Aka my first time making a whole collection, instead of just dropping things as I make them. Wowie! I feel like a real creator now. Maybe it's finally time to sell out and institute 3-month early access and join the marketplace!!!
Anyway–
I've been rewatching Anne with an E and planning a little historical gameplay-ish project, and as always the 1890s-1900s have been heavily on my mind. Today I bring a humble offering of pastoral countryside fashions - including a BGC conversion and mesh edit of the new boater hat, as well as a set of dresses for girls, and some daywear for ladies.
9 items, BGC, disabled for random. Individual item info below the cut!
Three variations of the same basic dress, for girls of varying levels of fancyness. The ruffle around the collar of the Diana dress is ripped straight from @vintagesimstress, so many thanks for her open TOU!
The Ruby and Anne dresses take their textures from Diana, so the Diana dress is required if you want the other two to work. Each dress comes in my 30 solids and 24 of @trillyke's plaids, as per usual. Located in the long dress category. The Ruby dress has had the top ruffle removed, and the Anne dress has slimmer sleeves and a less poofy skirt - because we can't all have nice things, even when we really really want them. Sorry Anne.
The apron overlay is found in rings, and it works with all three dresses - as well as possibly with other dresses, though I haven't fully tested it. The overlay for the collar ruffle won't show up on Ruby and Anne, as seen in the cover image, but it may clip with textures if you try and use it on other dresses. This overlay also comes in 30 solids and 24 plaids!
Marilla Blouse / Prissy Dress / Boater Hat
As I was making my Marilla sim for my save file, I found that I really didn't have a lot of good options for simple, plain Victorian-ish blouses, especially given Marilla's open disregard for puff sleeves. So, I made one! This is a recolor of a blouse from L&D, but it has been made BGC so everyone can enjoy! This comes in 30 solids and 24 plaids.
The Prissy dress is a combination of the ever-beloved Edwardian dress from Get Together and the ruffly top from the sleepover kit. It's perfect for tea in the garden, strolling around town, and abandoning an ill-advised marriage to go to University. It comes in my usual 30 solids with a white base, 6 colors with a black base, and 10 extra pastel swatches.
The boater hat is instrumental to the turn-of-the-century-pastoral-aesthetic, and I really loved this one from the prairie kit, but the crown was just awkwardly tall. I shortened it as much as possible, recolored it to hell, and converted it for children and toddlers. 30 ribbon colors on a beige base, plus 8 of them also on black.
recently made two 1870s dresses based off of some victorian fashion plates! i feel like theres a huge lack of 1870s/18880s fashion and i really felt inspired to create some more!

The Cecelia Dress has two versions, one without bows and flowers
Transitioning from the 1860s to the 1870s, the volume in skirts shifted to the back: the hoop skirt was out, and the bustle was IN! This trend lasted in different forms for the next 20 or so years. This era was also when sideburns reached their cultural peak, having been popularized by Union general Ambrose Burnside a decade earlier during the American Civil War. After the 70's, we also see earrings go out of fashion as upper-class society began to view piercing as a vulgar practice.

maxis match renditions of dutch and hosea's vests from rdr2. 2 packages with 6 different vests total. handdrawn and frankentextured details.
could be useful for historical play thrus in general, these are late 1800s victorian. therefore also useful for the vampire goths in the house. truly a multi-purpose conclusion to what began as a merely special interest-fueled endeavor.
specific details and more item previews below cut.
5 total swatches, 2 of dutch's vests and 3 of hosea's
dutch's vests are cleaner while hosea's are scuffed
I didn't see the chain on hosea's gold vest until it was too late but uh i'm tired alright. yes i did these all in one sitting. no i didn't have to. stop grilling me, man
u neck vest
requires romantic garden
11 swatches, 1 pattern and 10 different plain vests
couldn't find ONE clear photo of this outfit so i couldn't tell what the actual pattern is, but it looked like some kind of damask
Sorry to have disappeared for so long. It wasn't actually my intention to just dip and not post anymore. In November 2024 I started my first full time job and I've been doing additional work on the side, and for the first couple of months there was no energy for anything except sleep, food, work and daily life stuff. It took months for me to even open my game, even longer to make something for my game, and now i feel ready to share some of my creations again. I hope you like them :)
Here we have a hairstyle for elegant occasions, for example weddings or in your royal court, or for historical gameplay. I made this for my game and my mid-victorian world. But you can use this on many occasions.

I am back, once again, with a name replacement mod! After the success of my Medieval Name Replacement Mod, I knew I wanted to make more name replacement mods for historical TS4 players. And since the other most popular Decades challenge, besides the Ultimate Decades Challenge, is the original one that takes place from 1890 to the present, it only made sense to do a mod that replaces the names that are hardest to find within those decades.
That is why our next mod is full of names between the years 1800 and 1919, so it can work for those who play Regency gameplay as well.
How does it work?
It’s very simple. You download the mod, and put it into your mods folder, wherever you keep default replacements. Once the mod is in your folder, load up the game. In both CAS, randomly generated townies, and babies, the available names will only be selected from a pool of period appropriate names.
When in CAS, if you use the die to randomize a name, it will only give you appropriate names, like so:
When a townie is randomly generated in town, they will no longer have modern names, like so:
When your sim gives birth to a baby, the random name options will all be appropriately old fashioned, like so:
Is it compatible only with English?
It should be compatible with every language. I did it the same way that I did the updated version of my medieval mod, so it should also be compatible with Kuttoe's Townie Demographics mod, and similar mods.
Any details on the names you can provide us?
a little over 4500 English female names
a little over 4600 English male names
nearly 13,000 English surnames/bynames
the date range that these names should be appropriate for is between 1800 and 1919
the English names should be appropriate for all English speaking countries, because I tried to pull names from the appropriate timeframe in multiple countries
Indian names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Islander names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Japanese names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Moroccan names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Latin names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Native American names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
Southeast Asian names updated to be more appropriate to the time period
thousands of pet names (cats, dogs, and horses)
in the future, I intend to add names for the farm animals as well
Where did you get your names?
ALL over. Seriously, I scoured the entire internet for time period appropriate names. I couldn't begin to list my sources.
Any other details I should know?
base game compatible
you may only have one name replacement mod in your game at a time
this mod is subject to change as I find more names, so check back occasionally to see if the version is new!
if you have any questions or suggestions for names, feel free to message me
works for every age
will not replace the names of sims that have already been created
no names are memes - if you see a silly name, that was actually a name of a real life person sometime between 1800 and 1919
Disclaimer: The Indian, Islander, Moroccan, Latin, Native American, and Southeast Asian names were incredibly hard to find, so they may not be appropriate to the time period. The only names I could properly find were Japanese names. If you want to help me find better, more time period appropriate names for any of these, please feel free to send me a message!
