#history challenge sims

[anothersimlishtragedy]

Good evening all! 

I am trying my hand at modding after being inspired by all the fantastic modders out there in the community. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be playing my history challenge (or building or cc-shopping or just existing) and think, this would make a great mod: For example,  I wondered if there was a way that I could tweak the pregnancy system to allow a “cooldown” for 2-3 sim days after sims give birth to echo more realistic pregnancy experiences. Does it exist already? Possibly! But there is SO much out there and the history challenge is heavily story based - which means things can get really specific! Another example: a bedrest function for expecting or chronically ill sims. Again, it may already exist and it also may be so niche and (pointless) that no one else cares but maybe, just maybe, it scratches your historic itch as well! 

Help me use this post as a running sticky note of helpful resources and if you’d be so kind, share in the comments a mod suggestion that you’d love to see enhance your historic gameplay, the “niche-ier” the better. 

Please reblog if you’re a historical simblr and let’s get nostalgic.

I’ll be working on beefing up my resources page in the meantime so I can give credit to all you amazing folks as well as make wishlists <3

Following on from the simple modesty of the 1300s, female hair in the 1400s became a lot more elaborate thanks to the addition of hair pieces, ribbon and other decorations. Braided styles evolved into very detailed and decorative concoctions. Styles also became more flowy and romantic, often with curls framing the face. CC links under the cut.

Antiquated Brindleton

An 1890s Decades Challenge Save File

This save has been almost a year in the making, but it's finally here! It includes a completely rebuilt Brindleton Bay inspired by historic New England towns and set in the 1890s. This save uses a light amount of historical cc and most of the packs.

Download and details under the cut:

SAVE DETAILS:

Includes:

Eight new residential lots

Seven new community lots

Six new households

Builds and households are all located in Brindleton Bay. The world is intended to be historically accurate to about 1890, though some liberties for functionality have been taken.

Builds in other worlds have been deleted. The necessary buildings, like dorms, active career lots, and the high school, have all been left in place.

Townies have been evicted, but not deleted, as I prefer EA townies to fully randomized townies.

If you’d like more period appropriate townies to add, the lovely @jewishsimming has some great historical ones to download and @cowplant-snacks has an amazing tutorial on how to manage your townies with MCCC.

REQUIREMENTS: I have all the packs except Batuu and some of the kits. I didn’t limit myself when building. I don’t have everything listed out here, but I will be uploading all the lots and households to my gallery, so if you’d like to know specific pack usage you’ll be able to check there. If you load in and things are replaced or missing and you think it looks obvious feel free to message me, I’m always happy to try to help you find something else that fits! This save includes historical CC, some is included in my download in folders and some you will need to download from the creators directly. The CC required is listed and linked below, you need to download these linked pieces in ADDITION to the included cc folders.

1930s Loookbook

After the roaring 20s, fashion became more conservative in the 1930s, with hair and hemlines getting longer again. The era was defined by the great depression, after the stock market crashed in 1929, and lasted through almost the whole decade. Many families during this time began making dresses from flour sacks, and so companies began printing textiles on the sacks for extra reusability. Despite the decade's widespread poverty, fashion themes of femininity and elegance prevailed, inspired by Hollywood stars like Joan Crawford.

Check out my other lookbooks: 2010s, 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, 1960s, 1950s, 1940s

Look 1: hat, hair, coat, tights, shoes Look 2: hat, suit, shoes Look 3: hat, hair, coat, gloves (bg), tights, shoes Look 4: hair, necklace, dress, shoes Look 5: hair, earrings, dress, tights, shoes Look 6: hair, necklace (bg), dress Look 7: hair, glasses (bg), outfit, shoes Look 8: hair, dress, tights, shoes Look 9: hair (bg), top, pants, shoes Look 10: hat, hair, earrings (bg), necklace (cottage living), dress, gloves (bg), tights, shoes Look 11: hair, earrings (bg), outfit, tights, shoes Look 12: hair, outfit, socks (bg), shoes

A letter to Matthew Dailey from his daughter Agnes, 189x

Dearest Papa,

We are here!

We arrived in Chestnut Ridge late this morning after a near two days of travel, bursting with both relief and anticipation. Until now the idea of being here seemed a mere fantasy, but now that we have actually made it, I am now reminded of just how real and wonderful it all really is. We are both exhausted from our journey but nevertheless overjoyed to finally be here after so much dreaming and planning, it scarcely feels feel to either of us even now.

The farm, our farm...what can I say about it? Its ours, and that’s the most important thing. This one in particular was being sold off for quite cheap after its previous owners passed on, and although I do not wish to be rude, it isn’t difficult to see why the bank was so eager to hand it over to us. It is quite an old building and in need of several serious repairs, I fear that one strong gust of wind would be enough to knock it apart.

Will seems optimistic that we’ll be able to make it work, in spite of the obvious problems. He did have to take out a small loan to pay for it, but he’s confident that we’ll be able to pay it back after our first good harvest. If all goes well, that is, which I trust that it will. We’ve come too far for it not to.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Agnes Barclay

P.S. Do let Aunt Winifred know I miss her dearly, and I plan to write to her as well just as soon as I get the chance.

MEET MY FOUNDERS!

MEET MY FOUNDERS!

Charlotte Louisa Hastings

Charlotte Hastings' family had once been very wealthy. She was born into an aristocratic family, where luxury and comfort were faithful companions from the earliest moments of life. As the daughter of a renowned merchant, her childhood was marked by luxurious travels, refined education, and every whim that money could provide. She was happy, and her family was happy.

However, one day, fate dealt her a tragic turn. The premature death of her father, a victim of cruel tuberculosis contracted during a business trip in a harsh winter, left the family in ruins, and all their fortune was lost. Deprived of a dowry and the resources necessary to attract a suitable suitor within aristocratic circles, Charlotte's mother made a decision: she arranged a marriage for her daughter with a young farmer from the countryside. It was a pragmatic agreement, made in the hope of ensuring her daughter a stable and secure life.

Charlotte found herself with no choices, left only to accept the proposal, not by her own choice, but out of obligation to her family. Charlotte's heart and feelings still belonged to an old childhood friend, a boy she met on one of her trips to the countryside, but so many years had passed that she barely remembered his face…

Philip Ernest Harrington

Philip Harrington was born and raised in the depths of a modest farm in Henford. He came into the world in a family of simple and modest farmers, whose livelihood depended on what they planted and harvested; his life revolved around the seasons and the harvests. Despite being considered a kind and amiable man, Philip lived a solitary existence; he rarely ventured beyond the boundaries of the farm, preferring the silent company of the fields to the bustle of the city. He was a romantic and family-oriented man, longing to marry to fill the lonely farm with the sound of love and laughter of a wife and children, but he was extremely insecure, believing he didn't possess many qualities to court a woman, and his heart still yearned for an old childhood friend, a girl from a very wealthy family who visited the outskirts of the farm in his youth; whom he knew he had no chance with, besides, there were no eligible young women in town. Until one day, an unexpected marriage proposal arrived in his hands…

[thesimline]

The 1400s gave way to the incredibly iconic accessories of the 1500s, namely hoods (both Gabled and French) and ruffs. While the end of the Tudor era saw the popularity of headdresses decline in favour of uncovered hair decorated with jewels, diadems, and feathers, prior to that headdresses were a vital part of court dress. In fact, the style of hood worn was often used as a political statement amongst the nobility. Hats had always been in fashion for men, but the 16th century saw them also become a fashion staple for women. CC links and reference images under the cut.
