Been a loooong time since I uploaded anything, and this will be my first for The Sims 3. It will also be in an area I have never done well in: Clothing. Infact I think I have only ever uploaded, or at least made to an acceptable standard, two items and they were both for TS2.
So I started with something simple, after practicing on about two dozen other outfits. I made some very minor changes to the mesh on this one which is why I have included it in the package, although in hindsight I probably could have got away with just the texture work.
Anyway, enough twaddle, I've taken the Island Paradise "Local Tropics" skirt and removed that horrible "un-ironed crépe" look and instead textured some tight pleats instead. Specular is matt and the normal/bump hase been changed to emphasise the effect. I've also changed the mask so it has a tie dye blend between the 4 channels, instead of an artificially crisp and unrealistic block change. This allows the colours to blend into each other in a tie dye effect but if you decide to have a single colour skirt the effect isn't noticeable. I've kept the original stencils intact so the skirt can be patterned with or without them.
If all goes well with this I have a few other things to tidy up and upload.

Polygon Counts:
Polys: 986 (As per original game mesh)
Additional Credits:
Thanks to everyone involved in taking the time to unpick the game and create all these different tools that allow the creation process and those who take the time to write the tutorials and answer questions etc etc.
I've been a member of this site a long time and it's great to see it going from strength to strength, looking forward to seeing what #4 has to offer.


This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
