1841 ball gown
🕑 Added 2020-10-14 15:34:13 +0000 UTCSome time ago (two weeks? Three? Is time even real?) I received an ask if I could make an 1840s ball gown - and as I'm slowly but steadily falling in love with this decade (so little crazy deco! Such simple patterns!), I decided to really do it. Yes, it's the same skirt again, I warned you :P. Now that I see it right next to the inspo picture, I probably should've made it a bit fuller... Oh well, too late - we have to live with what we've got ;).
Comes in 26 swatches, this time only in shiny satin version:
- polycount: ca. 10K
- Base Game compatible
- sleeves use transparency - won't work properly in laptop mode
- HQ mod compatible (...although it's playing tricks on me again, so pics taken without it)
- all LODs
- custom thumbnail, bump and specular maps, lots of shine on everything
- tagged as everyday, formal and party
- found under long dresses subcategory
- colour tagged
- disallowed for random
- PDN and PSD for recolours included - you don’t need them for the mesh to work
Known problems: some clipping if your sims move their arms too much, especially if they've got big breasts and lots of body fat. Also, the 'collar' gets a bit deformed while changing the breasts' size. I did what I could to get rid of both problems and I think it ended up working fairly well, but it's not perfect. If I ever learn of a way to improve it, you can rest assured - I will ;).
Hope you'll like it, despite the small imperfections. Enjoy!
