Eight CAF4 tank tops, A - De, comboed for use with animated flip-flops

Although bound to "the mystical one"'s Warlokked tank top meshes, each of these also incorporate a set of extremely short shorts. The intent is to allow their use with bottoms that provide nothing but shape and shoes, while still yielding a final outfit that looks like street clothing.

"Why bother?" I hear you cry. Well, over on www.insimadult.net , BlooM has combined Warlokk bottoms with "Simple Design"'s animated flip-flops. (See "Additional Credits" for the link.) As downloaded, they're bottomless bottoms, as it were-- shoes, but nothing else. Since tops have all that extra space to work with, there's little reason not to enable them to kill a second bird with the same stone. As suggested by this shot:



The models are using nude-with-flip-flops as their bottoms in their individual screenshots. In the images named "Frame_A.jpg" through "Frame_D.jpg", the top is providing the shirt and shorts, while the BlooM/"Simple Design"/Warlokk bottom is serving as a canvas to project the shorts onto.

By design, the shorts themselves are so brief, almost all bottoms of more typical design will override them without any problem. In this shot:



the models have switched to a variety of more typical bottoms, and the extremely short shorts do not appear as part of the final effect. (Photo note: this shot also shows what happens when some blasted fool says to our models, "Why don't you put one some of your regular clothes and just be yourselves for a bit?" Fortunately, our senior model wrangler is healing nicely, and sends thanks for all the cards and flowers.)


REALLY BORING PART STARTS HERE
You might want to skip down to look at the pictures. I would.


On the odd chance you're wondering why I didn't bind the outfit to the bottoms instead of the tops: (A) The bulk of the actual fabric is top, not bottom, and so in order to find the thing when you need it in the game, it's a heck of a lot easier to see what it is when it's in the "top" bin. Besides, they can be used with arbitrary bottoms, just like any other regular tank top. (B) If you so desire, you can always bind just the shorts or a complete outfit to the flip-flop bottom with Body Shop yourself. (C) I'm laying more groundwork.

Direction notes: I'm saying to Hades with the Warlokk "B natural" top and my CAF4 "civ" fabric. The B-natural top specification and meshes are, as far as I can tell from reading various fora, a well thought out and implemented set of tools to solve problems that it turned out almost nobody actually had. (Certainly I don't use it, and things are cluttered enough around here as it is.) Similarly, I included "civ" in the CAF4 fabrics to serve as a canvas for various ideas I had about using constructive and destructive reinforcement to change the looks of fabrics on the fly. Unfortunately, none of them worked; all I ever got was a variety of grey Moire patterns. "civ2" is its replacement. Like "civ", it's based on a USAen Civil War fabric, but unlike it, "civ2" is a proper texture; it's intended to look a bit blurry and soft, like flannel. I suppose I ought to upload a bikini of the texture; I should get around to it eventually.

At any rate, the second archive contains a 34Bn top and a top using "civ". There's nothing wrong with them as such-- but this is the equivalent of those bins at the discount stores filled with the clothes that make one wonder, "What was the designer doing when he thought of this one? Sniffing glue?"

Basic flip-flop design is from "Simple Design". As I type this, the site moved just recently; I believe the new URL is
