My Fair Lady: Late Baroque Era Set

(no fancy thumbnail this time, sorry) ♫ < baroque music

Please READ ALL OF THIS before downloading. I will not answer an ask if it was answered here. Read.

This is a late 17th-century/early 18th-century Baroque Set. You will get 25 items for women, girls, and toddlers! Towards the bottom, I will give you tips to start a Baroque Era Save (people to find on gallery and men/boy attire).

I would like to thank @the-melancholy-maiden @linzlu @sychik @batsfromwesteros @vintagesimstress @cringeborg @acanthus-sims @stereo-91 and sims 2 creator maya40 for the stuff I've used to make all of this. I'm sure there are more creators but I cannot recall their names off the top of my head. DM me if you see a piece of your mesh here so I can give proper credit. I would also like to thank @belleophile for testing these items for me.

The stuff in this set can work for the late 1660s-early 1710s.

WHAT YOU GET: You will get 3 hat hairs, 1 for each age I listed above, 2 Fontanges for adults that work with the hat slider mod, 4 adult hairs, an adult baroque hair comb piece, 1 adult baroque sash accessory used for court and portraits, 1 ribbon hair piece to go with a hair, and 13 dresses (2 1670s/1660s mantuas, 1 1680s-1710s Habit used for Hunting or Riding, 1 1690s-1710s court dress used for court occasions, 1 1690s-1710s jeweled portrait dress and 1 1660s-1670s portrait dress with sash, and finally 7 1690s-1710s mantuas used for everyday, formal, and seasonal wear. I've included 1 dress for a child and 1 dress for a toddler as well).

SMALL NOTICE ABOUT THE PIECES: The hairline on the hairs will not behave correctly if you have head shape presets on the sim. I've tried fixing that but no luck. If I manage to fix it, I will update it. The Hat Hairs are found in the HAT category and are not compatible with hairs you MUST download the hair files that I'll be including with them. This being said, if you remove sim clothing while they have the hat hair on, it removes the hair override too. It's strange, but just put the hat back on and it should fix. The comb, and ribbon accessory are also found in the hat category. The Sash is found in the GLASSES category. The 1660s-1670s Mantuas are not compatible with shoes, leggings, or socks. I've removed these options in CAS tools so you shouldn't have to worry about clipping. The Barbara 1670s Dress has a sash meshed onto it, and because of this does not behave well with bigger bodies. The same applies to the Henrietta 1670s Dress, as the pearls don't behave with bigger bodies. Same with the Sarah 1670s Dress jewels. The 1690s-1710s Mantuas will have small gaps if the sim is plus-sized. I have tried to fix these issues, but no luck. The hat hair fontange looks a bit gray without reshade or a lighting mod. @northernsiberiawinds has some good lighting mods. Other than that, it's fine. Below, is how it will look white with a lighting mod.

Everything has AT LEAST 20 swatches. Some things have more. There are only a few things that don't have this many swatches.

Here are some pics up close of what you are getting.

Here are some pics/fashion plates from this era.

Did I forget the 1680s mantua..? Oh no! Luckily, I've included this surprise 1680s dress you'll be getting as well for reading all of that. So 26 items! (here you can see hat hair fontange without lighting mods installed)

BAROQUE SAVE TIPS: These dresses will work for winter, summer, and traveling wear. Just add a fichu for summer wear or a shawl. For winter wear just add some long gloves and a cape. For men's stuff from this era, @stereo-91 has recolored some acanthus outfits which can be found here. I'll show you how they look below. I also recommend going to his gallery (ROTAMETERS91) as he has AMAZING builds for this era. For a little boy, @acanthus-sims has some stuff that can work.

Earlier today, while at a stoplight, I noticed what seemed to be one of the Trump merch stands people setup on the sidewalks here in south orange county, CA. There were like 3 people waving Trump flags and 2 or 3 more by the booth.

These booths are normally just one guy behind a table and one or two customers, not people waving flags, so I took a quick pic using my phone that's mounted on my dash to show my bf this latest pathetic-looking & weird gathering of more flags than people.

Then I notice this HUGE crowd further down, and my heart sank. This is a conservative area, so a huge Trump crowd wouldn't be unusual, but I still hate to see it.

EXCEPT -- when the light turns green, I get closer, and THOSE ARE HARRIS FLAGS!!! There must have been at least 30 or 40 people there all in Harris/Walz shirts cheering and waving. (Sorry, no Pic. I was driving by the time they were in view.)

I have no idea what everyone was doing there at a random out of the way shopping center, but the fact that that many more people showed up to support Harris than Trump in an area where in 2016 & 2020 every few blocks had a house with Trump flags makes me hopeful that this nightmare of constant bullshit from Trump might be ending.

Dandelions | Azriel x Green Witch

So I was watching Bob’s Burgers and it gave me Az x Green Witch reader vibes so here are some memes from Bob's Burgers to go along with these headcannons no one asked for lol…

Green Witch:

This would be her @ her 3 little seedlings (in my head Cas comes up with this nickname and it sticks lol) before going on a date with Az

her dragging little Mel out of the principal’s office after she got in trouble for trying to hex a boy at school

bonus lol

Melaina, their first born, having a little existential crisis when she starts crushing on Eris’s son:

Alora, their second born. She’s a little love witch and wears her heart on her sleeve and just full of a lot of emotions:

Green witch is always there to support 💗

Az thought Mel was a handful until Alora learned how to talk lol. Though unlike Bob, I think he’d entertain her silly little questions when she sneaks into bed with them after a nightmare, no matter how sleepy he is. Bc this man adores his babes.

You can actually read the fic inspired by this scene here.

They do have a third child. Their first son, Dimitri, but he does not give off Gene vibes and also tumblr cut me off on how many more pics I can add so sorry I didn't include him.

[literallyjusthereformods]

Mod folder's cooked still, sharing photos of my sims from my gallery.

Not my preferred method, but I'm dying to share them! So anyways here's a mega photo dump.

Cade E Cherrypop! (Normal/Ruined)

My love for sentient entertainment animatronics is one that will forever remain unshaken. Cade E Cherrypop is the sentient android mascot of Cade E Arcade! (Thx to the new chibi preset by @sdmsims, another little mascot will be along shortly as a friend)

After society collapses due to a zombie-apocalypse-plus, the arcade falls into ruin, and Cade E eventually reawakens in the ruins in her second withered form, sun-bleached, dirty and damaged.

Xelleen Wisher

Xelleen Wisher's a gaming streamer in this world's analog to Twitch! Despite his anxiety disorder, he does his best to put up an optimistic and energetic persona for his audience. He really loves cute things, especially cats and small collectibles! He's also very, very good at videogames, dabbling in speed runs and challenge runs.

Xelleen was created by me as a very positive character. He combines physical traits that are painted as a stereotypical "neckbeard" image (acne, overweightness) with features of the "gamergirl" aesthetic (cute clothes, makeup, lots of pink.) He stands as his own person, defined by neither stereotype.

The bottom/last pic of the three shows his face without his makeup on!!

Steelie Buzzkill

(Wouldn't Be Possible Without @sdmsims's Anime Mod!!!)

Ordered as an Incarnate (an Incarnate is a special type of android commissioned to be a real-word version of a fictional character) of somebody's OC, Steelie's shipment was intercepted after the law recognizing android sentience was passed. His company dumped him and his peers on the side of the road near a rural town.

Since he was freed before artificial memories were programmed into him, he doesn't know what character he's intended to be, and he really doesn't WANT to know.

He works at IHopTopic, the compound store that exists because in this universe, IHop and Hot Topic had some sort of business deal from hell that led to a combined location.

(Between you and me, his design SOMEBODY's fannon ship child OC, but I won't say more than that, nor do the medias his parents are from exist irl.)

The rest will just be character images with short descriptions. I'll likely make individual posts later on going in more depth!!

Torren's a model! He models both clothes and makeup.

Torren's photographer, and general voice of reason. They're bascially buddies.

Aniyo loves hanging out in malls and drawing fanart for their favorite animes. Above all though, they love animals!! Their aspiration is to be a rescue caretaker for animals that need them.

A small trunked rodent I created called a 'rummager.'

It's too bad I'm missing the cc for this one, because I'd love to show their whole design in CAS. I really like this one. They have a lot to do with a certain collapse plotline.

Owner of a tattoo shop. VERY supportive of their artists, and probably one of the best bosses ever.

Tattoo artist working for Crim.

Another one of Crim's hired tattoo artists!

Third tattoo artist out of four in Crim's tattoo shop. (The fourth one's too short to show in gallery, sorry.)

Runaway teen after something really bad happened at home. Navigating the post-collapse hellscape with her horse.

Apex Zombie who's territory spans an entire abandoned city. It's antenna syncs up to the abandoned traffic cams, giving it eyes all over the urban ruins. As a side effect, the old digital billboards flicker to life in monochromatic imagery when it approaches.

@ssspringroll because I definitely used some of your CC in this. Idr where, but I DEFINETELY did. Also, you're one of my favorite creators, thank you for existing <3

Wanda maximoff x fem reader

GirlxGirl

Set before wanda was an avenger (ignore the pic just roll with it haha 

Y/Ns POV:

"Please Wanda pretty please" I beg my roommate to watch a movie "y/n no you'll just fall asleep in the first 10 minutes then ill be left trapped under your sleeping body not able to move because you always end up laying across me so no" she tries to say as she tries not to smile"ok ok if I fall asleep you have permission to pour water over me just keep a bottle beside you" 

Wandas POV:

"OK OK if I fall asleep you have permission to pour water over me just keep a bottle beside you" y/n says and I giggle a little, truth is I love when she cuddles into me I've had a crazy crush on my roommate for over a year I'm just messing with her because she's adorable when she begs me to watch movies with her "ok fine you win ill watch" the smile on her face is priceless we get snacks and set up the movie as y/n moves into position laying on my lap i get comfortable and start watching I don't even know what she picked I'm just watching anyway and just as I thought not even 25 mins in and she's out like a light I gently play with her hair and look at her beautiful face before turning my attention back to the screen about an hour in and y/n moves nothing knew there but this time she turned her body and her face is in my crotch and I'm frozen I can't move fuck oh god maybe I should pour wat...fuck she's snuggling closer keep cool Wanda keep cool I try to compose myself but can't seem to I can feel the arousal pooling in my underwear and to make it worse I can feel her breath hitting my core fuck "y/n wake up Y/N" I shake her waking her up "what Wanda I was enjoying my dream" i huff and look down at her "y/n your face is in my crotch " I giggle a little trying to cover my flustered state and she instantly freezes "oh I um I'm sorry I didn't um mean to" I giggle at her panic state "it's OK you could have bought me dinner first though" I send her a wink and I see the blush cover her cheeks, should I make a move I'm so confused.

 Y/ns POV: 

I feel the heat in my cheeks my face was right in her lady garden I'm so embarrassed sure I've dreamt of it but under different circumstances I unconsciously bite my lip at the thought alone fuck the thoughts I've had about her the amount of times I've ca.. "I didn't mind" I hear her almost whisper with a shy tone to her voice wait what did she say "really?" I ask looking at her rubbing the back of my neck before she thinks of an answer I feel her crash her lips to mine gently pushing her tounge into my mouth fuck her lips are so soft I smirk a little and deepen the kiss holding the back of her neck as her hand rests on my chest I slowly pull and bite my lip "you have no idea how much I want you" she husks out with pure lust and desire in her voice fuck that was sexy "my bed or yours" I breath out to turned on to speak more "mine then yours" I bite my lip and nod quickly standing up grabbing her hand pulling her to her bed and pushing her down with the wave of confidence that rushes through me "strip Maximoff" I say seductively and she complies right away Holy shit this is actually happening Wanda is stripping naked Infront of me and fuck me she's one goddess I climb over her and attach my lips to her neck sucking and biting every spot I find I smirk when I hear her moan letting me know I found her sweet spot that I of course Mark "such beautiful sounds Babygirl " I whisper in her ear before working my way down to her amazing tits biting my lip at how hard her nipples are i latch my lips around her hardened nipple and suck closing my eyes enjoying the moment and the sounds of her desperate moans "fuck just like that' she whispers and I move to the other nipple giving it the same attention while I suck her nipple like a lolly pop I slide my hand down to her core teasing her bundle of nerves she's fucking soaking oh god I let her nipple go with a pop and look into her eyes "fuck Wanda your pussy is so wet" I moan working my fingers down to her waiting entrance and slide them in with ease "well can you fuckkkk oh god, can you uhh blame me you had your face in my crotch for over 5 minutes I uhhh fuck yesss could feel your breath hitting my pussy with every breath you took" she struggles trying to explain why she's dripping I smirk and thrust my fingers deeper and faster curling them at just the right spot to hit her gspot "fuckkkk y/n I'm gonna fucking explode shitttt" I take her nipple in my mouth as she grips my hair and i pump my fingers faster I feel her clench around my fingers as she cums with a scream I look into her eyes with lust "fuck wanda I need to hear those sounds everyday of the week" I confess as she bites her lip and starts to undress me once I'm naked she slips her knee between my thighs and presses it to my core and leans down to my ear as I try and gain some friction from her knee "then we can do it everyday, I've wanted this for over a year now look at you, needy and grinding against my leg like a good little girl" I moan and nod taking her nipples between my fingers "I'm your good girl" I blush as soon as the words leave my mouth and she smirks replacing her knee with her hand cupping my soaked pussy teasing my entrance "fuck I like the sound of that y/n my good girl" I moan as I feel her fingers stretch out my entrance as she fingers me at a brutal pace but fuck it feels amazing she sucks my nipple moaning against it as her fingers rub my gspot and I scream "fuckkkkk wanda god don't fucking stop so good" I moan like something out of a porno she must feel my orgasm approach and let's my nipple go and slides down my body pulling her fingers out replacing them with her tounge and boy does it feel fucking amazing she continues to tounge fuck me till I can't hold back any longer and release all over her face "fuck", I moan as she climbs up my body and kisses me making me taste myself I bite her lip and pull her close to me to cuddle "I could get used to this but give me 10 minutes then we can move to my bed" I say with a giggle and she giggles rubbing little circles around my nipple.

 AN: just another update incase people actually enjoy these :) word Count Is over 1.2k enjoy

[adelarsims]

Hi, you are more than welcome to ignore especially if you have answered before and I missed it/it's elsewhere on your blog but can I please just ask how you get your CAS photos to look so incredibly clean? Especially around the edges, they're so smooth it's incredible. Thank you in advance, I really appreciate it! You inspire me so much tbh, everything you post is so beautiful. (Also also also the eyebags you released recently are my new gold standard and I use them for everything now tysm for sharing them) 🖤

thank you!

ok so here are a few tips, you don’t need to follow all of them, but if you like exactly my cas style, maybe some of them will help

1. edge smoothing. sorry for being obvious, but use either in-game anti-aliasing, or a smaa shader if you’re a reshade/gshade user, or you’ll get a pixelated staircase for the edges that will be hard to fix. if your PC doesn’t handle high graphics well and you play without edge smoothing, you can toggle it on temporarily just for taking a few good cas pictures and then turn it back off.

2. use MXAO. if you use reshades, use mxao shader for pictures, it's really a life changer. though i don't use it during the regular gameplay and only turn it on when i take pictures, because moving a lot with it slows down your game and is a visual overload for me.

3. but don’t overdo it with MXAO. seriously, don’t go all out with mxao. for a cleaner look shadows need to be delicate, just to overline shapes and give your sim more dimension. every time i tweaked my reshade presets, i made mxao even more thin and gentle and realized that it only got better.

4. background makes a huge difference. solid colors. in my personal opinion, grey gives the "cleanest" look (i said while still using my old dirty yellowish that i'm too lazy to find a replacement for). also, if i want to use black or white background, i make it a little darker than white and a little lighter than black, they look pretty much the same but will attack your eyes less (especially the white one).

5. CAS lighting makes a huge difference. maxis light isn't that bad, but cc lighting definitely give you more clean, crisp image. my personal favorite neutral one that i use by default is v2 by helgatisha. sometimes i use lightings with side highlights for more “rendered” look, but they aren’t always comfortable for everyday use and i only use them for specific pictures and then get back to my default neutral one.

6. shadow overlays. i mean cc that imitates shadows on sim's face, it gives sim's face so much dimension. there are spotlight v1 and v2 by simandy and lighting overlay v1 and v2 by joshseoh. i'd say josh's overlays are for fancy portrait pictures (they imitate a very strong light source from different angles, very cool for sim photographers but not for regular gameplay), and simandy's are more neutral and are very gameplay-friendly on lower opacity. personally, i only use v2 by simandy now, it's my holy grail and i don't take sim's pictures without it.

7. SRWE. it's a program that emulates having a bigger display resolution than your monitor can afford, meaning much better screenshot quality and cleanliness for small details. srwe can be a bit of a hassle to use for a lot of pics and most of the time i’m too lazy to use it and just take my regular small pixelated screenshots, but sometimes i want just one, but extra clean picture.

8. Topaz Clean 3 (photoshop). i don't usually edit my pictures and just drop them like whatever, mostly because i don't know how to do it, but sometimes i make them sharper and cleaner with a gentle touch of topaz on very low strength.

[golby-moon]

so an unspecified number of months ago I read this great fic (linked below) and was inspired to make art for it but alas, bang responsibilities happened. the line art for this has been sitting around forever and I finally found the time to color, shade, and throw a background on this bad boy and now I finally get to chuck it at the author's head as promised

(sorry for taking forever gfhfjfi)

so yeah I wanted to have two scenes for this as sort of a before/after, which is also reflected in the colors of the clothes (or towel) matching the other person's color in the second pic whereas they kinda clash in the first (Cas' bright shirt vs Dean's drabber one). also I tried something newish with the background where it's there but hopefully not super attention drawing idk thoughts? and yeah the roofs are like that on purpose. also also tried something new with the tears idk hopefully that looks okay

(also also also if that first drawing's poses look familiar, it's because I used it before in an old art piece that idk I never really liked for a few reasons that I rant about in the tags a bit and can explain more but I saw it again the other day and wanted to kinda rectify that as kind of a redraw. idk I think it looks better now with the proportions all rounded off and the lines a bit smoother, though Dean's arm is a bit too long here I'm realizing. oh well. any shorter and their faces would've been touching so what can you do)

((I say also too much))

the fic this is made for is called "Of Curses and Bee-Colored Mittens" by @destielshipper4cas

(fic is locked for people who aren't signed into AO3)

Hello again :)

Hello, to those of you still hanging around here! So sorry I missed Simblrween this year, but I'm happy to share that I have some new CAS Backgrounds coming out tomorrow, and more almost ready (just need preview pics) to release soon! So yay for more conversions coming! If you'd like to read on about what else I'm working on and what I've been doing in my personal life read below :)

First if I've been a little MIA its because I just delivered a healthy baby boy. Yay! But pregnancy left me super tired so I had very little energy left for conversions. I've still been building and trying to play a little rotationally, so I may share some more of the pics from that play time but we'll see.

As far as conversions I have some small "mini sets" of buy mode CC as well as a LOT of half finished conversions that I'd like to polish up and at least share the finished parts. Converting is such a learning curve and because of all the other things I've had going on in RL it hasn't been a priority to continue to poke around and trouble shoot. But with that said, I have also learned a lot and gotten some help (shout out to the amazing Creator's Cave Discord) so while I'm in the simming mood I'd love to give back to all of you and hit that publish button before life gets busy again so stay tuned. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy tomorrows CAS backgrounds! Have a great day
