Ultimate Decades Challenge: 1390 - 1400

* TW: This post contains mention of characters who died during pregnancy/childbirth.

The decade began with Terric, our main heir, passing the torch to his son Alfred in 1391 as he succumbed to disease. Luckily, the silk business had already been established and the decade saw prosperity for many of our main households. As the families grew, they began to carve out their own spaces in the world of Windenburg. However, a new century has now dawns and the new heirs wonder if this is really the right place for them?

Marriages [5] 1392 - Theobald and Lucy Brooker 1393 - Fray and Malota Bennet 1393 - Galwin and Runild Bigod 1397 - Alfred and Anne Brooker 1398 - Norman and Mirabel Shaw

Births [10] 1390 - Eva Clifford 1393 - Raymond Brooker 1384 - Arnold Bigod 1395 - Fulke Brooker, Marion Brooker 1396 - Hawis Bennet, Solomon Bigod 1398 - Anika Shaw 1399 - Genevieve and Philomena Bigod

Deaths [5] 1391 - Terric Brooker (Diphtheria) 1395 - Osanna Shaw (Stone to death) 1397 - Maurice Clifford (Plague), Rose Brooker (Anaphylaxis) 1398 - Winifred Fletcher (Drowned) * Babies that never were [5]: Laurence Clifford, Sybil Brooker, Constance Brooker, Aline Brooker, Regina Bennet

Family Tree at 1400

Not going to lie... I love this couple so much. They are very poor and currently live in a single bedroom barn with their two children.

Fall, Year 8: Kimbrell/Chun

These two households both rent apartments in the same complex as the Vijayakars and Hanbys. Rebecca and James are actually peasants and Armando and Pamela are merchants.

Rebecca and James welcome their first baby, Sarah.

Since they both work outside of the home, Rebecca recruits the neighbors to babysit. Armando looks more than happy to do it.

Unfortunately, while they are away the cleaning bot they bought from the Smith’s goes berserk with no one home to stop it.

Rebecca has to hear all about the smell as soon as she gets home.

The chaos is cleaned up by the time Sarah has her birthday.

Next door, Armando is thinking about the genie lamp in the yard. (I didn’t know there was one or how long it’s been there. I had to hunt for it before he could make his wish.)

I’ve been rolling a die to decide what my sims wish for and he got resurrect a sim. I was trying to think of who would make the most sense for him to resurrect, then I remembered Colette is his cousin and they grew up like siblings, so Leila would make sense.

I thought I was going to have to have Leila stay with them until the end of the season, but then I realized the timing doesn’t matter since vampires don’t age. Their apartment was not going to be a safe place for her to stay with so much being outdoors.

“Guess who’s back! I hope you kept up with your studies while I was away.”

Later, Colette and Leila pay Armando a visit to thank him. He and Colette should really make an effort to see each other more often since they were so close growing up.

Armando and Pamela welcome a second daughter to the family this season. Her name is Amelia.

And their older daughter, Paulina celebrates her birthday.

While I absolutely adore all historical costume, the Tudor era has to be one of my all time favourites. The luxurious textiles, the rich colours, the opulent details - it's truly heaven for a costume nerd like myself. Tudor fashion was heavily influenced by key figures in the royal court such as Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Wealthier aristocratic women would demonstrate their status through their striking silhouettes, highly-embellished outer layers and ostentatious headdresses. While the clothing of lower classes remained much more simple than the upper class, the newly fashionable silhouette still trickled down through social strata.

1250 followers gift - take a peek at my medievalish fantasy game (part 1/?)

I've reached 1250 followers milestone way faster than I expected. Curiously enough, there was influx of new followers after I opened my poll regarding the gift. Has the promise of a showcase of my game lured you in? 😉

The showcase of my game won by the vast majority of votes. Hardly anyone wants me to build a lot. That is probably a right decision. xD

As my medievalish neighbourhood is much older than my modern gameplay, it'll be divided into more parts - there are more Sims, more backstories etc. Translations are going to be inconsistent once again, some names will be probably difficult to translate as some of them are made up to be puns and don't exist in the real world.

I'll start with explaining the rules and lore for this neighbourhood. This is my only neighbourhood that has any rules.

The kingdom is called "Ciemnogród", which can be literally translated into "Dark castle", but has also other meaning: it is used to depict a place or a group of people as superstitious, xenophobic, intolerant and of conservative beliefs. According to the Great Polish Dictionary it's a neologism created by Polish writer Stanisław Kostka Potocki. Wikipedia tells me that the word used in his work has been translated into "Dunceville" and let's stay by this option.

So, backstory for this neighbourhood is that there are two royal houses in the kingdom: Dariuses (red banner) and Claudiuses (blue banner). The houses have fought over the throne, leading the kingdom nearly into a collapse. Economic repercussions of that civil war are felt by every social class: nobility is even scarcer, once prosperous merchants dress not much wealthier than those who used to be middle class merchants. Crime is on the rise.

August the Mad of house Claudius and Konrad the Ginger of house Darius decided to put an end to the madness started by their fathers and agreed to diarchy. Moreover to make the houses more bound, they agreed that their eldest sons would marry their daughters. After the marriage daughters are allowed to keep wearing the colours of the house of their maiden name. Additionally, the third child of each couple, should they have so many children, shall wear the colours of its mother's maiden name house.

The problem is that the kings who signed the pact are dying out and their children can hardly remember the atrocities of the war as it was ended when they were still very young. The royal children, soon to become co-rulers are hungry for power and co-ruling brother-in-law can be an obstacle. Not to mention that the loyalties of their wives are uncertain - will they choose houses of their maiden names or houses of their husbands should a new war start?

Humans and supernatural creatures live in peace, however supernaturals are not allowed to live within city walls. They can own a business and work in the city. The only exception are witches and wizards who can live in the city. Royals respect wizards as they are useful servants and make good advisors. Some people speculate there are more reasons why wizards are treated favourably, especially by the Dariuses - it is said there's a blood curse cast on the house, hence some of its members have red eyes (e.g. Konrad the Ginger and his daughter Fiona). Some say it were the wizards who cast it and Dariuses in fear went lenient on wizards. Other say wizards played a positive role and earnt the privilege by fighting off the curse, red eyes being curse's last remnant.

The kingdom is divided into sections. At the center there is royal district. Between the castle of Claudiuses (on the left) and the castle of Dariuses (on the right) there are gardens of reconciliation, built to commemorate the end of civil war. Opposite the gardens there are public baths.

The main part of the city is filled with merchants' houses and their businesses. It is also inhabited by wizards, monks, knights and beggars. There's the central town square, a church, a library, a pub, training fields, fisher's shop, buthcer's shop, tailor's shop, potter's shop, greengrocer's and a store with magical artefacts.

The third part is only partially a part of the city as it is divided from the rest of the city by inner city walls, but is has its own city walls as well: it is the seashore. The only living family in this part of the city are the fishermen (who when fish don't want to be caught resort to piracy). There's also a public beach with docks.

Now onto parts of kingdom that aren't parts of the city. There are woods outside the gate guarded by a noble family of knights. In the forest lives a family of werewolves and a family of bigfeet. Further towards the borders of realm there's a settlement of fairies and elves - they are uninterested in the affairs of humans and tolerate the short-lived specimen as long as they don't bother them too much. They are also suspicious of elves of other settlements.

In this part of map can be found a cemetery just outside the gate, a lake, fairy park and a forest.

Last but not least, rural area on the other side of the city. It is inhabited by a family of an elf of another settlement than the forest elves and a plantsim. In the furthest part of the are there's a single man who is trying to run away from responsibilities (and the consequences of his actions).

There are some empty settlements busy with farmers before the war. The only public lot in this part is a wooden temple.

There's also university district and vacation destination - far east. I'll show them once I'm done with the main map.

I hope you'll find the journey through my neighbourhood interesting. 😊

15 questions for 15 mutuals

Thank you for marking me, I enjoyed reading all the answers to this list so much! @kestrelteens @kayleigh-83

Are you named after anyone? My parents only called me that because it wasn't a popular name in the 90s

When was the last time you cried? In February, when my friend left. In fact, I cry very rarely because I have problems with experiencing deep emotions. When I really cried, it was probably February\March of last year. For obvious reasons.

Do you have kids? No, but I'd like to one day. I feel too young to have children yet

Do you use sarcasm a lot? Not very. Usually it annoys me if I think that the interlocutor is saying something stupid and then I use sarcasm. Otherwise, I rather prefer to talk directly about my irritability.

What’s the first thing you notice about other people? Clothing and accessories. One day when I was approaching the place of the date, I thought, "Oh my God, I hope it's not him in that ugly hat"

Eye colour? I just found out it's called Hazel. Most of my friends think that I have brown eyes, but in fact it's just dark green. I myself thought for a long time that I had brown eyes, until I found out that this was impossible for genetic reasons in biology class. Lol.

Scary movies or happy endings? In fact, I really don't like horror movies, as I am extremely nervous, but paradoxically I like Stephen King horror books, I also like to watch reviews of scary games, and at one time I also read a lot of SCP. And some of my favorites are La Favorite and Spencer. But I also like TV series, for example, Sexual Education, The Handmaid's Tale, Euphoria And a lot of animated series

Any special talents? I can push my shoulder out of the joint and move my eye asymmetrically (but this is very dangerous because it occurs due to excessive blood pressure in the eyes and head). Also, I'm never late even if I'm late. For some reason, it always happens that I come before everyone else.

Where were you born? Russia, in a small provincial town of Samara. (A million and a half is a small town?) This city used to be a pirate bay, then a fortress, then a merchant hub on the Silk Road, and therefore the city center is located near the Volga River and a beautiful long beach is a 5-minute walk away. Sometimes I think it looks like Miami, but with beautiful wooden architecture of the XIX century

What are your hobbies? My hobby is art and it encompasses too many areas ranging from crafts and Craft and Art, and ending with the study of the latest fields of art. My professional activity is contemporary art, but I also draw, knit, embroider, sculpt, 3D model and much more. Now I'm finishing sewing another blanket, until recently I completely made my room, I redid some furniture, I really like to change spaces. I also like baking and now I have my own garden and I love messing with plants so much! But I don't perceive it as gardening, for me it's performative practices. And of course I really love sims and now I play sims 4 too much. A very important addition, I completely forgot to write about the TAROT. I started studying tarot since Halloween, but in general I have always been engaged in magical practices

Do you have any pets? No, I like to communicate with animals and I've always wanted to get a cat, but now I understand that this is a very big responsibility

How tall are you? 182 cm, quite tall and thin

Fave subject in school? I never liked school, but I liked Social Studies, Biology, World Culture and Art. At the university it was Art History, Psychology and Painting

Dream job? Don't work. I burned out a lot after working at the museum and could not start a new job for 5 months. I would just like to please you with Sims content and get enough money for a living from it. Now I work remotely and I am most comfortable that now I can wake up, take a laptop and, lying in bed, perform work tasks without communicating with people. Sometimes I feel so bad that it turned out to be the optimal format for me, so as not to overexert myself. I would like to tag all the English-speaking bloggers I subscribe to, so feel free to tag me. @lowedeus @greatcheesecakepersona @jellymeduza @alexbgd @lamare-sims

sending ask about aeryn

i would give my life for you, kind stranger.

OKAY SO.

Aeryn is my go-to character to play as in fantasy rpgs, basically. atm he’s only in Skyrim, Elden Ring and the Sims, although that one doesn’t. yknow. i mean it doesn’t really count i just made him for fun.

the best way to describe him is “guy who’s love language is acts of service. who falls in love very easily.”

so he joins the dark brotherhood in skyrim and the volcano manor in elden ring. naturally.

(i can’t think of anything specifically to give a content warning for so let’s just say he’s a fucked up little sex freak and i’m gonna be talking about it a little under the cut)

more ⤵️

these posts articulate his Vibe much better than i can. he really just. can’t conceptualise a life that doesn’t involve him devoting himself to a person or a cause. he’s also, as much as he tries to convince himself that he just wants a normal life, completely addicted to chaos and misery. he’s also kind of a hyper-sexual sadomasochist which really makes everything so much more Messy™️

he’s also trans. but he isn’t. but he is. he just never medically (magically? fantasy logic) transitions, makes no attempt to pass, except maybe his voice, which is very rough and nasally, and doesn’t correct people when they get it wrong cos he thinks it’ll get in the way of people wanting to have sex with him 🤷 a slut’s gotta have priorities i guess.

also his way of carrying himself is distinctly not feminine. not really masculine either just. alien. chiana from farscape core. now that i think about it he may be a little based off of her. grey skinned slut who wears black and moves animalistically. hmmm.

in Skyrim he’s a bosmer who was seduced by a vampire who wanted him as a blood thrall but the idiot after a while the idiot turned him instead of draining him of everything and killing him. he Came Back Wrong. he’s also not the Dragonborn. can you even imagine. anyway. Listener. Stealth Archer. you know the drill. images⤵️

he’s much more interesting in Elden Ring. because it’s Lore is so vague about the Tarnished’s background, i just revamp his skyrim story slightly. he was a member of religious assassins (confesser starting class) but was betrayed by their leader and he was burned alive in the underground sanctuary. (au, obviously not how it happens) anyway, he has no memory of this. he’s very resistant to the Golden Order, finds the guidance of “grace” very disturbing but also. very difficult resist following, even subconsciously. he has no desire to assume the mantle of Mighty Elden Lord. Patches The Untethered fucking fascinates him and he just. imprints on that poor bald man like a baby bird. literally twirling his hair and kicking his feet and giggling at every attempted homicide. which eventually leads him to the volcano manor

and by the outer gods does he devote himself to them so quickly. so intensely-and why is this becoming a blow by blow of his whole elden ring story. whoops. anyway. when he finds out melina must die for him he Loses His Fucking Shit. it is simply unacceptable. INCOMPREHENSIBLE that someone dies for him. luckily, Shabriri comes along and offers a lovely and elegant solution :)

here’s where what i said before about him not liking the golden order and hating the idea of being elden lord comes in. yes, he can’t imagine himself as a Lord. but as it turns out, when pushed into a corner. he can imagine himself as a Martyr. an ambassador for the misbegotten, the demi humans (are they different words for the same race? i genuinely don’t know) the omens, the nomadic merchants, those who live in death. he can warp this story about one guys selfish journey toward becoming a lord into an epic romantic tragedy about the selfless actions of the saviour of the downtrodden, who disintegrated all that divides and distinguishes. <3 may chaos take the world.

i Am Aware that his outfit is very silly. but it’s part of his character. ambassador for the omens (cloak) and nomadic merchants (idiot hat) and those who live in death (prince of death staff. not seen but it’s there) he used to wear alberichs fancy wizard set but after being burned by Frenzy i imagine him trying to put them back on and not being able to because. burns. painful. so he throws on the soft cloak to protect himself from the elements and goes about his business. half naked at all times. it’s a serve.

i tried putting him in Dragon Age, in both Origins and Inquisition, but i just can’t make him fit in there for some reason. i reckon i could make him work as a Maharial Morrigan-mancer in origins with a bit of canon divergence and a lotta willpower (my own, not like. the games willpower skill you can level up) but that would require to play origins and that’s a pain by itself if i’m being brutally honest. i’ve tried him twice in inquisition with a lovehate cassandra romance that ends just So Bad but. and not to be dramatic here but. i genuinely think he would commit suicide immediately after closing that damn breach. like i just cant think of a single reason he would stay with those people.

anyway. i think that’s finally it? i warned you it would be long. still feel like i’m forgetting something. thank you so much to anyone who’s read this far, i love you with my whole heart

#oc aeryn #your daily dose of idiocy #uh. sure why not #elden ring #skyrim #i don’t think asks show up in the main tags anyway.#once again i am in the weird and rare position of having said all that could be said in the main post #and having nothing to add it the tags. it’s weird.

Brooker Merchant Home - 1385

As promised, our Brooker family has moved up in the world. Our current heir, Terric, and his wife, Brigit have moved into the Merchant class and now live in the Market Square in Windenburg. The family has sold Norman's retail lot and used that money to re-open on the current lot (mostly so I can still play with all members of the family and avoid 400 loading screens). The land has been subdivided to include a separate selling-space, where the family produces and sells bolts of Silk Fabric. The house also includes a chicken coop, barn and garden. (Mostly, as this lot is still off-the-grid and simple living and it gives my Sims something to do, more-so than any historical accuracy).

I'm still reasonably new to building, so I'm sure I'll make loads of changes over time, as the family grows and I get more CC/mods. But overall, I think it's quite cute. :)

Birthstone Legacy Part?

Honestly, I can’t remember what part I was on. All I remember was last time, Aelia and Erik had become teens, and I believe Traeth had just become a toddler. And Will a kid. That means, I’m starting to get work done on Aelia’s Citrine generation, which is:

November stone: CITRINE

Color: Dark Yellow (almost Gold)

Citrine’s yellow stone radiates happiness, creativity, and wealth. Named for it’s citrus like color, it’s no wonder it’s the stone for a month known for it’s food. Citrine is known also as the Merchant’s stone for it’s golden color.

Traits: Cheerful, Foodie, Creative

Goals:

-Complete Culinary Career.

-Complete Culinary aspiration.

-Master Cooking and baking skills.

-Own a fruit and vegetable garden with every possible fruit and veggie in your game.

-Own a Bakery or Restaurant.

-Cook an Excellent quality Grand Meal.

-Learn 10 Food Stall recipes.

Also, I had made a small note when I opened this save a few days ago that with the attraction system, Azalea and Gregory found each other unattractive. Well, CAS, as expected fixed that. They now find each other basic, but their relationship is so close, that doesn’t matter. I also added a Home-Ec/cooking class room to my High School, so when Aelia’s at school, she can work on those skills.

I had a whole weekend before school, though, so I got her cooking and baking skills up before then.

She is working on her gourmet cooking skills now alongside her cooking and baking skill. I did have her make her first few meals as a kid with her dad, Gregory, so I think story-wise, she got into cooking because her Dad liked to cook with her, and she likes to emulate him.

And Aelia’s first day as a Barista to get some money going. Erik is currently also working as a construction worker on the weekends.

Aelia and Erik’s first day of high school. I feel like Erik is going to drop the renegades, just because his likes and dislikes say he’s a lot more preppy.

He’s also and excellent older brother.

Also found out that Traeth and Will had birthdays the same day, meaning Azalea and Gregory were about to have a house full of teenagers!

New family photo!

I randomized all likes and traits for everyone except Aelia. Erik is preppy and chill. Will is a bit self-conscious of himself, and likes streetwear. Aelia is just an indie-yellow ball of sunshine with cookies. And Traeth’s favorite colors randomized to Pink and Black, so I think he’s going to grow to be our Punk Prince who likes the ocean.

Of course, I was grinding both Pink Tourmaline Gen (1) and Citrine Gen (2). So here is where I’m at:

Pink Tourmaline Goals:

-Complete the Politician career as a Charity Organizer. (7/10)

-Complete Friend to the World aspiration. (3/4) *I am 2 charisma points away from this though.

-Adopt 2 kids (Do not have to be legacy continuation).

-Max out friendship/be best friends with 4 sims before becoming an Adult. The friendship must be maintained throughout life.

-Have a rose garden.

-Write 5 Children’s books. (4/5)

-Volunteer with family 5 times. (5/5)

Citrine Goals:

-Complete Culinary Career. (Start at YA)

-Complete Culinary aspiration. (1/4)

-Master Cooking and baking skills.

Cooking (5/10)

Baking (2/10)

Gourmet Cooking (1/10)

-Own a fruit and vegetable garden with every possible fruit and veggie in your game.

-Own a Bakery or Restaurant. (YA)

-Cook an Excellent quality Grand Meal.

-Learn 10 Food Stall recipes.

So, we are making progress. Soon, I will only be worrying about Azalea’s career. She’d have been promoted if her job worked more days. Gregory just got promoted.

I think my plan for Aelia is to just get her cooking skill and baking skill as high as I can before she becomes a young adult, as well as start collecting Food Stall recipes and cook an excellent Grand Meal in two days on Thanksgiving. She’s not far from the 2nd level of the culinary aspiration either.

Happy simming!

Fall, Year 8: Vijayakar/Hanby

Lindsay checks in on the carpet shop and her new employee. She needed more help and this teen townie most have been the best option at the time.

Benjamin is bored. Stuck in the apartment all day, I wonder if he misses his brief time living in the vampire apartments. Even in his own apartment his job seemed to keep him busy and out of trouble during daylight hours.

He needs to be kept out of trouble. I don’t think the neighbors’ apartment smells bad enough that you need to risk your life to complain about it.

Avril and Caryl still haven’t been able to keep the peace after their broken marriage and their son, Darryl is the one suffering because of it.

Caryl decides, for her son’s sake, things can’t go on this way.

She moves out and rents her own apartment for just the two of them.

Meanwhile, things are not going well for Avril. She loses her job.

She also starts to feel bad about how things were and she apologizes to Caryl for her terrible behavior.

Hopefully they can work on being civil for Darryl’s sake.

Later, Caryl makes peace by stopping by with a gift of a piano? (I’m not sure what date or outing prompted this, but that must have been some apology.)

Also Tiffany’s son, Adam, has his child birthday.

So, in my Megakingdom...

(an ubermegahood made over to be medieval and played as a huge medieval charter challenge, don't worry about it)

...the original plan in Pleasantview was to have the Goths as Nobility (the local Duke), the Oldies and the Ramaswamis as Merchants, the Pleasants, Burbs, and Calientes as Yeomen, the Brokes, Dreamers, an Don Lothario as Peasants, and import Frances J. Worthington III from La Fiesta Tech to be the required Gentry of Pleasantview.

But now I'm thinking... why not promote the Pleasants to the Gentry family, leave Frances in the marriage pool of university, and swap the Burbs and the Ramaswamis so the families make sense? I'd have the same number of Merchant and Yeoman families, but there's nothing wrong with that. I could still make the Pleasants be shepherds--this is early in the establishment of the kingdom, minor lords will need to get their hands dirty to earn a living. They can hire Don Lothario as a farmhand. Or I could make them cow/dairy farmers, and possibly add horses to that, because a straight swap of the Burbs and Ramaswamis planned occupations makes the Burbs own the local market (good! Jennifer will enjoy that!) and make the Ramaswamis the dairy farmers, which feels culturally wonky to inflict on them. I mean, it's the Sims, I can do what I want, but it would still feel weird.

It would also mean one of the girls is highly likely to be married off to Tybalt Capp--probably Lilith since it's a lateral class move. But that certainly sounds Interesting...

Lindenwood, a new medieval settlement

I'm excited to be starting a new medieval charter challenge since my last one was sacrificed to the Mac file limit gods! Here's some pics from my neighborhood screen. I'm going to put my own twist on things this time around, so here's what I will be changing:

Semi-egalitarian society: For the lower classes (peasants & yeomen), the firstborn* child will be the heir, regardless of sex (*or first-adopted/alienborn, in the case of queer couples).

The upper classes (gentry, nobility, royalty) are still clinging to the vestiges of patriarchy, which means that only the firstborn male can be the heir.

Depending on the family dynamics, some merchants will be egalitarian, while others will be patriarchal.

Elves will follow a matrilineal matriarchy regardless of class.

Major Micromanagement: In the original rules of the challenge, there are certain NPCs that you aren't supposed to play until they marry into a household. Well, I never really liked doing that because I like to play all the sims in my neighborhoods and learn their stories. So, I'm going to be playing all the characters.

Religion: I have the Mac Super Collection, which means I can't use Hat's G-rated Religion mod. But as someone who studies religion for a living, I can't live without it in my game! So instead, I've decided to implement my own religion system. Sims who are "faithful" will be devoted to one of the following deities:

The Watchers: The Watchers are a pantheon of deities that rule over all aspects of life. Humans are their main devotees, and this is the religion that is sanctioned by the monarchy. There are 9 major deities in the pantheon, and most are affiliated with at least one aspiration. Sims who follow The Watchers will choose at least one patron deity and set up an altar for them in their place of residence. In this religion, the first day of each season is a feast day for one or more deities from the pantheon.

The Great Fairy: Fairies (aka plantsims) are devotees of the Great Fairy. As part of their religious practice, fairies tend a garden filled with many fantastical things, such as plants that can reverse aging and heal sickness. Only those whom the Great Fairy deems worthy may enter.

The Old Gods: The Old Gods are an ancient pantheon mainly worshiped by elves. The head of this pantheon is Mother Dragon, the great sky goddess who created the world. Elves believe that exchanging names with those of the Spirit World is dangerous, so The Old Gods do not have names.

So yeah, I'm really excited about this challenge and plan to share pix on here as I progress through it!

3, 15, and 18 for the historical ask game?

3. What is your favorite decade/era to play?

Already answered here for @jenplayssims. But, I guess that's my favourite historically accurate era to play that I've actually been able to recreate in-game.

I do love all era's pre-Victorian England. I'd love a Tudor game, but it's so hard to get decent male clothing. I'm toying with the idea of @princesspiratecat's Homestead Challenge set at the beginning of Australian Colonisation, but lack a lot of the CC to make it true to history. One era that I will bring to life is 1300's England, inspired by this picture of a model of 1300's Birmingham.

I am planning on transferring my Elder Scrolls mega-hood onto a mini PC with Linux as the OS, but still want a playable game on my laptop. I can scale back on my CC a bit and really bring this little town to life, with an integrated economy using the S&M items. In fact, I'm planning on populating it with the Sims available for download on your Tumblr, with Henry VIII and one of his wives being the noble family (Henry will be referred to as the Boar of Bramblingham). I can't wait!

15. Do you build/expand houses as you play or use cheats to purchase?

I build/expand houses as I play. All initial houses are generally built to MCC specifications, although I do include enough beds for all family members. I do plan to have some 'starter' lots that are social class specific for the extra children to move into, but Peasants will then become indentured to the local Lord and move down into the 'Serf' social class, while Yeomen/Merchant and Gentry children will probably need to take out a bank loan, unless their parents are wealthy. Nobles will generally be wealthy enough to provide small estates for their 'spares'. These lots will be cheap and sparsely furnished, but available to upgrade as the owners earn more money.

18. What do you struggle with most in historical gameplay?

Probably the sheer amount of CC I have currently (20GB) and the constant crashes and pink flashing on my brand new and very competent Win10 gaming laptop. Theoretically, TS2 should run like melted butter, but as we know, TS2 and Win10 are not the best of friends!
