No fancy song name for this one because I'm boring and couldn't think of anything. But I'm just in time for the start of October! Which is fitting, because I managed to create something that is authentically "whimsigoth". It's inspired by these skirts that I saw on Pinterest.
This mesh is a shoeswap and slightly shortened edit of Azaya's velvet slit skirt, which was a mesh by Skell based on Amaryll's slit dress. The shoes are Yuichen's edit of Gelydh's cyber boots. It comes in 8 solid colors and 8 patterned versions. It has both morphs, it's for AF only, and the mesh's poly count is 1130.
Full disclosure:
- There are a few issues with the mesh that I don't know how to fix, such as clipping at the botton of the skirt when the sim walks.
- The patterned versions have a visible seam where the torso meets the waist, because the skirt's texture is high-waisted. This can be covered by top meshes that are not 'close' to the skin.

Ladybug Eyes - an eyeset in 36 colors, mswn v3 sclera
Based on the famous Beetle Eyes by Squea converted 4t2 by Falkii, layered with Kahlenas' Hypnotic Eyes which are based on the Window Seat eyes by Mouseyblue, then edited and recolored a lot.
The catchlight is slightly bigger, sharper, and much brighter, and the colors are more vibrant as I like eyes that have vibrant (albeit human) colors.
I made two full sets of human defaults + alien default. You get two options: dark blue as dark blue, and dark blue as hazel because I've decided that for my game having two blue colors is redundant.
If you want dark blue as dark blue, you can keep the custom hazel and toss the custom dark blue. If you want dark blue as hazel, you can keep the custom dark blue and toss the custom hazel. There's no point in having both custom and default of either.
36 custom colors - including the default colors as custom, in case you don't want to replace your defaults with these.
For the human colors you have custom only, geneticized, or geneticized and townified options. Pick only ONE. (Genetic scale is based on Maxis's and is set to 1 for brown, hazel, and dark blue, and 2 for grey, green, and light blue).
Alien colors are custom only and are not townified, their genetic values and whether or not they generate on townies can be adjusted as you see fit.
You also have the option of the custom alien colors as contact lenses, found in the blush category. They are layerable with other blushes and can be used alongside the custom alien eyes.
There are some other supernatural options but I didn't make defaults for those because I just put them on my pre-existing supernatural skins instead. Those are included in PNG form.
This set comes with a folder full of transparent PNG files and a set of PSDs that you can use for literally anything you want - resclera them, put them on your skins, edit them until they look completely different - as long as it stays free.
I named them Gemstone Eyes because they remind me of gems, I guess...
As always, this set comes with 3 options: Custom Only, Geneticized, or Geneticized & Townified (GenTown). The files use the same packages, so pick only ONE folder when you put these in your game.
Genetic scale - this time around I categorized them by color: 1 (dominant) for Brown, 1.5 (semi-dominant) for Hazel and Dark Blue, 2 (recessive) for Green, Grey, and Light Blue, and 2.5 (very recessive) for Purple and Red.
Townification - all eyes are townified (which, for those unaware, means they will appear on randomly generated townies) except for Purple and Red due to the fact that, while I like them, purple and red eyes aren't naturally occurring colors. You can change this by editing the "flags" part of the XML file in SimPE from 0x00000008 to 0x00000000.
I also included PNGs in case anyone wants to resclera them.

Recently, I was very inspired by "Whimsigoth" fashion, and I had a vision to create clothing like that for TS2. I had another vision inspired by these velvet pants with star decals on them, and I wanted to create ones that looked exactly like them. Unfortunately, the first vision is still a work in progress as of making this post, and the second vision didn't quite come to fruition because I kind of went a little insane in the process of making these. As a result, I think most of the colors I picked for these pants are a bit too intense to count as anything resembling Whimsigoth at this point.
So instead, have these... vaguely goth-ish velvet pants instead. They count as... some kind of fashion style, right? Orange is a goth color if you put bats on it, right?
This set includes a tremendous 72 recolors of a shoeswapped mesh, combining @serabiet's GP10workpants conversion with Trillyke's Heartbreaker Loafers converted by @kestrelteens, with a texture by serenity-cc that I edited to look... vaguely like velvet.
There are 12 colors, with one set of solids and six patterned variants. See here: [OBLIGATORY GIANT SWATCH.PNG]
The pants are for adult females only (because I really didn't want to go through the tedious mesh creation process twice, I'm sorry. You're free to convert it to other ages/genders/whatever yourself, if you want to and know how) and it has both morphs. Lastly, the poly count for this mesh is 2942.

Moonlite Eyes - hand drawn eyes on Rensim's sclera
Drawing eyes is surprisingly therapeutic, so here's another set. I used various people's color actions alongside the colors I used for the previous set of eyes. The picture with all of the colors shows their genetic values, 1 being dominant and 2 being recessive. My logic was "lighter colors = recessive, darker colors = dominant".
Alongside defaults, the set comes with custom colors in 3 versions - Custom Only, Geneticized, and Geneticized & Townified. You can only have one version in your game at a time.

Curiousb's Magic Theatre Eyes, recolored and edited
I'm very, very picky when it comes to eyes for my Sims 2 game, so I've been looking for the perfect set...
During my search I found that I really liked the look of these eyes by Curiousb, but I didn't like the sclera they were on. So I decided to resclera them. And then I decided to start drawing over them, making small edits to the iris, changing the shine in the eye to look a bit different and painting over the new sclera (one by virtualpeople, I can't remember but I think it's this one) to be a bit whiter and a bit darker on top, because I didn't like how grey the edit I was using was. And then I decided to recolor them, and turn them into brand new defaults. I'm very happy with the result... for now, at least.
It comes in default colors only + an alien default. I might make more colors at a later date.
It may not be the most animation friendly eye set in the world, but I'm personally okay with that. Although I don't know fully how it works, you can probably use evannamari's sclera accessory on top of them to make it animate better.

HAPPY BIRTHIVERSARY part 2 - Crop Tops & Punk Skirts
FUN FACT: The Sims 2 (2004) was released 3 days before the date upon which I was released from my mother's womb, therefore making me younger than The Sims 2 by 3 days as of September 14th 2024, but objectively older by 6 years as of September 17th 2024. As of this post, it is now my birthday. I can feel the hands of time slowly pulling me into the earth. Let's celebrate!
Today's Very Special Birthiversary post includes a set of stylish, vaguely Scene-inspired clothes for ladies: 24 recolors of the Urban Primitive skirt, separated from the Maxis outfit by Skell, and 5 Goth themed patterned recolors and 5 bright solid recolors of the 4t2 Bow Crop Top by MDPthatsme, with black tank top undershirts attached using textures by DeeDee. The clothes are for AF and TF, with Standalone and Repositoried options for TF, and they come with all morphs.
All meshes are included and special characters that would make the game load slower (specifically hyphens) have been removed from the filenames. Since the skirt is from the ever popular Maxis Match Repository Project, you probably have the mesh for the skirt lying around in your Downloads somewhere, so make sure you don't have duplicates.
For the skirts, there are two versions with tights - one of which is a mashup of fishnets by Io (colored red and black) and the Maxis black and white stockings, and the other is the Maxis shorts+fishnets texture because I liked it - and one version with bare legs, which can be used with @themeasureofasim's stockings accessory boxes. (actually only a handful work, see under the cut)
The crop tops and the skirts are 'meant' to be paired together but, being separates, you can mix and match with any other top or bottom you want.

I have done my best to credit everyone who's resources I used. If I have misattributed or missed anybody, or if I have broken a rule in someone's TOU somewhere, please let me know.
Secondly, this is my first time 'retexturing' clothing instead of just recoloring it, as well as the first time I've done anything clothes-related in a very long time, so please be gentle to me with your criticisms and let me know if anything needs fixing <3
I wanted to recreate this outfit using only textures, because I know nothing about meshing and Milkshape scares me. As you can probably tell, I got a little carried away from the original goal.
I mashed a bunch of patterns, textures, and colors together on top of the crop top and skirt in an effort to learn 'advanced' recoloring of clothes in GIMP, as the most I've ever done before was just recoloring using pre-made PSDs. it was a bit of a disorganized disaster and there was quite a bit of blood, sweat, and tears. But the end results look... mostly nice, I think.
The arm warmers and fishnet gloves shown in the preview are a pair of accessories created by katsurinssims that I used to try to 'complete' the look, and are not included in this download.
Edit: im very sorry, I only tested a handful of the accessory stockings on the bare legs skirts, because I was very tired and there are A Lot of them, and assumed they would all work. But after a bit more testing, some of them have small gaps or poke through the boots, and the ones that are supposed to go over the crotch area end up looking like over the knee socks. Other than that, most of the knee high socks and tights work, but only on AF. I don't consider this a huge problem though, because a good amount of the tights work and the ones with gaps are barely noticeable.
There's a shoe swap that makes all of the boxes work with these skirts and I'll make another versIon of them with that mesh later.
Electric Eyes - hand drawn eyes on Rensim's sclera
It's been a long while since I've made literally anything but, for once, I was in a cc creating mood, so I decided to draw some eyes - mostly because there's very few sets of eyes out there that I really like and I wanted to see if I could make my own. This is the end result and I liked them enough to share.
They come in defaults and 9 custom colors. The custom colors come in Custom Only, Geneticized, or Geneticized & Townified versions. They use the same packages, so you can only have one version in your game.
