The Coastal Collection - Part One

Happy Friday Everyone!

I’m super excited to be able to share the first part of the Coastal Collection with you all. This has been an absolute labour of love over the course of January to get this first set completed. Never before have I had so many ideas that I wanted to fit into a set & although I couldn’t fit it all into this month I can safely say that there are many more months to come with the set, so I can keep ticking more and more items off the list.

This first month focuses on build items, however there will be a 2nd part to the build items coming next month along with activities for the garden. There are also plans for of course a kitchen, but also a kids set to add to the much anticipated infant patch & new EP releasing in March.

I usually list out all of the items included in the set individually, but there are 55 items and we would be here all week!

In summary the set includes:

22 Windows (Georgian, craftsman & cottage styles)

24 Doors (front doors, cottage doors, French doors, interior doors & archways)

6 Shutters (3 heights, left & right options)

3 Window Boxes (1, 2 & 3 tiles wide)

Sorry, sorry, but manipulative hurt/comfort is fucking cocaine to me. The predatory aspect of it. The vulnerability—500% better if the hurt party knows they're being manipulated and is past the point of caring. The juxtaposition of sweet and sharp flavours. Barkbarkbark

it's funny although a little exasperating how artists designing "princess" or medieval-esque gowns really do not understand how those types of clothes are constructed. We're all so used to modern day garments that are like... all sewn together in one layer of cloth, nobody seems to realize all of the bits and pieces were actually attached in layers.

So like look at this mid-1400's fit:

to get the effect of that orange gown, you've got

chemise next to the skin like a slip (not visible here) (sometimes you let a bit of this show at the neckline) (the point is not to sweat into your nice clothes and ruin them)

kirtle, or undergown. (your basic dress, acceptable to be seen by other people) this is the puffing bits visible at the elbow, cleavage, and slashed sleeve. It's a whole ass dress in there. Square neckline usually. In the left picture it's probably the mustard yellow layer on the standing figure.

coat, or gown. This is the orange diamond pattern part. It's also the bit of darker color visible in the V of the neckline.

surcoat, or sleeveless overgown. THIS is the yellow tapestry print. In the left picture it's the long printed blue dress on the standing figure

if you want to get really fancy you can add basically a kerchief or netting over the bare neck/shoulders. It can be tucked into the neckline or it can sit on top. That's called a partlet.

the best I can tell you is that they were technically in a mini-ice-age during this era. Still looks hot as balls though.

Coats and surcoats are really more for rich people though, normal folks will be wearing this look:

tbh I have a trapeze dress from target that looks exactly like that pale blue one. ye olden t-shirt dress.

so now look here:

(this is a princess btw) both pieces are made of the same blue material so it looks as if it's all one dress, but it's not. The sleeves you're seeing are part of the gown/coat, and the ermine fur lined section on top is a sideless overgown/surcoat. You can tell she's rich as fuck because she's got MORE of that fur on the inside of the surcoat hem.

okay so now look at these guys.

Left image (that's Mary Magdelene by the way) you can see the white bottom layer peeking out at the neckline. That's a white chemise (you know, underwear). The black cloth you see behind her chest lacing is a triangular panel pinned there to Look Cool tm. We can call that bit the stomacher. Over the white underwear is the kirtle (undergown) in red patterned velvet, and over the kirtle is a gown in black. Right image is the same basic idea--you can see the base kirtle layer with a red gown laced over it. She may or may not have a stomacher behind her lacing, but I'm guessing not.

I've kind of lost the plot now and I'm just showing you images, sorry. IN CONCLUSION:

you can tell she's a queen because she's got bits I don't even know the NAMES of in this thing. Is that white bit a vest? Is she wearing a vest OVER her sideless surcoat? Girl you do not need this many layers!

[MOD] Clean House & Ask to Clean House

This mod adds two new interactions to the floor, which will show up when there is trash, spoiled food, or dirty objects on the lot:

1. "Clean House" option allows sims to clean the entire house.

It works similar to Neat sim's "Cleaning Frenzy" interaction. Sims will get a custom buff that increases their cleaning autonomy, letting them search for cleanable objects and focus on keeping the house clean for the next 3 sims hours without you having to manually click on each object.

I included more cleaning interactions in the mod, as well as excluding interactions that I thought were unnecessary, so that sim won't clean up unspoiled food, put away toys, etc.

Neat sims, Lazy sims, and regular sims will receive different buffs.

2. "Ask to Clean House" option allows you to pick one or more other sims to clean the house.

The picked sim will accept or refuse based on a set of conditions such as mood, motive, traits, relationships, lifestyles, environmental conditions, and more.

Please check the download page for more information and notes.

Requirements:

Scumbumbo's XML Injector (latest version)

Compatibilities:

Base Game Compatible

This mod does not override any in-game resources, so it should not conflict with other mods as far as I know.

However, if you have any mod installed that disables or adjusts the autonomy of specific cleaning interactions, sims may not perform those interactions when cleaning the house either. Other cleaning interactions that are not disabled will still be performed normally.

Today my professor picked up a garter snake, said “Ow!” five times as it bit him, set it back down, and said, “Okay. That’s one defense mechanism snakes have.”
