Thierry Mugler Sexy Robot Suit

Next off the production line: another Portmeirion residential lot (the Belvedere), along with a complete set of items (suit, headpiece, and mask) to create Thierry Mugler's delightfully notorious "Robot Couture" fashion design from 1995. If you don't recall this masterpiece of impractical tailoring par excellence, refresh your memory here ...

I'm not sure if I've done it justice, but at the very least anyone else who has fantasised about creating a science-fiction lot in which all of the female townies have been converted into slinky cyborgs will now have a sporting chance of enacting it. ;) (Hint: one of your sims needs to buy a clothes shop / salon, and then make frequent use of the "Suggest an Outfit - Everyday" sales option, followed up by offering free makeovers to any sim who is persuaded into buying the robot suit).

Castell Deudraeth

Next in the Portmeirion / "The Prisoner" range of residential lots: Castell Deudraeth, used in the TV series as the exterior of the sinister Village "Hospital" (brainwashing, interrogation, and human experimentation centre). This is an expensive lot (over $200000), so be ready to Motherlode ...

Dr. Who and Freya undies, of all things ...

Coming soon (or possibly already out): I finally complete the line-up of classic series "Doctor Who" outfits with the costume worn by Patrick Troughton - the actor to play the Doctor's second incarnation in seasons 4-6 (1966-69).

Also, I am releasing two sets of Freya "Arabella" style lingerie for adult female sims, one with suspender belt / stockings and one without. They are in the in-season "cassis" colour (deep grape) and have sheer and lace fabric effects worked into the alpha files, so that they will show up effectively on any skin tone.

Star Trek Voyager: Seven of Nine

By request, I am releasing a series of items to create the character Seven of Nine from Star Trek Voyager, including a skintone (if you would like to make her as an actual unique "species", capable of passing on her attributes), make-up (if you would rather just throw the odd Trekkie-themed costume party for your existing sims), a special eyebrow set, and the silver version of her infamously impractical skintight "uniform".

Double Dragon

One of my silliest themes yet now to come: a lot and three outfits based on the 1987 arcade game "Double Dragon" for Sims 2. Since there is no difficulty in making Sims looks like generic thugs, the outfits I have chosen to make are "Billy Lee", "Jimmy Lee", and "Linda" (Names that you will instantly recognise if you are familiar with the game, and if not you probably won't have read this far). The lot is based on level 1, will comfortably accomodate both Lee brothers and up to four bad guys, and will have plenty of space for such outdoor violence as angry Sims can inflict on each other.

New Tom Baker Doctor Who Outfit

Though I have little time for simming these days, alas, and it doesn't feel quite the same now that Sims 3 is out and I find myself working with its poor little obsolete ancestor, I thought I would round off the Doctor Who collection with one last outfit: the version of Tom Baker's costume that was worn in season 18 (1980-81): known to fans of the original series as the first season produced by John Nathan Turner, who held that position up until the end of the original series in 1989. Among his many (and occasionally controversial) stylistic changes was to give the Doctor a "uniform insignia" in the form of stylised question marks, which in this costume (the first to carry them) were located on the shirt lapels.

This outfit is base game compatible (modelled on the old leather coat mesh).

 

Underworld Vamps

With a prequel just around the corner, now seems a timely moment to do something I've been putting back for ages, and make costumes for Selene and Viktor from the "Underworld" series. These will be from the first film ("Underworld" 2003) and will not require any EPs to download ... which also means they won't be 100% accurate, but that's the price I pay for not using custom stuff, alas.

Better dead than smeg ...

One last batch of "Red Dwarf" clothes, then I swear I'll get back to respectable historical lines. ;) These next three items are uniforms from the season V episode "Holoship" (male and female versions), in which Arnold Rimmer finds and loses the love of his life, insofar as a dead computer-simulated man can be said to have one. With the outfits goes a new make-up: the circular "H" symbol by which the holograms are distinguished from living personnel, which thus saves people from having to put their hands through them to find out, and all the embarrassment that sort of thing is apt to cause.

Boys from the Dwarf

I made some "Red Dwarf" outfits ages ago, but since I've got a lot better in recent times (I can but hope) I've re-done a couple of them (Kryten and Rimmer), as well as a Starbug lot for them to live in - designed to be affordable for 4 sims as long as you make them individually and combine their funds (or just use the Motherlode cheat, of course ;) ). I may also make new outfits for Lister and Cat, if I can find decent pictures to base them on.

Princess Dracula

One last gown from "Bram Stoker's Dracula", then I swear I'll try to widen my interests ... besides which, I think this is the last one I can get any usable pictures for. ;)

My latest effort is the dress worn by Princess Elisabeta (Dracula's wife) in the opening scenes of the film, telling the story of how "Prince Vlad" became the infamous vampire of Victorian legend. I couldn't really find a well-shaped mesh for this dress (which, awkwardly, is a medieval farthingale design), so I've just followed the general style of it and used a mesh from the base game, so everyone can download it (unless you're sticking with Sims 1, of course).
