My Fairy Lady: Sophia & Augusta 1790's mini set

Sophia & Augusta, a mid-1790s dress, hair, and ribbon (hat) overlay for your sims in celebration of me reaching 500 Tumblr followers last week, which is very shocking considering I had around 110 in the middle of January, so thank you :)

There are scarcely any 1790s items in the sims, especially mid to late, so here you go! I also think I'm the first person to make a 1790s hair.

I used mesh pieces from @the-melancholy-maiden @buzzardly28 @javitrulovesims and @cringeborg to make all of this.

Augusta 1790s Dress works from about 1794-1799.

Sophia 1790s hair works from about 1791-1798 (and is 14k poly, sorry). Hair isn't really that compatible with other hats aside from this ribbon overlay.

BGC, hair has all natural swatches, ribbon overlay, and dress both have 30 swatches. Everything is found towards the bottom due to my display index (you should see my thumbnail)

With the dress, all the patterns are historically accurate for the time and most are striped as stripes were very popular for the latter half of the 18th century.

Here are some different angles of everything

Now, here are some actual 1790s portraits and fashion plates

My Fair Lady: Regency Era Working Class Dress

♫How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent word, what more can he say, than to you he hath said. You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?♫

Aren't you sick of your poor ladies having absolutely NOTHING to wear? They can't afford the latest and finest silks, and of course, they don't want to wear their mother's pre-revolution outfits. Yuck! This is a working-class dress for your regency ladies who are on the less fortunate side and with the new and fashionable empire waist!

This is a frankenmesh of a dress from @peebsplays & @gilded-ghosts. I also used a fichu from @acanthus-sims and an apron texture from @chere-indolente

BGC, with 20 swatches all inspired by actual fashion plates of the time

Below are pictures of actual working-class regency dresses

Oh, what's this? Sweet little Emma seems to be playing with her brand-new baby doll, Polly. How adorable!

She's so proud of her Polly that she wants to show her off to the world! She starts tugging on her mother's apron to get her to see Polly.

Oh no! Her mother isn't giving her any attention. Instead of turning to see Emma's doll, her mama seems to be preoccupied with her own baby, Emma's new little sister, Annabelle.

Poor, poor Emma. It's hard being a 3 year old. It's harder getting a new sibling who seems to get your mother's undivided attention and you're no longer the star of the show.

:(

Oh, but fear not little one, for you will always be the center of attention when Aunt Beth is around.

“Chemisette” Collared Accessory Bodysuits

This is my attempt at a “chemisette,” a Regency/Victorian modesty bodice filler. These are definitely not perfect, but I thought that many would find them useful.

Both of these are accessory bodysuits with attached collars. They will not work in all games, so please read below the cut before downloading to see if you can live with their limitations.

My Fair Lady: Alexandrine 1820's Dress

Alexandrine, an early 1820's Dress for your regency ladies.

I've decided for every set or series of dresses I make they'll be a part of a collection called 'My Fair Lady'. I will release more dresses and sets from different eras in the future : ) I have a late baroque big set that'll be coming towards the end of the month.

This is a frankenmesh of a dress from @peebsplays & @historicalsimslife

BGC, with multiple swatches

I'd like to add that the dress comes plain without any flowers or added jewels. I used flowers and jewels from @acanthus-sims @royaltysimblr and @batsfromwesteros

I've named it Alexandrine after the crown princess for my fictional English country. Her name is Alexandrine and she will succeed the throne when her father dies as there are no male heirs.

Now I say it's 1820s as the silhouette aligns more with the silhouette of the years 1820-1822 but in reality, this could work from about 1817-1823

Pics of dresses from my Pinterest board from 1817-1823 : )

Keeping Lag to a Minimum...

I was chatting about a few things I do to combat lag over on discord and realised I do quite a bit of maintenance to reduce lag/load times. I decided to write em all down and before I knew it, I had a big ol' list. Here's hoping it helps!

Save/File Tips:

Clear your caches (located in the same spot as your mod folder fyi) I usually delete the onlinethumbnailcache, avatarcache and localthumbcache caches every time I exit the game, the main one to delete regularly is the localthumbcache file, they're just temporary files but it can get pretty big after a while.. if you're having any mod issues, particularly ui ones, it's always worth deleting that to see if it helps.

Remove any saves you're not using from your saves folder, and keep an eye on save file sizes. In my experience, any saves over around 30-40mb start to get a bit laggy. Things that bump this size up are the amount of townies in game and the amount of lots/objects in the world.

Regarding the above point, I regularly bulldoze lots I don't need anymore, just to save the game from having to cope with extra shit to load in the background and reduce save file bloat.

Similarly, I delete a lot of unnecessary townies. Also, try to keep the amount of outfits on townies to a minimum, ain't no townie need four swimsuit outfits, the game will thank you..

If you have cheats enabled you can usually shift-click/delete object on things like random coffee cups or stray cupcakes sims foolishly drop around the world (or eat em.. whatever tickles ur pickle) just get rid!

Whilst we're keeping objects in game to a minimum.. I try to clear sims inventories now and then, including townies. You can do this via mccc even if you're not currently playing that household by heading to MC Cleaner -> Sell Sim Inventory/Sell Household Inventory. RANDOM LUMPS OF CLAY BEGONE!

Think of a save file like a lot.. the more objects in it, the laggier it gets! Try your best to remove anything or anyone unnecessary where you can.

Hit "Save As" instead of "Save" now and then - the more you overwrite a save, the more chance it has of going wonky, treat your game to a fresh one now and then and remove the old one from your saves folder (maybe don't delete it right away in case you wanna roll back, keep it somewhere safe).

If you can (although ik it can be a pain) set up a new/fresh save, you'd be surprised how bogged down old ones can get! For legacy players, it's usually best to do this whenever you have a small family to save yourself some pain, since you can just save the household and take em to a new save (you will lose sims inventories/household inventories/relationships with sims outside the household tho so beware! Pictures/other collectables can be saved to a lot however, and you can always cheat back relationship bits etc.. bit of a last resort but new saves are shiny and fast!)

Make sure your Screenshots/Video folders are empty - move em somewhere else, it works, trust me. If you have a lot of custom music installed try n' clear some of those out too.. the smaller that Sims 4 directory is, the better.

Delete any last exceptions/last crashes (same spot as your mod folder again) you don't need em unless you're planning to upload em somewhere for help.

Settings Etc:

If you get a bad lag spike, opening the main menu and/or saving can randomly stop this. If it doesn't, try exiting the game, clearing your localthumbcache and restarting.

Clearing all notifications from the game panel can also help.

If you can, close all other apps and background apps you don't need whilst playing, ts4 is super memory hungry so it can definitely help.

The GraphicsRules Override file by Simp4Sims can reduce lag/latency and make your game look a little better in the process!

Srslysims Simulation Lag Fix mod can help reduce lag too (if you've altered the game speed via mccc tho, don't use this unless you plan on resetting it to default).

If you aren't keen on, or barely use a pack, consider disabling it.

Not ideal, especially for those of us taking screenshots, but lowering the graphics settings whilst playing definitely helps.

If you use re/g-shade, consider switching it off whilst playing and only turn it on for screenshots.

A clean and tidy pc/laptop runs better in general. Remove anything you're not using/don't need anymore to free up space, remove temp files, clean up your folders now and again etc etc.. especially that dreaded mod folder, speaking of...

Managing Mods:

SORT OUT YOUR MODS FOLDER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.. skdsjdjs it doesn't have to be immaculate but at the very least try n' clear it out now n' then. Also try to separate your script mods/overrides from the rest, patch days don't need to be so stressful ;-;

Personally, I don't merge my mods; if something breaks it's much harder to pinpoint! It makes it easier to find/delete specific mods too.. and let's face it, there's usually one or two items in that set you could do without lmaooo.. also, don't think it helps much tbh! Yeah you could say the game doesn't have to work as hard to load merged files but that's debatable, it's still the same amount of items/polys at the end of the day ¯\(°_o)/¯

If you like merging files and/or see results from doing so, you can merge stuff you definitely know you're never getting rid of, especially CAS/BB stuff.. but steer clear of merging gameplay/script mods! If a merged file seems to be the culprit when using the 50/50 method, try unmerging it and 50/50ing it again! You might not need to get rid of everything if something's borked.

Bulk Rename Utility can be used to remove all spaces and special characters from your mod files, the game doesn't particularly like loading those so it'll thank you.

The Sims 4 Mod Manager is a great way to sort through your mods, you can easily see, move and delete files from here (not great for build/buy, poses etc as thumbnails are usually missing, but great for CAS stuff). An extra hint with this that I've noticed is that if any of my mods get renamed with [D1] at the beginning after looking through them via the mod manager, it means it's a duplicate file so you can get rid.

I also use the Sims 4 Tray Importer to help me sort through mods. Simply save a sim/lot with any cc you don't want and find it in the importer, you can then go through all the cc in the cc tab and delete/sort it (I also use this to sort cc if a bunch has the wrong tags etc, makes it easier to find in my folders by saving em to a lot or w/e - it also spots duplicates which is handy).

It's a ballache, but the 50/50 method is tried and tested if you're having issues.

I like to keep an abandoned cc folder tucked away somewhere, that way you can remove mods willy nilly without stressing about losing them. If you change your mind, you can always grab it back!

Jeanne Straw Hat and Sylvia Bonnet

Jeanne's straw hat in this post of Amelie and Virginie.

I've converted both of these from maya40, when downloading please read the description. Also, if you downloaded the Jeanne straw hat earlier, please redownload it now as I've fixed it.

Jeanne's hat will work for the late Georgian era and very early Regency era. (1795-1837)

Sylvia Bonnet will work for the Regency era and also the very early Victorian Era (1837-1901). This style of bonnet however became unpopular by 1840.

AM Handsome Suit - Regency Conversion Set pt. 2

Woe, suit be upon ye. Yes, that's my only comment. No wait. it's really not.

This is a 2t4 conversion and recolor of this suit by Berg. I don't have much to say. It's a nice suit. Was pretty fun to convert. I'm getting the hang of this stuff. Oh, and I made two versions. The breeches of the original were slightly too short to tuck into boots, so I made a V2 with longer breeches. I would still recommend getting both versions.

Sonya - a late Regency-era day dress and overlay

This dress was made with one of my sims, Sonya Tolkanova, in mind, hence the name. It's a frankenmesh of @gilded-ghosts's Marianne dress (although the skirt texture is actually from the Fanny dress from the same set) and a dress made by a creator named Marigold, whom I will not be tagging. While I'm pretty sure Marigold has released all of their previously permapaywalled CC (which is kind of them), I still don't respect the TOUs of people who use adfly-adjacent sites. The original dress can be found here and easily downloaded here (direct link).

By "late regency" I mean it would work best for about 1817-1820. Expand that a little to the years it could REASONABLY work for, and you get 1814-1822.

This isn't really part of my 2t4 conversion set since it's not a conversion, but it is still Regency-themed. I probably won't be converting any AF dresses. Boobs complicate things so needlessly, it's not worth it.

In addition to the many swatches for the dress, I made an overlay for the little brooch + necklace thing at the collar. It's pretty basic, you could definitely recolor it if you want more options. That applies to the dress as well. I think it would look great as a spencer-type outfit with the skirt in a different color, but I really tried to hold back and not make too many swatches. They take up a LOT of space.

REGENCY REVERIE | Part I

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a stylish Regency sim in possession of good taste, must be in want of a wardrobe starter set.

15 NEW MESHES. I thought we’d never get here, but watching one Austen adaptation after another on repeat got me through the hell that oft plagued this set. As this is pretty much a love letter to Austen and her much-beloved heroines, every single piece is named after a character or location found in her novels. 

A thousand thanks to my lovely testers: @nolan-sims, @thesimsblues, and @blu-sims! I managed to fix like 85% of the issues/oversights they discovered (& omitted one dress entirely due to a weird distortion issue), but alas, I can never manage smooth weights/no tearing on my long dresses!
