#I am thinking of doing a proper historical playthrough in ts2 since it's much more customisable map-wise

omg show off your historic ts4 game plsss. i always wanna get into that but it seems like so much work

yeah it's a huge pain in the ass, so I never go all in like some people do. I really want to try doing something more 'medieval' and involved, but I know I'd be pissed off by the game's built in unavoidable modern features so for now I just stick to more recent decades lol. I also don't spend a lot of time renovating a whole neighbourhood, I mostly just stick to one household and whenever any sim from the outside comes near I kidnap them, give them a period-fitting makeover & set them out into the wild again.

I just started this new save so I don't have much to show for now; I'm doing a somewhat 70s play-through (anachronisms permitted because finding good CC for this period is impossible), with a big multigenerational family. Currently though we've only got a guy who keeps remarrying, his fourth wife who hates him, their six children, and all of their interpersonal drama.

Here's their house. It's been renovated and added to a few times over the years, but a lot of old bits remain (ignore that unfinished side I just noticed it lmaoo). I even got a custom picture of the ancestral sickos up in the living room.

The fourth wife, Sylvia, when she was younger (she married very young, which she regrets now) and newly moved in, and then after she had her second set of twins, poor woman.

The first set of twins of hers when they were young & then as teens, Yasmin and Danny. They used to b close but then grew apart when Dan started dating the gorl Yasmin is secretly in love with :^)

Mostly I just let everyone do what they will autonomously and sometimes intervene for more drama, but it's still early so nothing wild has happened yet (besides grandma dying in the livingroom).
