The Baroque period saw a softening of women's fashion, with the silhouette becoming fuller and higher waisted. Leg-o-mutton and three quarter sleeves added a billowy upper half to dresses. Shimmering soft satins and tonnes of delicate lace trimmings were all the rage. Necklines continued to broaden, eventually even falling off the shoulders in some styles.

The sun king

On TSR X

I think this outfit works perfect for 1650-1700.

It made me think of Louis XIV also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King.

Year 1600 Part 1:

The Century began with Matilda and Cuthbert becoming teenagers. Both of whom were deeply cared for by the ones close to them. Susanna became an adult though she wanted more time to think on getting married.

Rachel learned she was pregnant after she and Rodrigo finally decided to begin trying for a baby. Of course, her jealousy began to run rampant much to Susanna and Rodrigo’s disappointment as she was constantly watching over them despite them not doing anything improper.

Far away, Henry Akiyama married Benedict’s cousin, Mikaela, though no one in the family was present, he did send a letter to Henford to let his siblings know that he was still alive and was willing to consider reestablishing contact.

With the good news of Henry potentially returning, the Carlisle home in Tartosa was still full of grief as they continued to mourn Thomasin’s loss. That said, Thomasin did visit though no one was awake to see her, she was happy to see her children beginning to grow up well.

The Jaleel family and the Laurent family had always been close ever since Wilmot was the nanny for the previous family head so it was no surprise that their children would also get to know each other. Still it was a shock when John III proposed to Clemence and the two announced they had left town for a week and eloped shortly before Clemence’s eighteenth birthday.

I really needed new community clothing racks so here are some more !

They use the “Sophisticated Suits Hanging Clothes” from TS4 Dream Home Decorator, with the BG cheap rack, and OFB hangers from the rack’s empty state. Animated, have an empty state, and two of them are repo’d to the first one. Rack/Hangers are repo’d to the BG/OFB cheap rack. All original TS4 textures merged with the master file. From 1600 to 2400 polys.

Download : SFS

poke @sims4t2bb maybe ?

2023/06/08 : fixed a hole in the meshes

2023/06/09 : fixed blue thumbnail and removed uneccessary texture files

This is the beginning of round 4. I will play the original families for 1 more day if needed, because adults are almost about to age up [at the beginning of the round they had ~8 days as adults left].

I decided to play the Gardiner family first, because I wanted the boys to age up. I had some plans for Olga Leila too, but there was a rather unfortunate ROS… It was not even the worst ROS, but my luck turned out to be terrible. It was a body skill dependent ROS and I believe I rolled 1 out of 11 [she had 7 body skill points], so it was just my luck. It was scenario #40 I’m the Highwayman. She was attacked by a man who wanted to steal her coins... but she had nothing on her, and she was murdered. Her brothers are devastated, as she was taking care of them from the young age. I’m going to say the ROS was connected to what I said before – that the war would have some consequences and there would be some ‘enemies’ trying to rummage lands.

~*~

They earned around 2000$ this round, and it was at the very beginning of the round, really, as I needed them to get some money to plant some maxis plants again, for the last time this season circle, as winter was coming. They paid the taxes immediately, as well.

600$ – tax.

1000$ – rent.

= 1600$ to the Royal Treasury [total in Treasury = 118,500$]

200$ – tithe [Church’s total earnings = 19,600$]. They owe burial fees to the Church.

~*~

As children, the twins wanted to get Creativity skill points, because they had played on the xylophone when they were toddlers, but this family was too broke to get easels, lutes or anything, especially taking the ROS into consideration. I couldn’t even really get them another proper bed and they had to sleep in turns on their parents’ double bed, and on the couch.

I feel bad especially for Ronan, as he seems fixated on improving his Creativity. Declan at least got some different wants, like going fishing. Ronan didn’t learn to talk as a toddler and maybe now he has trouble communicating his wants to the family or he isn’t convincing enough for them to get him the hobby items [I believe in TS4 children can ask for new toys, so I’d say he failed to do that].

~*~

Castor grew up on Wednesday (he was rolled to be a Romance sim) and Olga Leila was sadly ready to depart from this world. I only realized later that it makes little sense for Castor to be a Romance sim. He got Family-oriented TS3 trait before. I might give him Family secondary, maybe... Castor got his teen trait, and he turned out, being Inappropriate. It could be due to the fact that their father was diagnosed with some mental issues or because their sister is dead and mom – permanently bedridden. He has maxed out Nature enthusiasm and is on the way to becoming the perfect heir for the gardening business, as he has a Silver talent badge already.

Twins aged up at the very end of the round. They are Knowledge [Declan] and Family [Ronan]. Castor is 4 days older than his twin brothers, which is not much of a difference. If I decide to move the brothers onto their own lots, they won’t be played this rotation anymore, but if some lady wants to have an affair with them, they’ll be available.

Declan is a Great kisser, Coward, with Green thumb, and No sense of humor. He will have a winery, if I manage to get the mod to work in the spring season.

Ronan is a Socially awkward, Inappropriate sim with Good sense of humor who Loves the heat. Loving the heat makes sense, as they are from a family for whom the colder seasons were really difficult. I don’t really know what to do with him yet, but he seemed quite into Creativity, so perhaps Pottery (both maxis and the new Sun&Moon set).

~*~

Eustacia and Cyprian Carbonneau came over [it took Cyprian out of the family bin!], probably because Eustacia wanted to visit her old BFF as she hasn’t heard from her for a long time – and maybe they wanted to buy some vegetables. Unfortunately, Hortensia is pretty much a wilting vegetable at this point, but her children kept the guests company at least. It makes sense Cyprian arrives, as this is the round when he’s coming home! Unfortunately, Leofwine Gardiner is never coming back...

~*~

It started snowing during the last days of autumn already, but they managed to harvest some stuff at least. There is nothing to do in winter on a plantation really, so Castor will probably try to find love.

I think the grapevines bugged out because I had moved them from another lot (inspecting them doesn’t show any pop up, so I feel like something is up). I also had some invisible objects on the lot and had to nuke them. Hopefully the lot itself is fine though, as it had a grave on it, and I’d rather not fiddle with that.

Keep Warm Collection Pt. 2 🔥

Sure, it may still be the heat of summer where I am, but who doesn’t love a good fireplace all year round? This is Part 2 of my ‘Keep Warm Collection’ of converted fireplaces! You can find Part 1 here. I’ve converted four additional fireplaces from The Sims 4: Parenthood, The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs, and The Sims 4: Snowy Escape, as well as a fireplace from the base game that was edited by plasticbox over on ModTheSims. I also threw in the portable heater from Snowy Escape, the heat lamp from The Sims 4: Dine Out, and a radiator converted from The Sims 2! The latter three objects have had their fire effects removed, but they still glow orange when lit.

Note: The Mythic Patio Warming Lamp may or may not be base game compatible. The base is a cloned fireplace from Into the Future, but it still shows up in my game with only the base game enabled (I’m on 1.69). Apologies for any inconvenience!

Fireplaces

Brick Fireplace: three channels | §1950 |

East Egg Elite Fireplace: three channels | §2200 |

Victoriette Fireplace [by plasticbox]: four channels | §1600 |

A Whole Lotta Fireplace: three channels | §750 |

"Gather Round” by Heated Exchange: two channels | §185 |

Mythic Patio Warming Lamp: two channels | §395 |

Preg-Morphing...because I can.

I play TS3 with sometimes ridiculously-long lifespans (Like, YA+Adult = 1600 days or so), with realistically-proportioned lifestages. This also means proportionally-long pregnancies, though they "find out" they're preggo relatively early, the equivalent of when real people generally find out, which is long before they start to show. This means I want pretty much all of my clothing to be available for maternity for both sexes, teen through adult, because I want them to be able to wear whatever they want at least until they get all beached-whale-like.

Since the Smooth Patch (and the fact that I have the game installed on an SSD now) made CAS loading sooooo much quicker, I went on a clothing download spree so that I can have lots of variety for all clothing categories. And now I'm preg-morphing everydamnthing because I can't be bothered to remember what's morphed and what isn't. And also, some stuff I already had uses different morphs, meaning that separates don't always "line up" properly, so I wanted to make everything have the same pregmorph so that I can mix and match freely. So here we are. Thankfully, it literally takes maybe a minute to morph/re-morph a mesh because of the magical Mesh Toolkit.

Anyway, I thought I'd share, for interested parties. It's likely that doing so might break some TOUs, especially when it comes to T$R creators, but...Eh. Sorry, not sorry? Most of them haven't made anything for TS3 since the cash cow TS4 came out, and if they'd just morph their stuff themselves, they wouldn't have this problem! It’s easy enough that I can do it, so surely they can!

So yeah, if you're into preg-morphed stuff, I'll be sharing lots of shit...as soon as I figure out how to take previews. Poses? Backgrounds? Ugh? I mean, there's a reason I didn't mess with clothing for TS2, you know...

In the early part of the 17th century holdovers from the Tudor period continued to be in style, but soon enough the iconic ruff would evolve into delicate soft and standing lace collars. By the 1620s women's fashion - and by extension their accessories - became a lot more simple. Hats kept growing in size from the previous century, both in width and height. Pearls were HUGELY popular as they were a way to display wealth. In fact, it's hard to find a woman's portrait from this period that doesn't feature pearl jewellery. CC links and reference images under the cut.

The Orangery Bar & Lounge (Bar/Lounge)

Oh, what a struggle to find the things that truly matter to us in life. Is it Love? Wealth? Maybe being part of a select few to attend events at a very exclusive lounge? While we can't answer that question definitively, the latter can't hurt. This establishment is what many marvel at from the outside, wishing they would one day get to look through the windows from the other side, but very few actually do. Do you have what it takes? Come on in for a drink just to see how it feels!

Year 1609 Part 4:

With Frideswide becoming an adult she immediately began to practice her acting skills as she aimed to find and join a troupe sooner rather than later. She was a bundle of nerves but was excited to begin her life as an actress.

While the oldest of Thomasin’s children had her life planned out the younger boys were still wondering what they should do but were beginning to settle into what they wanted for the future. It wasn’t a surprise when Francisco declared that he wanted to join the clergy, the surprise was when Ramon said he wanted to join as well. Francisco had been relatively devout from a very young age but Ramon’s faith was not nearly as strong but he had conviction so only time would tell if things would change. Grace and Vincente were still uncertain as to where life would lead them.

On October 5th, Florence delivered her son, Leon, and was glad to see that she had two healthy sons especially since it meant that now there was no reason to continue having more children as it was pretty much certain that at least one of the boys would live to continue the Westbrook family name after all.

Liona turned six a few days later growing into herself.

December eventually rolled around and Jarod Maeda became a toddler. The family was doing well as they began to consider leaving Tartosa once more once the Maeda boys were a little bigger. For the time being though, they celebrated the end of the decade together with the Carlisles and the Jaleels.

Story Process Challenge

I was tagged by @danjaley and @treason-and-plot (in alphabetical order, not tagging order). Thank you both so much!

Summary: My process makes sense to myself alone and it’s very much a work in progress! Also, I’m very boring and don’t do gifs or videos, so you’ll just have to look at my screenshots. Sorry!

This is behind the jump for length.

1. Your writing process - show us a part of your script or explain how you write your scenes. Do you write in screenplay format or novel format? Etc, etc.

I write in novel format if it’s a wholly-posed story, mostly because that’s easier for me than a script. I feel like it really helps build the ~aesthetic~ of a scene that way. For my attempts at partially-posed/gameplay stories, I’ve gone for screenplay format, but it’s very new to me and I feel much more comfortable with the novel format. I usually write in Google Docs, since that can go with me everywhere and I can write on my lunch hour/waiting for my mom to get out of the pharmacy/etc, but sometimes I will write in Notepad.

(Yes, this IS a flashback to Alasdair and Ma. Yolanda meeting; they were perfect teenage hellions causing chaos at a society party, don’t worry.)

2. Scene building - show us you in the middle of scene building through pictures, gifs, or a video. Explain what is the best thing about scene building and what is the worst!

I’m still learning how to make a very good scene build; this is where being a historical player kind of hurts. It’s hard to get a good sense of what a 1810s Spanish drawing room or a 1600s merchant’s house in Amsterdam really looked like without abusing my library privileges! (Images from Wikipedia and historical sites only go so far.) The best thing about scene-building is when the vision of the room in my head matches the room that’s in-game, which is pretty difficult. The worst thing about scene building is that I’m very perfectionistic and a control freak, which does not help, and frequently I do get lost in the details and can’t see the forest for the trees.

(This isn’t a scene, it’s that Iron Age Roundhouse, but it’s a good example of how I do things--all the lights on, everything bright white paint or the $0 floor until I am happy with the shape and placement, and then I decorate.)

3. CC/Pose Making - do you make your own cc/poses for your scene? If so, what is your process like to create? Do you just go off the top of your head? Do you use reference photos?

I’d love to be able to make my own CC and poses specifically for scenes! I’m still very new at CC-making--see my hats collection--and again, I’m very much a control freak. I use a lot of reference photos, especially historical costuming sites and books, because it gives me a lot of pride to have the clothing and accessories look just right.

The creation process is usually: gosh, I need a crispinette/gable hood/palla/whatever for this character, let me see if there’s a mesh from TS2 or TS4 that I can wrangle into submission if I can’t repurpose an existing mesh, and then a prolonged period of fighting with Milkshape and TSRW and other programs until it looks serviceable and works. I’m not very technically skilled yet.

I don’t make my own poses--I’d love to, I have a hand-spinning poseset idea living rent-free in my mind at all times, complete with a drop spindle accessory, but I’m not very confident with Blender or hand accessories, etc. When I pose my Sims, I do use reference photos if I haven’t already planned out how they’re moving around in the scene. (Well, reference paintings, usually, although sometimes I’m lucky enough to find reenactment photos!)

4. Getting in the zone - What do you do to get in the zone to work on a scene? Examples include: show us your playlist you use when working on a scene, what’s your go-to scene snack/drink, etc.

I don’t know if I get into a zone as much as I just carve out time to work on things as I can. I don’t have playlists for my characters. (Not a Deaf thing; I just haven’t really...had the urge to do that. I’m worried I’m a neglectful Simmer now, ha ha.) I don’t have a go-to writing snack or drink. I just...try to relax a bit, usually, and sometimes I will look at my past chapters to see what we were doing last time.

5. Screenshot folder - give us a look into your screenshot folder to show us just how much goes into ONE scene for your story. (Scrapped pictures encouraged!!!)

Do you REALLY want to see this? Really? I’m an AWFUL packrat. I try to organize it and I can’t. (Sorry. I’m very messy.)

6. Captions - are you a caption on the picture kind of storyteller or captions in text box type of storyteller? Why? Do you do both?

Captions and text go in the text box.

I’d love to be able to put dialogue in speech bubbles, because it seems cool, but I talk too much! (This is the same reason why I kind of go back and forth with Netflix-style captions. I don’t know when to shut up.) I also worry that the captions wouldn’t be visible in scenes with low lighting or overly-bright lighting.

7. Editing!!!!! - explain and show us your process editing a scene through a video, gif, or picture. A Before and after will suffice if you aren’t in the middle of editing a scene as you answer this.

Philomena, before...

Philomena, after. (This is one of those images where I just threw up my hands at the hair editing. I wish TS3 had hat chops like TS4 did.)

I’m really not confident with editing--I want to have my pictures look aesthetically pleasing, consistent with the other images in the chapter, and “nice” in general. It doesn’t help that while I’m 95% Maxis-match, my aesthetic inspiration for scenes changes with the wind. I use pooklet’s lighting actions, and then from there I tend to use the Holy Colors, Batman actions. But I’m trying to find my own way of doing things--reliant on others’ actions, yes, but more consistently done and somehow conveying that it’s “of my workshop.”

8. Throwback- show us an ANCIENT story scene you did in the past and explain how you would do the scene differently today!

First: I think I’d choose a different pose for Vicar Max here. (It doesn’t quite fit; why would he be staring at Alasdair like that? It’s more of a mid-conversation pose.) I liked how it looked like Alasdair was genuflecting as he sat in the pew, but again, the pose needs to be changed. I might just go for neutral sitting-and-talking-looking-straight-ahead poses.

This was one of those pictures taken when I was trying to understand Reshade, so I’d obviously skip that. I’d also add Pooklet’s lighting actions, of course.

It’s definitely not lit well in the back--I’m not sure how I’d change that. I didn’t want to lose the “quiet chapel” feel, but there has to be a balance, not letting the characters look like they’re spotlit.

The angle also looks weird, but I’m horrible at angles; I have a lot to learn still. I’d either close-up on the faces or I’d zoom out more. (I think I was having issues with Alasdair on the OMSP, for some reason.)

I tag whoever would like to do this!
