1850s english manor - historically accurate

Hi! Here's the build I've been working on for the past two weeks. I've made plenty of homes for working-class and somewhat well-off folks, but I hadn't shared a mansion yet, so I was really excited to get this one done. It took me a lot of effort, and I had to cut back on the CC usage and simplify the interiors so Tray Importer wouldn’t crash when exporting the CC.

Anyway! This grand house features a beautiful garden, an entrance hall worthy of a mansion, and a library-living room that leads to the drawing room and dining room.

There are two full floors of bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom is on the top floor and is split into two with a small hallway in between, so the lords of the house can sleep in their respective beds as tradition demands.

There’s also a nursery and a room for toddlers. The mansion boasts a large greenhouse and a full floor dedicated to the staff, where you'll find the kitchens and the servants’ quarters.

Mira - mid-Victorian toddler dress

Hi y'all! Been a while. I made this dress as an easy and simple project after several messed up wips that I had to give up on. It's a unisex 1850s toddler dress designed to match the pantalettes from my Thomas set. This does mean that all the swatches are quite masculine, since the Thomas pantalettes were specifically designed for boys. I considered adding some more feminine recolors to this new dress and to the Thomas pantalettes, but that'll have to wait until another day. I'm a bit busy with life and such. Would you believe me if I said the biggest factor that delayed my release of this dress was naming it? I just could not think of anything. I had to resort to a random name generator. Mira it is.

Advent Calendar 2023, Day X and XVII: Tenues d'hiver pour enfants

SURPRISE!

I told you it would be worth the wait!

I know there are few dates where I've been behind. But I thank you for your patience. Working 13 hours a day six days a week on top of being super sick, and then staying up into the late hours to make sure posts went out has been quite a lot for me. But things are coming!

I'm finally able to release the gifts that were due the last two Sundays (Dec 10 and 17th)! There were last minute drama's for each of them, but they are now fit and ready to go!

A huge thank you once again to @historicalfictionsims for her help in converting the dress from an adult frame to a child frame. Many may remember the dress in my previous advent calendar, as it was worn on one of my deco sims, but the dress was too broken and I didn't have any knowledge of how to fix it at the time. So with her help I was able to finally make this dress functional! And of course a huge thank you to @buzzardly28 as well for helping with all the clipping issues! We did it! <3

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.

Kirsten's Midsummer Outfit - BGC

This was sold as part of Kirsten's collection from 2004-2006, and is not associated with any of her books. Both items come in my Combined Diary palette and Mothz patterns.

The dress is made to be compatible with @linzlu’s Kirsten pantalettes. I chose to keep the pantalettes separate so that it can work for Cottagecore as well. The only "glitch" I found was that the ruffles scrunch in the back while the sim is moving.

The basket is a mesh edit from @plumbobteasociety's Cottage Garden set. It works with the poses from the set, but due to the dress's width, the basket will clip with the skirt. The flowers are transparent and will not work with laptop mode. Like the original, the basket is categorized under right wrist but uses the texture space for both wrists.

"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor." (A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens, 1847)

surprise!!! here's some boys for y'all!

fashion just... didn't change as much or as drastically for men as it did for women. there's a few reasons for this, like the association of fashion with women, that fashion was one of few accepted ways of women's expression, that the way men were dressed was under less of a microscope... etc. etc. also, a lot of top hats were worn pretty much through the century, but i kept on forgetting them :(

Tie Overlay for BatsFromWestoros' 1850s suit

I really like this 1850s suit by @batsfromwesteros, and the additional colours by @theroyalthornoliachronicles , but I don't love love all the ties that go with them. I also don't like how some of the ties overlay the shirt collar; so, I decided to make my own overlay of ties!

Here, I present my overlay, with 14 swatches:

These are: 6 solids (blue, red, green, yellow, magenta, orange), these 6 with "flecks", as well as two black/grey patterns (with blue spots, and damask). I wanted to do more patterns, but I found it difficult to make it look good as a tied tie.

(I also lightened up the shirt colour, got to love a clean, starched shirt!)

You can find the overlay in the accessories category in CAS, under the left-ring finger. 

The ties only work over the 1850s daywear suit by BatsFromWestoros as well as the additional swatches from TheRoyalThornoliaChronicles - therefore, please download these as the mesh.

Note: these do not work for the coat-less versions

I really feel the colours work well with a lot of the swatches - I hope you do, as well!!

200 Followers Gift: 19th-century Men's Lookbook

Finally, here it is. A gift to you all for getting my follower count up to a whole 200. I know it's not a huge milestone, but I'm excited about it, and I'm glad so many other people are interested in the things I make. As of right now I have 212 followers, and there were only about 190 students at my elementary school. That's weird. That's a lot of people.

This is a more informal lookbook than my usual ones. I haven't really gone all in on the photo editing. It's more of a timeline of fashion than a true lookbook. Note that it's a mix of casual wear (1810, 1820, 1830, 1850), regular daywear (1800, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890) and evening wear (1840).

1800s: hair / glasses (TSR) / suit / boots (Base Game)

1810s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / vest / breeches / boots

1820s: hair / facial hair / vest / pants (Discover University) / boots

1830s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / outfit / boots (Base Game)

1840s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / suit / shoes

1850s: hair / facial hair / outfit / shoes (Base Game)

1860s: hat / hair / facial hair / suit / gloves (Base Game)

1870s: hat / hair / facial hair (Cottage Living) / jacket / pants (Sack Pants) / gloves (Base Game) / boots

1880s: hat / hair / facial hair (Horse Ranch) / suit / boots

1890s: hat / hair / facial hair (Cats & Dogs) / suit (Professor Plum) / shoes (Get Together)

1859

As their daughters aged, Eustis and Lavinia still found time to spend quality time together. They went to church every Sunday and some other days too; like when it was announced that Oregon had become a state. Instead of living in Oregon country, they now lived in something called Idaho country. It didn't much matter to Eustis and Lavinia as they were happy with their frontier life, but they did worry.

Soldiers from the fort had been coming around more often, and with Eustis away for long periods trapping; he worried about all his girls. It was becoming harder and harder to make a living fur trapping. All the years and all the people who had come before him had depleted the animal population. Luckily, they were able to supplement their income by bartering at the fort. Their small garden produced more than they could ever eat, but not everyone in the area was so lucky.

As the new decade approached, Lavinia was comforted by the fact that some things never changed. Eustis' tendency to brawl, for instance. A fact of life that she once hated, now reassured her that her husband was still as capable and virile as he once was, even if there was more gray in his hair and more wrinkles around his eyes.

[telekinetictrait]

"All the hopes, fears, capabilities of her nature were yet folded around her like the wings within a chrysalis." (Marian Withers – Geraldine Jewsbury, 1851)

the next decade in the timeline: the 1850s. a decade of large social turmoil and even larger skirts. these skirts were created by layering numerous petticoats, which made it unwieldy, uncomfortable, and at times unsafe. that is, up until cage crinoline of 1856! this allowed for skirts to continue to grow even further than before. another development that shifted fashion were the improvements in the sewing machine. these improvements and mass production of the singer sewing machine allowed for even the lower classes to take part in fashion trends. we also see a more "natural" waistline (natural in where it lays on the body) and soft, drooping shoulders. once again, i deviated in one outfit. i know it's technically a swimsuit. but when i saw it, it reminded me of this illustration of amelia bloomer, who famously made a stir with elizabeth smith miller and elizabeth cady stanton in 1851 when they began to wear loose trousers paired with shorter dresses, now referred to as "bloomer suits". this never caught on, but it's an important moment in the history of women's fashion in america.
