Just a tiny thing I made for my own game. This wooden shack (a world edit item) is actually a really cool and versatile BG piece, but shines bright like a diamond in the night - too bright even if it was a modern house, let alone anything historical. Now that I learned how to edit light maps (no rocket science tbh 😅), I decided to fix this problem, so that I could use it freely in all the se...

Hi everyone!
I've been on a converting spree in the past days and it looks like finally I can start sharing some of those objects I made for my own save. The first one is a beautiful (yet EXTREMELY low poly) wooden house, found on Sketchfab, originally made by PilotPirx (check the original 2023-10-13 17:29:11 +0000 UTC View Post
We're supposed to get hit by a heatwave tomorrow, so I'm trying to quickly wrap up some old WIPs before yet another forced TS4 break. This beauty comes from Sketchfab, where it was posted by a user named Dragonjojo - you can preview the original in here! I lowered the polycou...

I don't care much for infant clothing, considering it takes them only a couple of days to age up into toddlers, but even during those 5 or so days they still have to wear something. Lately I was looking at the available in-game options, trying to find anything which could pass for my Celtic sims if I squinted a little, and found this tunic + leggings combo. It would be perfect, actuall...

The moment I saw this gorgeous gown I knew I had to try to remake it in more Iron-Age-y style. It was just too perfect! And so - here it is. With a shortened hem, covered décolletage and non-gathered, slightly trumpety sleeves.
Recoloured in all 40 swatches of my Iron Age palette. Polycount: ca. 9K. Disabled for random, tagged in the right categories, custom specular and bump ma...

Every time I look at Sifix' creations I cry a little bit inside, as they're all so beautiful and yet completely not suited for any of my gameplays - be it Victorian or Iron Age. Last time it happened I got determined to find at least a couple of meshes which maaaaaybe could work if I tweaked them just a bit here and there, and dyed them in era-appropriate colours... And indeed, I did find some!...

Based on some Internet research and certain photos I took in the ancient village of Biskupin some... 16 years ago? 17? My my, time flies... I created a colour palette to use for my Iron Age creations/recolours. 'Iron Age' in a very broad sense - you could as well call it 'natural dyes palette', so you can safely use it also for many later eras.
Includes 40 colours.

Just a silly thing I made for my own game, and campfire-related again (I warned you!). Because if your sims' diet consists mostly of roasted fish, and if you take lots of screenshots, including pretty close-ups, sooner or later you're bound to notice that the original fish on a stick looks rather... Well...

Would you like to make your game a bit harder? Constantly worry that your sims might starve themselves to death? Or just add another touch of realism? If yes, look no further! Those add-ons are guaranteed to turn your TS4 into a survival simulator and give you a decent amount of frustration and stress :P

First things first: let's fix a bug which makes playing in the Iron Age... Well, maybe not impossible, but very tricky.
Have you ever tried to use a campfire with the Simple Living challenge on? You know, the one which makes it so that you need all the necessary ingredients to be able to cook (came with Cottage Living, I guess)? I hadn't, for a long time. And then I have. And realised, to...

It's been 1,5 years. Wow, how the time flies!
You might have seen me lurking around on other simmers' tumblrs/patreons, writing a comment or two every now and then, but only now I feel like the time has come for me to return to my own space.
Here's a couple of announcements to get things re-started. I bet you're all busy, so I'll try to keep it short!
This post has been scheduled. I'm still very much on hiatus :]
Surprise!
We interrupt the hiatus to bring you part 1 of the Emma Collaboration Pack: a set of regency items - mostly pretty dresses - by Peebs, Bats fr...

Just popping in to share some of my basic CC making resources with you. By 'resources' I mean simple meshes in era-appropriate shapes, but without any specific details. That means you can (relatively) easy remake them into whatever you want. Just a bit of knife here and there, some texturing, maybe some uv map adjustments and you're done!
Way easier than making a whole ...

Hello everyone!
It took me some time, but it's finally here. The one thing I've always been saying that I want to make and yet I constantly kept postponing it: 1890s dresses for girls! As in my whole 'career' I made only one such dress, and a long time ago, I thought it's be nice to create a mini-set this time - you know, as a small goodbye gift. To fill the gap and give your little sims ...
2021-07-12 16:22:54 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to let you know that I'm still here. The piece I promised for June got delayed a bit, but it will be released eventually, don't worry! I could publish it already now, but I thought it'd be cool to make something special for the big farewell - like... A set? A mini-set? Even if it's just 2 pieces, it's still something extra... I don't want to make any huge promises, as it all depends...

Hi everyone!
The moment I saw this beautiful dress from May 1896 I knew that as soon as May arrives, I'll have to make it. I feel like I still didn't do those sleeves justice - they are too extra to replicate them properly! Still, I think those are the biggest sleeves I've ever seen on a TS4 outfit, so mission at least partially accomplished.
I started off with striped swatches, per...

I think the time has come to share some big news with you all.

How I disappeared in January and February, and mentioned while answering some tumblr asks that I might have to stop creating content altogether? Well, at la...

Hello everyone!
Here comes a little late Easter gift for you: a shiny 1895 dress for your vintage sims. The inspo picture shows the model in nature, so I assume it means it was supposed to be worn outside, as a walking/promenade dress. It comes from an 1895-97 collection - pinning it down exactly as 1895 is just my poorly educated guess, as I had to settle for something. I'm so g...

Hi everyone!
Here comes another dress for your sims, inspired by a fashion plate from the very first day of 1890. To distinguish it from the previous one, I call this one 'the hornet dress'. Guess why ;)
Comes in 26 swatches - mostly rather darkish, as the original was designed for winter:

Hello everyone!
The lack of vintage hats is sad, but the total lack of Victorian hats for non-adults is just depressing. I don't know about you, but I have literally one hat for girls in my game which kiiind of works - but it's pretty weird that every single girl in my save wears it. And as lately I feel rather like creating simple stuff which doesn't require much work (like, you...

One of my biggest pet-peeves when watching others play the decades challenge (please don't hate me for it, I swear it's more of a 'sigh, again' than 'lmao you moron, what are you even doing') is when people put their 1890s sims in clearly Edwardian clothes, because 'it looks simpler'.
