SPECIAL #1: A Sim 66 Lookbook.


One of the best things about setting a story in the 1960s is that I get to depict a lot of groovy, swinging fashions in the screen grabs and it's one of the things the readers of Sim 66 like seeing as well.  Using a combination of base game items and custom content it's got to the stage where every character, including premades and townies, can be decked out in period outfits.  

As part of the research for writing the story I have a Pinterest folder that contains around 2,000 fashion images from the Sixties!  They provide me with a guide and inspiration to create authentic looks.  Every outfit that you see in the story is based on a real 1960s one.  This post illustrates a few of them...if not exact replicas of the real photos then they are close approximations.  I must congratulate and thank all the amazing content creators out there who have been inspired to create 60s cc and if you're one of those who's reading this and would like to create some more, please get in touch with me because I have a lot of material to provide for inspiration.

So here are some CAS outfits and the real photos that inspired them.  I hope you enjoy it.
