Those of you who have been around these parts for any length of time know my affinity for 1960s fashion, and ever since I made over the Scooby Doo gang in medieval revival for Halloween last year I've been hung up on tackling a recolouring project in that style. And thus the MERRY MODIEVAL collection was born! The collection consists of three dresses, a hat, a necklace and a belt, all designed with that special retro medieval flair in mind. Please note all items are recolours, so MESHES ARE REQUIRED. Item info and links to each mesh under the cut.

Sooo.. I may have a tiny bit of an obsession w the 60s, 70s & 80s, and therefore I've accumulated a lot of CAS custom content both made for and capable of working in that time-frame! Here is a (very non-finalized) master list of said CC. I will most likely edit this, or post a part two. (I am also 100% open to WCIFs regarding these decades, vague and specific!)
Full list below the cut, but creators shown in the preview are

1960s
Sets
@enriques4 & @serenity-cc's Back to the 60s set is a must have for bright 60s basics to mix and match
@sentate & @trillyke's 1990s-themed 2020 Collab has pieces that are perfect for mod fashions
From babydoll to boho, Sentate's April 2021 Collection has it all for late 1960s & early 1970s looks alike
For some gorgeous turn of the decade looks, be sure to nab @ice-creamforbreakfast's Date Night Collection
Clothing & Footwear
Create more early 1960s looks with @gilded-ghosts Earth Angel dress!
I love @ridgeport's Birdie skirt as a mod mini! It comes in tons of colors & excellent patterns
amythesailor's Twiggy dress is full of fun patterns and colorways!
If you need something bright, @deathpoke1qa's 60's dress and matching go-go boots are the way to go
Hair
@simduction's blog is full of big fun retro hairstyles, but their Nancy, Peggy, & Beecky hairs are some of my favorites of the bunch.
@daylifesims also has a ton of fun picks, Shades of Cool, Hammer Horror, Heavy Bangs, & their Daphne and Fred Hairs are best suited for 60s style
@joshseoh's Blaire hair is cute and curly for a peppy 60s chick!
@feralpoodles' Monique & Monica Hairs are sleek and modish, they're perfect on their own or with some accessory bangs
Lets talk beehives. @ravensim's Terri Hair is loose and wavy, ridgeport's Fleur Hair is stacked and layered. @candysims4 has two beautiful beehives, Follow Me & the long and sleek Bee Hair.
@glimersims' Sugar Hair is an adorable flippy half-updo
A more 50's style like @birksche's Higher Twist Hair is perfect for your older sims
And @okruee's Bordeaux Hair is a wonderfully messy bun
1970s
Sets
Lets start the decade off strong with Gilded-Ghosts & @surely-sims' Perfect Party Set, which includes some gorgeous Build/Buy items as well (and BB could and should be a masterlist of its own..)
@joliebean & @clumsyalienn's Slavic Allure set lends itself perfectly to hippie and prairie style looks in a gorgeous Eastern-European inspired package.
On the topic of hippie, clumsyalienn's Heatwave Pack is perfect for all your free-spirited Sims
And so is serentiy-cc's Bohemian Child collection- that fur coat is a must have
Now for something bold and fun, straight out of Sears, ice-creamforbreakfast's 70s-inspired November 2022 set
Clothing & Footwear
@glumbut has never let me down with their Sonny and Dahlia jeans, and their Aroa top is recent favorite of mine
I love using ridgeport's Phia Suit for some good late-70s professional girl vibes
Hair
I've got some more feralpoodles hair for you, her Diana Hair is perfect for all your flower children & the layered and windswept Lara & Farrah hairs are straight out of the late 70s
And of course more ice-creamforbreakfast, another Fawcett-inspired look with their Farrah Flip, and their Milla Afro is a must have, whether you make vintage sims or not.
@simstrouble's Mirela hair also lends itself to a more subdued 70s style
And if you're looking for a long shag, @kamiiri's got you covered with their Phoebe Hair
1980s
Sets
Joliebean's 5th Avenue Conversion is great for both 80s business & 80s-does-40s looks.
@zombietrait's 80s Goth Pack is perfect for, well, trad goth looks. It's a must.
@dogsill's Upside Down Pack is full of great basics and rockin hair.
A multiparter, @aniraklova's Wild and Stylish 80s sets are over-the-top in the best way possible. Make sure to check out all 3 parts!
Clothing & Footwear
Now, it wouldn't be the 80s without some Wall Street goodness, and @quiddity-jones' Double-Breasted Suit is perfectly patterned for all of your business needs.
Part 2 of @jius-sims' Retro Collection is sweet and classic, perfect for the 80s housewife, or your girl-next-door.
@cooper322's Blondie Jacket is just so splendidly rocker-chic.
More from joliebean, their Ultraviolet & Daytona dresses are wonderful for all sorts of patterned & neon looks
Hair
joliebean's Beatrix Hair is a fun cropped style, it works for all sorts of fem looks, but I especially love it combined with a classic powersuit
@goamazons' Gloria Hair* is equally classy, and even bigger
Now, it wouldn't be the 80s without curly (often permed) looks, so here's some, ranging in volume. Goamazons' Floris Hair*, simstrouble's Beatrice Hair, & @softerhaze's Rhiannon Hair are all long styles with cute curly bangs. simstrouble's Eddie Hair is similar, works for both frames, and rocks a shaggier mullet-style.
@candysims4-ccfinds' Bonnie Hair is a shorter curled look with plenty of volume
Kamiiri's got two hairstyles I *love* for this decade, the Simone Hair is a full, long, curly style, and the Celine Hair is shoulder length with beachy curls and just the right amount of volume.
Multiple-Decade
Sets
As hilarious as it is, ice-creamforbreakfasts' half of the My Wedding Trauma Set has some awesome pieces. The Kelly-Marie Hair works great for 80s looks, and the dresses involved are right out of the class of 1987's prom. It even has an Elvis-inspired jumpsuit. (Check out surley-sims' half for the matching sunglasses)
Clothing & Footwear
@melonsloth's Jolene Outfit is a wonderfully classic outwear piece
@casteru's Bodycon Wrap Dress is just that! It's simple and works great on 70s-80s ladies.
Jius-sims' Retro Collection has some great footwear as well, they're simple and classic enough for all sorts of decades looks
@hezzasims released some beautiful 50s-inspired pieces, though I think they work great in any decade!
Hair
daylifesims' Long Rose Petals hair is simple enough for any decade, though I particularly love it in the late 1970s & early 80s.
The same goes for simstrouble's Rhoda hair, it reminds me so much of my mom's when she was a teen in the 70s & 80s.
Hi everyone! A while ago I created this 60s style dress and then completely forgot about it!
Today I fixed the mods folders and I saw a folder on the sidelines with only "daisy dress" written on it.
Intrigued, I checked what it was about and remembered this dress I created!
I decided to share it with you and as always, I tested it in game and it works very well (if you have any problems feel free to contact me).
The dress comes in 10 colors, base game compatible, suitable for teens and elders.
Hope you like it!

Throughout my decades challenge, it’s been so difficult to find decade appropriate toddler cc so I thought doing lookbooks may be helpful to others. I hope to do all the other decades.

No problems spotted, but please note that the left line of the dress might look just a little bit distorted to the sides, but it’s really not that big of a deal!
* Note that teens and elders have unsolvable neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available!

ALL CREDITS GO TO @happylifesims! IT’S NOT MY MESH, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED IT TO THE SIMS 3!
