4t3 Conversion from Sentate’s & Rusty’s The Timeless Collection
A 4t3 conversion from a big set with fashion history all around, now to ts3! This come as a huge “thank you”, for reaching the wonderful mark of 900 followers! It seems like a lot of you wanted this, so I went ahead and converted it, took me a while tho haha! Working with black stuff in ts3 can be really challenging as well, but I think I did good! A lot of stuff to say, but please read it all! Hope you like it! Enjoy! <3
The “Barbie Hair” (hair in the middle, on preview picture) has some texture problem right at the top of it, where it seems the UV goes out of the space. Tried fixing it multiple times, moving texture, creating a big border, importing scalp, but nothing worked, and the scalp looked hideous. It’s only when you zoom far away and in darker hair colors tho, so I hope it’s not that big of a deal, sorry!
The “Lady Jackie Gloves” (gloves in the middle, on preview picture) don’t work that nicely, with a lot of hand poses. I literally tried everything, from trying to delete the hands, to doing frankenmesh with other creators’ gloves. I ended up doing the final version with the latter, and combining the ts4′s gloves with @studiok2sims meshed gloves, which are still not out. Even after this the hands. still. clip. It makes me so mad, because I spent two whole afternoons trying to fix it, and it’s still not good, I’m so sorry if it doesn’t meet your expectations, just know I really tried!
Some stuff can have a bit of color banding or noise on textures, because they’re on black! That’s not on my end tho, since I really did everything I could to prevent this from happening, texture techniques, specular, etc. So know this is coming from the game!
The 50′s trousers (pants) is the item that most suffers color banding and noise, for some reason, since it’s not even black. Tried replacing textures multiple times with lighter swatches, Topaz Denoise, Clean, and nothing worked. So once again, I’m sorry, but the game did it.
The “Floral Dress’” mask isn’t really great! I tried some selection techniques on Photoshop to make two really separate channels, but it’s not that great, sadly! Sorry!
* Note that teens and elders have unsolvable neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available!
LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS!
ALL OG CREDITS GO TO @sentate & @rustys-cc! IT’S NOT MY MESHES, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED THEM TO THE SIMS 3!
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DOWNLOADING:
A lot of these accs are located in the same spot in CAS, so you’ll need to use NRaas MasterController (an essential mod) to use some stuff, although I optimized almost everything to work together! See the picture below to see where to enable multiple accs in the same slot (Nraas -> MC -> Config -> CAS):
Everything is totally recolorable, with additional 15-17 presets for you to use, with the exception of some items! It goes from floral, to some other fabrics! From all these patterns, only 3 are overlays! Once again, I was just not able to put the masks on display because it would just be way too many photos and everything would be polluted! But know they’re there, as you can see in the first preview picture! You’ll have to check them out by yourself!
This entire set has the new thumbnail style I already included in the “Medieval Undergarments” post! Wanted to let you know, for better navigation!
All necklaces have morphs, so you can make the perfect look in all kinds of sims! Tested them in all of this set’s items, so I’m not responsible if they may explode with really high poly outfits!
The “Lady Jackie Hat” has two versions: one specifically made to be worn with the short wavy hair, and another one made to be worn with everything else! Just wanted to make that an option! Both hats have the same thumbnail, they’re both for males and females, teen-elder, hat slider compatible, and CAStable (in preview, a pattern is used)! That’s also why there are 32 items in this set, and not 31 haha!
In TS4, the “Cristobal Hat V1″ has some nice shine on it, which I simply have no idea how was made. I don’t seem to find it on specular map, nor normal map. It almost looks like an overlay. Either way, I’m almost sure I wouldn’t be able to reproduce it on ts3, so I made this version myself, cloning the hat and making a transparent layer to it! I hope it’s useful, since I work with what I can hahaha!
