Hi! I'm a Sims 2 simmer with delusions of making an Akkadian-themed save (either a period save file or a Neo-Assyrian Empire... In.... Space!, like how Star Trek likes to do Space Rome, depending on how much and which CC I can get my tentacles on.).
Unfortunately, no one has done any good Akkadian CC for Sims 2 yet. There's a fair bit of Egyptian and Greco-Roman CC, but *zero* Akkadian.
I was wondering- are you okay with 4t2 conversions? I know some people have an open TOU within their game of choice but don't like game conversions, so I figured I'd rather ask than be sorry.
Thank you so much for your time, and for making such cool CC!
Hi! This sounds so cool (Neo-Assyrian Empire in space is such a fun concept). I'm totally fine with 4t2 conversions, so go for it! I'd love to see what you make.
Finally converted the male version for women. Includes an attached top designed with an open front, so you can layer it with a nude top or a wrap underneath. Or this undershirt.
Historically Accurate CC for your Sims 4 gameplay, based on this jade necklace currently on auction:
Turtle imagery represented the watery surface separating the sky from the underworld. The turtle also served as an earth metaphor and had fertility connotations. In addition, the turtle was believed to be an ally of the Maya rain god Chac. Its carapace was worn by Mayan bacabs, avatars of the rain god, and oftentimes turtle shells accompanied Mayan rulers in their graves to ensure new life and fertility in the Otherworld.
Jade was revered by the Maya not only for its beauty, but also because it had spiritual power - it was believed to be the embodiment of the wind and the "breath" that formed the Maya soul. In addition, scholars argue that its color was associated with water and vegetation.

Terms Of Use
Recolors are fine, but I insist, do not include the mesh or re-upload. The texture and mesh were made by me, and it took a long time and a portion of my sanity with it, so please be cordial about it.
A visit to Kastro Daskalió will be a visit to remember! This is a build made for my Early Civilization save, but can easily be adapted to more modern times if you are not stuck in the past like me 😁.
More info, photos and download link below the cut
The shape was inspired by the pyramid shaped ancient Daskalió, a small islet west of Keros in Greece. It's has really fascinating history, going back almost 5000 years, and the archaeologists are still excavating. Read more here.
I built this on the Chieftain's Villa lot in Sulani, but you can place it wherever you want. It's CC heavy, and will not look good without it. As always I've included a list with links for all items used.

The lot contains some of my own recolors/CC, and I've also used CC from the following creators:
The outfit is an edit of @teanmoon's gorgeous Minoan Maiden Dress. Thanks to Inga's generous TOU, the mesh is not required, but it is recommended! I removed the bust covering, added an apron, and converted the dress to the bottoms (skirt) category, so your sim can remain topless with the outfit applied.
Inspired by @vroshii's Egtved dress and using the mesh and texture of the disk found on this dress, I have made a version for more matronly sims. Also, a layered necklace, and matching bracelets. Thank you vro for your open TOU!
There are a few swatches for the dress, but they are variations of brown, gray, and white undyed wool. Although the Bronze Age Norsemen had access to materials that could produce dye, there is zero evidence that they actually dyed their clothes before the start of the Iron Age. They were, however, experts at metalsmithing, hence the magnificent jewelry.
