BAREBARA2020’s CAKESKIRT DRESS RECOLOR by SSTS

• Teen to Elder
• Fullbody
• Formal
• Disabled for Random

Standalone recolor (mesh is included)!
To my regret, I wasn’t able to contact with the mesh author. But as far as I understood [ google translator and kindhearted @ft19891211-sims helped me a lot ] BareBara2020 is against using this mesh to make any profit. And since I don’t have any here… Anyway, if BareBara2020 shows up and tells me to remove the mesh, I’ll do this immediately, but for now the mesh is included [ especially regarding that satanic difficulty of downloading anything from Baidu cloud, if you live somewhere outside China ].
Please visit BareBara2020’s PAGE – there you’ll find amazing ancient chinese and fantasy clothes for your sims.

Actually, it should be a New Year present, but with that hectic moving everything turned upside down, so I’m a little late. Well, better late than never.

As usually, preview pics are pure screenshots 100% from the game – no color edit, no ReShade, just cleared backgroud.

There are three packages for three color schemes – all standalone recolors, so you can download the one you want or the merged package.
Royal set – bright intense colors with gold or silver metallic trim. Gloss for metals is included.
Tender set – pastel and faded colors, texture has slight shine for silk effect.
Dark set – deep saturated tones, no any sharp and contrast details. Except for two bw dresses.

I added new normal and specular maps [ they are different, that’s why we need three different packages ], edited the texture, but I should warn you – the outfit is far from perfect.
A lot of clipping [ esp. while moving ], texture glitches with some shoes, hair and even eyeshadows, lighter area near the neck, troubles with visibility of some necklaces…
Despite all these problems, I think it’s still one of the most beautiful historical [ or near-historical ] dresses for TS4.

Hope you’ll find this useful – tag me if you do, I’m still a curious one.
Happy simming, have fun and don’t forget to read my TOU.
