    The"travelling by steamboat" suit is going on Mortimer Goth.

    That is a good idea for when my Morty ages up. Right now he can wear the red beans N rice outfit. Great set! :D

    I like the set, though I don't want to buy it until I'm sure the female hair is there. Can anyone confirm it's there, they just aren't showing the picture right now?

    I would love to see some pictures of the new hairs in game, please!

    Sure, I'll post them in a bit.

    Thanks! Can't wait to see.

    Oooh, I really like this set. *adds it to WL* I normally wait on clothes, but this one's higher on my list than CAS sets usually are. Hopefully I can get more points before the sale is up.

    Okaaaay, this is called thread-hogging. :P

    Anyway, what I really like about it, is that it's... themed but not too themed. It doesn't beat you over the head and scream 1920's (although it's obviously greatly influenced by that era). I like the Art Deco jazz stuff, but the more of that stuff in a lot, the more everything else looks awkward and out of place since there's not enough Art Deco to make a truly complete theme. Which can be said for all the themes, frankly.

    This can be mixed-and-matched with regular present day stuff, AND steampunk stuff, and it'll still look great. Just love it. The EA designers did a great job, thank you!!

    If you go to the female clothing bit in the store Red Beans'n'Rice comes under female, know I'm sure that isn't meant to be there because it seems boyish. Just a thought.

    Maybe both boys and girls can wear it?

    Probably. I just found it a bit odd, but there you go that's my opinion.

    The female clothes are very nice, and the little girl outfit is adorable. But the men's clothes are kind of boring and none of the clothes are enabled for elders or teens and there is no little girl hairstyle. So my reaction to this is mixed, im going to buy the items individually and I will probably pass on most of the guys outfits.

    The St Charlies Ball Gown is gorgeous. You can see it in my previous post, but I grab more of it in a second. I'll grab pictures of the others as well.

    I know right now that the odds of me ever using the male clothing is slim to none. The female clothing is about half and half for me. I just did the math tho and I can get all the dresses that I want and the female hair for 550 points. Usually, I just go ahead and get the whole set and uninstall the pieces that I don't want just so that I have them should I ever do a story or get an idea that I need them for, but this time I think I am going to go the "Pick and Choose" route. I already have the old 20's set so should I need male clothing for anything, I will just use those pieces.

    Some of those dresses would make beautiful wedding dresses I am thinking! Maybe a bit unconventional, but I like unconventional!

    OK...that St. Charles Ball Gown is the one I was thinking would be a pretty wedding dress. Now that I have seen in game pics, I am sold on that and the hair for sure! I have a sim who is probably going to remarry her ex husband (they already have one kid and she is now preggers with a second after a night of "for old times sake" woo-hoo) and I am thinking that since they did the big fancy formal wedding the first time, that dress and hairstyle would be perfect for a smaller, close family and friends only second wedding! Maybe in an off white or maybe soft grey/silver...hmmmm...

    that dress makes the whole set for me. i'm attempting to have will power and not buy points until tomorrow. so for now, i'm going to escape offline so I am less tempted! haha!

    thanks for the pics everyone! so gorgeous!

    My comment: Ehh...I really don't like this one. I think if that thing on the shoulder wasn't there it would be better. The bottom texture looks kinda weird to me as well, that's why I wanted to get a picture of it closer up to show you guys. Also...wow does it show off her breasts. :shock: :-o

    this is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Funny enough, just this morning i was thinking how a Prohibition themed expansion pack would ROCK. for example,new careers could include Speakeasy owner, Gangster/Kingpin, booze runner, torch song singer, dixiland band member... tee hee i am in love with that Era...

    Worst set in a while.

    sacrilege! :P But I am sorry that you don't want it, hope they offer something you do want next time!

    :D I like you stickykisses. I've seen so many people be nasty to each other on here. You are obviously adult enough to disagree with others while understanding they have a right to their own opinions/tastes. Pleasantly surprised. :D

    I do like the set. Alas, my simpoint limit doesn't. I would've been a taker at more around 1,100 points. The dresses are a surprise and the young lads hair was great, but I wanted that young boy's style also for men. People's cravings for elderly clothes could be satisfied if all male/female clothes worked on YA/Adult/and Elderly. It is ashame that these clothes won't fit on the elderly. :)

    :mrgreen: Huge thanks to gmaleinak for gifting me this set. Wasn't my intention, but came as such a huge surprise.
