I have what may be a brilliant idea, and thus, I have mesh requests. Anyone interested?

[hat_plays_sims]

OHGOD okay I have a sudden request list and it's all age conversions and/or sexyfeet and/or pregmorph additions.

I mean, mostly because I think I just figured out how to totally streamline my clothing to-do list AND unify the look of my game and bring you Medieval clothing that layers effortlessly from the scantest of scanties to big wintry fur coats.

1. Sexyfeet and Shoe Swaps
A. Kalynn's CU Simple Shift, found here. (Tapping at the Window or Past Eight O'Clock.) Silvain provides!
B.Heget's Perfect Tunics (straight sleeve, both lengths) with FantasyRogue's poulaines for TM-AM (I thought I had them. Turns out I do not)

2. Age Conversions
A. TO CF: Cynnix's edit of Needlecream's edit of a Liana dress, found here. Cynnix provides!
B. TO CM: Cynnix's edit of Ophelia's cross-less edit of Aligeth's Friar Tuck with FantasyRogue's Poulaines, found here. Cynnix provides!
C. TO CF: Beryllium's Frig Dress, found here. Cynnix provides!
C. To CM: Heget's Perfect Tunics with long and short fitted-sleeve tunics (steal the sleeves from these girls' gowns!) with poulaines, and a short, basic-sleeved tunic (01/02) with poulaines.

3. Morphs
A. Pregmorph: Bloom's Bigger Rounder Pregnant Belly TF True Nude, found here. (It explodes. Pls halp!)* Turns out it was my default version, not Bloom's original. But Cynnix provides!
B. Pregmorph: Skell's Happy Holidays Euro Santa Robe, AM (TM if you want), found here.
C. Cocomama's TF Plantsim Conversion, found here.* Cynnix provides!
D. Tiggerypum's AM Alpha Tunic, found here. (TM at mesher's discretion; other shapes need morphs but this post is about Maxis shapes) Cynnix provides!

4. Combinations and/or Other
A. Cocomama's Wide Fur Coat Long (find Dicreasy's AF pregmorph here) is something I very much want for winterwear, but I need:
i. TF Conversion with Pregmorph Dicreasy provides!
ii. CF Conversion Cynnix provides!

B. K8 of Parsimonious's Fairy Witch Gown is an awesome fantasy style, but I feel it needs:*
i. AF Pregmorph Cynnix provides, at that link!
ii. TF Conversion with Pregmorph Cynnix provides again! Same link.
iii. AF & TF conversions made into Apartment Life witch defaults Morganna provides, but still at the same link!
iv. CF Conversion Cynnix provides!

D. The Sims 2 Store Castle Set Knight could use a gender conversion (just fix the necks; under that much padding everyone looks the same); I'm not dying for it but it would make the heraldry sets nice and symmetrical. Cynnix provides an AF conversion AND an AM pregmorph, PLUS Androgyny versions!

* = I have no new texture plans for this mesh but desperately want it edited anyway.

HERE IS MY GOAL:

LAYERS. Thanks, Heget, for that idea. I want to be able to make my Sims' underwear chausses match their casual chausses. I want all the colors and styles to coordinate. I want underwear that fits under the casual clothes, and I want everybody to have at least three different options (before even looking at color) for every clothing category, regardless of age or gender. My list of partially-completed things to do looks like this at the moment:

Diapers, smocks, and smocks with coifs for infants
Diapers, smocks, and shifts for toddlers
Braises, braises with chausses, shirts, shirts with chausses, and long smocks for CM-EM
Braises with simple breast wraps, braises with German breast bagges, short smocks, short smocks with hosen and garters, and long shifts for CF-EF

At least three, maybe five everyday outfits for infants
At least three, maybe five everyday outfits for toddlers

Top-only tunics for CM-EM
Bottom-only chausses with poulaines for CM-EM (same as I've already done, only in all 82 colors I use)
At least three, maybe five full-body cross-class outfits, CM-EM

Top-only shifts with contrast placket for CF-EF (Silvain is on this, meshwise)
Bottom-only kirtles with wide lacings for CF-EF (again, Silvain is on it)
At least three, maybe five full-body cross-class outfits, CF-EF

Cocomama's Fur Coat as outerwear for CF-EF
Skell's Euro Santa Robes as outerwear for CM-EM
At least two Gym-exclusive outfits for CM-EM
At least two Gym-exclusive outfits for CF-EF

and...
Heraldic plate for YA-EM, maille with surcote for TM-EM, and maille with tabard, formal surcote, and servant's livery for CM-EM
Heraldic plate for YA-EF, maille with tabard for TF-EF, and sideless surcote and servant's livery for CF-EF
Better-Researched Viking Hangeroks for CF-EF, with accessory treasure necklaces

And then I'm still trying to give swimwear some thought. In the Middle Ages, swimwear was either 'underwear,' 'skinny-dipping,' or 'what you were wearing when you fell in the water.' And while I don't object to that, I also can't ever remember which category is 'swimwear' on the friggin' Clothing Tool, so I feel like I ought to add SOMETHING visually distinctive, really.

Heraldic sets will come in the seven colors that were legal heradrly in the High Middle Ages (red, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and white), with and without devices, underclothes without hose will be in sixteen eight linen colors, underclothes WITH hose in at least 82 (I may do some parti-colored hose, I have ideas), and all regular Casual-Maternity-Formal-Gym-Outerwear outfits will come in about 82 colors. Anything I can texture-reference will be texture-referenced (and I want your opinion: I want to do very modest nursing slits on some TF-EF shifts and smocks. Would you rather I do versions with and without the slits or could you care less?) to save space, and I'll be pulling my no-bust-shading trick again so that if-or-when conversions to other body shapes happen, I can just texture-reference away with no worries.

I think I really need to separate the Medieval Pregmorph List from my wishlist, though. There are a lot of meshes on it I don't really use, or would love to get rid of, but it's still a useful reference for what meshes made without pregmorphs got them, and which ones still need them.

CU shift with sexyfeet for you, with one of Kalynn's textures- https://www.box.com/s/udqswjb22f3boz7ixln2

[harpers_child]

i think i chose a really good time to start playing a themed game.

Oh, look, you posted (heget here)

Crap. Did I not actually send you all the perfect tunic meshes?


Okay- at work right now, but when off can send (with morphs and teen ages):

Original perfect tunic (long) with basic sleeves & maxis bare feet aka Seven Years War set

Original perfect tunic (long) basic sleeves SF

Original sleeves w/ Robin Hood boots and poulaines and version with the gathered sleeves- and shorter tunic length- for the life of me I can't remember if there is a version of each- I know there should be meshes of both lengths with both shoes options but not a version of every style with the regular sleeves...


The version of the tunic with modified Romeo sleeves hasn't been sent out for morphs and teen conversions, but it exists.


We totally need to collaborate on a perfect tunic mega project...

Oh good. I don't use sexy feet, but I'm glad that mesh will get more use.

I may have a teen version of Cocomama's coat. I'm actually pretty sure I do. I make conversions and morphs when I get frustrated with their lack and the forget I did it until I see WCIF posts. I'll poke around for it tomorrow. I may be able to do a conversion for kiddos too. I need a nice, simple conversion project to take my mind off the linen caps I keep blowing up in spectacular and unusual ways. Plus, I always need outerwear.

Umm, just noticed this. When you say 'alpharobe' under "Heget" - what mesh are you refering too? I'm assuming one of mine (and geez, I have a few clothing meshes out there now, yikes!) Because I think I finally called the 18th cen master coat mesh 'alphacoat' and there's that (failed, honestly. I remember the bone assignments weren't perfect and would have been a nightmare to try to get right) fullbody male mesh of a long robe. Which maybe if the arm joints were fixed- I think Cynnix said they were missing some? ...been so long... -I might resurrect the shape as a non-alpha just to have an even longer tunic - but I think the UV mapping isn't best and honestly, heget, the intelligent thing to do is add to the perfect tunic base....
And crawling through my Bodyshop I do have a mesh that goes to mid-calf that is loose and baggy and really likely needs some serious overall...

Or were you thinking take the alpha robe of the 18th century suitmesh (which the alpha part is a bit longer than it's used for the suit recolors) and switch the pant bottoms for something more 1200s instead of 1700s? because I'm starting to think that.

Or it is something completely different?

I figured it'd be easier for me to do this, rather than anyone else. Teen conversion of my edit of Cocomama's wide fur coat: https://www.box.com/s/l4apbqdzaye4p5xpz55w :D

The included texture is an AAS one I have in my game.

Cocomama's TF plantsim edit

Hi Hat! I added the preg morph to the TF plantsim mesh for you :)
