Sims 3t2 Conversion : Happily Ever After Humble Gowns.

Hi guys!
I'm way, way behind with my backlog of goodies to share over at Plum Bob Keep. (Oops. Just moved), But all that pent-up energy had to find an outlet somewhere - here's the result of a week in a new flat with no internet!



I finally figured out how to do conversions for Teens and Elders, so they aren't left out whilst my female adults are prancing around in all their converted best! This is the Humble Gown from the Sims 3 Store 'Happily Ever After Set'. I have much more to come from that set for ladies!

As I had plenty of time on my hands, I've done four recolours for each set. I thought this would be a nice period replacement for witches rather than the 'Halloween Fun' dress-up outfits EA gave us, so I did one in Blue and One in dark black and purple for your good and evil sorceresses respectively. I then did a 'vaguely Spanish' recolour in red and black because the outfit style vaguely reminded me of Carmen. You can see the recolours here below:



And finally, you can download the set here

Enjoy!

Amelie's First Conversion! Sims 3 Palace of Versailles Set

Hello again people! The above meshes are why you've seen so little of me  for a while. I've been wrangling MilkShape and SimPE to produce my first ever Sims 3 to 2 conversions - following Serenity-Fall's excellent clothing conversion tutorial, cursing when it went wrong/exploded, trying again... So far, this is the best I can do.

(They're far from perfect - there's some grey shadows I don't seem to be able to get rid of - so if anyone wants to improve/shoeswap, mess with the meshes I've made, please feel free!)

Anyhow, on to the gowns...



I love these gowns, and I've wanted conversions of them forever - but I'm not actually sure why, as they're not actually very 18th century. They're more a high-school play version of what people vaguely think 18th century is. Ribbons? Check. Goofy ribbons and roses absolutely EVERYWHERE? Check and check. But I've converted them now, so my "Mean Girl" 18th century ladies can wear them.


"Mon Dieu, Reinette, that gown is so fetch!"


First off, my favourite, if only for its potential:

Country Palace Gown





This is... well, it ain't 18th century, what with the puffy sleeves. But it does look pretty darn close to a 17th century "Three Musketeers/Cavalier" style gown, and there certainly isn't enough clothing for Simmies there. Converted for the recolour possibilities. Comes with fat and pregnancy morphs. Categorised as Casual and Formal.

Latest Fashion Frock





I call this one the Candyfloss dress, because it's so sugary-sweet. I'm also oddly addicted to sticking my Sims in it for portraits...Comes with fat and pregnancy morphs, categorised as Casual and Formal. I didn't convert it with the ribbon necklace, as VampireKiss6661 has made a gorgeous version of this as an accessory here:http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=239

Morning in the Garden Frock





Probably my favourite, although the skirts seriously pain me. The EA guys went to all the trouble to do a sack-back 18th century dress, and then made it straight up and straight down like a cheap fancy-dress costume. Bleh.
I did discover it looks lovely as an 18th century dressing gown for my ladies to have breakfast in, so I've categorised this one as Nightwear as well as Casual and Formal. Again, come with fat and pregnancy morphs.

I've only done one texture per mesh, as I didn't feel up to making a zillion recolours. But the meshes are there for people to play with! Feel free to edit, recolour and use away

Credit goes to the awesome SerenityFall over at Livejournal for the tutorial, and the very helpful davinaojoeda here at PBK for advice and support through meshing fails.
