Simblreen 2024 Gift #2: Françoise Blouse for teen-elder

For the second gift, I'm excited to bring you my first more complex frankenmesh project! This is a combination between the Store Worlds Collide Outfit and the High-end Stylist Outfit from Ambitions. I really liked the frilly collar and blouse of the former, but hated...whatever was going on with the sleeves. So I went ahead and ripped the arms off the Stylist outfit~

As a sidenote, I think the red preset looks amazing 🥺

⚠️ Issues: I did my best to minimize it, but some exaggerated poses may feature clipping between the shoulder and the collar ruffles. This top also works best with high-waisted bottoms that are tighter around the waist; I tried to make it as loose as I could and let it sit lower than the waist seam, but more than this would make it would look goofy if paired with something more form-fitting.

For teen-elder females. Everyday, Formal, Career, Maternity. Not enabled for random.

4 channels, 3 presets. The first preset has a recolorable brooch, the other two have no brooch but do have recolorable buttons.

Original items not required.

Recommended: the gorgeous vintage conversions by @joojconverts, but especially the skirts in this set.

Also see: the Prairie Set by Aminovas contains a blouse that's very similar to this one! The sleeves, waist and textures are a bit different, though.

Three more hampers from repurposed meshes!

Self-explanatory! 😆 For the Alvaro and Release hampers I made bigger textures, so now all of them come in Amazing 512px (lol).

All three hampers come in two versions:

regular: these collect clothes only from the rooms they’re in.

super: will auto-collect all laundry on the lot, so only one hamper is necessary per lot. These require NonaMena’s Super Hampers script!

Both versions require the Ambitions EP! You can have both the regular and super versions installed at the same time, if you want. They all come in 3 presets, with custom descriptions and proper geostates.

Several items, repurposed into functional hampers

While digging around my to-do folders, I came across this "maybe" project that I decided to try my hand at. There was a bit of a learning curve, since I haven't had to deal with geostates in years, but I eventually got the hang of it.

Issues: some hampers' textures may look blurry while you're recoloring them/in CASt mode, but they look fine in Live Mode.

Ambitions Reward Medals Basegame Compatible & Buyable

I got this as an ask from anon and it seemed quick & easy enough, so here you go. These are wall decorations, unrecolorable, can be shifted up & down the wall, cost $50 and can be found in Sort by Room \ Bedroom, Living, Dining, Office (under Wall Decorations for each) and Sort by Function \ Decor \ Wall Decorations. They won’t interfere with the regular medals obtained through the professions/careers. You don’t need Ambitions to use them, and they won’t show up with the Ambitions icon in the catalog.

The Ultimate CAS Catalog Overhaul - for real this time!

@lorasandolasbycz asked:

Hi! I love that you made ridiculous sims 3 outfit hiders. Is the procedure with putting them in and getting them to work just the standard? Put the package in sims 3>mods>packages ? For some reason the ridiculous outfits are still in my game. Thanks a bunch! 

Well this turned out significantly longer than I anticipated 😂 I did notice that those hiders weren’t working anymore for some reason, but figured it was just my game being pissy, so I left them up and went through ALL sim CAS items again to reorganize them (it was long overdue anyway). This is what I’ll be posting here. It’s a long-ass post, so check under the cut for details.

This applies for all EPs minus ITF, and for HELS. Also I did not initially mean to share these, so only the hairs have previews (because I gave them custom thumbnails). All of them are default replacements, meaning you need to have the EPs/SP for them to do anything. You can put them in any folder you want, as long as it’s under Mods\Packages.

Smaller dressers

Continuing from @packagedblyss‘s work (shoutout!), here are dressers from the expansion packs (minus ITF)! As opposed to the smaller desks, these dressers truly are 1-tile only and this time I kept their original presets.

The most challenging part were the vanity-type dressers since moving the vertices of the parts where the mirrors connected to the “body” would screw up the UV map, so I had to resize them with that in mind. The mirrors ended up quite small for the sake of maintaining proportions, but I think they would look cute as toys for kids! I normally place armchairs beside them anyway 🙂

There are 16 dressers, from all EPs (minus ITF) and HELS.

Details - all the dressers are basegame compatible; - they be found in the same categories as the original dressers; - they cost roughly 50% of their 2-tile counterparts; - the Egypt dresser actually had a hidden third stencil, which is a combination of the other 2. I enabled it and added a fourth preset, with recolorable handles; - I included 2 variations of the Late Night wardrobe: one as tall as the original, and a shorter one.

Smaller desks

Hi again! I remembered Blyss’s 1-tile dressers and thought “why not try this with desks?”. A lot of desks (especially the basegame ones) look too wide and, when placed to the left of a bed, don’t allow sims to use that bed if another sim is using the desk. So. Much. Arm. Waving. So, I made the meshes smaller and adjusted the bounding boxes and the placement of the slots. They still show up as 2-tile objects, but they’re 65% the length of the original desks (I tried making them 1-tile but most clipped with some chairs and didn’t look good).

Edit: I forgot to mention—there are 17 desks!

Routing - If placed next to a bed, sims will be able to use the bed while another sim is using the desk (2-tile desks don’t allow this if placed on the left side of the bed). - You can place two desks right next to each other and sims will be able to walk between them (though only if there’s no other route).

Details - all the desks are basegame compatible; - can be found in the same categories as the original desks; - they cost roughly 50% of their 2-tile counterparts; - some desks come with 3 custom presets (the ones which I really hate the original presets to). You can see them in the previews; - the Dorm Desk from UNI actually had both an overlay and a stencil enabled at the same time for the books, so I left the overlay for one preset and the stencil for another; - they don’t interfere with the regular desks.

Ambitions & Late Night Trees made basegame compatible

This post has been in the queue for ages... They’re also available in World Builder, can be placed on slopes, separate files for picking and choosing.
