Cave painting with representation of the Weather Gods. Dated to c.6000 BC. Mount Latmos, modern-day Turkey.  

Since prehistoric times the Latmos was one of the sacred mountains in Anatolia. Upon its peak the old Anatolian rain-and weather-god together with a local mountain deity were worshipped. The prehistoric weather god was later replaced by the Hittite deity Tarhunt and then by the god Zeus of Classical Greece. The local mountain deity lived on in Greek mythology as Endymion, the young shepherd and hunter, and lover of the lunar goddess Selene. The Latmos remained a sacred mountain until the end of Medieval times. At that time it was called “Latros”. Monks driven out of the Sinai and the Arabic peninsula (today Yemen) sought refuge here in the 7th century AD.

  The fascinating rock landscape of the Latmos mountains as well as the archaeological monuments of this region are threatened with destruction by the constant expansion of stone quarries in this area.

Trying to branch out of the conversion cycle and attempting my first mesh from scratch. It's going surprisingly well!

I might have finished the overall shape. Now I need to figure out how much more detail I need to add, and then remove, to keep it low poly.

I'm using TS4 model since I plan on making this for that game first, and then convert it to TS2? We'll see how it goes!

Oh, and btw my reference is this dress worn by Marina, because she always lives rent-free in my head 👁️👄👁️

A Dream of Latmos - (between 1878-1879) Joseph Noel Paton

Endymion sleeps. Upon his upturned brow,

The gift of Jupiter - eternal youth

Lies fresh as leaves that look upon the spring

But one day old.

And his sleep heavy eyes

Are closed and all is silence, save the heart

That still is beating ruddy strokes of life,

For that fair vision and that one desire

To shape itself and light up all his soul.

There is no stir on Latmos; every star

Can hear him breathing; for they too have seen

The dream beneath his eyelids’.

- Alex Anderson Surfaceman

grato m'è il sonno

Endimión en Latmos Yo dormía en la cumbre y era hermoso mi cuerpo, que los años han gastado. Alto en la noche helénica, el centauro demoraba su cuádruple carrera para atisbar mi sueño. Me placía dormir para soñar y para el otro sueño lustral que elude la memoria y que nos purifica del gravamen de ser aquel que somos en la tierra. Diana, la diosa, que es también la luna, me veía dormir en la montaña y lentamente descendió a mis brazos oro y amor en la encendida noche. Yo apretaba los párpados mortales, yo quería no ver el rostro bello que mis labios de polvo profanaban. Yo aspiré la fragrancia de la luna y su infinita voz dijo mi nombre. Oh las puras mejillas que se buscan, oh ríos del amor y de la noche, oh el beso humano y la tensión del arco. No sé cuánto duraron mis venturas; hay cosas que no miden los racimos ni la flor ni la nieve delicada. La gente me rehúye. Le da miedo el hombre que fue amado por la luna. Los años han pasado. Una zozobra da horror a mi vigilia. Me pregunto si aquel tumulto de oro en la montaña fue verdadero o non fue más que un sueño. Inútil repetirme que el recuerdo de ayer y un sueño son la misma cosa. Mi soledad recorre los comunes caminos de la tierra, pero siempre busco en la antigua noche de los númenes la indiferente luna, hija de Zeus. [Endimione a Latmo Dormivo sulla vetta ed era bello il mio corpo, che gli anni hanno gualcito. L'alto centauro, nella notte ellenica, rallentava la sua quadrupla corsa per spiare il mio sonno. Mi piaceva dormire per sognare e per quel sonno lustrale in cui eludiamo la memoria e ci purifichiamo dal gravame d'essere quel che siamo sulla terra. Diana, la dea, che al contempo è la luna, mi vedeva dormire in mezzo ai monti e lentamente offrì alle mie braccia oro e amore nell'infiammata notte. Io stringevo le palpebre mortali, volevo non vedere il soave volto che le mie labbra, polvere, oltraggiavano. Aspirai la fragranza della luna: disse il mio nome, con voce infinita. Oh quelle guance pure che si cercano, oh fiumi dell'amore e della notte, oh bacio umano, oh arco che si tende. Non so quanto durò la mia fortuna; non ogni cosa si misura in grappoli, né in petali, né in neve delicata. La gente mi evita. Le fa paura l'uomo che è stato amato dalla luna. Sono passati gli anni. Un'inquietudine tormenta la mia veglia. Mi domando se quel tumulto d'oro in mezzo ai monti sia stato vero o se fu solo un sogno. Inutile ripetermi che sono la stessa cosa i sogni ed i ricordi. Nella mia solitudine percorro strade qualunque sulla terra, eppure nella notte dei numi cerco sempre l'indifferente luna, la figlia di Zeus. da J. L. Borges, Storia della notte]

The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Selene (Σελήνη meaning ‘Moon’) was the Titan Goddess of the moon in Greek mythology who was renowned for driving her moon chariot across the heavens. One of her great loves was with a shepard prince called Endymion who was granted eternal youth and immortality by Zeus (king of the gods) who then placed him in a state of eternal slumber in a cave near the peak of Lydian Mount Latmos. Each night Selene would visit him when the moon came down from the sky where she would consort with him because she couldn’t bare the thought of him dying.

Sims 2ified by sufficeittosay

More info and SFS DL link under the cut!

What the pack includes:

There are five different posters, but due to the aspect ratios, two of the meshes only have four (a different four) each.

Maxis FT Mesh - Great Movie Poster ($60) - FREETIME REQUIRED, SORRY MAC WITCHES

Hooded Cat in Snow

Girl Riding Bear

Mouse Riding Turtle

Onion with Tea

*In the previews, this is the mesh with the multi-colored push pins.

*In the previews, these are the ones with no push pins. I am too lazy/not confident in my ability to graft scotch tape (Louise's chosen hanging method) over these. Sorry!

BONUS!

Thread&Sandpaper It Will Last Longer (Horizontal) [MESH NOT INCLUDED] featuring a reference photo of Louise's bedroom (post lofting, which hid a lot of the posters which is why I didn't stage it that way in the previews). In the canon of the show, TECHNICALLY Mouse Riding Turtle does not show up until the bed is lofted so it's apocryphal in the preview :)

FULL DISCLOSURE: Otter Space Design's original PNGs were beautiful, hi-res, amazing drawings. I sized them down to MAX 343x512 for the biggest one, Girl Riding Bear on Aikea's mesh. The tiniest (Cat Over Orange on Aikea's mesh, because it is canonically the smallest) is 150x225. If you zoom in too close, they will be pixely. If for some reason you think this is important enough to go up to 1024 on, I can make that for you.

All files clearly labeled so you can keep only what you want. Enjoy!

Venerable Christodulus, wonderworker of Patmos (1093)

VENERABLE CHRISTODULUS, WONDERWORKER OF PATMOS, MONK (1093)

Our Venerable Father Christódoulos 1) was born near Nicaea of Bithynia circa 1020. His parents' names were Theodore and Anna, and their son received the name John in Holy Baptism. He was renowned as an ascetic and a physician throughout the Byzantine Empire.

In 1043 he was tonsured on Mount Olympus, where, under the guidance of the Elders, he received a broad education. After the death of his Spiritual Father, he made a pilgrimage to the holy places in 1045. He visited Rome and Palestine, and he lived in Asia Minor, and on some Greek islands, where he founded several monasteries.

After the Saracen invasion of Palestine, Father Christódoulos left the Holy Land and in 1070 settled on Mount Latmos, in the stavropegial Monastery of the Theotokos in northwestern Karia. Soon he was chosen as the Superior of that monastery. In 1076, Patriarch Cosmas I of Constantinople installed Father Christódoulos as Archimandrite over all the Latmian monasteries. From 1076–1079, he labored to build and fortify monasteries.

In 1079 the Latmian monasteries were destroyed by the Seljuk Turks. The Saint took refuge with his small community in the city of Strovilos on the Aegean coast, where the hermit Arsenios placed him in charge of his monastery. Father Christódoulos soon moved to the nearby island of Kos, the least affected by Muslim incursions. There Arsenios had several estates, and on Mount Pelion, at the latter's suggestion, Christódoulos founded the Kastrian Monastery of the Most Holy Theotokos in 1080.

In 1087, he founded a monastery on the neighboring island of Leros. In addition, during his stay on the island of Kos, Saint Christódoulos organized an expedition to Mount Latmos in order to rescue the books from the monastic community which he had abandoned. These books were sent to the library of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople for safekeeping.

Seeking greater solitude and austerity, Saint Christódoulos turned his attention to the island of Patmos. He was so struck by the ascetic spirit of these places that he decided to establish a monastery on that island. In 1089, he submitted his first application to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos for a new monastic community on the island of Patmos, in place of the land on the island Kos and on the shores of Karia.

According to a Chrysobull issued in 1088, the Emperor gave the island of Patmos to Father Christódoulos as an eternal, inalienable property, exempting it from all taxes. It forbade government officials to act on the island. In fact, the island was withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the state's administration, and all judicial and administrative power on this island was concentrated in the hands of the Igoumen of the Monastery.

The Venerable one established a monastery on a mountain near the cave, where, according to Tradition, the Holy Apostle John the Theologian received a divine revelation and wrote his prophetic book in the years 68-69. The monastery was built on a rocky ledge, almost in the center of the island, and during the first three years, it had acquired the appearance of a fortress.

However, in the last years of his life, because of the raids of pirates, the Saint was forced to flee Patmos. He and his disciples went to the island of Euboea, where he reposed on March 16,1093. Shortly before his death, he gave his disciples instructions to bury him on the island of Patmos in the Monastery he founded. His disciples took his holy and incorrupt relics and transferred them to his own Monastery, where they remain for the sanctification of those who venerate them with faith.

Saint Christódoulos is also commemorated on October 21 (the transfer of his holy relics).

1 His name means "the servant of Christ."

ISAIAH 7:1-15

1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against it. 2 And it was told to the house of David, saying, “Syria’s forces are deployed in Ephraim.” So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind. 3 Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field, 4 “and say to him: ‘Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”— 7 ‘thus says the Lord God: “It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass. 8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin. Ephraim will be broken within sixty-five years, so it will not be a people. 9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, And the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, Surely you shall not be established.”  10 Moreover, the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!” 13 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it small for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? 14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 “Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

GENESIS 5:32-6:8

32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

[thesynaxarium]

Today we also celebrate our Venerable Father Neophytos the Recluse. Saint Neophytos was born in the mountain village of Kato Drys near Pano Lefkara, Cyprus, to farming parents Athanasios and Eudoxia,[2] one of eight children. His religious interests came to the fore when the arranged marriage planned by his parents ended with his fleeing to the Monastery of Saint John Chrysostomos in Koutsovendis. After much ado, the marriage contracts were broken and Neophytos went back to the monastery as a novice, becoming a tonsured monk in 1152. During this time he learned to read and write and was eventually appointed as assistant sacristan. Although Neophytos felt called to be a hermit, his abbot declined to let him go, citing his youth. In 1158, however, Neophytos was allowed to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. While he was there he sought out hermits who might sponsor him, but to no avail. He returned to Cyprus, but still wanted to pursue the hermitic life. He tried to escape to Mt. Latmos in Asia Minor, but was arrested at Paphos upon his attempted embarkation. He was shortly released from prison, but the guards had stolen his travel funds, so, in June 1159, he went to the hilly area above Paphos, where he found a cave that had been used by a previous hermit. He enlarged the space, eventually creating three caves known today as the Cell, the Bema and the Naos. Neophytos's life as a hermit attracted the religious in the area who brought him food and gifts. His air of sanctity brought many to visit him, and in 1170 Vasilios Kinnamos, the Bishop of Paphos, ordained him as a priest and required him to take a disciple, which started the monastery which now bears his name. May he intercede for us always + Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neophytos_of_Cyprus (at Tala, Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnxsam9vp6I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"To take an example from mythology, there's Endymion, who once upon a time dozed off on Mount Latmos in Caria and, for all I know, hasn't yet awakened. Do you think he cares whether the laboring moon, who made him swoon, kisses him while he sleeps?"

Gündüzü ve gecesi bir başka güzel olan bu yörede, bir gün fırsatını bulursanız, güneşin denizde kayboluşunu ya da dolunayda ayın, denizi, samsun (mykale) dağını, başparmak (latmos) dağlarını gümüşi ışıkla yıkadığını seyrediniz. Suyun kenarında iseniz, ay ışığının parmaklarınıza değdiğini, avuçlarınızdaki suyun sudan farklı bir nesne olduğunu, aya dokunduğunuzu hissedeceksiniz. Selene'nin yanınızdan geçip, Endimiyon'un yanına doğru süzüldüğünü, havadaki güzel kokudan ve uçuşan saçlarınızdan anlayacaksınız.
