Kate In Canada Part 4: The Finale
Here is the fourth and final installment of my Kate In Canada set - items inspired by the wardrobe of the Duchess of Cambridge during her trip to Canada this summer. This set comprises two complete outfits, two tops and one pair of jeans.
This set is a little more casual than previous sets and has a bit of a Western theme. It requires three meshes available at TSR and one standard Maxis base game mesh.
The four outfits I've re-created this time are as follows:
1. The casual ensemble which Kate wore to visit Slave Lake in Alberta on 6 July, comprising navy blue J Brand skinny jeans worn with Linda Camm belt, cream ruffled blouse, Smythe Les Vestes One Button Blazer and Pied A Terre 'Imperia' black sling back wedges. I had a lot of trouble sourcing a mesh for this outfit as it required wedge heels, skinny jeans and an open jacket with a cut out section at the back. In the end I plumped for ulkrhsn's mesh 005 which is a little curvier than Kate but ticks most of the boxes, although the shoes had to be adapted a bit from those that Kate wore. This is a very versatile mesh which allowed me to re-create the white lining of Kate's Smythe Les Vestes jacket - I think this looks quite snazzy in the game.
2. Kate put together a Western-style outfit for Day 1 of the Calgary Stampede on 7 July, comprising GoldSign 'Passion' bootcut jeans worn with an eye-catching belt, the gorgeous 'Armonia' shirt by Temperley and R Soles 'Vegas Setter' cowboy boots - topped off, of course, with the symbolic white Smithbilt Stetson hat with which she had been presented earlier in the day on her arrival in Calgary. I have re-created this outfit as separates. The jeans use a standard Maxis base game mesh. The shirt requires Tantra's AF6 mesh. N.B. The shirt will vary in length in the game depending on which bottom half you pair it with.
3. For Day 2 of the Calgary Stampede on 8 July, Kate wore a similar outfit to the one she had worn the previous day, but this time substituted the equally gorgeous 'Rodeo' shirt by Temperley. The jeans are the same pair as worn on the previous day and the new shirt uses the same Tantra mesh as the previous one.
4. For her departure from Canada later on 8 July, Kate wore the elegant red wool 'Marianne' coat dress by Catherine Walker accessorised with the Queen's diamond maple leaf brooch and her favourite L.K. Bennett taupe 'Sledge' pumps. BBKZ's 150211 mesh worked very well for this outfit, especially the very cute platform high heels.
For once, all the outfits (except the jeans) are maternity friendly. However, you have to be careful which bottom half you pair with the shirts as bottom halfs are not generally maternity friendly and you end up with a very odd effect!
As always, a big thank you to the very talented meshers who allow me to re-create these real life outfits for The Sims.
All these outfits are available for adults and young adults.
** Incidentally, please make sure that you have your in-game settings set to the highest quality in order for the outfits to show up properly in the game. In the past, in the interests of making the game run more quickly, I have experimented with lower settings and was appalled at how blurred and awful some of my outfits appeared. My preview pictures are always created from screenshots taken in my game with minimal editing, so that is how the outfits should look in your game. If they don't, please check your settings! **
If you like these outfits, please check out my Kate Superset, Kate In Canada Part 1, Kate In Canada Part 2 and Kate In Canada Part 3
I hope you have enjoyed my Kate In Canada series. For your convenience, I will be combining all four Kate In Canada sets into one handy superset shortly.

Have started on a new world project
It's gonna take a lot of time. I have made a new medium world on the same original plan. Youtube video before the new map here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1koqJB2NSG8
At the same time I'm working on:
2 castles: 1 I'm just trying to reduce the amount of CC. Using the Custard for that. The other I have to go through the hole thing looking for any CC hidding under the floorboards.
241011 Spanish palace kind of thing. I'm making it for MTS I hope. Using 1 of Lulasimai massive 2,71 mb windows, 50x50. Doing decorating and furnishings there now. It's a technically advanced thingi.
1 lot has not really a shape yet. It's just for showing off my skills. It has an underground theater, an aquarium in the basement, a floating hottub, a sliding waterpool feature thingi, a pool on the roof, an entrance to the basement from ground, and a multilevel fountain at the front. I'm seriously doubting this will ever be useful. What's the point in showing off my skills anyway.
The Italian Palace/mansion lot with the big fountain in the middle is still at the back of my mind somewhere. The problem is fitting the emitters without being able to see the result instantly. I probably have to live with some clutter around.
... and I have some other plans too ... of yes Villa dei Mysteri in Pompeii for MTS competition ... and more.
EA UPDATES
I am currently updating my game. I'm quite excited to see what the updates will be. :p
