2009.12 - Vintage

[Dr Jenfold]

The votes are in and the winner of the first every Sims 3 monthly theme is....

Vintage.

Now of course it's time to make stuff inspired by the theme. Contributions can be anything from patterns, clothes, objects, lots or anything else, all they have to do is fit in with the theme in some way.

I look forward to seeing what people dream up!

Ooh this is going to be intresting VINTAGE !

*adds to to-do list* My list is getting longer every day. D;

[girlfromverona]

Sweet! Now to come up with some ideas...

[FrozenStar]

If I can find the space to reinstall TS3 (awfully large I tell ya... horrified at the thought of having 8 EPs on it, it'll be like 50 GBs) I will surely work on something for the theme.

[pinketamine]

Well, I just want to solve a little doubt I have, maybe it is a languaje problem.
Which of this would you consider "vintage"

I would say that the second one is vintage, but I want to make sure, because I don't really understand too good the difference between retro and vintage.


Is this hair by nouk a vintage hair?



I'm sorry for being an ass pain, but I had a big confusion.

[SSChan]

I'd say that those are all pretty vintage/antique.  The hair has a pinch of Edwardian flair rather than modern/contemporary aesthetic.

[Dr Jenfold]

Honestly as long as you can justify whatever you've made as being vintage then we'd like to see it. The purpose of the theme is to be as wide ranging as possible and vintage means different things to different people so lots of things will be acceptable.

GAH I love that hair! <33 I'm getting a thing for curly hair.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to making anything yet. I'm not sure the selection for vintage sims wear is all that great. :C

[FrozenStar]

If you're thinking of converting that hair to TS3 I ask of you, PLEASE DO! I could make a TS3 version of my lovely Emilie with that

I thought I'd start by converting the vintage books I'd done for TS2 to TS3.

There are five packages in this set, which includes three book groupings and two single books.  They're found under decorative - misc, and range in price from 25 for the single books to 45 for the sets.  All of them have custom icons.  These aren't recolorable (seemed really pointless!), and don't do anything but sit there and look pretty.  I do have World Adventures, but these should work even if you don't.  I hope.

Do what ye want with these, just keep it off paysites.  And fears that creep about my flame evanesce, until the dawn calls them home again bearing thoughts of you.

(Just for the record, these are the very first objects I've made for TS3.  Hopefully they won't cause problems, but if you do run into any issues, pleasepleaseplease let me know so I can fix it!)

OH MY GOSH AIKEA-GUINEA! Those are fantastic! But the like is broken, at least for me.

D'oh!  Should work now.  Sorry!   

[evelyn]

Aikea, I love those books! Thank you!

Pinketamine, those patterns are both definitely vintage. I like the first one a lot, it's very 50s/60s.

[girlfromverona]

You totally rule, Aikea! Those books are awesome.  

pinketamine: I'd definitely call both those patterns vintage. As far as I'm concerned, vintage is anything old, be it from 100 years ago or 20 years ago.
