Hi! Hi! I have a bit of a history challenge question/request for advice? :) I'm wondering if you have any ideas rn of how you're going to dress your sims for the colonial/western era (thats the era im on, for me theyre just one era together though)? Idk the difference between colonial/western clothes and industrial clothes? Any advice? Appreciated even if not! :)

Hey dude!

At this point, I'm honestly not too fussed about getting cc together for gen6 + gen7 bc I literally just realized that I accidentally deleted most (if not all) the cc I had downloaded for gen5.....I take file folders of cc out of my mods folder periodically to free up space in my game for other saves....rip. I'm currently just going thru the motions of not wanting to redownload everything.....while also losing all desire to open the game at all!! Lol!!

HOWEVER

I don't want to be a total loser and I'm gonna answer your question! Kinda!

*Disclaimer: Ya' girl is not about total....or even partial tbh....historical accuracy when it comes to my HC! I love history and historical fashion, but I mix-and-match cc from all over the web nine times out of ten!*

EDIT: THIS IS ALL TOO MUCH AND DOES NOT ANSWER UR QUESTION LOL I'M SORRY

When I think colonial, I think puritanical New England/Quakers, with their bonnets, heavy shift dresses, boots and a penchant for detestable behavior! Tricornes and waistcoats also seemed to be very popular among men.

It's a bit hard to find cc for any gen that is set in colonial America, bc these restrictive fashions were defined by LOTS of layers! Petticoats, aprons, and lots of chest coverage (bc god forbid anyone knew u had collarbones, u filthy harlot!!) Lots of historical cc, while gorgeous (I love you cc creators thank u for blessing me w/ur creations) favor rococo/southern belle-esque aesthetics (obviously, bc they're much more aesthetically pleasing than layers of gravy-colored fabric)

!! Which u can kind of get away with bc these styles actually WERE seen and worn in colonial America

Really, what it boiled down to was where you lived and how much money you had. (And mostly, who your dad was.) If you have, say, a wealthy family (of garbage people), their daughter might be bedecked in gorgeous frocks and day-dresses like those seen above. If you have a poorer family (of different, but ultimately probably still garbage people), you'd probably wear dull colored dresses and drooping bonnets (and hope that a bunch of your peers wouldn't rat u out to the nearest church as a witch to get some sweet sweet validation and attention in general)

@historicalsimslife, @javitrulovesims, @budgie2budgie have some beautiful pieces that I think you could definitely work into semi-colonial looks!

I would link directly to some of my faves of theirs, but I'm on mobile! (Also, if you just scroll through sssvitlans 'historical' tag, you'll find some good stuff too!)

When it comes to western cc, there's sadly not a TON of strictly cowboy-driven creators out there! There are some, don't get me wrong! If you go through sssvitlans 'western' tag, there's some real winners that I downloaded without a second thought!!

Before I get into some of my inspo for cc hunting, please know that a lot of our perception of cowboys/the wild west comes from Hollywood and spaghetti westerns! And even though young Clint Eastwood is an entire snack and a half

he is NOT what most cowpokes looked like (not gonna get into how many cowboys were decidedly not white or straight but for the record, most of them were neither white nor straight lol)

Here's some Looks that I'm all about and that I used as CC-hunting inspo

Think neckerchief's, leather, vests, and trousers. Oh, and suits. Clothes in the Wild West were not mass-produced---if you needed new duds you had to make your way to a tailor. That's why you might see historical photography/films show their cowboys in suit coats/vests/dress pants....it wasn't for the fashion! It was because they were buying everything second-hand! The fancier the clothes, the harder to sell (if your main source of consumers is a bunch of guys who work long hot days out in the desert)....thus, the resell prices were cheaper

As for women! If she's out in the West, she's going for comfort and the basics---I mean, as much as she can with the restrictive fashions and general cultural/gendered norms of the day

Think muted colors, long skirts, belts, buttoned or high-necked blouses! There can be some overlap here with early Victorian looks, but keep it simple!

As for the industrial age, I honestly just consider that gen of the HC to be ripe for overlapping all the beautiful Victorian/Edwardian CC that the likes of @historicalsimslife and @retro-pixels have blessed us with! Corseted gowns, high necklines and beautiful hats!

I mainly look for inspo in the films I watch and the books/articles I read! Pinterest is a great tool to inspire some creative thought when it comes to CC-hunting. You might find the perfect blouse/trousers in a completely modern CC post. It just takes a little bit of a journey!

If u want like....a Wild West inspired CC lookbook....I could do that! I've actually been considering it for a bit lol

#idk why some of u angels seem to think i know how to be a simblr but thank u #i just throw everything and the kitchen sink into my game and hope it sticks lol #asks #nonsims

I'm in the mood for angst lol. If you don't mind, I'd like to request Zen, Jumin, Jaehee, Saeran, and V dealing with MC's death. I'm thinking probably sudden death, like an accident or a medical condition she wasn't aware she had, etc., but tbh I'm gonna leave all that up to you. ^-^

WARNING SENSITIVE CONTENT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

I got a little emotional myself so i had to put that there

it got a lil dark for me with V’s

I’ve never done angst before? I don’t think I have. But I’ll give it a shot, enjoy :)

Zen

He wasn’t there when he heard that had you collapsed. His heart dropped when he received a call from Jumin, his least favorite person, about the news.

“I’m a little busy right now. What the hell do you want, trust fund kid?” He muttered into the phone.

“This is serious, Zen. You need to come to the hospital on main street. It’s MC, she.. she isn’t okay..” Jumin trailed off.

“What? What happened?” Zen said.

“Mr. Han, she’s not breathing.”

“It says that she has a DNR on file.”

“I have to call you back. You need to come here, fast.” Jumin said.

The line went dead and Zen stood there.

“I have to go.” He said to his supervisor.

“But we still have one more scene to cover-

“This is urgent. My girlfriend’s in the hospital.” He says, grabbing his jacket. He bolted to the nearest train station, hopping over the turnstile.

He got there 15 minutes too late, baffling all the medical professionals with questions after a heartfelt crying session.

(Let’s pretend MC has that unspecified disease that Kaori had from Your Lie in April, if you’ve ever seen that anime before, yeah?)

He felt like shit, everyone was there except for him.

“I don’t understand. What do you mean she had a DNR?”

“You don’t think…that MC knew she was sick..” Jaehee inquired.

“Nonsense! She would’ve told me! I know everything there is to know about her!” Zen spat.

“The doctor’s said she was on all sorts of medications…that she was only prolonging the inevitable…” Jumin said, loosening his tie.

You both didn’t live together, how would was he supposed to know that?

Zen peered back through the hospital door window, before walking in the room once again.

You were laying their peacefully.

You looked weary and pale now, compared to how he saw you this morning.

“I didn’t even know.. Why didn’t you tell me? You didn’t want me to worry? Well, look at me now..I’m a mess.” He said, looking down at you.

He lent down to kiss your still warm forehead.

He stayed with you for hours, until he was forced to leave.

Funeral was too much

You didn’t have family so it was kind of just the RFA

Jumin

He was on a business trip when he heard the news

He had actually been begging to bring you along but you insisted that he went alone.

“MC, I’ll pay for your plane ticket and everything. You don’t have to worry about a thing.” He said, snuggling into you. Little did he know this would be the last time he’d be sleeping with you since his flight was in the morning.

“Jumin, I can’t just get up and come with you whenever you go on a business trip. Besides, it’s only for two days. You’ll be fine.” You insisted.

“But I’ll miss you too much.” He said, leaving kisses on the back of your neck.

“I’ll be here when you come back.”

Less than 48 hours later, you had died in a car crash.

He had landed in and been in Dubai for only 4 hours and of course he booked it back in minutes to see you.

“I just…I just saw her this morning…” Jumin said, biting back tears. “There’s no way she could actually be gone.”

When he got to the hospital he was more angry than grieving.

“What do you mean there was nothing you could have done to save her?!” He’s giving the doctors a hard time.

“She had died on impact, Mr. Han. Her car… it stopped moving in the middle of a main street. And then the truck just came and rammed into her. The weight of it came down, nearly scraping the whole upper half of the vehicle, along with her in it.” Said the medical examiner.

The funeral was the hardest for him

closed casket

He found himself sitting in front of it after the viewing when everyone left.

“You told me I’d be fine. I don’t feel fine at all right now MC.”

“You should’ve just let me bring you with me. I know how difficult I can be sometimes but I just want..I wanted to protect you.”

He’s a mess

I’m a mess

Jaehee

This one was some sort of freak accident.

She was there

You both went to the mall and there was this huge gas tank explosion that went off in one of the lower levels

There were reports of people who could smell gas but the staff didn’t move quick enough and a number of people died

including you

“Jaehee, I think we should save the shopping for another day. Besides, I’m getting a weird vibe and it smells like gas on the whole first floor.” You told her while you both were inside one of the stores.

“I agree. I’ll pay for this and then we can leave.” She smiled.

Every second counts, you both could’ve made it out of there if she put down the dress she wanted.

“We were both holding hands, walking towards the exit. And then suddenly there was this really loud sound..and lots of shaking. The upper floors didn’t hold up and started collapsing. That’s when she pushed me out the way.. and.. and..” Jaehee choked out in her hospital bed.

Zen was there to console her.

jaehee x zen

ill go home

lots of hugs for Jaehee

she’s too precious for this

Saeran

You had always been a bit on the wild side, something he wasn’t too fond of.

You recommended going hiking one weekend.

As usual, if he thought it would make you happy, he’d go along with it.

“Saeran, how about we go hiking in the mountains this weekend? I’ll even pack up a picnic basket with snacks and stuff.” You said cheerily.

“You wanna have a picnic in the mountains? Can’t we just go to the park like a normal couple?” He said, not really up for it in the beginning.

“That’s the first time you called us a couple!” You cooed, literally jumping onto him on the couch.

“If you don’t get off me I’ll take it back!” He spat.

“You don’t mean that! I love you so much Saeran.” You said, showering him with kisses.

He’s a blushing mess right now.

The weekend comes and you guys go out on your hiking trip. After a sunset picnic dinner you guys head back down.

“Are you sure we can walk on this bridge, Saeran?” You said, checking it’s sturdiness.

“It’s the quickest way down.” He insists. “See, the city lights are that way. We could go back the way we came but that’d take another hour.” He said.

“O-Okay..”

He walks ahead of you and you trail slowly behind him.

Believe it or not he slipped first, having one of his feet break through one of the wooden logs.

“Shit, my leg!” He cries out.

“Saeran!” You say. “Don’t worry I’m coming to help you!’

You run towards him, having several of the wooden logs break. The whole bridge collapses now, sending both of you towards the bottom of the pit.

Saeran survives the fall, having being cradled by a tree on the way down, whereas you suffer a different fate.

Your body hits the grounds, breaking your bones, etc.

It takes a while for Saeran to come to, before he climbs down from the tree with aching limbs.

He finds you there, no signs of being alive. He realizes that your gone and lets out an agonizing scream.

“God why?! She did nothing wrong! I’ve sinned far more than she ever could have!”

He spends the rest of his life thinking it should’ve been him.

Might never love again

V (Jihyun)

You two had gotten into a fight about god knows what

Being the stubborn person you are, you storm out of the house, leaving him to think about the issue

You turned off your phone, not wanting to be bothered

Of course, maybe 15 mins later he goes out looking for you

He hates it when you both fight, mostly because it took him so long to start loving someone again. You mended his broken heart and he couldn’t bare the fact that you were upset with him.

You were walking in the dead of night, nothing could be seen but the street lights and parked cars on the curb.

“I don’t like it when we fight either. Maybe I should go back home.” You say to yourself, deciding to turn back and go home. You knew he’d be willing to talk it out. That’s just how he is.

You’re walking back home now, thinking about what to say to him. You wanted him to know you were sorry, that you didn’t mean to yell at him. You were just angry.

Then, you heard a bottle roll behind you.

“Is someone there?” You say, whipping your head behind you. There was nothing. Nothing but cars on the curb. Or so you thought.

You were speed walking now.

You turned you phone back on and called Jihyun, who immediately answered the phone.

“MC! I was so worried about you! I kept calling you but it kept going to voicemail. Where are you?! Are you oka-

“I think I’m being followed. I’m scared Jihyun.”

“Where are you?! Go towards the main street with lots of people, okay? Find a store or a gas station!”

“I’m walking home. The main street is back in the other direction- where I heard the sounds.”

“I’m coming down the street right now! Keep walking. And don’t look back, they might attack you if they know you suspect them!” He says.

“Okay.”

You kept walking but the person behind only walked faster, grabbing you.

“Now, what’s a pretty young thing like you doing out here at this time of night?”

“Let go of me!” Swung your fists, dropping the phone.

“MC?! Hello, MC?!” He was yelling into the phone now. He jetted down the street, searching for you.

“Don’t give me a hard time now-AHH!” Said the attacker as you stepped on his foot.

You bolted down an alleyway, only to be caught at a dead end.

“Stay away! Dammit I said stay away!” You screamed.

Jihyun was running down the street he thought you were on.

“She should be here. This is the only way you can walk to get back towards the apartment.” He could barely breathe. He’d been panicking since he lost contact with you.

It wasn’t until he found your phone, with the call still going, that he assumed the worst.

“She must be this way then.” He said, peering into the dark alleyway.

He ran down the dark path, finding a man fondling your limp body.

“Get your hands off of her!” Jihyun snapped at this point, throwing a nearby brick at the man’s skull, immediately knocking him out.

There was blood everywhere, now a mixture of the man’s and yours.

He dropped to his knees, beside your body, cradling you.

“MC, wake up.” He didn’t sound like himself but he didn’t care.

You didn’t move.

He lent down towards you nose and mouth, and there was nothing.

His tears spilled onto your lifeless body and the longer he held you the more his hands became soiled with blood.

He was too late and he knew that.
