Hi!
This is my first pose pack \o/
I made it inspired in some pictures that my boyfriend sent me few weeks ago :)
Although this is simple, I hope you like it
Hi! As promised, here's the version of this top without the bow. As I only removed the legs and added some details, I decided to keep its original name. Also, added the pregnant morph! :D
- This top is available under everyday, formal, sleepwear and career categories, for young adult and adults females only.
- Two recolorable channels, five designs included.
- Polycount is 2300+ (Low)
- Enabled for maternity!
Want to join us at Ace Creators? Well, here’s your chance! We’re opening our doors and windows to let some fresh talent in. Read more to see how to apply!
How It Works
Send us one creation to our email, it can be whatever you like! As long as it’s in the accepted submissions list below. Your creation must be completely new. Meaning that if you’re already an uploading creator in the community, we will not accept a previously existing upload of yours.
Not only do you want to “sell” your creation to us, but also to the community! Once the submission period is over, we will test each item thoroughly. We’re going to thin out the submissions to about 5 - 10 creators (depending on the amount of participants). We will then post these up for the community to vote on! The creators who get the top number of votes will become a part of our team!
We ask that you do not upload your submissions elsewhere until at least the preview period is over, and the finalists post is up for voting. If you are selected as a finalist, then please continue holding your creation until the voting is over and winners have been announced. The reason being is that if you are chosen as a winner and accept our invitation to join us, we would like to feature your submission as your first upload to the site.
Accepted Submissions

Keep in mind that we will initially test everything in CAS, but all final decisions will be made on how the item looks in game.

- Clothing and Accessories
What we’re looking for:
- EA matching textures. That is, textures that have been hand drawn. The use of brushes and downloaded texture templates are fine. We just do not want to see photoskinning of any kind.
- Keep it PG-13. Provocative clothing is fine, but flat out pornography/obscenity is not.
- Categorize! Be sure to take the time to give your clothing proper categories. Remember, just because you can set a pair of fuzzy bedroom slippers as swimwear doesn’t mean that you should.
- Full Functionality. If you’re making an item with a custom mesh, it needs to function properly. That is, it must morph completely and animate smoothly. Also, the lighting/shadows need to be rendered correctly, too.
IMPORTANT: We’ll NOT accept simple stencils/patterns applied to a basic EA shirt/dress/bottom.- Hairs
What we’re looking for:
- Proper control layouts. Be sure to include both adjust-shine and EA's highlights.
- Good textures. The textures can be hand drawn by you, or borrowed from Pooklet.
- Follow TOU’s. Be respectful of the original creator’s policy. For example, XM doesn’t want you including their meshes. Neither do Raonjena and NewSea.
- Full functionality. If you are fixing/converting/creating a hair mesh, make sure you have done the morph states and that it is breast-slider compatible (this only applies to longer hairs). Also, do not forget to properly animate your hair!
- Miscellaneous
What we’re looking for:
- Crisp textures. Although we do still encourage hand drawn textures, for these types of creations you may use images/textures found on the internet. Just make sure to use good quality images.
- Use of artistic privilege. As an extension to the above guideline, you still need to show some sort of creative effort, even if you’re using someone else’s image. This applies the most to tattoos. If you find a good image that you’d like to make a tattoo of, you’ll still need to do texture edits and touch ups to make it work as a tattoo. Do not just slap a premade image down and call it “art”.
- Proper recoloring. These types of creations should have at least one functioning channel, but definitely more if the creation warrants it. While not all color combinations will work for these types of creations, make that they do recolor decently with a varierty of CASting styles.
- Categorize! Makeup and facial hair should be categorized correctly, this includes both age and gender. Additionally, freckles should be in freckles section; beauty marks in the marks section and so on.
- Genetics
What we’re looking for:
- In case of blended content, read TOU’s. Never modify the work of anyone without their consent.
- Skins must be compatible with Late Night muscle Sliders.
- If you’re doing defaults, describe exactly what this will change in game.
- Everything must be properly recolorable.
- Objects:
What we’re looking for:
- Unique meshes. At this time we’re not interested in recolors of of already existing meshes. We want to see custom meshes made by you. You can still take bits and pieces of EA meshes, or use mesh primitives to make your own item. As long as you have to use a 3D modeling program at some point, then you should be fine.
- Follow TOU’s. We encourage using your own mesh, but at some point if you use meshes of another person, do not forget to respect their policies. And, always give credit.
- Detailed texturing. Meshing is only half the battle! We want to see good, crisp textures, preferably hand drawn and/or EA match as much as possible.
- Proper recoloring. A smart, well thought out channel layout is a bonus for any object. Keep in mind that UV mapping is important, too.
- Categorize! Your object needs to have the proper category flags sets for it. A dining chair should not be in the bathroom category, and so on and so forth.
- Custom Poses:
What we’re looking for:
- Keep it real. Poses should look natural. The body should not look stiff nor should the sims have to contort in ways that are impossible to for the human anatomy. The body should not defy gravity and the weight should be always centered.
- Whole body posing. Always try to rotate all joints at least a little bit, do not leave unposed fingers. Also, avoid the perfect symmetry.
- No clipping and anti-clipping. You need to avoid clipping as much as possible, always try to make your poses as much versatile as possible for larger Sims or thicker clothing.
- No floating or sinking into the ground. This does not apply to the poses that are supposed to show Sims in full movement (running, jumping, etc.)

- No floating or sinking into the ground. This does not apply to the poses that are supposed to show Sims in full movement (running, jumping, etc.)
- Neatness. Poses must be compatible with the Pose List feature on cmomoney’s pose player
File Types
You will need to provide both, Sims3pack and Package files (except for poses, skins, mods or sliders that can be only made in package format).
Prohibitions
- We will not accept patterns or custom pets as submissions.
- No TSR. That means, no to using TSR pay custom content or meshes. No to working with TSR hairs, and no to people who also upload to TSR. You can still use TSR Workshop though.
Pictures and Presentation
Take preview pictures with neutral backgrounds; it should not call more attention than your creation. If you are unsure how to do this, try reading THIS tutorial made by Elexis.
Remember that downloaders have to desire what you're offering, so make your presentation attractive by taking clear pictures with lots of close ups and detail shots. Remember, we want our downloaders to know that “what you see is what you get”, so no heavy photoshopping of preview images. You can add a few artistic touches with text and borders, but keep it to a minimum.
In the description of your creation it is essential that you include the following information:
- Type (eyebrows, clothing, shoes, etc) - Gender/Species
- Age
- Category
- Channels
- Polygon Count
Additional Requirements
- You must have your own Google account. They’re free to create if you do not have one already.
-You can upload your creations anywhere else and have your own site too. You will not be required to be an exclusive artist for our blog - unless you want to be, of course. :)
- Creators who have a lack of posts in sixty (60) days will be replaced.
****
In case of being rejected, don't give up! Keep practicing and improving your creating skills! We will definitely give you lots of suggestions, advice and feedback.
If you are accepted, we’ll send you an invitation to become an author on the blog. You will then be able to write your own entries and start uploading your future creations!

Everyone knows that our tots need more clothes (actually, need more of all kind of content), so when I saw this picture on Anubis facebook, I just loved it and, I thought it would be nice for kids but to keep the "distance" from his creation I made it for toddlers.
So while we wait anxiously for the wonderful (and original) version from Anubis, we can wear our little girls with something similar =)
- This outfit is available under everyday, formal and sleepwear categories, for toddler females only.
- Four recolorable channels.
- Three designs included.
- Polycount: 3000+ polys.
Update! It seems that the Sims3Pack file got corrupted in the saving process and caused some visual glitches in-game. The file is now updated, please re-download.
Big thanks to Juliana for discovering and fixing this issue :)
After receiving so many compliments about my previous eyebrows, I decided to make another set. This is more rounded, groomed eyebrow shape with a higher outer corner. I tried to keep the "hairy" texture on it for more natural and less painted-on look, so they don't have the sharp outline.
