Simstomaggie's Amalia Recolored

Here's part one of my 300 followers gift! You guys were pretty split between more Victorian recolors and a build, so I thought I'd try and do both. First up is this dress, originally by the lovely @simstomaggie.

It comes in a whole 45 swatches this time - fifteen (mostly) plain solids, fifteen decorated ones (as seen above), and fifteen with a white base and colorful accents. I have once again included the PSD file, please feel free to use my textures for other things, so long as you provide credit! I'm quite pleased with the skirt & bodice textures for this one...

Also I'm sorry in advance for how pixely the "decorated" skirt textures look, there wasn't a lot I could do given UV sizing. There are lots of smooth skirts that look just fine though :)

Download links and unedited swatch previews are below the cut!

[ Edit: now has 50 swatches, with five extra pastels! I don't have fancy previews for them though I'm sorry :( ]

Download my recolor HERE (sfs) Download the mesh HERE (patreon/free) REQUIRED!!!

(Featuring the obligatory Christmas candy cane swatch. Is it accurate for this period? IDK!! Is it whimsical? Yes.)

The decorated version was originally inspired by this fashion plate sent to the Sims of History discord by @zeehasablog but clearly I diverged pretty soon after I realized how little texture space I had to work with... I think I managed to get the spirit of it though!

The skirt on the toddler conversion can look a bit weird when the knees are bent. It's an unfortunate side effect of the dress being knee-length. In case it really bugs you, I made a V2 which is just above knee-length to minimize clipping.

Fountain Pen Mini-Set (pencil override plus deco pen and ink pot)

I needed a pencil override for my decades challenge save, and realized that the most accurate thing that I could find was probably no override at all. Quills went out around the 1850s, and modern pens didn't arrive until around the 1960s, and in between there was nothing that I could find.

A child in the 1890s would have needed something to write with that they could take to school the next day (...assuming they had homework, but we're playing a game where they do, so...), and they wouldn't have used a quill. A pencil, maybe, but not one with an eraser attached, and not anything like a modern pencil. If they used a pen, it would have been a dip pen or a fountain pen.

This pen could be considered somewhat accurate from any time from the 1850s (as a dip pen) to the 1950s (as a fountain pen; the change from dip pen to fountain pen would have happened around the 1890s)--or use it for more modern times if you want. It will be used anywhere that a sim normally pulls a pencil out if thin air their pocket. It's a bit chunkier than most of the oldest pens look to be, but it needs to fit the animation and the game, I wanted it to cover a range of time periods, and there were some thicker older pens.

It's dark blue (could pass for black in most lights) with gold details and nib, including the manufacturer's name. It's not fancy as many pens were--it's not completely gold and doesn't have highly patterned designs--so that it can be used by a wider range of households.

It's also my first mesh made from scratch, and I learned quite a but making it, but if anything's off, let me know.

Then I decided I wanted the clutter to go with it. So there's also a deco pen (capped) and a bottle of ink in something close to the shape that a bottle of ink from the 1800s to the early 1900s may have been.

Currently they come in one swatch, to match the pen. I may add more at some point if I decide I want them, but for now, it's just a matching set.

***

You can only use one pen override at a time, so if you want to use this one, remove any others--and if you want to use another, remove this one.

croit bheag | a lot by silverseaming

i recently reached 100 followers (ahhh!! thank you all so so much <3), and in celebration of this i'm releasing my very first lot!

as a historical simmer who isn't american, i'm always on the lookout for historical builds based in britain, so i thought i'd have a go at building some of my own!

this build is based on a traditional scottish highland croft, a type of smallholding that emerged after the highland clearances. the highland clearances took place in the north of scotland between 1750 and 1860, and saw highlanders moved from the land that their ancestors had lived on for generations. those that were left may have moved into crofting communities on poorer quality land.

my build consists of a two-room thatched house with a kitchen on one side of the building and chamber on the other side, along with small amounts of planting and grazing land (aka ridged beds and a barn in sims hehe). in the chamber i attempted a little box-bed (where the bed is enclosed within a wooden cupboard). i tried to make it cc free but @lilis-palace's folklore collections were too perfect!

Treat #1 : The Aesthete

This treat is a 1880's Set inspired by the Aesthetic movement aka victorians cosplaying previous eras (mostly the Middle Ages) and simping for Oscar Wilde. More pics and download below

It includes the following CC items :

Thought these oufits are specifically suited for the 1880s, the Aesthetic or Artistic dress movement is somewhat of a victorian fashion subculture dating back to the 1860's.

The people participating in this fashion were part of the artistic sphere, so definitely not your typical victorian person and this style wasn't always well-regarded by the rest of society. The Aesthetic dress movement never went mainstream and most of the dresses in that style were house dresses and tea gowns, giving them more casual and private uses. But this fashion nonetheless impacted trends of the following decades (trains, puffy sleeves, flowy silhouettes... ring's a bell ?).

This movement was strongly influenced by Pre-Raphaelite paintings (hence the medieval inspired elements) and linked to the Arts and Craft movement. For the women the dresses were usually plainer than what was typical of the time (not hard given how mainstream 1880s fashion went really trim crazy), potentially homemade, with less structured silhouettes (possibly worn without corsets).

Woodlawn House

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Woodlawn House. This is the 14th building for my English Collection.

It is in fact an Irish house, built before Ireland became independent.

I had to make some modifications and had no images to copy interiors.

History of the house: The history of Woodlawn goes back before recorded history, with the pre-medieval Diarmuid and Gráinne mound, currently undated.

Originally known as Mota or sometimes Moote, the village was renamed by Lord Ashtown, apparently for the simple reason that his post often ended up in Moate instead of Mota.  The countryside was flat, boggy in places but largely well-suited to farming and was used for tillage up until the 1930s when it was put to pasture.

Forestry is more recent addition to the landscape, with Coilte owning large tracts of the old Woodlawn estate.

Woodlawn House itself is a three storey palladian style country house of about 30,000sq.ft. originally built around 1760 by Frederick Trench, the first Baron Ashtown.  It was extensively remodelled in 1860 by his son the second Baron Ashtown to plans drawn up by James F. Kempster, the local County Surveyor.  It was also the second Baron Ashtown who was responsible for the building of the railway station and ensuring that the railway line passed through the estate as it was being constructed.

The house was finally sold by the fourth Lord Ashtown to Frederick Le Poer Trench in 1947.  The current owner is engaged in planning a complete restoration of the house and estate. 

For more info: https://www.woodlawn-estate.com/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distribution

This house fits a 50x50 lot (I think if you lose the woods and entrance it can fit a 50x40 too)

I furnished just the principal rooms, so you get an idea. The rest is unfurnished so you create the interiors to your taste!

Hope you like it.

Civil War Nurse Barbie - BGC

As a belated celebration of Barbara Millicent Roberts' 65th birthday, I present the 1995 Civil War Nurse Barbie. This doll was part of the American Stories Collection, and her story was set during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.

Mattel took some liberties with historical accuracy, so it is not totally appropriate for 1863. The doll came with a nurse's cap and cloak that would not have been standard uniform at the time, and I left the cloak off because I couldn't find a good mesh for it.

The dress is a recolor of @dancemachinetrait's maid and VAD uniforms, with the mesh edit from my Ruth dress. Petticoat texture comes from @noriannsimblr. There are 40 swatches from no particular palette. Half are stripes and half are solids. Half have the caduceus symbol on the apron and half don't.

The bag that comes with the doll looks more like a field kit or tool chest, which I couldn't find a good mesh for. Instead I used Agnes Crumplebottom's purse, which looks more like a traditional doctor's bag. Swatches are in @waxesnostalgic's Vintage Neutrals palette. Half have the caduceus symbol and half don't. Functions as a decorative object.

1850: Night at the Opera (A Collaboration with Vintage Simstress)

Hello, hello!

I know it's been a while (between life and being a perfectionist) since I've last posted anything, but this time I hope you enjoy what is on offer!

If you follow my story, you may have noticed the grand affair that was the Gala d'Opera! Scenes which took months of work to put together, of which included dresses and suits not yet seen before! With the help of my lovely friend, @vintagesimstress, she helped to create a few lovely dresses for the event, one especially for Eleanor, and the other for another sneaky little sim as part of a homage to my lovely friend for all her help making that scene a reality!

For those dresses, you can find Vintage's contribution here!

For my own contribution, I decided to try my hand at making some evening suits for my Mid-Victorian men. There are two versions, one with a closed jacket and one slightly opened. Please enjoy! <3

sorry to bring up character ages in tid again, but i wanted to run a theory by you about something i discovered.

in chapter 1 of clockwork princess, tessa is being fitted for her wedding dress and she says this: “he would look so young. they were both so young. tessa new it was unusual to marry at seventeen and eighteen, but they were racing a clock.”

clockwork princess takes place in september/october (i think??) of 1878, and their wedding was supposed to be in december. what i’m thinking that tessa must be older than what cc has told us (in both the family tree and the “new” canon she established with the 10th anni of ca). based on the quote, we can probably assume that tessa is either already seventeen when clockwork princess starts, or will be turning seventeen sometime between then and december. which assumes jem’s birthday is somewhere in there as well. so will and jem being born in 1860 is probably correct, but tessa was probably born in 1861.

Bottom line: cc can’t even keep her own canon straight XD. im gonna try to write my own time line to try to make sense of it sigjdnd.

Waait a minute. Wow.

So, yes. Tessa's birthday is said to be January 28, 1862. Clockwork Princess takes place from October to December, which means Tessa is sixteen and turns seventeen in January 1879, which is still a couple months away from the supposed wedding.

I guess they didn't have any confirmed dates of birth before the 10th anniversary edition of Clockwork Angel, just the birth years, but I found this part with Charlotte and Jem in Clockwork Princess, chapter 13 "The Mind Has Mountains":

You are still a child, Charlotte wanted to say, but she did not. He was only a few weeks short of his eighteenth birthday, after all, when Shadowhunters became adults, and if when she looked at him she still saw the dark-haired little boy who had arrived from Shanghai clutching his violin, his eyes huge in his pale face, that did not mean he had not grown up.

Which, of course, goes along with the whole

“Yes, though Charlotte’s rather fallen off in tutoring us lately, as you might imagine,” said Will. “One either has a tutor or one is schooled in Idris—that is, until you attain your majority at eighteen. Which will be soon, thankfully, for the both of us.” “Which one of you is older?” “Jem,” said Will, and “I am,” said Jem, at the same time. They laughed in unison as well, and Will added, “Only by three months, though.”

part in Clockwork Prince which takes place from July to August, but the rest of what was previously discussed gives the idea that they both have already turned seventeen in 1878, especially when juxtaposed with Gabriel's and Nate's ages and the rest.

Otherwise it does work that Will is born in late December and Jem's birthday is in November, other than that whole mess with being "three months" apart in age. But the language is weird, Tessa won't be marrying at seventeen no matter what, though Jem' would've recently turned eighteen.

Will telling Cecily that:

“You can’t be married, Cecily! You’re only fifteen! When I get married, I’ll be eighteen! An adult!”

Will turning eighteen a week or so after that Christmas when he proposed to Tessa works in that context as well. Though they apparently married two years later in March 3, 1880, according to the bonus content.

Though not exactly on topic, I want to point out that in said bonus content, Will thinks that "It wasn’t strictly a Shadowhunter wedding, because Tessa wasn’t strictly a Shadowhunter. But Will had decided to wear wedding gear anyway, because he was going to be the head of the London Institute, and his children would be Shadowhunters" though, at least according to the comic, James' conception was such a surprise because they didn't know if Tessa as a warlock could have children. And James was born in 1886, six years after the wedding.

Anyway, it's still a bit of a mess because, though some parts do fit, other parts of the text seem to have been written in another frame of reference in any case.

The timeline idea sounds fantastic!
