Cultural Lookbook - Egyptian

Cultural Lookbook - Egyptian

There are not enough cultural items in the Sims 4. It is by far the most diverse of all the sims games, but we need way more of it! Since I’ve joined the dark side and started downloading custom content, I’ve been amazed with what players have been able to create.
This Ancient Egyptian lookbook was requested by an anon on @peebsplays page who then referred the request to me! After that, @eggysimblr volunteered to help with authenticity (as far as TS4/CC will allow) as they are an aspiring Egyptologist! Give them a follow if you like historical, magical, fantasy, and/or sci-fi gameplay!

Eggy, thank you SO much for answering my many questions...I learned a ton! For example, ancient Egyptians shaved ALL their body hair and wore wigs (except their eyebrows unless you were a woman in mourning.) If they wore shoes at all they were sandals and the Pharaoh had an official whose only job was to carry his sandals behind him.


DOWNLOAD:

You can find these sim on the gallery under Origin ID: eregister or you can download the tray files here (mediafire, no ads.) You will still need to download all the CC for your sims to look like mine. 

Disclaimer: I am a white woman. If I used something culturally inappropriate/insensitive, please tell me so I can learn and grow (and update the lookbook.) I never mean to stereotype or imply these are the only types of clothing people wear. 

Thank you CC creators and enjoy!

  3. "Disclaimer: I am a white woman. If I used something culturally inappropriate/insensitive, please tell me so I can learn and grow (and update the lookbook.)

Yes umm egyptians are not black ms "white woman" This is culturally VERY inappropriate to think egyptians are african blacks , you could just ask the egyptians themselves but no you didn't, America seriously needs a new education system , I believe that the West especially white people, are very sympathetic to black people, and that is why they change history in favor of black people, maybe it's sympathy or hypocrisy
