Walls, floors, rugs, ceilings - GOT Sigils Walls by Kevin Hatch

Kevin Hatch's beautiful coats of arms are a cross between the novels A Song of Ice and Fire (G.R.R. Martin's series of novels that served as the basis for the TV series Game of Thrones) and the Germanic coat of arms painting style.
The House Tyrell crest was not created by Kevin Hatch, but since it is an important dynasty, I created a version for the fans based on the original Hatch artwork.

Walls, floors, rugs, ceilings - Leathers

I don't think I've posted the walls, ceilings and floors I've done yet. Dreamwidth somehow got left out.
So it's time for that too.
I didn't separate the styles, you get them in bulk.
Choose as you like.

"Gilding fades fast;
But pigskin will last,"

Hans Christian Andersen: The old house


I found these beautiful leather upholstery on the Internet, and I immediately remembered the old story of Master Andersen about them.
In the library of Victorian houses or in the study of the head of the family, I think either would be great

Sussi 1860 ball gown - with minor edits

I made some minor changes to this mesh.
I rounded the edge of the train and adjusted it a bit on the skirt.
Not a big change.
I spent most of my time editing this UV map.
The skirt and top are now no longer separated on UV.
It's a bit easier to create new textures for it
The mesh is an independent instance, it does not overwrite Sussi's original mesh.
But the textures of the original version don't match it







In the package you will find a psd file that also contains the new uv map.
In addition, I also included the test texture (cream-white lace dress) from the bodyshop, the alpha and normal map (bump map) image files, for those who like color actions.

Skyrim Immersive Jewellery - selection

Well, a few Skyrim jewelry conversions have been completed in the past few days. 10 earrings for adult women only, a circlet for teen and adult women, an amulet, also for adult women only, with two extra recolors, and the Evenstar necklace in adult female and male versions. The latter is just LBB. Only Bodyshop photos, later, if I feel like it, maybe there will be a CAS photo, although I have so many unfinished projects that this is unlikely for now.

All kinds of headgear - servants and the poor

In the past months, I learned a lot about mesh creation, conversion, and applying them to TS2.
I like to search for new and new things, and among the xps-xnalara stuff on deviantart I have come across countless interesting finds.

Important!
I'd like to point out that I make my non-Sims stuff without knowing the games from which it originated. I don't know what these games are about. I was informed only from the information found on the internet.


First of all, I'm going to bring you a pilgrim-era bonnet, which I found among XNAShane's excerpts.
It's worn by a rather scary little girl who, however, has exactly the kind of bonnet I've been wanting for a long time.
I successfully converted it to TS2, however during testing with kidinthenight we found it to be unfortunately too small and only suitable for very small volume hair wear.
That's why I made a wider and taller version based on the SkySims "Helena" hairstyle.
In the album you can find some suggestions for suitable hairstyles.

Rococo hats - 4to2 conversions, Acanthus from Sims' works


I found these hats in the collections of
Acanthus Sims, who is a great TS4 CC creator and is devoted to historical style and especially Rococo era fashion.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to convert your beautiful hats one-to-one, as the mapping and textures of the TS4 accessories are not very comfortable.
The number of polygons also caused some problems, which was not completely eliminated.
So the hats have a high polygon count.

The first is Acanthus Sims' bergere hat, which was one of the popular headdresses of the Rococo period.

Rococo dresses - new franken meshes

These past few months I amused myself by studying body and dress mesh making.

As a result, several franken meshes were created, the testing of which was taken over from me by the great team of the Historical Sims Discord channel.
A huge thank you to everyone!

Special thanks to the Metropolitan Museum and the Victoria&Albert Museum for the many images.


These outfits are made from the old rococo mesh of Sim Ages, and the slippers for the two more elaborate outfits are TS4 conversions from the original mesh Regal Sims.

(note: It cannot be used with his original textures, because the size and layout of the TS4 texture is not really conducive to more detailed textures.)

There aren't too many textures, but as time allows, more will be made.

Two biedermeier dress tf-ef - new franken mesh

I think there are very few meshes or recolors for this wonderful fashion era.

English Wikipedia article

The Hungarian article

and its translation

Biedermeier (bieder: simple, modest; Meier: the most common German surname) was a transitional art style primarily in Central Europe, mainly between 1815 and 1848. A bourgeois style developed in parallel with the slow death of classicism and the empire, which flourished in Hungary under the name "tablabíro" style. It appeared in several art forms, such as painting, literature and home culture. The style exudes a petty-bourgeois milieu, peace, and tranquility with simple tools, without pathos, both in painting and in the area of home furnishings. It is characterized by an understanding representation of the little man. This is why the portrait plays an important role, the Biedermeier portraits are usually classicist paintings imbued with petty-bourgeois romance. The genre image is also important, one of the best-known examples of which is József Borsos's painting After the Ball in the Hungarian National Gallery. The first Hungarian card is often classified as Biedermeier style. Biedermeier furniture is characterized by its curved shapes. A new type of cabinet is the display cabinet. Authentic Biedermeier furniture is preserved in Mór Jókai's villa in Balatonfüred and in the Hungarian National Museum (Ferenc Deák's desk). Biedermeier literature, like painting, emphasizes the image of life.
Certain elements of the style can even be found in the poetry of Sándor PetÅ‘fi.
contents

Mór Jókai - hungarian novelist, journalist, politician, the most significant Hungarian literary creator of the 19th century.
His famous novels related to the er

Golden Man

The Sea-Eyed Lady

A Hungarian Nabob

One the God - Manasseh

The Nameless Castle

Ferenc Deák - politician, lawyer, who had a significant role in abolishing the colonial status after the revolution of 1848-49. Hungarian history bestowed him with the honorary title of "Wise of the Homeland".

Sándor PetÅ‘fi - Poet. Iconic figure of the Hungarian revolution of 1848. He died young - (he fell in a battle), but his oeuvre is nevertheless huge. He was a poet of the revolution, notoriously outspoken and wild in style

Táblabíró - County judge (Latin: Tabulae Regiae Judiciariae Assessor; German: Gerichtstafelbeisitzer) is a title that was in use in the Kingdom of Hungary until 1848.
Only a nobleman with his own estate could wear it.

Although the above descriptions emphasize simplicity, in fact this became the fashion style that was already referred to as "new rococo" in its mature period. With reason, because perhaps it surpassed even the first Rococo in terms of spectacle.

Well, after the history lesson, let's get to the point  :wink:
One of the two dresses is a ball gown inspired by a beautiful Austrian painting.

For the second one, I borrowed the test texture from a regency-early Victorian riding dress

Multi alpha-layaered victorian crinolines - new franken mesh

I've been wanting a mesh like this for a long time.
I love the crinoline era, the excessively fluffy, lacy, ruffled dresses of the era.
Sussi's old crinoline was the basic mesh, of which I first straightened the skirt part - the first crinolines were made from this first with the help of Cakeyy and then LizCrea - then i added some alpha layers.
I used an also old Sims Markplatz mesh as a study, and since I don't feel confident enough to build a completely independent mesh yet, I used Schonnenschein's meshes


as a base several times. (Okay, I know it's cheating, but maybe this way I can be more sure that there won't be any problems in game.)

It comes with three textures, af-yf-ef, and the tf version.
One of the adult dresses is a white silk with lots of lace and ruffled sleeves, the second was inspired by a portrait of Empress Elisabeth as a young empress,



while the third is a dark blue dress with silver lace.
For the teen version, I wanted to make white in addition to the dark blue and gold lace, but somehow I ended up with only pink.
It has a bit of a confectioner's cake effect, but it's cute.

Note:
Due to the large circumference of the skirts, the arms sink into the dress - but those who use a similar type of mesh in a historical hood may already be used to this.

Archiving the Plumb Bob Keep

Archiving the Keep

As some of you may have noticed, the Plumb Bob Keep site has been down for several days. At this time, we do not know anything about the future of the site; we have no contact with Sunni's family, who pay for it.

Since the future of the site is uncertain, we are calling for all hands on deck to help us try to archive as much of the downloads as possible: images, text, links and actual download zips. We will primarily be using the Wayback Machine, but as Google searching was only turned on in the last year, many things will not be accessible.

Fire_flower has created a spreadsheet to help organize the effort and allow us to see where the gaps are. This will be step one of the process, before we dive into our personal collections.

If you would like to help out, please add your name to the spreadsheet linked below. Large sections might need 2 or more people to team up. Please ask if you have questions over at the
PBK Discord or fireflowersims or fracturedmoonlight via tumblr. Thank you so much for your time and help!

I am still alive.... :D

Hello everyone!
I disappeared, but I have an excuse. (it's nice how it is)
I have devoted the past period to studying and I think it has been quite productive weeks.
Among my many works in progress are bodyshop mesh repair, conversion and repair of jewelry, hats and other accessories, conversion of items from other games (for now only deco stuff).
And of course practicing the dreaded bone assignment.

But I also devoted a lot of time to researching these game extracts.

The place I found a real treasure trove is deviantart, where I've been sharing photos of my own drawings, crafts, and Sims 2 stuff for years.

If you are interested, you can find it here

The XPS and xnalara communities, like us, are a generous bunch who really pour out the best artwork and other game extracts.
(Note that I had no idea about this until I discovered "xnalara" on Mila Smith's - Mila Sims World website under some really cool stuff.)

In honor of the people who create the basis of my work, here is a list of those to whom we owe these beautiful meshes and textures
VERY IMPORTANT!  Strictly MATURE CONTENT!
These excellent creators do not make their creations for children. Be careful and, if possible, be free of any prejudices! Thanks!

Musketeer hat from Lineage 2 Revolution mobilgame. Original conversion Vlthar 
There will be a male's version soon


Ring of Emperor Emhyr var Emreis (The Witcher)



"Lannister" recolor


Separated collar from the dress of Grand Duchess Katharina by Lowedeus. It doesn't have Maxis size yet, but it will.




A "franken mesh".
The barbette hat was made by Wawa, the veil was part of one of Helga's hairstyles.





Bipsouille's Tudor or French headdress, which was also part of a hairstyle.
I struggled with it a lot before it became a stand-alone accessory.
I sincerely thank Theraven, who hastened to help me with his good advice here as well.
The veil is Cynnix's Simple veil because the original veil became unusable after export.

The necklace comes from The Witcher game. Its original extract and xnlara conversion are the work of Moogleoutfitter, re-uploaded to Deviantart by SonYuMe.



This bonnet is made of Cynnix's Flemish Hood and Mussi's sailor bow, which I designed especially for my Hungarian clothes. LizCrea helped put this into final form.
I thank him for a lot of help and inspiration.



This decorative comb is my greatest pride. I created it from pieces of The Witcher jewelry.


This collar is by Kozakowy. You can see it here with the corresponding clothes and jewelry.

The outfit was converted by Lezishell.



Kidinthenight's photos:




This was the first version of old hat.
We made the final version with Cupcakeyy, in which the flowers are not like this. The reason is that the polygon count of this version was a bit high, and I was unsure about that, so I sent another mesh to CK instead. But in the end - I think - everyone decides for himself what his machine can handle.
I cut the hat from a VitaSims hatter's hair and then put different decorations on it. The feathers - if I remember correctly - come from one of Lidiqnata's hairstyles, and the flowers from one of Ran417's beautiful Chinese flower arrangements.




Another necklace from Princess Anna Henrietta's treasure chest. (The Witcher - Blood and Wine)
And there will be more.
These jewels have a great feature. The gems are surrounded by an alpha-editable socket, which gives me quite a bit of room for my imagination.




TS3 conversion. The texture is not very good. But this is just a test.
The TS3 collection called India Inspire - or something like that - included two beautiful hairstyles that had the jewelry removed during the conversion. Fortunately, only with alpha editing, so the mesh of the jewels remained on the mesh.
This one belonged to a beautiful hairstyle called Elegant Teardrop.
Now it is a piece of jewelry that can be used independently.
And as you can see in the photo, it looks quite good on other types of hairstyles.

   
The Beauclaire-necklace. Also Witcher stuff.
Among the characters extracted by Mougleoutfitters, it is worn by a lady from Beauclaire.



Anna Henrietta's tiara. I plan to make it as a crown as well, because now it's just a semicircular piece of jewelry.



Oh, the Tangled tiara. Attention, highpoly.
But it was so beautiful that I couldn't miss it.



Another cute photo of the Spanish collar, which - as you can see - looks good even on a Regency lady.



A truly queenly tiara converted from the Smite game by Lezishell. I brought it from him.
I don't know the game, so I don't know who Chang'e is, but the lady has a few other cool things that I plan to "steal"



XNAShane  among his conversions, I found a rather scary little girl, who, however, has exactly the kind of bonnet I've been wanting for a long time.
I successfully converted it to TS2, however, during testing we found with kidinthenight that it is unfortunately too small and can only be used for very solid-sized hairdos. That's why I made a wider and taller version, which was based on SkySims "Helena" hairstyle.

Semi-finished bodyshop meshes for further use or finishing - part1.

First:
Surely everyone knows this dress, as it is typically medieval.
There are countless repaintings of "Epic Sleeves".
(Recently, 12Raben presented us with a lavish collection.)

http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=226&t=10821

I pulled away from him for a long time because I didn’t like the added sleeve. The front and back are fine, but the texture is heavily distorted on the outside and inside of the arm and at the bottom.
I noticed you quite disappointed that I could not put embellishments on his shoulders.
Because I wanted to transform the textures of my Game of the Thrones clothing into this mesh.

Sansa
Cersei
I worked quite a bit on the UV map all along, dreading that - as usual - I lost the skeleton.
But in the end it was solved and now the texture of the sleeves is spread out and the parts that have been distorted so far look good too.

Version based on the old UV map


Old UVMap



This is what the sleeve would look like with the new UV map.

New UVmap




However, this meant that the backface had no space left on the UV map and I was forced to put it in a new group.





I made two versions of it.
One has the original body, I took the shoes out of the other, just in case anyone can imagine it with different shoes.

Semi-finished bodyshop meshes for further use or finishing.

Dear Everybody!
I’ve been chewing on this problem for a long time, and now I’ve finally come to a decision.

It is best to acknowledge the limits of our abilities and not waste time on "impossible missions" for us.

I accepted the fact that bodyshop mesh making is not my "specialty."
Every time I get to the point where the dress, or some accessory is ready in Milkshape, fits the “sim” everywhere, but what follows is already a series of nightmares and failures for me.

So I came up with the following solution:
Ms3d., Or obj. format finished stuff with test textures and preview images, packaged, uploaded and shared here and on my Dreamwidth page.

If someone feels like moving on with the workflow of a particular item, do so boldly.

I just want three things:

1. Indicate here on Dreamwidth, in a message, or in a post in Plumb Bob Keep that you have taken over the job.

2. Respect the original creators listed in the attached txt. Credit goes to everyone.

3. Share the finished mesh and at least one texture here or on the PBK. And wherever you want.


List of things to share:

Women's clothes - historical (regency, mediavel, other)

Man clothes - historical

Weapons to make a bodshop an accessory.

3D jewelry - conversions and my own works

Men's and women's hats, headscarves

bags, belts, capes - conversions

Hairstyles - Frankenmeshs and Conversions

Thanks

The Qypsy Queen - new dress mesh by LizCrea and me

Another great frankenmesh from LizCrea, starting with my little activity.

The mesh was based on the Bloom multi alpha dress, which you can find in its original form on the Insimmenator.
Sussi has a body shape with sexy feet and lots of alpha.

We combined this with one of Peggy’s ruffled clothes, which was originally a very thin-slender body shape.
LizCrea made two versions of it - both barefoot.
Until there is a shoe version, I recommend adding Bloom acc slippers. (Also Insimmenator)

The red silk and lace textures were inspired by LizCrea  “Radda the moldovan gipsy queen” collection.
The black-red symbolizes the gypsies in Spain, while the colorful-floral version is a bit Hungarian.

The blue and white version shows a other usability of the mesh. This is maybe victorian underwear.

For the jewelry, I used our previously shared crown mesh, as well as Peggy’s well-known necklace mesh and Aikea Guinea men’s bracelets, which I converted to unisex with the help of SimPe.

Link replaced:
From the link below the image of Sophie Turner - Sansa Stark the medieval prince was available for download. I swapped the link for the right one. I am sorry for the mistake.



The lady is Sophie Turner. I don't even count how many versions.
It's the best so far, I think.

Her hairstyle is custom - I was lazy, sorry - and one of my big favorites. Creation, re-texturing and coloring by AdeLanaSP - me.
The dress is the new love, although I have objections to the mesht, but since I can’t make a body-mesht, I prefer not to say anything and texture enthusiastically.
It’s not specifically a Game of Thrones style, but it has become like that now.
There will be another one later.

This boy is a random sim that CAS threw out once.
Some post-production and already a perfect medieval prince.
