i know the mortifying ordeal of being known ect ect but what about how much of a gift that can truly be?
people are reminded of you when they see something you love the same way you are reminded of them, the baristas at the coffee place remembering your order, getting to be the kind stranger that made someone feel a little better on a bad day.
each time you go out, whatever you touch, whatever you do, can have an impact on someone. while that can sometimes feel like the scariest thing in the world it's a huge part of the gift of being alive

a 'little' request that i fulfilled over on the simscord! @cinnamonsims' vera dress converted from ts4 to ts2, and paired with @trillyke's labyrinth stockings + @jius-sims' canvas platform sneakers! a beautiful dress for you to style your sims with 🥰
the outfit's entire polycount was close to 30k (criminal...), but i managed to cut it down to just 7346 polys. there's still some black spots remaining (largely visible on the shoes and straps in bodyshop, but otherwise i'm super proud of how everything came out! the dress is for tf-af only, tf is repo'd to af, and all morphs are included! it's categorised as everyday/formalwear.
DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🌟
credits go to @cinnamonsims, @trillyke, and @jius-sims for the original ts4 meshes & textures of these items! plus to @paluding, whose sim tattooer i used to convert the stockings 😍
THINGS TO NOTE
every single part of the body is a separate group. i did this because i wanted it to be easier to make recolors, but if that annoys you as a creator it should (theoretically) be possible to combine the dress, shoes, and socks groups together and layer the textures on one another, since they use the ts4 uv map.
expect some clipping/unclipping issues with the legs while walking. i did my best and it's not as visible as it used to be, but the legs can and will pop out from under the skirt.
SWATCH
if there are any issues that you find with this dress, please don't be afraid to let me know! happy simming, and when you download this, do keep in mind,

Expressing a concern and they get mad at you for being mad at them
You're always the one in the wrong even when you were the one being hurt
They use grandiose words and phrases to assert dominance
"walking on eggshells"
They continue to do the things you asked them to stop doing even after countless times asking them
They don't care about how you feel
They make no effort to acknowledge your feelings or acknowledge how their behavior is affecting you
They force you to participate in drugs/alcohol
They hold their power and good deeds they have done for you over your head and threaten to stop helping or support you or even take back what they have given you
They are physically aggressive/ violent
Rage
Rage during substance use
Touching you without asking
Downplaying anything you need as not important
What to do:
Take a deep breath
Take your time figuring it out
Remind yourself this isn't your fault
Stay focused on the behavior- because they WILL try to detract from it & turn it around on you
Gather your resources
Consider leaving or cutting contact
Consider therapy or online support groups to help yourself breathe and find safer spaces for yourself
Have an exit plan
Do not engage with the arguments & emotional bait
Cultivate your privacy
Cultivate your security
Cultivate yourself a safe space
Prepare yourself for the backlash
Ask someone safe to go with you
Call someone safe and ask them to stay on the phone with you if you do not feel safe
Self defense tools like pepper spray & brass knuckles
Know you're worth the exit
Take yourself seriously when they dont
Honor the gut feelings
Restore faith in your judgement
Honor your voice
Honor your body
Honor your "no"
Ask for a pause- "I need a break."
Ask for clarity- "Can you clarify that?"
Ask what their intentions are- "Are you being helpful or hurtful?"
Bring attention to the behavior and how it's making you feel- "I'm not comfortable with the way you're ignoring my concerns."
Make direct eye contact & deepen your voice- "You need to stop."
Do not apologize

Hope this helps!

it's finally done! 🎊 to the (multiple people) who requested this, i'm so sorry for taking so long to finish it up, but hey--it's here now, just in time for the new year! i hope you enjoy this conversion of @syboubou's enchanted dreams kids' set as much as i enjoyed making it 💓
there are 25 new build/buy items to delight your littlest and not-so-little sims, all low to medium-poly. this set features not just my first functional playmat (showcased above by babble broke!) but also a functional toddler bed cloned from one of @themediocresulk's, a one-tile crib cloned from @hugelunatic's, another monique's hacked computer, and much more! peek below the cut for the deets 👇
DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🌼
credits go to @syboubou for the original ts4 meshes & textures, @themediocresulk for the toddler bed as a pet bed (but for toddlers) that i cloned the toddler bed from, @hugelunatic for the one-tile crib that i based the wicker stroller off of, enjatoki (deactivated?) for the playmat mine is cloned from, and anyone else whom i've probably missed! 🥰
DESCRIPTION
Originally by Syboulette for TS4, converted to TS2 by nonsensical-pixels. Part of the SYB Enchanted Dreams Bedroom Set.
THINGS TO NOTE
The Crib has no animations, owing to its shaping, so expect clipping when babies are put in and out.
The Changing Table has no trash can attached, so expect some awkwardness when sims throw trash into the void.
The Computer functions as a Monique's Hacked Computer and requires the files from it to work.
The Dresser is repositoried to the Changing Table.
The Playmat is FULLY FUNCTIONAL and functions like the Baby Mat from the TS2 Store.
The Trash Bin is completely decorative.
The Wicker Stroller is cloned from a 1-Tile Crib by HugeLunatic and is functional! Only babies can be placed inside.
