Simulated Styles

Here's the second dress in the series: the Robe a la Polonaise! Same exact details as the Anglaise (linked HERE if you haven't grabbed it yet!)

Here's What You Get:

Maxis-Match Dress Recolor, found in the Full Body Category

Petticoat Color Overlay Accessory, found in Facial Piercings

Maxis-Match Ruffles Recolor, found in Accessories

Maxis-Match Sleeves Recolor, found in Accessories

* These have all been recolored in the original colors Acanthus provided with their packages. **These are just recolors - they require Acanthus' original packages in your game!

All of the custom content created by @acanthus-sims is truly iconic and a must-have for any 18th-century save files. But as a loud and proud captain for Team Maxis-Match, their content has always been just a bit too "alpha" for my personal tastes.

This is a recoloring of Acanthus' Robe a l'Anglaise that started as a personal project so the gown would fit better with my game aesthetic. But as I'm sure there's others out there that love this CC as well who prefer MM, I'm sharing this!

While this is a fairly straightforward process, it does still take a bit of time as it requires baking new textures in Blender and then doing some editing of the textures further in a photo editor. I'll be slowly converting all of Acanthus' content to MM, but this will likely take me some time, so please be patient!

Here's The Details:

Maxis-Match Engageantes Recolor, found in Accessories

Hi all! After what seems to be the longest time away from The Sims 4 (all thanks to Fallout 4, Baldur's Gate, and Dragon's Dogma 2), I'm back to playing my historical save and creating some Sims content. I made these pieces of cc literally years ago as a quick little personal creation, but I've decided that I actually like them and thought I'd share with you all!

You Get 4 Package Files:

The "un-tucked" version (the original mesh I created) is what would've been worn as the only layer of underwear in the 18th century, so men would be fully commando under their shirt. With this in mind, I designed the chemise to be worn without any bottoms, leaving your Sim's lower half nude.

If you're using any unmentionable adult mods in your game (cough cough 👀), you WILL see all parts underneath...no promises that there won't be some clipping should your sim hunks be a bit more...ahem...well-endowed...

You should be able to pair this un-tucked version with any pants you'd like in-game, however there will likely be clipping if not paired with the breeches I've made for them. The "tucked" version should work with pretty much everything though!

Located in the Tops category of CAS

3 swatches in different shades of "linen" (historically speaking, these would never be colored, so I did not provide any colorful swatches)

HQ compatible textures

These are a mesh edit of @historicalsimslife 's port of "Bardly Shirt" from TS3 - you do not need their mesh for mine to work, but what are you even doing if you don't have it already in game?

In the 18th Century, breeches were the next layer worn after your chemise (without any "underwear" beneath as we would wear today). Gentlemen would simply tuck the length of their chemise directly into the breeches. I tried to add a bit of accuracy and realism to them with a buttoned flap on the front for easy bathroom access and ties at the knees and back of the waist to keep things snug!

I had originally only created these in the same 3 linen swatches to match the shirts, but ultimately decided I liked them enough to pair with other options as well. So I ended up providing you many swatches for these!

2 versions: one with a bulge and one without

Located in the Bottoms category of CAS

70 swatches in my usual favorite Federal & Georgian palette

HQ compatible textures

Hello my sweeties! I'm so proud to release this gown for all of your 18th-century saves. This has been in my WIP folder for so SO long, and after a bit of a hiatus from creating, I'm so happy I could finish it for you! This gown was inspired by the many portraits of King Louis XV's daughters in their formal court attire.

As usual, I've created different overlay accessories to maximize your customization options in-game. Through different combos of gown color and overlays, there are literally over 100 billion unique looks for this dress... 🤯 I cannot WAIT to see what you can come up with!

Here's What You Get:

70 Swatches in @anachrosims Georgian & Federal Palette

BGC

Teen-Elder, Female-Frame, Disabled For Random

Includes all LODs, morphs, shadow map, specular, normal map, & custom thumbnails

Mesh & Textures entirely from scratch!

* Disclaimer: given the sheer size of this mesh, along with the detailing of the sleeves, this content is much higher-poly than my previous content! (16k to be exact, but still lower-poly than some other alpha cc) ** Disclaimer 2: true to historical accuracy, the skirt is quite large on this gown! I've done my best with sims' arm placement, but please expect some clipping now and then.

70 swatches each in matching palette

All located in Facial Piercings category of Head Accessories

Only compatible with Robe De Cour

When using these overlays, the original swatch color chosen for the full body outfit remains as the main color of the bodice and train. You can then fully layer these overlays for different combinations of bodice detail color, bow color, petticoat color, bodice/train damask pattern, and/or petticoat damask pattern.

This is an update to my latest release!

*IMPORTANT NOTE* You will need to delete this original file from your Mods folder: “SimulatedStyles_Late18thCentury_RobeAL'Anglaise_ElizaSchuyler.package”

I’ve changed my naming convention moving forward for my CC, so the new file will NOT replace the old one. All add-ons are NOT compatible with the original gown.

Here’s what you get:

70 swatches in @anachrosims​ Georgian & Federal Palette

BGC

Teen-Elder, Female-Frame, Disabled for Random

Compatible with my Italian Gown Sash and Fichu accessories (the sash has ALSO been recolored in 70 swatches from Anachrosims’ palette, so re-download and replace in your mod folder!)

1 “linen” swatch, located in Right Wrist section of Accessories

Only compatible with the Eliza Gown

5 Colorable Pattern Overlay Accessories, in 70 swatches each

Located in Facial Piercings section of Head Accessories

Only compatible with the Eliza Gown

These feature a transparent background - the original swatch color of the gown becomes the background color of the pattern! You can then overlay any color of the pattern you so desire. :)

1 Multi-Color Pattern Overlay - each of the 7 swatches features a different pattern

Located in Facial Piercings section of Head Accessories

Only compatible with the Eliza Gown

You cannot choose the color of these patterns - only the background color will be different based on the swatch of the gown (disclaimer: not every combination is the prettiest of combos...)

As you've probs gathered by now, late-18th Cent is my favorite era. While I was geeking around through some historical gowns online, I found this Italian Gown on The Met’s website (check it out!) that I just needed to have in-game for living out my French Rev realness. This project started as a quick little skirt-edit/frankenmesh/MM-ification of the Maria Dress by the amazing @sifix​​ over at TSR (original here). However, the only original mesh part of Sifix's left now is the ruffled neckline and little bow... 🤣 All else is from scratch, including a complete uv_1 remap, hand-painted textures, and custom thumbnails.

Since my least favorite part of the CC-making process is choosing different color combinations for swatches, I decided to do something a bit different and allow you all to do that work yourselves... Through multiple, stack-able overlay accessories, you can customize this outfit and create your own swatches to your liking!

Here’s what you get:

A full-body Italian gown featuring a zone front and split-bum-pad silhouette for female-frame Sims, in 25 solid swatches

Two accessory overlays that add stripes to either the entire gown or just the petticoat, in 25 swatches (these overlays conflict because having one color stripe on the gown and a different on the petticoat is super ugly...)

An accessory overlay that changes the color of only the petticoat, in 25 swatches

An accessory overlay that makes the ruffle detail on the petticoat ivory to match the neckline and bow (I thought one color on the petti and a different on the ruffle looked ick)

*all accessories located in the facial piercings category (I assume if you're playing an historical save you don't use those slots anyway?)

Through different combinations of the above, you can make over 67,000 unique gowns! (but like who’s counting right)

Guys when I tell you I am obsessed with this one I mean I am OBSESSED with this one - let me know if you are too!

Special thanks and credits:

@sifix - for the original mesh (even though it is barely recognizable now 😅)

This gown started as a request from the lovely @persimmontrees​ through our Historical Simmer Discord. While I had never done a commission, the request couldn’t have come at a better time, as I was feeling a little stumped on what to create next. This was a great opportunity to study up on an era that I’m not the most knowledgeable of, while simultaneously receiving some much-needed inspiration!

The mesh for this gown is completely original – no frankenmeshing here! Other than the patterns for the Damask and Elizabethan gown (credit: google and @persimmontrees​), the textures are completely from scratch – I painted the Brocade pattern by hand.

Like my last upload (18th Century Riding Habit), this gown comes in separate package files for a more organized CAS – I didn’t want anyone frantically clicking around in swatches to find the pattern they like. So each file has it’s own pattern, in multiple combinations of where the pattern lies, and in many different color swatches. And don’t worry, there are many solid swatches among the 3 files if patterns aren’t for you!

There’s also a fun surprise swatch hidden within one of the 3 versions: tag me when you find it!!!

Interested in commissioning something for yourself?? Shoot me a message or ask! I'm always open to creating something new (more info to come on my commissioning process)! Or, if you like my content and would just like to show me your support, I’d appreciate your donation through Ko-Fi!

Interested in recoloring my content?? Send me a message or ask – I'm happy to send you my texture files. My texturing process is anally organized, so I have files with each portion of my meshes already separated into their own layers for easy recoloring.

Special thanks & credits:

@linzlu helped with some weird weighting and slot ray issues

@vintagesimstress​ helped with the above also!

@simverses offered some great CASTools insight
