New Ugly to Beauty video with a random sim that was randomly generated by the game.

My thoughts on Shang Simla

Thanks @thebleedingwoodland for tagging me in their posts here and here. Unfortunately I don't have much time atm, probably can't contribute much to the discussion. I'll try my best to explain my thoughts in the easiest and quickest way.

First, I never held much expectation for EA. Shang Simla is more like a friendly gesture to include Asian/Oriental cultures into Sims3 world. However, I never regard Shang Simla as a Chinese world, let alone any specific period. The minute I saw the torii ⛩️ とりい icon, as a Taiwanese visiting Japan many times, I knew Shang Simla would be a hybrid of most ancient (North East) Asian cultures even before sending my sims there. However, I don't think people back in 2009 had such high awareness or recognition for other cultures as we do today. They simply projected their impressions for the eastern world onto Shang Simla. So I would rather take this as a chance to introduce the right knowledge to simmers from other parts of the world.

What EA tried to present in Shang Simla is an ancient world, so honestly I don't blame them to provide the braid hairstyle from Qing dynasty. Yes, it is a symbol of repression, but it is also a historical fact. That's what people during that period of time would look like.

As for the outfit, honestly I think it's too much to ask, considering its 4000 year-long history and all the complicated details.

Yep, and that just covers the most basic types, there are numerous variations based on the occasion/age/social status/occupation...etc.

If you're wondering where those fancy outfits you saw on TV drama or games are, I would say they belong to the fantasy genre, like:

Note: for illustration only.

If you want to create a sims3 story with solid historical background, not fantasy or fictional, DON'T use these sources as your reference. Try googling artworks from that period, or related historical drama, those authentic ones.

Also, it's really important to notice the difference between Hanfu 漢服, Wafuku わふく and Hanbok한복. I'm no expert at these fields so I would only provide here the most basic types to give you a rough idea:

Ts3 CC creators I recommend include but not limit to:

Chinese: M&T 模拟人生单纯蛋糕店（M&T SimsCakeStore）/ 清霜童子@qingshuangtongzi

Japanese: kewai-dou / @m0m0-ka / @murfeelee / noiranddarksims

Korean: @amethyst-sims / ghostsyj

As for the martial arts outfit, the difference lies more on the sport events than nationality since there are corresponding uniforms now. For instance:

top to bottom: Judo柔道 / Karate空手道 / Taekwondo 태권도 / Tai Chi 太極 / Kung fu 功夫裝

Of course, the sleeve-less kungfu clothes EA provided is a big no-no, a modernized version apparently.

Last but not least, during the ancient period, Chinese culture had great influence over the neighboring countries including Korea and Japan. That's why you may find it very difficult to tell which from which sometimes. Hope the illustrations above can help.

To be honest, I rarely let my sims visit Shang Simla. It's a weird world to me. Too much nonsense I'm afraid. Most of the time, I tend to build my own version, with specific period and custom content to make it more authentic and realistic.

Oh and DRAGON! Almost forgot. I think this is simply because THERE ARE TWO KINDS of DRAGON. One spits fire while the other controls the rain, basically two different species I believe :D

Western dragon VS Eastern dragon

Gonna stop right here before making this post too long to read. Let me know if there's any questions. 😘💜

*Correction- Shang Simla is supposed to be a modern Chinese world, not an ancient one as I previously thought. I don't think of it as a modern world probably because, as we all know, modern life for Chinese people are not that different from the western one. In fact, Shang Simla should look much more westernized/modernized to reflect reality, even for a rural area. Besides, in the modern times only farmers wear bamboo hats. I can tell which hanfu style implies which period easily but I just can't really identify what period Shang Simla should belong to. To me, it's just a modern world with some randomly chosen Chinese / Asian / oriental elements.

Gamma’s Korea from Sims3.

I love Gamma’s Korea from Sims3. Gamma did a great job editing their house. Anyway, Gamma wishes she had more stuff packs for the Sims3. She wants high-end loft stuff and outdoor living stuff. I am still waiting for gamma to respond to my emails. I hope that she did not decide to ignore me.
