Mary Janes are my favorite and most used shoes style. While I adore the designs of the few basic Mary Jane shoes that comes with the game, I have always been pained by their intimidatingly weird shape. I've been tinkering with their mesh intermittently to make them actually wearable. So far I think the results are good and worth sharing.
I hope they can still benefit from other wonderful recolors for the original shoes, so they were made as mesh overrides. I've also done some extra recolors (although most are subtle variations of brown and beige. I can never have too much brown).
Part 1 is the Mary Jane heels from EP11 Cottage Living. It includes:
Mesh Override: Only replaces the original mesh.
Recolor Add-on: 90 carefully designed multi colors, including a bunch of Maxis-Match retro natural colors and soft pastel colors. Appears as additional swatches under the original shoes item.
Requires EP11 Cottage Living to work.
These two files work independently so you can download both or choose the one you want. Hope you like them!

The download is available in archive version. Previews and files have the same name to make it easier for you to navigate the choice of files. If the archive is inconvenient - there is a link to individual files.
The files have been renamed and recreated - they won’t conflict with the old files, but I recommend deleting them to avoid duplicates.
Some older files have had their textures and uv map changed to avoid overlaying textures on clothing, so some swatches may differ from the old version.
You won't need the slider anymore, sims will rise with their shoes themselves. Thanks o great @madlensims for the method and @1-800-cuupid for the tutorial <3
You can recolor / retexture my cc as long as you don’t include the mesh!
Do not share or re-upload my cc;
Don’t put my cc or retextures / recolors of my cc under any paywall;
Do not convert my cc to any other game (conversions for the sims 3 / sims 2 are allowed with proper credits given and as long as the conversions remain free at all time!)
If you also go by "the chunkier the better" saying, this pair is for you! Comfy lace-up shoes with a big, chunky sole, coming in a lot of fun colours! 👟
These are mesh edits & recolors for the Mary Jane heels from SP15 Moschino.
I used to hide these pair from CAS because their bloated shape have always bothered me. Taking the opportunity of this revamp project, I made a override to tweak the body shape, slightly thicken the heels, and also adde a version 2 with thinner straps. The changes are minor, but they definitely solve some of my annoyance and make them likely to become my favorite basic Mary Janes. Perhaps they will be useful for those who have the same concerns.
Additionally, there are some recolors with a few subtle variations, which make the total number quite a lot, so they had to be split into several files. I suggest only downloading the ones that you really want, so you won't get lost in a bunch of similar-looking items!
