ACME Starter Kit - Athletic Girl

Sims wearing various dresses from the set

The aim of the ACME Starter Kit project is to provide Simmers with full ready-to-go medieval wardrobes for a variety of bodyshapes, and several classes of Sim, as well as creating a bodyshape mesh library of some of the most common medieval outfits for folks to make their own conversions and recolors as they like.

This particular Starter Kit is designed for the Athletic Girl, originally created by Marvine at Insimenator. Our separate skintone upload has all necessary showerproof meshes, to allow your sim to hold their shape, and to avoid floating heads in the shower.

We have created 4 full sets of clothing, Teen-Elder, with 5 recolors per outfit, using Shadowfell’s natural dye actions and some of our favorite outfits and meshes. There is also a brand-new mesh, the Short Chemise, that Spider has created just for these sets. These wardrobes should be suitable for peasants, merchants, nobles, and royalty, both in design and color (although we make no claim to historical accuracy). All outfits have fat and pregnancy morphs (even teens) and are enabled to be used as maternity wear, if you are using something like Boiling Oil’s Plan Maternity Outfit mod or a “Wear Any Outfit” mod.

To help with the bulk, we have also made a Maxis-size set of outfits for adults, and repositoried all other adult and teen outfits to them. This can bring a file size down from often as much as 1000 KB to just 4 KB (less after compressorizing).

You MUST have the base Maxis-size outfits for the rest of the sets to work.

Our four classes each have their own color scheme, based on what things Rugs knows about dye in the middle ages (onion and iron were dirt cheap, alum was pricey, and cochineal was impossibly expensive), as well as some educated (and often uneducated) guesses. We decided to use Almighty Hat’s color scheme for linen textures, as well. Here are the color swatches, below:

A special note about the meshes: We have made many small edits to a good number of them to spruce them up (mostly static cling issues with pregnancy morphs) and we have included them in the various download folders to make sure you are using the same version of the mesh that these clothes were designed for. There are also some new conversions included. Names have been changed, so you will need to remove the old versions first.

Everything is compressorized, repositoried, townified, maternity-enabled, BSOK’ed, tooltipped, and labelled within an inch of its life. We have put the names of the meshes used in the tooltip, so it can be found if needed using SimPe or testingcheats.

Athleticwear Outfits on Tiggerypum’s Alpha Tunic Mesh



All athletic outfits use Tig’s Alpha Tunic mesh, converted to AF and TF by Spider. Cynnix originally did an AF/TF conversion of this, but we failed to find it in our original search-through, so this is a new mesh. (Oops!). We apologize for the mix-up. The outfits have different textures for each class, originally by alexasrosa. Royal belt textures came from maya40’s lovely texture stash that she shared. Binned as Athletic and Maternity, only.

Underwear Outfits on CelestialSpider’s Short Chemise with Aligeth Sleeves



All of these outfits are on Spider’s new mesh, a short chemise with stockings and garters, whose textures were lovingly borrowed from Almighty Hat, who inspired this, but with long sleeves, taken from Aligeth’s mesh, and the neckline and linen textures are from Sunni’s chemise recolors. These are all similar except for the colors of the stockings and garters, and the “age” of the linens. Royal linens are ACYL Milk, nobles have Aelia’s Eco Ecru, merchants wear ACYL Oyster, and peasants get Eco Vanilla. Timebomb just seemed too white. Binned as Underwear, Sleepwear, and Maternity.

Sleepwear Outfits on Aligeth’s Chemise Mesh



Here we found it hard to distinguish enough between classes, so we have made an upper-class and a lower-class version of this chemise. Both are on Aligeth’s chemise mesh, but the upper class retains the original texture and neckline by Aligeth, while the lower class version uses Sunni’s chemise in one of the rougher linen textures. Both styles have all 8 colors of linen included. Binned as Sleepwear, Underwear, and Maternity.

Lower Class



Sunni's Chemise in 8 different shades of linen

Upper Class



Aligeth's Chemise in 8 different shades of linen






Swimwear on Cynnix’s Roman Swim Mesh



Once more, impossible to create enough difference in texture with these outfits to distinguish class, so we’re giving you Cynnix’s Roman Swim outfit in one set of 8 linen colors to do with as you like. Binned as Swimwear, Underwear and Maternity.

We also have matching sets of showerproof skintones available here.
