Casual Shirt and Jacket (2 styles)


Since I decided to jump in the deep end again, I took on another frankenmesh project, my second since the coat and tee a few months back. This one is a mashup of a 70/80/90's open shirt and a jacket from UL. What we now have is a casual shirt and jacket with one version with a t-shirt, and another without . I really like the end result so I hope you all do too.

A small note: due to the jacket having to be shrunken on the UV map to accommodate the shirt, the jacket has 2 recolourable channels: the arms and the torso. This was done so I could change the pattern repeat so there wasn't a pattern size difference between the arms and torso parts of the jacket. I find the jacket looks best in solid or large print patterns as smaller patterns tend to be blurry. It is just the sacrifice I had to make to have this outfit in my game. I just wanted to let you all know. Feel free to experiment.

There are 4 recolourable channels for the version with the t-shirt; 2 for the coat (so the pattern tiling could be corrected), the shirt and the tee and 3 for the version without the tee. The t-shirt version is found in everyday, sleepwear, athletic, and outerwear, while the version without the tee is found in those categories minus outwear (I sure as hell don't like a bare chest in winter and I doubt my sims do either). Each outfit has a different download since they are on separate meshes so you can choose which version you like best, or have both in your game. Each top comes with 3 preset styles and custom thumbnails. The archive contains both the sim3pack and the package files so delete the one you are not using. I have also included the preview pictures in each folder. I hope you enjoy :)

Modern Panelling Wall Set


Today I bring you a new panelling set for exterior and interior use. I always loved the panelling that came with LN, but there were errors made on the files and I wanted more variation, so I made these. What we have here is a set of 8 walls, in large and medium sized panels, found in panelling at a cost of $5 per wall. Each wall has 2 recolourable channels. The exact walls in the set are:
  • Vertical Large
  • Vertical Medium
  • Horizontal Large Left
  • Horizontal Large Centre
  • Horizontal Large Right
  • Horizontal Medium Left
  • Horizontal Medium Centre
  • Horizontal Medium Right

The walls are described as:

"Not all panelling is meant to be seen in grand mansions. Rediscover a new, simple panelling with a contemporary feel. Try it out inside, outside, wherever you like. Re-imagined and brought into the present. Try it out for yourself"

The archive contains the preview pictures and both the sim3pack and package files. So choose your preferred method of installation and delete the rest. I hope you enjoy :)

Edit: fixed the package files so the size is more in line with sim3packs. Apparently packages exported from TSRW are larger then sim3packs. Please re-download

Henley Shirt - Style 2


Hey everyone! Well I know I have 3 versions of Henley tops, but I love them so much I decided to make another slight variation. This time it is an unfolded collar. Yeah, yeah, I know its not a big difference but I still wanted it in my game. If you are not fond of the other versions this one may be just up your alley. There are 3 recolourable channels; the shirt, collar and buttons. I have included 3 pre-set styles with custom thumbnails and it is found in everyday, athletic and sleepwear. The archive contains the package file, sims3pack and preview picture. This also marks 1100 followers, so thank you all so much for following me and enjoying my content. I hope you enjoy the shirt as much as I do :)

Valentines Pattern Pack


With February the 14th only a few days away, I thought I would mark the occasion by making and sharing a themed pattern pack for you all. Some are made by me, others inspired by source material, but all are in some way both pretty and in the spirit of the occasion. These are for those lovers where your paths crossed and your life changed  forever, those caught up in the waves of romance, maybe you need a fan to keep you from fainting around your crush, or perhaps it was flowers that got you noticed, there are many patterns here for you (and polka dots, you just need polka dots). There are 14 patterns in the set, all found in the geometric category with 2 recolourable channels. The archive contains both the package and sim3pack files, so choose which method of installation you prefer to use and delete the rest. I have also included the preview pictures so you pick and choose which patterns you want by matching up the names. I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day and I hope you enjoy the patterns.

(UPDATED) PC Weatherboard Siding

(updated 11/02/2014): OK, so I figured out the blurry wall issue. I feel like a total newb with this mistake. The DDS images were all in a 3:1 ratio. DDS images need to be in either 1:1 or a 2:1 ration for them to render properly. So I just forgot to scale them down after working in a 3:1 ratio to get the scale right (which is the size they look in-game). So if you have these walls in-game, please re-download.

Well, I finally got these up (was supposed to be yesterday but I was distracted), so here they are, a new weatherboard siding for your homes. It also happens to mark 600 followers on tumblr so lots of squishy hugs for you all! As you can see, this is not a pattern, this is a wall to apply patterns so the customisation is limitless! Can you tell I love really customisable stuff? Anyway, there are 8 wall variations, all found in the sidings category of build mode with between 1 and 4 recolourable channels depending on the style. The archive contains both the sim3pack and package files so choose which method you would like to use to install. The names are self-explanatory, but if you don't like one set, you can delete them using the names in the pictures below as the correspond to the walls.

 Note: if they appear blurry when you first install, its advisable you delete you cache files, as well as the object cache file for the world you are using (found in the worldcache folder). That should solve the blurriness. I have no idea why this happens and I thought it was and issue with my walls, but it was the game.

Mother Russia Edit: Becoming Blazer & V-Neck


Here is another re-texture of one of an awful looking jacket from the Mother Russia set. I am really appalled how EA actually thought that was a good idea. It is not like the guys get enough content as it is to say its ok to screw up some cool meshes and not worry about it. Really EA, who thought this was a good idea? Anyway, I have re-textured the jacket in 2 separate styles, they are on separate meshes, so if you choose, you can have both your game. There are 4 recolourable channels, the same as the original. There are 2 for the jacket, one for the collar and then the tee. There are 3 preset styles (as seen in the preview pictures), all with custom thumbnails. They are found in everyday, formalwear, career and outerwear categories of CAS. The downloads are separate, and each contains the package and sim3pack files along with the preview pictures. You know the drill, choose which method of cc installation you prefer and delete the other. 

On another note, this download marks 1000 followers on tumblr. I just want say hope much I cherish each and every one of you. I never thought people would find my content interesting given how mundane and everyday the designs are. I see all these hip and other-there designs, and I am just so humbled that all come visit my little corner of this great community. So thank you for following me :)

Texture Pattern Set 01


I have had these sitting in my game about a week and a half waiting for me to sort through them and tweak if needed. Well I finally got around to it (and because I have ocd, these need to be released first). The set contains mostly masonry patterns, with the majority of those being painted or plastered brick textures. I love painted brick so I made more for my game. My favourite pattern i have ever made is my painted brick, but you can never have too much variety (you can find my other painted brick patterns here). The other patterns are brick and wood textures. They are all fully recolourable and have 2 palettes you can change. The woods are found under wood and the masonry under the masonry category. It's not like I needed to tell you, but I rather state the obvious. I have included the package and sim3pack files along with the preview pictures. So all you need to do choose the method of installation and delete the patterns you don't want if there are any. I hope you enjoy the patterns as much as me :)

Many More Mimes Makeup


I get inspired by the weirdest things. Sometimes its a name, a flower, colour, or someone else's project. This time, you guessed it, was mimes. A friend of mine is currently entered into a competition at Simatography for the biannual SIFF Battle of the Bands and has decided to enter a band of mimes. You may be asking me "why is that inspiring?" Well, its more about the lack of content for mimes. Mimes are a very diverse bunch, but EA only saw fit to give us one female and one male mask. Google mimes and you will see there is a never-ending number of ways a mime can paint their face. So I decided to make her some, and due to popular demand, I have cleaned them up so everyone can enjoy the unique weirdness of mimes.

So, the makeup is available in 5 styles for both male and female (the are as neat as possible, but the morphing of the face does distort the shapes of the makeup, something I have no control over and is most evident in the 4th variation). The makeup is also basegame, so you do not need Showtime to have your very own weird mimes. There are 4 recolourable channels, the face powder, eyeliner/eyebrows, lipstick and the individual detail on each of the masks. The archive contains both the sim3pack and package files, so choose one file type and delete the other. As always read my TOU on my blog or my tumblr.

Simple a Modern - A Recolourable Textured Rug


There is some things that has bugged me about game and cc rugs. The first being that game rugs have no texture to them. I have never seen a rug in RL with no carpet texture of any kind, and it always bugged me. This was resolved with cc rugs, but the majority are overlays that aren't recolourable. I wanted to be able to use my patterns on a rug without having to make the pattern textured, so this is what I came up with. The rug has a carpet texture multiplier, so any pattern applied to the rug will look like a carpet. There is one recolourable channel and I have changed the pattern tiling so that the patterns appear slightly larger on the rug. It has a 2x3 footprint with overhang on all sides (see picture below). The rug costs $140. I have provided 5 presets to start you off. The archive contains both the package and sim3pack files, so choose your preferred method of installation and you can delete the rest. I have also included the preview picture as well.

Long and Short Sleeve Henley Shirts - 900 Followers Gift

I had a hard time being inspired to make something to mark 900 followers, but it finally struck. I really love my Henley shirt, but I wanted more variants. I decided to make a long and short sleeve version for my game, so I am sharing it with all of you. There is a short and long sleeve Henley shirt, the same design of my rolled-up sleeve version I uploaded previously. The only difference is these have only 3 recolourable channels; the shirt, collar and buttons. The are found in everyday, athletic and sleepwear categories of CAS. The archives contain both the sim3pack and package files, so it is up to you which method of installation you prefer. I hope you enjoy, and thank you to the people that follow me and find my posts unique and interesting \(^_^)/
