Sorry new to this. How to you reply to others on this thread? I can't find it as an option. Morticia dress I love- I have many cc dresses like this. I did club in Morticia dresses in the 90's.

this was my 90's goth look- but I dont expect them to do this with the kit- I think the siouxsie sioux hair is more suiting- but corsets would be rad

hi @simgirl1010 thank you!

It just dawned on me or should I say sundown on me, yup pun. ?
I actually just last month made a gothic couple that have a vampy magical country western.??‍♀️????‍?
I call them Gothic Western Couple. They are saved in the Gallery under my username SEREFRAS for any simmer that actually has the Gallery in their game that can check them out. And please let me know if any of you can see them. Thank you.?

You know what? Forget the concept art. Let's go early 2000's goth/emo culture. As any of us who were around the time know, goth stuff RULED Sims 2 stories and CC. The Exchange had stories upon stories dedicated to Gerard Way knock-offs and tragic, misunderstood girls with dead parents. So let's honor our founding goth ancestors with fashion inspired by Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.

I'm hoping for a bit of the proto-goth New Romantic 80s look, but as I think most of the sims team was - at best - in grade school back at the dawn of time I think of as "high school" it will probably be a more recent Goth-Punk vibe, based on the concept art we were voting on.

I mean, it's at least six months out, so we'll probably all have forgotten what we were hoping for when it comes along. :grin:

OMG yes, the 80s goth look has so much to choose from in terms of fashion styles, including the more 'New Romantic' look (although New Romantic was its own thing and was happening at the same time as Goth, more or less).

I was an 80s goth, and a lot of what I wore back then probably wouldn't be considered what most people think of as 'goth' today. Sure I had the long black velvet dresses, and more flowy romantic goth looks, but I'd also head out in a pair of tights, winkle picker boots, a 1960s op art dress with a tonne of jangly bracelets and necklaces, or a 1970s purple lurex dress with fishnets, 60s go go boots, and a 1940s long coat over top. We mixed a lot of fashion styles and eras in the 80s, everything from 1920s silent era vamp looks, through to the 1940s, 60s, 70s and 80s all mashed in together a lot of the time. For me in the 80s about the only thing that remained consistently 'stereotypically' Goth was the teased up Siouxsie hair & the makeup.

I mean it doesn't get much Gother than Bauhaus and these clips of them in 1982 and 1983 don't exactly scream, "look at us, we're Goths". :D

I really think the 80's goth was the pinnacle goth look. However I was a 90's goth, and I remember being in London in 1999, when Camden Town was still the goth central hub of London, and seeing the most out of this world fun hair. The ladies from the Black Rose Store hair long Barbie hair, (extensions) past their waist in bright surreal primal colors. The often had a feather headpiece hair band to cover the extension part, or otherwise bangs, which they called "fringe." If they didnt not do the bang or the headpiece they worn their hair up in a high "I dream of Jeannie style Pony tail and alternatively pigtails. The hair was exact my little pony hair texture and colors. The highpony tail was like ariana grande hair style but surreal colors--But before Ariana Grande. I remember thinking how the British do the look the best. The go all out. At that time, the cybergoth thing was just coming out and all the rage. I could not believe what i saw, literally people "plaited," (braided in american english), and sealed their hair in shrink tubing to look apocalyptic futuristic. Quite possible my least favorite goth look ever, but I do note it was most creative. I havent really been in the scene for many years and I thought it is something that just fell out of style. But have seen the revivial in the past ten years. I do see the extensions looks in Europe are still primarily with fall ponytail extension pieces so they can keep their regular hair and day job. I would like that as a hat or accessory in game. I havent found a cc creator who has made it. That with the long ponytail or pig tail fall. Even 60's style hairpiece falls. in game would be rad. I found clip on bangs which is also another way to goth a hair style.Hair extensions as an add on accessory or hat would be great in general- even for glam purposes. I just feel like with goths hair id the deal breaker. it makes and breaks a look and can offer so much more variety of looks. Really cc clothes and black clothes, even goth boutique styles exist in cc, but these accessories really add that true touch. Goths wear black, but they layer and layer and layer which makes the look so complex.

The markets at hendford on bagley remind me of the feel and vibe of the Camden Lock Market stalls so much I updated some townies and bar owns to be exact like some iconic looking goths I remember from the heyday. Its really surreal to see them walking around in the game.

Dreadlock we have in the game. Silky version of dreadlocks were another look turn of the century goth. I think Anglina Jolene has it in the movie Gone In 60 Seconds, in Platinum Blonde. Faux dreadlock were a big thing then too.
