Item description:

Sources Referenced:

• Sims 4 Basegame Pride Flag Mesh - Edit removes/reduces the bulky screws, adds fabric flow, texture, and a variation in colors/flag options - 44 swatches!

• Official HEX codes referenced (slightly modified due to either contrast, vibrancy, and/or subtle preference or aesthetic choice yet the creation attempts to honor the original tones and essence): https://www.flagcolorcodes.com/flags/pride

• Flag Texture incorporated into CC:

Hoi4 Flags Textures by Leeb - Age of Civilizations: http://www.ageofcivilizationsgame.com/topic/160139-hoi4-flags-textures/

 

Recolor Idea Origin:

*I saw a post on Twitter by SatchOnSims (https://twitter.com/Dovelette_Sims/status/1773659135675936821) bringing to my attention that the game is missing a flag for Gay Men/MLM identifying individuals

This inspired me to create this swatch to include them and while I was at it I decided to overhaul the in-game Pride flag with what I hope serves as more expansive and inclusive Pride Flag now with 44 swatches of higher quality texture, tones, and expanded representation

 

Notes:

*This is a creation (my first recolor) to celebrate identity, love, belonging, exploration, allyship, and genuine Pride!

 

*Original designs that were too complex for my current design/Sims 4 Studio/CC creation capabilities were retained in their original format to maintain representation. These options do not have edited texture/tones, etc. They are listed below and depicted in the preview images in addition to the new swatches

 

*This recolor contains swatches that are not exhaustive or limited to any/all identities or expressions. I attempted to include as many as possible without considerable redundancy. This creation is meant to convey support and respect regardless of potentially contentious perspectives for/against identities or reflective banners. Kindly understand this is meant with best intentions and to be inclusive as possible and I hope this encourages respect for people identify/express and that this can bring you joy and help your Sims “fly their colors high!”
