Norse Apron Dress (Viking age) for The Sims 4

This is absolutely not perfect at all, but at the time I did this, I couldn’t find anyone else who’d made this type of dress for TS4 yet, so I tried my hand at it anyway!

I used the Historian palette for the swatches, and as the Norse people actually enjoyed using dyes and colors in their clothing quite a lot, it was kind of impossible to think of every possible combination ever. So I didn’t. I only made 26 swatches, and as there are way too many variables going on with the design here, I included a .psd file as well!

Details and known issues under the cut.

Details

• 24-26 swatches by default.
  
• For adults, children and toddlers.
• There are two child versions, one with the brooches and necklace, and one without.
  
• Tagged feminine.
• All of these use the exact same base textures.
  

Known issues:

• The texture of the toddler version will bleed onto the legs.Sorry about that!! Either you should find some boots to cover it up (I recommend some of the TSM conversions found here), or you’ll have to edit the texture itself. Or find a way to embrace it. I don’t know.
  
• The toddler version will only show up if you have Cats and Dogs. Sorry!!
  
• If the boobs are big or perky enough, the necklace WILL clip. Trust me, I’ve attempted to fix this several times, but it just won’t behave. If this is a problem, just don’t give your viking lady a push-up bra. They didn’t really have them in the first place.
• The normalmap texture of the dress itself is a tad bit too shiny for my liking, and there are visible squares if you look close enough.

This was obviously my first attempt, and I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. Making clothing is way more painful than making hair. I really do wish someone more talented than me would try their hand at viking re-enactment dresses that actually look interesting, but for now, this will have to do.

Thanks for taking the time to look <3
