Cuiavian (Polish) Folk Outfit for Men
🕑 Added 2019-11-21 14:48:47 +0000 UTCAfter some 2 months I finally made a folk outfit for my male villagers!
Everything I said about the female version still applies. Mid-north-west Poland, cornflowers, poppies. Cuiavian folk outfits quickly got out of use and disappeared completely after WWI - to the point where folk museums had problems even completing their collections, as the villagers had simply thrown their old garments away. Back in the 1890s they were still doing fine though, so I'm not going to miss this opportunity to use them in my save!
The outfit comes in 6 swatches: 2 shirts' x 3 trousers' colours. It was the best I could come up with; due to that lack of original pieces it's quite difficult to find any reference pictures, and most of the available ones look almost exactly the same... So I'm glad I managed to make at least those 6 :).
- Base Game Compatible
- HQ mod compatible
- high and medium shoes compatible, as you can see in the swatches picture (there's some clipping only with the BG cowboy shoes, for some reason, but the rest should be fine)
- custom bump, shadow, specular maps (no shine) & thumbnail
- tagged as everyday, formal, party and hot weather, & with proper colours
Don't claim it's yours or post on potentially dangerous sites... And feel free to do with it anything else. You can check my TOUs for more details, but it really boils down to this. Recolour, edit, improve it to your heart's desire, I don't mind! Or rather: I'd be glad if you used it to make something cool :).
PDN file included in case someone wants to recolour.
Known problems:
1) The right side of the collar is clipping a teeny tiny bit if your sim's chest is too narrow/sunken/skinny. No idea why. Trust me, I tried everything. It's just a bit of clipping (you can see it in the swatches' picture actually), so I hope you don't mind! Just put your sim's chest a bit higher and it'll disappear.
2) The belt/scarf can be clipping a bit with the sim's legs while walking, depending on his body type and walk style. It's almost not there, but sometimes a blue dot shines through.
3) The scarf looks super weird when your sim sits down. To put it bluntly, it becomes a hot mess. I tried. I failed. I don't even know if it's any solvable, as the game doesn't understand the concept of gravity. So if you want to take pretty pictures with your sims sitting while wearing this outfit, you'll have to avoid certain angles. I'm sorry for this!
Hope you'll still enjoy it and find some use for it in your game :)
