Old School Hollywood Dresses + Bonus Accessories!

Ahhh Old School Hollywood...who doesn't love the sophisticated glamour? The classic beauty? Since I still have the retro bug, I decided to bring that beauty into TS3. Especially now that we have Late Night! My Old School Hollywood set well have your dashing divas covered from head to...ankle...because I didn't make shoes.

Hollywood Drape



The Hollywood Drape is a classic form fitting gown that's just tight enough to bring out your figure, yet loose enough to still look elegant. It comes in two styles, strapless and semi-halter. The semi-halter has a neck collar that holds up a see through front. Both styles have 3 channels: drape, underskirt and trim/collar.

Grecian Glamour



The second dress, Grecian Glamour, is a loose gown with an empire waist. It, too, comes in two styles similar to the Hollywood Drape. Its two channels are the main dress and the trim/collar.

Elders can play too!



Your little starlets can age gracefully, because all items are available for ages YA to elder. All dresses are formal only.

Accessories

This set also comes with a couple of accessories to really accentuate the Hollywood Glamour of yesteryears. The first is a pair of long armed ball gloves with angled hems. I just didn't like the look of the EA gloves when paired with my dress so I had to make my own. These only have one channel, and are available for Teens through Elders.

The second accessory is my favorite creation of the month! Nothing screams Old School Hollywood like a sleek cigarette holder, or a quellezaire if you want to sound fancy! These were really popular because it was unladylike for high society women to hold a cigarette to their lips at that time.

The cigarette holder has 3 channels: stem, cigarette and decorative stripes. I apologize for the CAS pictures but as you can see small textures like these come out smudgy in my game (I have mediocre graphics), but in CAS they're a lot sharper.

The cigarette holder is categorized as a left ring and rests in between the index and middle finger like it should. It has correct bone assignments, so it moves with your sims middle finger. It is not set for random townie use so you don't have to worry about random smokers in your hood.

I had this project sitting on my computer for a while and since I'll be shipped off back to uni in a day or so, I hauled ass to get it uploaded before I leave. I hope y'all will enjoy this set as much as I do!

Install Instructions

Quick Guide:

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.

For Package files:

1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Files^wiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).

For Sims3Pack files:

1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).


Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
