There was going to be more to this contribution, but my sister doesn't have time to make a new mesh this month, she said, so it is just recolors.

Here are some vintage (1920s) sports clothing for males and females.

Knickerbocker athletic wear! These are on a mesh by CrabofDoom, his edit of the male breakdancer outfit. It's not totally accurate, but close enough, I think. These are typical athletic wear for men from the turn of the century until sometime in the 1920s. Am I the only one who wishes football players still dressed like this??

It is available in three colors, and the mesh is included.

And I have also made tennis dresses from the 1920s. They are set as everyday because the mesh had heels, but I have them as athletic wear in my game. That's my terrible attempt at posing a tennis serve. XD

There are two colors, coral and blue, and they are for teens and adults. The adult version has a cardigan and the teen version is sleeveless. I did make a sleeveless version for adults but it looked strange.  The meshes are by All About Style and are included.

WOW! Those are so amazing...I'm going to research a bit and see if I can get away with using them in my Victorian era.   I have created sets pertaining to the naturalist or collector instinct in your Sims...
Whether they buy and sell flowers or have rare collections, I feel these will suit their many needs.


A nice rustic recolor of the flower crafting station. I made it to suit my Victorian neighborhood and I'm sure it can suit others.

Yes, I've been wanting your recolor of the flower stand since I saw it on show off your creations.  Thank you!

Oh. Oooh. Oooooooooh!
ahem, your post is made of awesomeness, waxesnostalgic. Thanks a lot!

vintagecat, your recolors are always charming.

That station is awesome! Oh, and the plants and pressed flowers?! Sooo much amazing in one post!

Thanks for sharing all of these; they're gorgeous!

Remember that Steampunk telescope that was extracted from TS3? Yes, I finally made that functional. It's animated and has all the functions. Alien abductions happen too. I have (almost) evidence in a coffin kicker sized image. It comes with the two recolours that the original version came with.

Now, since the telescope functions were changed in the Freetime EP, and since there is both a cheap and an expensive basegame telescope to clone from, there are a few different options to choose from. First you have to choose between the cheap and the expensive version. In non-FT games, sims can't get abducted from the cheap telescope, but they can from the expensive one. In FT games, I believe you can get abducted from both. So I would recommend for FT players to go with the cheap version, since the animations look slightly better on that one. (You can actually download both the cheap and the expensive version, they won't conflict, but you'll have two telescopes that look exactly the same.)
Then you choose according to your game set up. The expensive version comes in a basegame version and a Freetime version. If you don't have FT, get the basegame version. If you do have FT, get the FT version. If you don't have FT, but you do have AL or M&G, I'm not sure. Try the basegame version and if sims jump back from the telescope, come back for the FT version.
The same goes for the cheap version.

There are two versions of the recolours, one for the cheap version, one for the expensive version. They work for all the different EP versions that are available within those versions. So if someone makes a recolour for the cheap FT version, it will work for the cheap BG version too, but not for the expensive versions.

Congratulations if you made it all the way over here and are still with me! Downloads then. The first series is mediafire links, the second is box links, but please only use those if mediafire doesn't work. Each version comes with the appropriate recolours.

A big thank you to:
EA for the mesh and textures.
Evanesco for extracting the mesh and textures.
SilTstm for requesting a functional version, who knows how long it would have taken me otherwise to learn how to do jointed objects.
Nymphy, Evanesco, JessicaDarling, Marja, CuriousB, Psychosim, Almighty Hat and mustluvcatz for testing and advice!
The makers of Milkshape, SimPE and the Unimesh plugin for, well, for those things.

Please let me know if I messed up somewhere!

Oh wow, that telescope is fantastic!

[pinkosim]

Thanks, Eva! Unfortunately the Uni version still has the jump bug (but I have NL, too).

Thanks, Eva! Unfortunately the Uni version still has the jump bug (but I have NL, too).

Damn. Then I really don't know what's doing it. I don't suppose you have any problems with other basegame compatible telescopes cloned from the cheap telescope (if there are any)?
At least you can still use the expensive version. That worked, right?

[waxesnostalgic]

The telescope!  Thank you Eva, though I don't know where I'll use it. I will find something, I'm sure.

Eva, the telescopes are wonderful. Thank you!
