08/04/2026 edit: Fixed the weights on the huts and their shadows. They seemed to be working fine anyway, but I'd recommend redownloading, just to be on the safe side. 22/03/2026 edit: The huts won't fade anymore, even if you zoom in reaaaaally close. If it was bugging you, please redownload! Same fi

For the manufacture of braids, tablet weaving may have been practised. This is a method which requires the use of bone or wood plates perforated with two or more holes close to the edge to control the positioning and spacing of the warp. The technique was widely used in Scandinavia during the pre-Ro

Once my new colour palettes were ready, I could finally move to the thing which prompted their remake in the first place: meaning, a total overhaul of the tartan(-esque?) swatches I use for recolouring stuff. Remember my old set of tartan patterns? I've been gradually getting less and less happy wit

It's been almost exactly two years since I made my Iron Age Palette. To celebrate that anniversary... No, you know what, actually not, it's a total coincidence 😅 I was working on a new thing and started wondering about this and that; to not bore you with the details, let's just say that one thing l

05 January 2025 edit: both tartan versions updated to work with dx11 (i.e. to show proper swatch icons instead of llamas). Please redownload! *** It took me way much longer than it should've, but it's finally here. The first - hopefully not the last - cape from Crusader Kings 3, converted for TS4. A

I love the dress Akogare made a year ago for TSR YeMedieval collab and have been using it on my little Celtic sims all the time, but originally it had only some 8 or 9 swatches. A big waste for such a pretty thing! Now it can have more... MUCH more. This time it's really just a recolour. Mesh not in

23 November 2025 edit: I've only now noticed a weird problem with the texture on one of the gabled ends (S4S clearly had a hiccup; it wouldn't import just that one part of the mesh correctly, even though the house only has one mesh part? Huh?). This has been fixed. Please redownload! *** Hi everyone

We're supposed to get hit by a heatwave tomorrow, so I'm trying to quickly wrap up some old WIPs before yet another forced TS4 break. This beauty comes from Sketchfab, where it was posted by a user named Dragonjojo - you can preview the original in here! I lowered the polycount and converted it to T

I don't care much for infant clothing, considering it takes them only a couple of days to age up into toddlers, but even during those 5 or so days they still have to wear something. Lately I was looking at the available in-game options, trying to find anything which could pass for my Celtic sims if

The moment I saw this gorgeous gown I knew I had to try to remake it in more Iron-Age-y style. It was just too perfect! And so - here it is. With a shortened hem, covered décolletage and non-gathered, slightly trumpety sleeves. Recoloured in all 40 swatches of my Iron Age palette. Polycount: ca. 9K.

Every time I look at Sifix' creations I cry a little bit inside, as they're all so beautiful and yet completely not suited for any of my gameplays - be it Victorian or Iron Age. Last time it happened I got determined to find at least a couple of meshes which maaaaaybe could work if I tweaked them ju

Despite being called 'Egiptian', this recolour of this dress by Simalicious has always been one of my favourite outfits to use in my GBSC save. The only problem I had with it was that it came in so few colours...! And so, after some time - and especially after I developed my Iron Age palette - I dec

Based on some Internet research and certain photos I took in the ancient village of Biskupin some... 16 years ago? 17? My my, time flies... I created a colour palette to use for my Iron Age creations/recolours. 'Iron Age' in a very broad sense - you could as well call it 'natural dyes palette', so y

14 December 2025 edit: unfortunately, it looks like Mirai's mod is currently badly broken, so same applies to my add-on. Please don't download until further notice! 08 January 2025 edit: the files have been updated, please redownload! *** Would you like to make your game a bit harder? Constantly wor

06 January 2025 update: This mod is now obsolete, as it seems EA fixed the bug themselves. I won't be maintaining the mod in any way, so please remove it from your mods folders! *** First things first: let's fix a bug which makes playing in the Iron Age... Well, maybe not impossible, but very tricky
