Marik Ishtar's Egyptian Armbands from YuGiOh

Sims 3 Version

The next item of YuGiOh content I've created for the Sims under the creator name SallyCompaq122 are the metal armbands worn by Marik Isthar, Ishizu Ishtar and most of the ancient Egyptian characters in the series.

This was my second accessory with morph states, and after a few adjustments, my add-on for Blender was once again helpful in keeping my morphs from exploding… that is, until I tested my accessories together in the game. Ah, life…

It turns out that while this item is good to go, the Egyptian Choker I already released has some problems I'll be programming to fix so that the morphs no longer interact with each other. In the meantime, enjoy them separately!

If you like the Sims 3 and want to play with this content, you can download it here.

These armbands are base-game compatible and work for male and female sims of all ages.

The level of detail is optimized so as not to slow down your game.

There is one recolorable channel and 8 lovely presets color-matched to precious metals and other metals historically used in jewelry.

I will be posting more of my content here, especially since I am actively creating again, so if you’re interested, give me a follow.

Marik Ishtar's Egyptian Choker from YuGiOh

Sims 4 Version

Two months ago, I made Marik's Egyptian Choker for the Sims 3 under the creator name SallyCompaq122. Finally, I've recreated his distinctive choker necklace for use in the Sims 4.

This was my first time creating an accessory for the Sims 4 that involved morph states, so there was another steep learning curve. Apparently, Sims 4 uses a different technology for morphs than the previous game did. They traded in some quality control to get the faster game performance, so these morphs will not look as nice, but I have managed to mitigate the disaster and come out with something decent.

If you like the Sims 4 and want to play with this content, you can download it here.

This necklace is base-game compatible and works for male and female sims of all ages.

The level of detail is optimized so as not to slow down your game.

There are 8 presets color-matched to precious metals and other metals historically used in jewelry.

Marik Ishtar's Egyptian Choker from YuGiOh

Sims 3 Version

The next item of YuGiOh content I've created for the Sims under the creator name SallyCompaq122 is Marik Ishtar's distinctive choker necklace.

This was my first time creating an accessory that involved complex bone assignment and morph states, so there was a pretty steep learning curve. I even had to develop an add-on for Blender to get the morphs to stop exploding!

If you like the Sims 3 and want to play with this content, you can download it here.

This necklace is base-game compatible and works for male and female sims of all ages.

The level of detail is optimized so as not to slow down your game.

There is one recolorable channel and 8 lovely presets color-matched to precious metals and other metals historically used in jewelry.

Ancient Egyptian Khopesh

After completing the anvil tutorial by BlenderGuru, I was challenged to create something related, some kind of weapon.

And knowing me, I had to choose something at least vaguely related to YuGiOh…

So, here is a weapon used in Ancient Egpyt, the khopesh.

I based it on a weapon recovered in Tell Aphek which someone in Norway has replicated and photographed from multiple angles. The blade is sand-cast bronze, forged in one piece with a pressed-wood handle.

Since I haven't planned to put this in a game, my model is high-poly and all quads. The most challenging parts to model were the curvature in the area of the hook and the handle.

Here are the reference photos I was working from. The challenge was to duplicate the photos 1:1. I took some liberties with the lighting and composition.
