t use in the defaults, plus the corresponding child recolours since they’re repository. I recommend checking Hat’s post out for even more colours if you like an abundance of choice!

tmbottomboardshorts,  tmbottomkneeshorts,  ambottomlongshorts and embottomlongshorts, also known as “all shorts” for tm-em replaced with @vampirekiss6661′s multi-boot bottoms, specifically the ArisSkirt recolours. All ages get 9 recolours.

FYI, @asimplevampire​ has already defaulted ambottomlongshorts over here. I do like them, but I like the idea of having all the shorts defaulted together better. Also I straight up forgot.

tmbottompantscuffsboots,  tmbottomtightpantspointytoe,  ambottompants,  ambottomwillpants and embottompantssocksshoes replaced with @vampirekiss6661′s multi-boot bottoms, this time the Rogue version. All 6 original recolours get used, and all ages get 6 recolours. Thanks to rudhira for the default package I used as a base.

tmbottomcargopants and ambottomcargopants replaced with (you guessed it!) the final version of @vampirekiss6661′s multi-boot bottoms - ArisJacket. 4 recolours for am (enabled for em) and 5 for tm - they get Gold as the extra.

Delete the “unmerged” folders if you want all the defaults. There can only be one! Which are unmerged are a bit random but make sense to my scatterbrain. I use the merged packages but figured that since they exist I might as well let you have the choice.

The files are compressorized, there are text files with info (chaotic info, but still), and even previews included (gasp!). I decided to keep the meshes in separate packages, but they’re included.

I used at least @ello-sims, @rudhira and @lottie-sims‘ default packages as a base for mine, but I didn’t think to note down exactly whose packages I uses for which until literally the last one I did. Sorry. I didn’t extract any resources for this project. Just a buttload of clicking and double checking my progress and making sure everything works. I also colour coordinated the shortsleevecollar defaults for some reason. I think I did it so I wouldn’t be lost, but who knows honestly. What am I, a mind reader?!

Yeah thanks to everyone whose work I relied on, one day I hope to be able make my own meshes and textures. That day is far away.

THE HOUNDS OF WINTER- 6 DEFAULTS FOR AF/TF

It’s that time again, folks. In honour of the late unlamented Polar Vortex -- and of winter coming to my town of Pondhollow- I bring you five default outfits from Seasons (plus a bonus) for AF and TF!  

AF/TFBodySnowbunny replaced with Enbliththefair's Dark Project RenGal surcote (with TF mesh and four custom RCs by me).  

AF/TFBodyParkaBoots replaced with Yuxi’s Russian Wrap in three colours by @biohole and two by Sleepyrose. (TF mesh by me, because I couldn’t find a conversion for love or money.) When Biohole put these RCs up on PlumbobKeep, they asked that someone default AFBodyCowlneck with them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that- but I hope these work anyway!

AFBodyCowlneck replaced with @yandereplumsim‘s gorgeous Lady Winter. Yeah, this is why I used the Russian Wrap for something else- I neeeeeeeeded these coats in my game. Just look at them. look at them. they’re so fluffy I’m gonna die.  

AFBodyJacketDuckBoots replaced with Cynnix’s TSM Corset Dress in @ophidiae​‘s Feast Day textures (and one of Penelope’s Chambermaid textures). You know how the pink JacketDuckBoots is the mesh the game picks whenever it tries to find a mesh that doesn’t exist? Well, I used the white Chambermaid retex for that. It stands out nicely in the catalogue. 

AFBodyRainslicker replaced with @jellymeduza​‘s conversion of Aligeth’s Robin Hood, in three of Andravi’s Beautiful as Me textures.

BONUS: AFBodyDaisyDress replaced with @godlimpingby​‘s Epic Sleeves Gown, in Sherabim’s Heart of the Forest and Requiem textures (with some slight edits by moi to get them to match the sleeves). Now, uh, the reason this is a bonus (and an H&M replacement rather than a Seasons one) is that the Epic Sleeves Gown is... well... 

With sleeves this long, there’s guaranteed to be some clipping. The dangly bits can clip through the body, the arms, each other... it’s just how the rendering works. That being said it looks great in motion- it’s probably one of the only sims meshes that looks better moving than it does at rest. I love it enough that I’m willing to overlook its faults, so I defaulted it, but if you are not so inclined, steer clear of this one.

All of these outfits are available for Everyday, Formal, and Outerwear, and all but AFBodyDaisyDressBoots are available for Activewear as well. (Because... I mean... you could do jumping jacks with the EPIC SLEEVES gown, if you wanted to wipe out an entire county...) All of the AF outfits are enabled for YA and EF, and all meshes have the appropriate morphs. If something has a custom RC, I’ve included the mesh in the file, but you won’t need it to use the defaults.

In the words of almighty-hat: THESE ARE DEFAULT REPLACEMENTS; like Highlanders, there can be only one. YOU WILL NEED SEASONS for all of these defaults to work, and YOU WILL NEED H&M STUFF for the Epic Sleeves Gown.  

For my custom RCs, I used some textures from the Skyrim mods Common Clothes and aMidianBorn’s Book Of Shadows; for my custom meshes, I used @withlovefromsimtown‘s .WSOs. Thanks to all the creators who made these possible! You guys are amazing and your hard work is very much appreciated.

Exercise Iniohos 2019

The first Iniohos exercise was held in 1988 as a small exercise for the Hellenic air Force without any foreign air forces participation. In 2013 it was decided to enlarge the exercise to make and first invitations to other air forces. This results into a single base multi country air exercise with dissimilar air assets.

Andravida AFB (LGAD), in the west of Pelopponnese was chosen due to its…

Basegame medieval(ish) defaults for pf and tf (TS2)

 After redoing my medieval defaults (with the inclusion of hiders this time), there were a couple modern clothes I still needed to get rid of, so here we have an eclectic collection of defaults: one pf outfit, and separates for tf.

Info, pics, download under the cut.

Download link to the defaults are at the bottom of the post and I’ve linked to the custom versions.

First off, pfbodyshortsleeveslongpants replaced with Andravi’s recolours Six Tartan PF Mourning Dresses on one of Cocomama’s meshes.

Second, tftopjeansjacket replaced with AlmightyHat’s Sweetheart top, mesh is Skell’s Matchmaker top. The first three tops are just BG tops that I couldn’t be arsed to crop out of the swatch :p

Next up we have tfbottomhipmicrominiskirt and tfbottomhipflarepantsboots replaced with AlmightyHat’s Weeping skirt, mesh is “Oph3lia's shoe-swaps of a Jaccirocker skirt“ (quoting AH here, sorry. I am not a thinker.)

I’ve included them both as separate packages and as a combined package since they use the same mesh. Don’t keep all three. You can only have one default per item, and they’re the same anyway. All three packages have a mesh.

Skirt swatch:

Pants swatch:

Lastly, a replacement that’s maybe not quite medieval, but it’s good enough for me: tfbottomminishorts replaced with @rented-space​’s MDP 4t2 long skirt separated.

Files are compressed, everything is included in the package.

Now that that’s all out of the way:
