Okay, so this is an entry with no real Sims-related content, but it's going to have a lot of Medieval-related content. See, one of my pet peeves in any kind of historical costuming whatsoever is when people get mixed up on the 'historical' part-- saying 'Medieval' when they mean 'Lord of the Rings' or that a dress pattern works just as well for the Renaissance as for the French Revolution or the Victorian era... or thinking that 'fairy tale' is the same thing as 'historical.' (Another pet peeve is mixing your decades on Victorian crap, but that's a minor thing as relates to Sims 2.)
So this post is more of a guide to Medieval fashion than anything else, for my own reference, for anyone else who's interested, and in the hopes that some novice mesh-maker will look at some of the hats and go "I could make that. I could make that and Medieval Simmers would shower me with praise!" Because there aren't enough hats.
( Sims and Fantasy )
( Medieval clothing is NOT... )
( Medieval Clothing IS... )
( Reproductions of Medieval Clothing )
That's... admittedly all I have to-hand at the moment. I'll post more links as I find them, promise. Although I DO have a link to Go Fug Thyself, dedicated to finding and pointing out the worst in Medieval (and historical, but mostly Medieval) costuming on the intarwebs.
