Those of you who found me from my Victorian CC may not know that I actually spend most of my time over on Youtube! My Victorian Sims Challenge in The Sims 2 has been running for roughly 4 years and has brought so many of my favorite people into my life over on the Discord.

Just delighted to have discovered how to select vertices in the 3D panel! This is allowing me to functionally actually snap body part edges to the mesh itself, which is going to eliminate those little bits of body that stick out of the mesh with movement. Queue having to redo all my meshes!

4t2 @historicalsimslife's Matron Dress

The moment i put it on Isabella Monty, i knew i needed this dress for all my sims 2 matrons (specially her), so here we're now. The dress comes in all the original 20 colours, a swatch is included with the download. The dress comes for Adults and is enabled for Elders and is categorised as Everyday, Formal and Maternity.

I also converted the Sims 4 Base Game EF 15 Fabric Flat using the textures by @dancemachinetrait from their Pemberly Collection, specifically the Jane version, i just adjusted the colours to match the dresses a bit better.

⚠️ This is my first 4t2 conversion, and even when i played around with the mesh in my game and didn't saw anything concerning, if you notice something, please let me know.

A sneak at one of the most beautiful sims my game has ever churned out! Who knew Julian Price's son would look like this? Can't wait to explore more of Raphael's chaotic personality in the next Victorian Sims episode!

Work absolutely exploded in my face this month. I'm working on crawling back out of my hole and making time for my hobbies again. That includes accidentally making abominations like this gal!

I eventually got her looking like an actual dress by the end (just need to make some adjustments with texture and UV mapping). Aren't the ruffle sleeves so fun?

Chinoiserie!!!

I have for you today Earlham: a chinoiserie style wallpaper made by de Gournay and set into Simlin55's Trianon panels. It comes in 20 different colourways and each colourway is between 4-5 panels

Some of the names for the colours do not make sense to me but presumably they make sense to de Gournay

I've two download folders, one has every paper in a big file and one has every colourway separated so you can just take your favourites

Made some major progress on this mesh after having to table it for a month or two. Basically had to construct the capelet from a different shaped cape altogether because the bone assignments refused to work. Phew. This has basically been a team effort with folks over at the discord!

Another 4t2 conversion for our boys! 6 colors from @simstomaggie adorable Fitzwilliam suit for CM.

While the knees are grey in these photos, that has since been fixed so that they are skin tone. No need to worry! I was just too lazy to retake photos lol.

An everyday and outwear conversion for TF and AF 4t2! I'm pretty happy with this one. Still a lot to learn, of course, but I think the texture from @theroyalthornoliachronicles's Honorine dress is just stunning!

Enjoy!

Okay, this 4t2 conversion was a doozie, and it still isn't close to perfect. But I think this is as good as I am capable of getting it for the moment. While there are some imperfections to this conversion, I will 100% still use it because boyo outfits are always lacking. Besides, we can't let @simbury do all the heavy lifting, can we?

For some reason the vertices around the lapel and jacket had big gaps when I imported it to Milkshape. It was truly a nightmare getting this together, but I just loved @theroyalthornoliachronicles's TS4 version so much that it was worth the energy.

Doing my darndest to hook up our boys in TS2!

Huge thanks to @criminalmiik for figuring out how to delete extra body vertices in Blender. This hack has completely changed my life (and my vision--god, hand picking vertices in Milkshape really is a headache).

TS2 Nectar Bar Revised

Default / Recolours

Download: SFS | BOX

I've included two default replacement files - bar mesh only AND mesh & textures & nectar bottle (all in one).

*Texture layout is unchanged. Recolours will also work with original nectar bar mesh.

I highly recommend this fix/mod by @jellymeduza that allows to pick up and drink nectar placed on tables etc. And also this mod to let Sims fulfill drink-related wants when using nectar bar.

More pics & info under the cut:

Mesh & texture default contains a few other resources, one extra recolour and Nectar bottle mesh that has been remapped and linked to bar texture (original bottle has its own texture).

Mesh-only default also contains more resources, but no bar textures - it will change the bar shape, shadows and the non-recolourable glass. It works perfectly fine with recolours like these by @shastakiss . But please note it won't work with Shasta's default as that one also contains GMDC resource.

New bar is more compact and a bit lower than original so it can be fully covered by counters. You can access bar options by clicking on the bottle.

Enjoy!

*I've also shared Nectar Bar tray and tumbler replacements here & here.

Something for the kids! Today, I bring you a 4t2 conversion for CM. Much thanks to @theroyalthornoliachronicles for the original Nuit Garcon nightshirt/pajamas for boys. I think I've done a much better job deleting unnecessary body parts from this outfit from my previous. We're learning as we go, folks. Comes in 6 colors--one original to the TS4 version, and five from the historian palette.

Oh I need this in a million recolors! Hint, hint @simbury

Great success! The first of many sets from TS4 I have planned to convert. Everything aside from the framed cameo is functional, with a custom broken state for the kerosene lamp. Huge thanks to Maya40 for her assistance with the broken glass for that object.

DOWNLOAD As always, everything is labeled and compressed, and please alert me to any issues. Originally created for TS4 by MeadowSims here, with my greatest thanks for making an antique camera!

The third in my series of Victorian-ised debitcard lots, this is North Bruner Terrace Redux

Set on a 4x4 lot this is the largest and the most opulently decorated and furnished lot in the series so far, these Sims have money and they aren't afraid to show it. On the ground floor is the kitchen and four reception rooms; library, study, dining room and drawing room/ballroom. The first floor has four bedrooms in addition to the vast master suite, currently arranged as a nursery, a twin, a double and a small morning room and there are a further four bedrooms in the attic which I've decorated as basic servants rooms.

The lot has been playtested and seems to function fine, sims aren't too fond of the pokey servants stairs but I haven't found any other routing issues.

I will be compiling a CC list of anything that doesn't ship with the lot at some point but do drop me a message if anything is blue and flashy, I hope your wealthy Victorian sims enjoy their home!!
