Ever since I made a post of Orna modeling some 1580′s fashions a few weeks ago, I’ve been poking around looking for accessory underlayers that had the right historical “look.” I wasn’t very successful, and spent a bit of time moping around before I realized that I could make some.
So, Dame Partlet was created–and forgive me the necessary historical digression here. Partlets were the ancestor of the modern camisole or dickey; simple squares of fabric were pinned over or under low-cut bodices for modesty, warmth, or a pop of color. As with all practical garments, they soon evolved into highly ornamented and decorative forms. The name “partlet” is thought to come from the term for a hen’s neck wattle, as ‘Dame Partlet’ is a common name for hens in contemporary fiction.
To create this, I took agapir’s medieval nightgown and chopped off the textures below the elbow and just under the bust (north of the navel, but not too far north), and then put them on the base game glove accessory, and…voila.
They match the dresses I’ve paired them with fairly well, although I’m the first to admit that the specular is a bit shiny, so you may have to play with the saturation to get the desired effects. Also, I messed up the channel assignment on the embroidered preset, so the embroidery is only recolorable with the third channel; I’m not sure what the second channel recolors.
Since they’re full-coverage, your Sims can now wear low-cut, sleeveless, or off-the-shoulder dresses without any lapses in modesty OR having to worry about drafts. It is available for teen to elder Sims in the everyday, formalwear, athletic, career, outerwear, maternity, martial arts, and makeover categories, and can be found in the glove section.
4t3 Conversion From BatsFromWesteros’ Jewelry Catalog (ft. RoyaltySimblr)
A 4t3 conversion from 83 items of BatsFromWesteros’ catalog, now for ts3! This was a long time coming, and as I said in my most recent post, I put a lot of work into this, since this number is nothing short of amazing, especially for the very deep niche I’m in! I know I may disappoint some people, but I genuinely think this could be useful for 99% of you, so I really hope you like it! Also because we just desperately needed jewelry in ts3, there’s just so little of it! Lots of stuff to talk about, as you probably guessed haha, so please read it all! Enjoy! <3
Now as you probably guessed, I could NEVER take screenshots & edit preview pictures for 83 pieces of jewelry, so I really hope their thumbnails are enough for you to see the dimension of this + if what you were maybe waiting for is included!
In this compilation were converted: Queen Mary Collection, Queen Victoria Emerald Parure, Elisabeth Ruby Set, Fife Fringe Set, Brazilian Aquamarine Set, Wessex Aquamarine Set, A Royal Wedding Collection, along with other singularly released pieces!

LOVE YOU ALL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Known Problems:
Most of the stuff here has lighting glitches in CAS, because of their specular maps! Note that they are perfectly fine in-game, is just a bug! Hope no one deletes everything because of this!
Necklaces are terrible in ts3, so expect clipping in a lot of animations! Sorry!
Brooches might a lot of times not work, getting either inside of the top/dress or being way too far from it. This also happens in ts4, and there’s nothing I could do about it, since we sadly don’t have a specific slider for them like for hats! Also explains the lack of brooches for ts3, in general! So sorry!
The Elisabeth Ruby Necklace may sink into the sims’ body, because of it’s odd location and bone assignment, which can’t be changed.
It’s 83 items, I most probably overlooked something, so please tell me whenever you find something wrong, and I’ll do my best to fix it!
LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS!

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DOWNLOADING:
EVERYTHING (except for two brooches) IS VERY HIGH POLY! IF YOU DON’T HAVE A MEDIUM TO HIGH PC RIG, THIS COMPILATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED! I wasn’t able to reduce them in any way since the pearls added in everything automatically looked deformed, or worse, would simply vanish! But I promise that whenever I could I reduced them by a lot (example: Indian Cartier Pearl Tiara)! From what I can recall (it’s 80+ items, I can’t remember it all even if I wanted to lol), the highest accessory is 45K. Won’t create any problems on sims, like bugs or explosions, but on the game’s performance, if a lot of stuff is used, yes. Sorry again, but nothing I could do about it, as I said!
Necklaces have separate morphs, with their respective thumbnails, except for the Margaret’s Diamond Necklace & Wessex Aquamarine Necklace, which already have morphs included)! You’ll see 3 versions of them: the regular one, one with an “F” written at the side, for fat morph, and one with a “T”, for thin morph! Hope that’s useful for all of you!
Some pieces have 2 presets, for better customization! Can’t remember which, hope you’ll use them tho haha!
ALL tiaras are hat compatible!
Brooches don’t have morphs, except for The Victoria Brooch and the Queen Victoria Emerald Brooch! Sorry, but they were just way too high poly to add them!

After all of this, download my 1-month long work and enjoy my friends, because the followers gifts will not be coming out again for quite some time haha! <3
