Victorian Simmer

Victorian story and custom content for The Sims 2

[victoriansimmer]

This 4t2 conversion is something I've been working on for a month or two now. It has challenged me in new and unexpected ways, and I've learned so very much. It has reminded me why I love The Sims 2 community--it is filled with kind, helpful, supportive people in a way that few gaming communities can boast.

Thank you to @letomills, The Historical Sims Discord, The Sims 2 Shenanigans Discord, and the PBK Discord for the advice and help troubleshooting.

This is a conversion of @notsooldmadcatlady's 1830s-40s Gentleman. It has 4530 polys, comes in TM, AM, and EM, and includes fat morphs. I've done my best to make sure all the morphs are looking smooth and nice. The way that elders hold their head forward does, in some positions, cause some clipping with the neck. I can't find a way to make this avoidable, but I personally don't find it horribly noticeable. It's only noticeable in some positions in-game. It looks worst in Create a Sim, shown below:

You can also see that the TM fat morph is wonky in Create a Sim as well, but it looks great in-game.

Regardless of these issues, I think you will love the mesh as much as I do!

I spent 8 years studying to be a historian of medicine. Since I'm out in the work force as a QIDP now, I don't have the opportunity for constant learning that I used to while in school. Learning meshing and conversions has really been scratching that itch. Every turn, there's a new problem to solve, mechanism to learn.

I wasn't expecting to run into weights on the wrong leg (look at that teeny tiny bit of pink where it should be completely green!), so I had to learn to manually assign bones. Thanks to the PBK, Historical Sims, and Sims 2 Shenanigans discords for their help troubleshooting!

Lifelong learning doesn't always look like your nose in a book, and I'm so happy to fall down new avenues every day.

That first pic is way over the top for a simple handswap preview, but it's a pretteh gown so I couldn't resist! 👗

An anon wondered if I'd be down for adding Smooth Hands to @victoriansimmer's conversion of Sifix's Aisha gown, which I totally was. Hence this post! And because I felt bad it took me a million years to get back to nonnie, I threw in a few other meshes as a bonus. So what you actually get is:

Six 4t2* Sifix Gowns with Smooth Hands

*Not all of them are actual 4t2 conversions.

The set includes:

Sifix Aisha Gown, 4t2 by Victoriansimmer (a.k.a the actual requested mesh)

Sifix Corrine Dress, 4t2 by @vulrien-sims

Sifix Eira Dress, 4t2 by Vulrien-sims (more RCs)

Sifix Evenstar Dress, 4t2 by Vulrien-sims

@deedee-sims' Sifix Knock Off Gown mashup* (a lower poly rendition of Sifix’s Arcadia)

Sifix Angelica Dress, 4t2 by @mdpthatsme

The download includes only meshes, you'll have to follow the links above to get recolors!

Usual disclaimers apply: You can have either the Smooth Hands mesh or the original in your Downloads, but not both at the same time! The new meshes won't automatically overwrite the old ones, so you have to delete them manually before adding these to your game.

Check the previews for each individual dress for info on polycounts and morphs.

Please enjoy! 💙

I am truly unwell at how beautiful this is! Thank you for such a wonderful addition of smooth hands to my conversion! Absolutely stunning.

[victoriansimmer]

This WIP is one of my favorites yet! My favorite part about converting and meshing is that I learn something new with each project! Figuring out how to do more in blender and less in milkshape is really a game-changer! Coming soon!

[victoriansimmer]

I am just so excited to finally have the beautiful Satterlly's Maid Eleanor dress in TF, AF, and EF in The Sims 2! She's got pregnancy and fat morphs, as well. Everything seems to be working fine in game from my testing, but, as usual, I am still an amateur and there's always room for improvement. She comes in 6 of the original colors.

For a future project, I want to add a capelet and make an outerwear version. Too many ideas, too little time. You'll definitely be seeing this in New Whitby during our current rotation at the Prices!

Please redownload! The TF morphs were missing! Thank you!

A set expanding on a request by @karlakoo, based on the 4t2 conversion of HappyLifeSims's Piteous outfit by @victoriansimmer. Much gratitude to @latmosims for so generously helping me out once again! We fixed up the AM mesh, then I added the fat and preg morphs, made 10 more recolors and converted everything for a bunch more body shapes. All in all, these are for: • Maxis-size TM, AM, EM • Androgyny TF, AF, AF • Melodie9 fat TM, AM-EM • Trans Melodie9 fat Male AF-EF

Polycount: 5,253. All have fat morphs, teens & adults have preg morphs. Categorized as everyday & formal. The recolors can be either standalone or repo'd to AM, and so @victoriansimmer's AM recolors are included for convenience.

Complete previews and details under the cut.

The swatch

Recolors 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19 are @victoriansimmer's (I just compressorized them and slightly increased the quality on pants textures of all but 1 & 12). The other recolors I added for variety.

First off, @latmosims fixed the ghost hitbox problem that this mesh had, which I can't really show in pictures but makes a big difference during gameplay.

Then we edited the bone assignment and overall shape:

Added morphs:

EM ↓

Androgyny AF (afAndro) ↓

Androgyny TF (tfAndro) ↓

Androgyny EF (efAndro) ↓

Melodie9 fat AM-EM (aemFat) ↓

This is incredible! And means I don't need to go back and fix all my early conversion mistakes! Stunning work!

[victoriansimmer]

Regency and Victorian TS2 OR TS4 players . . . what do your male domestic servants wear? I'm looking for things to convert!

[victoriansimmer]

My current WIP, the beautiful Eleanor maid's dress with a scalloped collar! Featuring sneaks at all her morphs, working beautifully! I've been fussing with the collar/neck for literally weeks at this point. I've chosen to leave a bit of a ridge around the apron during the pregnancy bump (featured here in it's second bump stage), but you'll have to let me know what you think.

It's going to be a hectic couple weeks, as we're pending on a house (second go lol, we'll see if the inspection blows everything up again). But, my plan is to release this dress with her full conversions to TF and EF as well. I'm hoping to get all of this done before the Big Move, so fingers crossed!

16 Days of gifts for 1600 Followers! I hit this milestone a while ago, but was taking a break from creating. I have been working on goodies for this for ages and I am finally ready to share.

Day 3: Quilt Trip. 66 quilted and knitted beddings.

With antique lace sheets for beds, on Jonesi's bed blanket and also as crib beddings with white details.

Textures taken from Sims 4 and a few different website. A lot of these are genuine antique or vintage quilts. Quite a few are civil era.

Always so fun to have new CC in my game! And relieved that my PC seems to handle high poly count dresses like a champ! When I made this dress, I knew I wanted to put Lisette Lawson in the light pink recolor.

[victoriansimmer]

I've been working on converting Sifix's Aisha from 4t2 for months now! This dress comes in 11 original colors (plenty of jewel tones and softer tones, white for weddings, and black for conservative mourning, of course).

Aisha comes with fat and pregnancy morphs! As always, there are a few imperfections where the body meets the dress, but I have minimized them to the best of my abilities by snapping vertices.

I hope your Victorian ladies enjoy!

New WIP! It's been a chaotic time working 6 days a week for the last 3 months, which is why you haven't seen much of me. I also learned a lot about snapping and merging vertices, so my meshes and body parts should connect much cleaner from here on out! I'm probably going to redo most of my meshes, but I wanted to practice with something new.

All that's left are morphs and recolors for this beauty!

[victoriansimmer]

Those of you who found me from my Victorian CC may not know that I actually spend most of my time over on Youtube! My Victorian Sims Challenge in The Sims 2 has been running for roughly 4 years and has brought so many of my favorite people into my life over on the Discord.

[victoriansimmer]

Just delighted to have discovered how to select vertices in the 3D panel! This is allowing me to functionally actually snap body part edges to the mesh itself, which is going to eliminate those little bits of body that stick out of the mesh with movement. Queue having to redo all my meshes!

4t2 @historicalsimslife's Matron Dress

The moment i put it on Isabella Monty, i knew i needed this dress for all my sims 2 matrons (specially her), so here we're now. The dress comes in all the original 20 colours, a swatch is included with the download. The dress comes for Adults and is enabled for Elders and is categorised as Everyday, Formal and Maternity.

I also converted the Sims 4 Base Game EF 15 Fabric Flat using the textures by @dancemachinetrait from their Pemberly Collection, specifically the Jane version, i just adjusted the colours to match the dresses a bit better.

⚠️ This is my first 4t2 conversion, and even when i played around with the mesh in my game and didn't saw anything concerning, if you notice something, please let me know.

A sneak at one of the most beautiful sims my game has ever churned out! Who knew Julian Price's son would look like this? Can't wait to explore more of Raphael's chaotic personality in the next Victorian Sims episode!
