Continuing (inadvertently) my IP conversions, here are three swimsuits that weren't (to my knowledge) already available for elders. I chose to enable the Sequined Swimsuit only for Swimwear, despite the YA/A being available under only Everyday for some reason.
ℹ️There are two versions of these outfits: the ones marked “reqIP” require the Island Paradise EP since they reference the adult textures from it. The others are BGC.
For elders. Swim, Career, Maternity. Not enabled for random.
4 channels, 3 presets (except for the 'Sequined', which has 4) identical to the YA/A ones.
This is a set that aims to fill in some gaps of the Island Paradise EP, namely the fact that the more versatile tops aren't available for teen-elder.

This is an edit of one of the tops that comes with Island Paradise. I've never been a fan of the original (wearing lace directly over bare skin must be really itchy!) or its presets, so I made the following changes:
new undershirt, with the texture of the Buttoned-down Shirt;
fixed some bleeding around the collar;
gave some details (pocket, bow, collar, lapels) more definition;
fixed the UV mapping on the LOD1 GEOMs of the elder version, which had some really ugly shadows on the lapels;
made new presets, added separate channel for the buttons.
I've included several versions of this edit, in the same archive:
default replacement (adult-elder): requires IP, changes _XML, CASP and GEOM resources; will conflict with recategorizers;
basegame compatible (adult-elder): doesn't require IP or conflict with anything, the AF and EF packages are independent of each other so you can pick and choose. Polycount: 3.2k;
UV map fix only (elder only): default replacement, doesn't conflict with recategorizers or include any of the other changes.
Other details:
For Everyday, Formal, Career. Not enabled for random.
4 channels, 3 presets. The default version contains updated EA-style thumbnails, the non-default one has custom thumbnails.
Preview credits: 1, 2, 3.

Sooo you know how the cropped jacket that came with IP has a row of coins at the bottom, but they look glued-on because the transparency doesn't work properly? This issue has been bugging me for literal years, but I never bothered to set to work seriously on it, whenever I remembered it existed. And what better time to work on it, if not 1 AM?
This fix requires the Island Paradise EP; it's a default replacement. I only changed the shader of the coin row groups to SimHair, copied a bit of the transparency over to the multiplier's alpha map, and updated the thumbnails. This fix does not change anything about the CASP resource, meaning it's compatible with recategorizers.
The Ultimate CAS Catalog Overhaul - for real this time!
@lorasandolasbycz asked:
Hi! I love that you made ridiculous sims 3 outfit hiders. Is the procedure with putting them in and getting them to work just the standard? Put the package in sims 3>mods>packages ? For some reason the ridiculous outfits are still in my game. Thanks a bunch!
Well this turned out significantly longer than I anticipated 😂 I did notice that those hiders weren’t working anymore for some reason, but figured it was just my game being pissy, so I left them up and went through ALL sim CAS items again to reorganize them (it was long overdue anyway). This is what I’ll be posting here. It’s a long-ass post, so check under the cut for details.
This applies for all EPs minus ITF, and for HELS. Also I did not initially mean to share these, so only the hairs have previews (because I gave them custom thumbnails). All of them are default replacements, meaning you need to have the EPs/SP for them to do anything. You can put them in any folder you want, as long as it’s under Mods\Packages.

Hair retextures
The hair retextures are only for the hairstyles I decided to keep! Not all hairstyles are retextured! No, I won’t be doing more. Yes, you can use my textures to retexture your own. Yes, I kept the mullet hair from the Basegame. Who do you take me for?

IMG edits
I use these alongside other IMG and mesh edits: [x], no UL stencils, [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x].
Basegame: a merged version of all my texture edits: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Ambitions: this edit for the low-level stylist outfit: 1.
Island Paradise: stencil-less version of the male vest, plus this: 1.
Late Night: a few specular edits, a stencil-less version of the muscle shirt, plus this specular edit: 1.
Showtime: specular edits of two dresses.
University Life: stencil-less version of the male hoodie, plus this: 1.
CASP edits
Recategorizers and hiders for sim CAS content - tops, bottoms, outfits, shoes, accessories -, all ages. Open each package in S3PE and use S3OC to see which item is which; there are over 1.5k entries so I have no time to go through every one of them again. At most I can show you how part of my catalog looks (see photoset above). Note that I also use Nraas Master Controller to compress the catalog so that only one preset is displayed.
Pets Riding Leggings Edit (BottomEP5RidingPants)
This is an edit that gives all the channels the same color (the mask is intact so they can still be recolored as usual) and rearranges the presets so that the all-black one is first. It comes with EA-match thumbnails to reflect the color changes. It applies to both genders, teen-elder.
This is an edit of the blazer top that came with IP, which had these leaf/feather motifs that made it not as versatile as other tops. This edit does away with these motifs on the first preset only; the other 2 are unaffected. As such, the first preset only has 3 channels. For the elder version, I switched the first 2 presets around so that the dark blue one is first, to match the adult version.
For young adult - elder males (BGC files are separate).
EA-match thumbnails for DR, custom thumbnails for BGC.
Available under Everyday, Formal, Career, Random.
Download: default replacement | basegame compatible | both
I haven’t done one of these in a looong time 😃 Did it mostly because I’ve been using this top to test something else and the harsh shading kept annoying me. The specular has also been edited to reduce the shine. Now and I might actually use this top for once, haha.
It’s a default replacement that works for adult - elder females.

Here you go, anon :) And hell yeah, we do! (for reference)
Female and male Stylist hairstyles coming soon.
Issues: these hairs are badly made!
1. You can see fragments of mesh (? idk what that is) which are normally somewhat obscured by EA’s shitty textures. Sadly, IDK how to fix them.
2. Since the hair is wispy, the roots are sometimes visible through the strands. Might want to keep the roots close to the base color.
3. The tips of the long hair clip into the sim’s body. Not a problem for females, but males have a bulkier body mesh, so expect that.
I also threw in a hairstyle from Island Paradise that I thought was better made than these (the one from the first preview).
+ Teen - Elder unisex.
+ Custom thumbnails only. Separate packages.
+ Enabled for more categories (e.g. Outerwear), including Random.
+ Will conflict with CASP edits of the same hairs (recategorizers, hiders). Since Arisuka’s versions were CASP edits, these retextures will conflict with her recategorizers.
