Hi all,
 
I had promised that I would make things for all Egyptians in your game… and that not only includes all ages but also all kinds of clothing.
 
As people don’t spend all their time in tiaras (not even queens) Egyptians didn’t spend all their time in gala outfits – not even Pharaohs …that would make hunting quite difficult :happy7: ..
 
So, this set manages the two things: you get clothes for just about everybody in the household and you get normal, everyday clothes.
 
Ok, I admit: although we imagine Egyptian society as very glamorous and colourful, the truth is the clothes were very monotonous in their colouring, especially until the Ptolemaic period (think Cleopatra) when the influence of Rome and the textiles from other regions made dressing up more fun.
They dressed mainly in linen from flax, and a loincloth or simple tunic was the everyday outfit of the “normal” Egyptian. Slaves usually worked naked.
Whether you were rich or poor you wore jewellery made of gold or colourful beads and both men and women made up their eyes and lips
Just as a curiosity: the kohl, used in the eyes, had more than esthetical value: it prevented sweat from dripping into the eyes and there was even a time when workers when on strike because there were not given their weekly supply
 
Sorry it's not as elaborate as the others...but that's Egypcian daily clothes...:? Anywat, hope you like them
I guess that concludes the wardrobe. If you're looking for underware, please visit my Yahoo Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AlexSims2_Skins

She looks great. ;o)
 
But just one little detail: Nely Furtado is Portuguese, not Spanish. And for those who are about to say: "Well...that's the same" it's about the same as saying a French is just like an English ;o)
And I agree with Sheol: not all spanish are dark skinned. People tend to confuse Spanish and Portuguese with "Latino" countries, who have spanish blood, but also native, african, etc etc
 
Sorry about this ranting *blushes*
I told you I'm in a strange mood after the holidays...

Hi all !!
 
Ok…you can call it: “The Aftermath of Christmas”. Or “The Balance of 2006” – take your pick.
Anyway, I felt like making something a bit…outrageous, and I can tell you I had a blast creating it. :sign5:
 
So that you don’t think I went totally berserk on you, here’s my little History introduction to the theme:
* * *
In Greek mythology the Erinyes or Eumenides (the Romans called them the Furies) were female personifications of vengeance
They were usually said to have been born from the blood of Ouranos when Cronus castrated him. According to a variant account, they issued from an even more primordial level—from Nyx, "Night".
 
Alecto ("unceasing," who appeared in Virgil's Aeneid), Megaera ("grudging"), and Tisiphone ("avenging murder").
The Furies were avenging spirits of retributive justice, and their task was to punish crimes not within the reach of human justice. They were connected with Nemesis as enforcers of a just balance in human affairs. The goddess Nike originally filled a similar role, as the bringer of a just victory. When not stalking victims on Earth, the Furies were thought to dwell in Tartarus, where they applied their tortures to the damned souls there.
The Erinyes are particularly known for the persecution of Orestes for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra.
* * *
 
Of course, these are not at all similar to what both Greeks and Romans imagined. But I tried to make them incorporate a bit of each one’s attributes:
 
Alecto, the Unceasing, is dressed in black and ready to a non-stopping pursut.
Magaera, the Rancorus, is hooded and cloaked to keep the resentment inside
Tisiphone, the Avenger, wears the red of blood and the skulls of the sineful on her belt and gloves.
 
Hope you…like them and find them a “nice” home in your game.
May your 2007 be free on their pursut :devill:

My love, my hero... my Superman !
 
Thanks so much !!!!!
 
(and they say angels don't have sex... yours is hot ) :lol:

More...More...More...!!!!
 
(let the nagging begin) LOL

uhm...these are not sims...just the clothes.
If you download the clothes (and the meshes) they will appear in the game. You have to make a new sim in the CAS or make your sim buy a new outfit inside the game so they can wear them

LOL you are all too kind! I'm not saying "it's really nothing" like I didn't try my best...but when I see some of the work of true artists I feel like I should learn needle work and make my mom happy ;o)
 
Big hug to all

Hi
Here's part two of the Egypt series.
You get a Priest and Priestess, a HighPriest with the traditional fur, a soldier of the temple and a sacred dancer.
 
 
And to answer some of your questions...:happy1:
Yes, both men and women wore eye makeup. Eyes were rimmed, eyebrows were painted and lashes were darkened with a black powder called kohl.
Yes, most fabrics were white or yellowish
Yes...they took out all the hair and used wigs...except the Priests that could not wear them
Yes, the HighPriest is barefoot...the poor guy could not wear sandals
and finally...yes, there were high heels..not often though
 
 
And now for the Techical Details...

Evening
For an evening suited for a palace, nothing more than a red Indian silk dress, with laces and small silk flowers, and an under dress of grey-purple shantung. To be at her height, Monsieur chose a dark blue velvet ensemble, with rich gold embroideries.
Aren’t they smashing?
 
Hope you enjoyed you day! :howdy:

Hi
Although I’ve been travelling around through a lot of different times and ages, I never forget one of my favourite periods: classical antiquity.
So now I bring you part one of the Egypt series: the Royals.
There are the King and Queen, the Princess and the Prince, the “old queen” (although she is named after a great Egyptian queen, Hatshepsut, she is loosely inspired by Nefertiti).
I’ve encountered a lot of problems trying to find suitable meshes (so…what’s new?) that’s why I had to limit myself, specially in what headwear is concerned.
Soon I’ll be bringing you more from this series, as well as from the Roman’s. Who knows…you can mix them…they played a very important role in each other’s history…
