I retextured these beautiful dresses hemfbg made. Check them out!

I've been meaning to do retextures of this top for a long time, and I finally did it. The textures for the shirt tend to get crunched up on this mesh (although the vest part is fine) but I tried to keep them as crisp as I could.

This is probably the fastest I’ve ever completed a project, I started this after I uploaded that AM athletic outfit and I somehow managed to finish the retextures and take preview pictures and everything. Sometimes it’s nice to just work off of an existing mesh that already has clean textures.

Mesh by MDP. Base texture on the shirt is derived from a Trapping texture. I added the folds and enhanced the seams. The two tops with patterns are from Pattern-a-Day. As usual, I used CuriousB's Any Color You Like color actions to help with these.



Download
Mesh included, as well as a bonus white recolor for making your own recolors.

Note: I'm aware there is a TF conversion of this mesh by DeeDee. I might slap these textures on there, but feel free to do it before I do.

Finally finished up that athletic outfit I was working on. I ended up re-doing the folds on the sides and back of the shorts and editing the mesh again to make them narrower. I kind of feel like these look more like pajamas than athletic wear, but the sneakers are on there so I'm sticking with it.

Credits:

The mesh that I grabbed the shorts from was some maxis teen to adult conversion that was done by Yagami. I tried to find it on Mod the Sims, since that's where I'm pretty sure I downloaded it years ago, but didn't have any luck. I completely re-painted the shorts texture. The top is from these athletic outfits by nintendolover13. The converses are by Yuxi but I ripped them off of a bunheadsbuns shorts mesh. Artwork is from Pattern-a-Day and reblogs on my art tumblr. Credit to CuriousB for the color actions I used to help me with recoloring.



Full Size Swatch

9 textures plus a plain white one for recolors. I also cleaned up and uploaded the PSD if anyone wants to make more retextures.

Download
New Mesh included, has fat and preg morphs. Enabled for elder males and categorized as everyday & athletic.

Finally fulfilled a request at GOS. Here's the original post. Removed the sleeves from these dresses.



Download.

This download includes:
1. My edit of the original mesh, removing the sleeves and making a new fatmorph. You cannot have the original mesh and mine, they will conflict.
2. The original recolors of the mesh with the textures edited to work with the new mesh. Like the mesh, these are edits of the original files and will conflict with the originals.
3. A few new retextures of the mesh by me, the green dress in the preview is my texture. The purple one in the preview is from the original textures that I fixed to work with the new mesh.

As per the request on GOS, this replaces the efbodynanny outfit with a new mesh I made that added the efbodytech heels. It has morphs and includes texture replacements for both nanny outfit colors.

Here's part 2 of my dump of unshared CC. There's still a tiny bit more to come, but I'm trying to share things in order of how "complete" they feel.



Here's a retexture of CatofEvilGenius's boatneck top. I believe the fabric overlay I used is by Trapping. I really just applied the overlay and then fiddled around to make some colors. Typically I lean on CuriousB's any color you like color actions, so I'm sure I did that here as well.


Download - mesh, preview, and swatch included.



I shared this preview on tumblr years ago to see if anyone was interested, but I didn't follow through. Rented Space did the original mesh and I slimmed down the sleeves and added bare feet. I hand painted the entire kimono, then added stockings and a pattern. Two recolors, this one and a grayish purple. Categorized as sleepwear

Download - Mesh and preview included. Not sure if it has morphs or not.



Here's a retexture of Slig's dress for female elders. Some dresses are hand painted with a pattern added, others are just maxis tweaked textures. There are a few of these I'm not really happy with, so feel even more free than usual to delete the ones you don't want.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! I still have some cooking to do this morning. Yesterday I put together 33 sweet potato pierogis from scratch (it took over 3 hours), and this morning I've already made chimichurri potato salad. I still need to cook the pierogies and make some gingerbread cookies.

Take care, everyone!

As the first part of my dump of CC that's been sitting around unshared, I have some tees and lips for you. I'm sharing these first because they felt the most like "complete" downloads. The next dumps will be a bit more random and have my sort of half-finished projects.
Another announcement: I think I've fixed all of the previews for my downloads that aren't actual sims. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing the actual sim downloads. If I missed a clothing/skin/etc download, please let me know! I even re-took previews that I no longer had.


(another preview)



First some tees for AF, in 12 patterns plus a white retexture (not previewed or swatched.) These are on the untucked tee mesh by HP here. The mesh is NOT included, you probably already have it. It's a popular mesh, I've done similar tees on this mesh already. I used the same base shading and alpha for these, but I think the seams might be new. Art used on the shirts is not mine, check here.

Download
swatch and previews included, not the mesh





And basically the same thing for AM, only no plain white recolor included. I think I did these first, actually, then I did the AF ones because I had more patterns I wanted to use. No mesh needed for these, they're on a base game maxis mesh. Same base texture as these tee shirts which is by fanseelamb, here. Patterns for these and the AF version are from Pattern-a-Day.

Download
swatch and preview included, no mesh needed





I've had these lips for so long that I don't remember where the actual texture came from. I might have made the lip blend myself, but probably not. If you recognize them, please let me know so I can give proper credit! I think I had always intended them for personal use, so I didn't document the credits. I did color them myself. Most shades work well on dark skins, and a few are great for males. I believe the alpha is pooklet's?

Swatch. There are 8 retextures total and the images are from pattern-a-day and my artsy tumblr.

Since it's summer time where I am and I want to swim but haven't had much time to do so, I decided to make some swimming outfits for my sims. These are recolors of the AM Bon Voyage Swim Trunks. Bon Voyage is required. Patterns are from pattern-a-day.

I made some simple retextures of these halters by Fishie. These aren't swimwear, but I enjoyed the pun I was able to make in the title of this post. All I really did for these was add a fabric overlay, to make the tops fit in better with my game, and then do some recolors. I think I used Alfred Askew's fabric actions and CuriousB's actions and then tweaked them around. Mesh is included.
DOWNLOAD
(If you'd like the PSD for this, let me know!)


These are recolors of the Seasons Pre-Order bikini. I included the seasons pre-order body shop content for convenience. The mesh is not the nicest to recolor and it tends to crunch up the textures. You'll notice this if you zoom in closely. Using bigger patterns with a white foundation seemed to help minimize this. Patterns are again from pattern-a-day.

I'm not sure if this has been done already... I've been so out of the loop with the sims community I probably missed it if it has. I made a small edit of this Amaryll dress that I've been wanting to do since I first downloaded it. I added a knitted texture (extracted from the sims 3 by Trapping, I believe), made a version with stockings, and did 4 recolors. The mesh is the original by Amaryll and it is included. I just messed around to make these colors, but I'd still like to give credit to CuriousB for the awesome color actions that I usually use.


Each color comes with and without stockings.

I have been looking ways to use the great patterns at a-pattern-a-day, so I put them on the bottoms of these cute pajamas by Plumeria. I usually have trouble working with patterns that are mostly white, but I think I figured out a good technique now. I'm pretty sure I just did the colors for the tops myself, but I may have used one of the cloth actions by Alfred Askew because I downloaded them recently. No mesh needed, this is the nude AF body mesh and the feet are bare.


Categorized as pajamas and underwear.

I really wanted to make something for men, because the amount of CC for males is just tiny compared to what we have for females. I actually made these before I made the female pajamas above, but I had so much fun with the patterns from a-pattern-a-day I wanted to keep making retextures.

These boxers are originally by nilou, but I can't seem to find them! I looked through both of their livejournals, their tumblr, and their posts on GOS but maybe the download got lost while GOS was down? If anyone knows where they are, let me know and I will add a link. The mesh is maxis; the feet are bare. The texture on the tops is totally by nilou, I just did recolors. The boxers were originally plain white and I added the patterns to them. I don't think I used any actions to make the colors, but if I did they were probably CuriousB's (linked in the first download).

So, this is the dress I posted about here.
It is basically the maxis sundress molded into this mesh by serenityfall with some brand new shoes!



The shoes are made from these h&m shoes. I flattened the heel and re-did the bone assignments. They are not perfect, but they don't seem to have any major problems. I plan to retexture them into something like these.



The mesh has morphs, but apparently the maxis sundress is not as nice as I thought it was and does not animate well all the time. the bone assignments are the same though, so there wasn't much I could do.



The mesh is by me, and I completely re-did the UV map for the dress so it would work nicely with patterns. The dress was hand-painted by me with a fabric base by [livejournal.com profile] trappingit and I added a pattern from web-treats. The jacket and shoes are maxis texture. Colors are based on
[livejournal.com profile] curiousb's. The dresses are a bit grungy, so feel free to make some brighter textures and colors with my .psd.

Unfortunately, I was very tight with time this semester and I couldn't make all of the gifts I wanted to make.
I do hope you enjoy what I have to offer, and please let me know about any problems!

Feel free to PM me if you'd like any of the .psds for making your own recolors and retextures.

Credit to CuriousB for most of the colors. Other credits are listed in the download files.



First I have some female clothing!
There is a new mesh for a pleated skirt which comes in two versions, with a high waist and one with a lower waist.
 
Additional pic || Swatch for high-waist || Swatch for low-waist.
DOWNLOAD.
([livejournal.com profile] sanneke94 made versions with flats and converses here and teen conversions here)

 
And there are a bunch of t-shirts. I made the neckline more scooped, since I prefer shirts with a looser neckline myself. It is the same HystericalParoxysm shirt we all know and love.
Be sure to download the mesh if you don't have it.

I also have some male clothing.
A set of pants with lace-up booties. Comes tucked and untucked.
 
A set of pants with super-hero boots. Comes tucked and untucked.
A full-body outfit with a nice jacket. These should be categorized as both everyday and outerwear, so seasons should not be required.
 
And a set of T-shirts
 

I also retextured some benches. They come in sofa, loveseat, and single chair. There are new textures for the cushions and the wood.
These are originally by Holy Simoly. I removed the metal part underneath the meshes.
 
IMPORTANT
Because I edited the meshes, you can only have one version of each mesh at a time!
By that I mean, if you want the new meshes you need to over-write your old ones.

Optionally, you can

Hey! I finally finished these! So, there are three sets in total. Credit to [livejournal.com profile] curiousb

  • Glamorous Lounge retexture (WIP here)
  •  
  • Male vest seperated from a university outfit (WIP here)
  •  
  • Male pocket shirt seperated from a university outfit (WIP here)
  •  
The female outfit is a retexture of this outfit from Glamorous Lounge. The texture for the shirt is by
[livejournal.com profile] trappingit
and I added the belt and some shading. The jeans texture is maxis, I painted the black bows on the shoes. I added fat and preg morphs to the mesh; and it comes in these colors:

(tiniest swatch ever!)


(here's another preview)

The meshes are by maxis, but I hacked them into tops with separate groups (like this other top). The undershirt texture is a blend of fanseelamb and club crimsyn. The soft hood texture is by fanseelamb also, and the leather texture is from maxis. I hand-painted the pocket shirt texture (during my livestream!), but I also included 2 recolors using the original texture.

Pocket shirt swatch:


Vest shirt swatch:

(bigger, so you can see the designs)
Designs on the bottom 4 vests are from threadless.

note: The vest mesh was a monster to do, I went crazy trying to adjust the bone assignments to fix the clipping, I finally fixed it, but with some animations there is a little transparency where the shoulder meets the vest.

 I had an idea for a nice formal dress, so I tried my best to re-create what I had in my head.
Note: categorized as formal wear only
The mesh is by Adele, the alpha around the neck is by applestruddles, I hand-painted the dress texture and played around with the alpha a bit.
Swatch (a white version is also included for your own recolors):

So, I know I've been sitting on this Sentate retexture for forever now (although my wip post seems to have disappeared..) and I finally got myself to make enough recolors to share them.
The mesh with the stompy boots is by Nth. The dress with the cardigan and  the emma boots is by glennisonfire.
The mesh with the "nanny shoes" is by me. I ripped the shoes off of a freetime outfit (the one with the tweedy jacket) and I added fat and preg morphs to it, but the preg morph isn't the greatest (see for yourself). The sweater is a little clippy (on my mesh and glenn's) but it's not that bad.
I really put a lot of effort into hand-painting the dress texture, if you decide to use it please let me know.

The sweater version only comes in 4 colors, which are pictured above and in the first picture.
The no-sweater version swatch (also comes with a white one so you can make recolors):

I posted a sneak peak of this a while ago, and now I finished making the recolors. This is a retexture of mrostrichbird's awesome dress. Mr. Ostrich wanted to make a gift for the 100+ followers on the ostrichbird tumblr. :)

I added a little lacy flare on the back (close-up), and some of the re-textures also have a pattern on the skirt. The shoes match the lace on the back, which matches the shirts. All shading and hems hand-painted by me. Mesh by mrostrichbird, and thanks to aquilegia for that linen overlay that everyone uses.

A few days ago I updated that I was retexturing the stradlin boots, and here is the outfit I was using while I retextured. Here is a closeup of the boots.

There are 3 recolors of the sweater, the green and blue pictured and also a red-maroon one.

The sweater-y texture is by trapping, the shading and seams and whatnot are all hand-painted by me, so are the boots (except for the buckle). Credit for the mesh goes to Stradlin, but I added morphs.
