So after several hours of crashing and endless loading screens, I have learned that the sims 4 game engine does NOT like when you use TOOL to make 19th century gingerbreading for a build.

Olde Mill Inn

17th century timber-framed watermill with tavern, gardens, and rooms to rent.

Olde Mill Inn

One of my favorite books growing up was The Truth-Tellers Tale by Sharon Shinn. The main protagonists were twin girls with magic powers, but even more interesting than one twin being unable to lie while the other was only able to keep secrets, was their house: The parents owned and operated an inn! And it was such a great plot device for the story, with all sorts of people coming and going, enjoying the rooms, food, and drinks, bringing news and goods from far parts of the kingdom. It's no Leaf & Berry Inn, and there's no Truth-Tellers or Safe-Keepers in residence (yet), but I wanted it to have that same cozy, communal vibe the book always gave me, and a good opportunity for storytelling.

Originally made for a reddit build challenge, Olde Mill Inn is a Tudor rental residential with working watermill, quaint stone bridge, and four story tower.

The Blessed Cult Legacy Masterpost

Blessed be the fruit.

So around four score and seven years ago, in late 2017, I decided to start a legacy based on The Handmaid's Tale. I named it the Blessed Cult legacy, and only posted it to r/thesims for the entirety of it's run.

It had a small, dedicated audience that I am forever grateful for, because working on it carried me through some rough times, and it was probably still the most fun I ever had in my game to this day.

Unfortunately the series came to a premature end due to data loss (some lessons have to happen multiple times before you get it ig). After losing so much work, CC, and screenshots forever, I ended up dropping the series entirely and any maintenance for imgur links.

Since I still receive sporadic messages about the series from people finding it years later, they alerted me to the fact that some of the links are broken. I only just realized some of them are have been wiped entirely from imgur for gore or nudity, and are unrecoverable.

In a half-ass effort to preserve what I have left, Im reuploading all the imgur links and reddit posts related to the series here.

May the lord open.

DISCLAIMERS

TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic and sexual violence, enslavement, religious fundamentalism, rigid gender roles, child abuse, gore/extremeviolence mod, nudity/wickedwhims mod

Because the show was still newish and The Testaments hadn't been released yet, I basically filled in gaps in the social order as I went along. Definitely a lot of things I wouldn't do today.

Ngl some parts are very cringy to me now, looking back at my 22-23 year old self. So PLEASE dont assume I write or think like this anymore, for the love of the Watcher :')

Reddit post: The Blessed Cult Legacy

Reddit post: How toddlers can singlehandedly destroy any well planned gameplay (Blessed Cult update)

Reddit post: Blessed Cult Update (#3)

The fourth post is gone completely from my imgur, most likely for NSFW content. Since the only screens I have left of this save are the ones in my imgur, that one is just gone completely.

Reddit post: Blessed Cult Update (#4)

Reddit post: Blessed Cult is Back! (#5)

Reddit post: Turns out a 15 sim household is just constant birthdays (Blessed Cult update #6)

Blessed Cult #7 is also lost to the sands of time, most likely because of gore. Which is a shame, because it was the season finale. I no longer have the imgur post, but the reddit post is still up. RIP.

Reddit post: All cults go to some heaven (Season 1 Finale)

Reddit post: We've been sent good weather (Blessed Cult Legacy Season 2)

Season 2 episode 2 is also gone probably for NSFW and nudity. F.

Reddit Post: Secret Life of a Gileadean Teenager (Blessed Cult 2.2)

Reddit post: Yellow Wallpaper (Blessed Cult 2.3)

After this point I lost everything on my computer up to about half a year and was so depressed by the loss that I dropped the series, and Sims in general, for several years. Here is the reddit post explaining that: A brief post about the Blessed Cult Legacy.

I had also created some builds for this save, some of which I posted about here when I returned to Sims from my hiatus (The great dump, parts 1, 2, and 3).

Besides the main house, there was a very large cathedral that was built and then revamped - only shared on reddit/imgur, as well as the main banqueting hall used for events:

Reddit post: Yacothia Cathedral - Blessed Cult Legacy

Reddit Post: Yacothia Cathedral Reboot - Blessed Cult

Reddit post: A post not about EA's latest fuckup. A nice neutral build post

The Future?

For the past few years I have actually been working on bringing the series back to some extent. I have several test saves, a google doc of a potential Handmaid's Tale legacy challenge, and Ive been communicating regularly with other simmers who have implemented the idea into their own games!

So keep an ear out, an eye open. And nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
