#Castle Estate kit

[melan-ia-sims]

Nobody else took time to do it, so I finally did 💙

They're not perfect, I had to recreate all the grass and dirt stains by hand which is a little rough, but they do thankfully look pretty good up close 😄

NOT an Override!! These are just added swatches

Castle Grandeur - Castle Estate Kit Shell Dump

I had a lot of fun building with the new Castle Estate Kit, and many asked for the shells, so here they are. I have done a rough interior layout, but really, it's up to you to furnish as these are all just pretty shells. Have fun!

Rock Ridge Castle

If peace and quiet appeals to you, the Rock Ridge Castle is ideal. Nestled up against Glimmerbrook's towering boulders, this grand location is sure to give any Spellcaster the silence they need to practice and study to hone their magical prowess.

Built for the ninth generation of my personal Not So Berry 2 save, this manor is a little quirky, just like I imagine a remodeled castle-turned-home might be. There are two separate upstairs sections. The back upper tower is empty because I couldn't figure out what to do with it. There's a repurposed "dungeon" under the inner courtyard. I couldn't find a good place for a TV, so there isn't one. There's a hedge "maze" with a firepit and fountain pool. In all its eccentricities, this was such a fun lot to play in. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Sims 4 Castle Estate Kit: An Honest Review

Xan here. I do a fair amount of historical builds, fortresses and castles included—but having to hand-draw parapets as half-walls, the lack of appropriate windows, and the mismatched wall textures regularly drive me up the wall. So when I heard they were releasing the castle kit, I was hype. But, then it came out, and the collective response online seemed to be an overwhelming ‘meh’. Still, I’m committed now, so I bought it to check it out.

And I sort of agree? But I also…don’t. Stay with me, I’ll explain.

First of all, here’s what you get with the kit: 25 items: 1 wallpaper, 1 floor, a foundation, 2 fences, stairs, railing, pillars, 2 wall trims, spandrel, and 2 wall decors, plus windows and doors.

…I have a few observations.

Let’s start with the worst bits:

The Bad:

The swatches are…underwhelming. There are seven, five with variations. The white and black are standalone. The tan (left) and cream (right) are almost identical in some lighting. There’s also one tan swatch with greenery on it, not seen elsewhere. (It has flowers. Why would there be flowers on a castle wall? Maybe that’s just me.) Rest assured, it matches nothing else in the game but the floor that came with it. The brown is…very brown—but there’s a good thing about it, I’ll get there.

So. The spandrels. They look okay up-close, if a little jagged sometimes. But the jaggedness blooms like mold when you zoom out. (At least on my PC.) Probably not using these.

We did get a new foundation, though it doesn’t quite seem to match the walls, due to the light border. Unfortunately, as usual, we did not get a new platform to match it. It’s like EA forgot that feature…

Nitpick with the wall emblem we got: the “clean” swatches are the knight helmet, and the “dirty” ones are a goofy heraldry. No option to have clean heraldry or dirty knight helmet. Also, note that the black and white come with dirty swatches, but we didn’t get dirty walls.

And this is really petty, but these beautiful windows? These ones, here?

Only come with two—count ‘em, two—stained glass swatches, in either gray or tan. That’s all you get. So that black cathedral with stained glass windows you wanted? You’re out of luck. Not fond of the art either. It’s cute, but that means I won’t use it. (Sidenote: that tiny window is not 'an arrow slit', EA.)

That was a lot. Now let’s get to:

The Good:

The windows and doors themselves are amazing. Just look at them! They’re appropriately grand for a castle, and they included sizes for all wall-heights. The best ones are locked to the tallest wall, but for a reason. They’re enormous. Probably the biggest ones we got.

The crenelation fence is a Godsend. (No more drawing half-walls for hours!) It’s adaptive, meaning it changes where the bigger support is based on how long the fence is, where it’s bent, etc. And it looks phenomenal. The wall trims are ornamental as hell, but they are also very cool.

Fun bonus: despite the stereotype regarding EA swatches not matching, the stone textures do sort of match some of the walls we already have! (Shown: Get Together, Bowling Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Jungle Adventure, Cottage Living; Castle Estate walls at the bottom.) This means you can mix and match the new trims, parapets, pillars, windows, doors, all of it, to a degree. And it works pretty well!

Final Verdict: Is it Worth it?

So, when I first got it, I wasn’t super sold. Then, I ran a test on a build I was struggling with and…well, you saw the cover. Needless to say, for five dollars, that’s not bad.

If you’re a historical builder or just really want some grand objects to use, it’s worth the money. There are issues, and the low price tag doesn’t excuse that, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Kit itself is pretty good.

(Now all I need is for them to give us a privy. If you live in a castle, you shouldn’t have to pee in a bush.)

Sims 4 Castle Estate Kit!

I finally tried out the new Castle Estate Kit from The Sims 4!

I am in love with how my build turned out. I am picturing it as some old ruin that the locals have turned into a folklore story about a wizard who use to live there and would scare the children who dared visit them. I haven't done the inside yet, but I do plan on doing that in the next couple of days. I do wish we had spiral staircases though..

[tremaryart]

I really love the "Castle State Kit", but I'm a slow builder, so I need a secluded place for a young spellcaster to live and practice magic, so I'm building a small watch tower on tartossa peninsula... You know my game play is about a spellcaster legacy challenge.

THE REAPERS CASTLE

This absurdly large castle nestled in the Glimmerbrook highlands was originally constructed as a hunting lodge for some fancy lord-something or other, and has seen numerous renovations and additions over the centuries — keeping up with the Von Haunts, if you will. Today, its stately grounds and sumptuous interiors serve the grandest of modern purposes: as the filming location for the hit reality television series, The Reapers.

Lot details:

Lot Type: Residential (10 bed, 10 bath)

Price: §608,093

Size: 40x30

Location: Rock Ridge Canyon, Glimmerbrook

Furnished to host a certain reality competition show but could be redecorated (with an obvious focus on the breakfast and round table rooms) if you're looking to move in permanently

I’ve used from all packs freely here — it's gonna get pretty weird if you don't have the Castle Kit

The Traitors Reapers Turret (and a secret tower prison) are only accessible via teleportation — see more here / here and floor plans under the cut

The Castle Estate pack is one of my favorite kits ever. That said, this is as far as I got because I completely don't know how to build a castle. I'm going to figure it out though, know that.
