My thoughts on Shang Simla

Thanks @thebleedingwoodland for tagging me in their posts here and here. Unfortunately I don't have much time atm, probably can't contribute much to the discussion. I'll try my best to explain my thoughts in the easiest and quickest way.

First, I never held much expectation for EA. Shang Simla is more like a friendly gesture to include Asian/Oriental cultures into Sims3 world. However, I never regard Shang Simla as a Chinese world, let alone any specific period. The minute I saw the torii ⛩️ とりい icon, as a Taiwanese visiting Japan many times, I knew Shang Simla would be a hybrid of most ancient (North East) Asian cultures even before sending my sims there. However, I don't think people back in 2009 had such high awareness or recognition for other cultures as we do today. They simply projected their impressions for the eastern world onto Shang Simla. So I would rather take this as a chance to introduce the right knowledge to simmers from other parts of the world.

What EA tried to present in Shang Simla is an ancient world, so honestly I don't blame them to provide the braid hairstyle from Qing dynasty. Yes, it is a symbol of repression, but it is also a historical fact. That's what people during that period of time would look like.

As for the outfit, honestly I think it's too much to ask, considering its 4000 year-long history and all the complicated details.

Yep, and that just covers the most basic types, there are numerous variations based on the occasion/age/social status/occupation...etc.

If you're wondering where those fancy outfits you saw on TV drama or games are, I would say they belong to the fantasy genre, like:

Note: for illustration only.

If you want to create a sims3 story with solid historical background, not fantasy or fictional, DON'T use these sources as your reference. Try googling artworks from that period, or related historical drama, those authentic ones.

Also, it's really important to notice the difference between Hanfu 漢服, Wafuku わふく and Hanbok한복. I'm no expert at these fields so I would only provide here the most basic types to give you a rough idea:

Ts3 CC creators I recommend include but not limit to:

Chinese: M&T 模拟人生单纯蛋糕店（M&T SimsCakeStore）/ 清霜童子@qingshuangtongzi

Japanese: kewai-dou / @m0m0-ka / @murfeelee / noiranddarksims

Korean: @amethyst-sims / ghostsyj

As for the martial arts outfit, the difference lies more on the sport events than nationality since there are corresponding uniforms now. For instance:

top to bottom: Judo柔道 / Karate空手道 / Taekwondo 태권도 / Tai Chi 太極 / Kung fu 功夫裝

Of course, the sleeve-less kungfu clothes EA provided is a big no-no, a modernized version apparently.

Last but not least, during the ancient period, Chinese culture had great influence over the neighboring countries including Korea and Japan. That's why you may find it very difficult to tell which from which sometimes. Hope the illustrations above can help.

To be honest, I rarely let my sims visit Shang Simla. It's a weird world to me. Too much nonsense I'm afraid. Most of the time, I tend to build my own version, with specific period and custom content to make it more authentic and realistic.

Oh and DRAGON! Almost forgot. I think this is simply because THERE ARE TWO KINDS of DRAGON. One spits fire while the other controls the rain, basically two different species I believe :D

Western dragon VS Eastern dragon

Gonna stop right here before making this post too long to read. Let me know if there's any questions. 😘💜

*Correction- Shang Simla is supposed to be a modern Chinese world, not an ancient one as I previously thought. I don't think of it as a modern world probably because, as we all know, modern life for Chinese people are not that different from the western one. In fact, Shang Simla should look much more westernized/modernized to reflect reality, even for a rural area. Besides, in the modern times only farmers wear bamboo hats. I can tell which hanfu style implies which period easily but I just can't really identify what period Shang Simla should belong to. To me, it's just a modern world with some randomly chosen Chinese / Asian / oriental elements.

TS2 to TS3 Rabbits as Pets EP Rodents (DR)

This set includes 3 default replacements to what are IMO the worst-looking rodent pets in TS3: the rat, shrew, and chinchilla.

As I never use these rodents as pets, I figured they’d get way more attention from me if I turned them into rabbits, and so here we are--after 10 years, the eyesores are finally gone.

C2077 Voodoo Boys Collection

“No-one else in Night City is so closely intertwined with the depths of the Net than the Voodoo Boys. Rooted in Haitian culture and tradition, these elite netrunners use their mastery of the digital realm to hack data and information that would otherwise be untouchable. Operating out of Pacifica, they’re your go-to for access beyond Blackwall, but watch your back; they’re especially wary of strangers.“

We’ve Got Art!! @futo-m0m0

The amazing, incredible, supremely talented @futo-m0m0​ has made the most beautiful art I’ve ever seen inspired by Blood Moon Rising chapter 18! Literally I can’t express how gorgeous this art is, and everyone needs to see it!! 

futo-m0m0 is so crazy talented, and I’m absolutely honored that something my dumbass wrote could inspire something so gorgeous. Thank you so much for the beautiful art!!!!

[3adkitty]

Yeah, I should probably focus on what I'm trying to draw than rebloging all the nonsense, and I'll try to be more active at my art blog @m0m0-s0da

Everyone’s favourite oldest brother - B4 needs a hug, a better jumpsuit and a nap

He’d volunteer in sick bay with Beverly, very carefully trying to comfort people when they’re hurt, Beverly keeps an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t accidentally cause more damage to anyone cause he has no self control when it comes to hugs

[xm0-m0x]

I got a new ipad, so here’s a lil B-4 to celebrate !! I never draw him accurate to the movie, this is the closest I’ve done 💖🤣👌

[xm0-m0x]

Art for my fic on A03, because we need more senior staff group cuddles

'Pose for a family photo' they said 'it'll be fun' they said

Lore suffers from short and angry, data is currently searching through the entire universes library for appropriate poses and facial expressions and b4 is just,,,, happy to be there

[xm0-m0x]

Cover image for the big fanfic I’m working on titled ‘B-DataLore’ (very creative yes)

‘Lore and someone else both go missing from Bruce Maddox’s lab, who leaves it to the Enterprise crew to find and recover them, when they recover the two how will Data and the crew adjust to two older brothers on board? Well, Lore isn’t happy and hates everyone, but Data doesn’t think he’s every happy, the other brother however, surprises the entire crew with his, well, ‘unique’ personality.’

Link below to the first chapter!!!! This took me ages, and is my first serious attempt at writing so please be mean and critique it cause it probably sucks 🥲 I’ll try to update it at least once a week, maybe more if I'm excited 💖💖

[xm0-m0x]

The bois working aboard the enterprise, getting along and having to wear coordinated outfits so people can tell the them apart, because b4 and lore deserve better then to be stuffed in boxes

[xm0-m0x]

The boys are all fancy in matching outfits, from a fic I'll never publish but hey, at least they look cute!!

[xm0-m0x]

Missed opportunity to give Mirror!Data a sick ass updo

Shame

Thinking bout the resident pretty boy turned wrinkly old man

The Notes read

-Prettiest man ever

-Do you wanna build a child, I promise they won't go mad (maybe)

[xm0-m0x]

I have problems ok

A cute sketch I'm working on actually finishing and fully rendering because I love it so much 🩷😍🩷

Lore/B4 has my heart, and apparently only my heart because of course I would fixate on characters that would never meet in the canon and that everyone ships with someone else 😤

Lore makes B4 worse, but B4 makes him better at the same time, Data doesn't think it's a good dynamic but oh well
