#sims 2 medieval charter challenge

[mystical-evergreen]

Spring in the seaside province of Hadria was gorgeous. Julietta intended to soak up as much of the sun as she could. The young girl would often rouse the dogs to come into the front gardens with her. Najya and her brood were shaping up to be a fine pack of hounds, as in between lessons Julietta spent her time training them.

New NPC unlocked! Breena Treewind is a wood nymph who resides in the pine forest in the eastern mountain range in Lindenwood. She is a Pleasure aspiration, a Capricorn, and her traits are Cat Person, Clumsy, Vegetarian, Party Animal, Green Thumb, and Fairy.

Breena has a jaguar named Lilith who helps to protect her from unwanted visitors.

Those who befriend Breena will be able to visit her fairy fountain once per season to get rare and valuable items that they would not normally have access to. Breena will only show up on community lots.

The Fairy NPC isn't in the official rules of the MCC, but ever since I saw that Letsplaywithfir3 did this in her Medieval Charter Challenge on YouTube, I always add a fairy to my MCC now 😄

Back to my sort-of Medieval Charter Challenge, and here we have the peasant Feathers family, single father Brent and his daughter Jemima.

They're poulterers and have some chickens and ducks.

Brent's immediate thoughts turned to matrimony, as his toddler really needed a mother figure. Theodosia Day from the Almshouse showed a lot of interest in little Jemima. However it is single peasant mother Rosemary Wilde who has grabbed Brent's attention.

A sudden freak lightning bolt did nothing but cause a greater spark between them!

And so, to make an honest woman of her, and because their foraging business is very successful, Brent and Jemima moved into the Wilde household and took Rosemary's name.

Now that's one busy 2-room hovel! Next time we'll meet the peasant Farmer family.

Today we are visiting the other single mom's household, but this one should be easier in that there is only one kid and no pregnancy. But also no extra maternity income, so Shime Yu will have to open her fishmonger's. This is also the last chance to fish before winter, unless I decide to give her the Sun&Moon ice fishing. Unfortunately, the pond froze when it was still fall, so Shime didn't get to fish much.

She got lucky with the ROS at least - she just needed to throw a party. I rolled to see which party it should be and it turned out to be a 'baptism', so a birthday party for her baby was the perfect choice. I don't think baptism would be accurate for this region, but the Yu family is very close to water, so performing some water ritual would make sense for them.

Having her monk-husband over was probably a very awkward encounter for her. But maybe the father wanted to make sure their baby is of the same belief. Shime is n o t having her kid taken to the monastery, though.

This ROS was actually perfect for her, because Shime had been wishing to have a party for some time... I find it very interesting she started out with this want, even though she is not a Popularity sim (and she's also extra shy). The same thing happened with Fumi Tian, a Family sim (but at least that sim is outgoing).

~*~

Sangen is a Gemini and he's quite different from both of his parents. He's max Outgoing, as opposed to his max Shy parents. He's 3 Grouchy, while his parents are 7/8 Nice. But he's also max Active, and his parents are 7/8 Active, too. He's 6 playful (his mom is 8 Playful). And he's 6 Neat (his dad is 9 Neat).

Because of the birthday cake age up, Sangen started off with one less day as a toddler, so I later gave him this day back and he managed to learn all his toddler skills and he was taught how to sing the Nursery Rhyme. He will become a child at the very beginning of the next round, just like Yong Siew. ~*~

Shime bought 2 more daisy bouquets and 2 wildflower bouquets... I sold the daisies, because she doesn't need 4 of the same flower pot in this house.

She opened her store on one day this round and she managed to get her store to rank 1. She also got the Bronze Sales badge. She earned 916$.

500$ - rent

366$ - tax

92$ - tithe

She needs to pay 958$ + 886$ for the last round. I rounded it down for her to 1800$.

The Wizard's Tower, Round 1 Part 3

Sana runs into Lady Matilde, mother of the earl -- the very same who imprisoned her lover. Some insults are exchanged and a fight almost breaks out. Luckily, it's after dark, and no guards are around for Matilde to call upon.

Sana's anger towards the earl does not look good, either -- as the niece of the official mage of the royal court, she'd be wise to keep her relationships with nobility neutral at the very least. The anger may only serve to cloud her magical training, too.

Philippe comes by in the morning, presumably to ask for Itzel's blessing! Ahhh this is so exciting, my first in game romance in the medieval hood, coming to fruition :)

Sana is happy to see him when she comes home from a house call...

Claude, the adopted baby, ages up to a toddler! Itzel is thrilled.

(Listen, I know I am insane and I flip through hoods like I'm poppin' pez but I have a terrible attention span okay.)

~The Future~

Only two currently have "end" dates that are kind of close. For Challenges assume they end at the end of the challenge which is based entirely on how much I play it.

-Where is my CC Challenge - will be retired upon completion, I just wanted to finish the rules. All sims have previously been uploaded so they're available to download.

-Oregon Trail - will have seasons, will stop running wagon trails once the rules are refined and it'll be a Victorian/Edwardian/Steampunk fantasy of a hood. Probably tumblr-only.

I plan on a tumblr-only hood for my Disney sims for fun called Fairytalia for now. Might just be posed pictures and short stories idk.

BACC in ~s p A c E~ - limited CC file, altered rules, not sure when I'll start it. Leaning towards this being a twitch series, but maybe youtube.

I'm still going to post pictures for everything on tumblr because I can, but I wanted to write down everything I'm working on currently as a reminder. I will be adding to my pinned post the specific tags to follow specific series :)

Mini May update

I’m gonna start going back to 1 post each day , just to fill up the queue again. 

I will put the fae court on hiatus until June , I haven’t had much time nor interest in writing dialogue. 

Doing some prep work for the the sims 3 medieval charter challenge , finished with all the sims except the royal steward , started building today. 2 out of 7 main household builds are done, then its the almhouse , barracks and where the steward might live. Don’t feel like building him a castle , so he will have to do with a tower.

My own Challenge

So I had an idea for a challenge and I think I can make it work for Sims 4.

I enjoy playing Sims 2 Medieval Charter Challenge and I liked the Sims 3 Banished Challenge.

With all the different mods I feel it can work for Sims 4.

It will be a mix of both.  I will have 2 different version for the  challenge.

Banished

Legacy Rotation ( I will show this version on my YouTube channel and Discord)

You will start out with your founding couple who will start out as peasants.  As the household changes class you will add a new peasant family.

Lot will be empty and you will have to collect what is needed to build houses and other building.

You will end up play 5 families one per class.

Kingdom of the Banished

BACC version (will be posted here)

You start off with a founding lot which is empty and the sims will need to scavenge for supplies.

This is still a work in progress and I will figure out everything while I play.  I will slowly create rules and what is needed for everything.

So, I’ve been having a Problem of continually switching to new Sims 2 games. Which is fine, except I keep failing to come back to the ones I’ve already started. Part of it is frustration over certain CC collections causing constant crashes, part of it is limited time causing me to lose momentum on what I was thinking about at work, part of it is probably just ADHD.

So what I’m gonna do right now is list all the games/hoods I have started and feel are in progress (as opposed to ones I am never going back to), plus ones I am planning. This is mainly for sorting out my thoughts and focus, but it’s fine if anybody else wants to look or ask me questions.

Modern Downloads Folder

1. Megahood Classic. This is an Ubermegahood I started around 2020, called a Megahood out of habit. For a while this folder had an older set of mods, not including things like traits and supernatural lifestates, but currently the only thing that distinguishes it is a lack of Proportionate Aging. It’s… slightly far along, for a megahood—most of the premade elders are dead and most of the premade teens are graduating college. It slowed down a bit because I had the aging mod installed for a while before deciding to remove it. And I had no plans to use new supernatural lifestates or traits in this megahood.

2. The Orphanarium. This is multiple instances of the Orphan Challenge played in the same hood, using deaged versions of characters from many of my favorite media, such as FF7 and Stargate. This is a type of hood I have played many times over the years, but this particular version I was just starting to set up.

Disney Downloads Folder

1. Lake Buena Vista, the Disney-themed BaCC featuring social class rules, guilds, and True Love. This is the project I made the downloads folder for, hence the name. Currently, the collection of downloads is virtually identical to the Modern collection, except this one uses Proportionate Aging.

2. Modern Ubermegahood. A freshly started Ubermegahood, featuring traits, proportionate aging with a calendar system, new LTWs, and hereditary supernaturalism. I’ve made a few posts about this; rest assured I got far enough ahead that it feels awkward to go back and make more. Plus I started forgetting to screenshot and write notes.

Medieval Downloads Folder

1. The Megakingdom of Simland. Exactly as it sounds, it’s an Ubermegahood rethemed to be medieval, played as a mega-Medieval Charter Challenge. I talk about it all the time. It’s been stalled for over a year, I think, because I installed CC incautiously and cannot pinpoint the problem CC to save my life. (Or, more accurately, I find a problem CC, remove it, and then the game crashes again and points to another one down the list. In theory the DDO, Clean Installer, and SimPE should help, but there’s always another bad CC file forcing me to 50/50. I have about 2500 files left to check and I hate how long it takes).

2. If the CC is ever resolved, I may make Grimwood Abbey, a sort of small/compressed start to an MCC forcing the sims to earn their social classes.

3. Algary, a standard MCC I started setting up long before all this was a problem. Of note is that the Squire family rolled all teens and children, no adults, and one peasant family includes elder lesbians.

Decades Downloads Folder

1. Arcadia, the hood I set up the folder for. It’s a rather ambitious plan for some sort of through-time BaCC starting in the 18th century, featuring a native population and manual religions. With Proportionate Aging, the idea is to advance a year for each aging year (4 days), or five years for each seasonal year, and progress through different eras at the correct time. There are five couples, the Shepherds, the Partidges, the Farmers, the Coles, and the Threepwoods.

2. Tortuga, the Pirate Shipwreck BaCC I posted about a couple months ago. I may need to duplicate the downloads folder and make a dedicated 18th/Pirate folder.

3. Port Royale, a Colonial BaCC I set up when I first got the downloads collection up. No plan, just four rolled families. Governor Thomas Marlowe is about all I can remember, with his elderly mother and two teen daughters. I think I have a family named Cunningham, and I might have a Cole family or… maybe an Underhill family. I’ll have to check again. I am thinking about renaming the hood to be less piratey, and using it as a simple BaCC through time starting in the 18th century, but without the complexities of manual religion or an entire native community.

4. Silver Hollow, a hood I started tonight because I wanted to start an 18th century BaCC and instead I just made one guy and started a colonial Legacy challenge, only for the game to severely hang up the first time he returned from a community lot. I did manage to make a great Woods community lot that I am packaging for my own use in any hood using the full Sun&Moon collection.

5. …and I also wanted to start a new Colonial BaCC featuring a slightly goofy Jebediah Springfield-like Founder, named Pendergast, and four families named Archer, Gardner, Parrish, and Thompson. Really, I should just merge this concept with the other one I started a while back.

Ancient Downloads Folder

1. Living History, a modified Test of Time Challenge to appeal to my history major/anthropology minor ways. The Neanderthal era is getting fully revamped to three stages of hunter/gatherer, tribal, and chiefdom; sims gain social status based on popularity and influence, not money, at least to start; and eras change based on achieving certain goals, not generations (at least not JUST generations; I’m trying to make it work with Proportionate Aging here)

Really, it’s not a ridiculous number of hoods here, it just frustrates me that aside from Ubermegahoods I struggle to get them off the ground and constantly start new ones instead of getting invested in the ones I already have. Honestly, it’s probably building everything from scratch that throws me and slows me down, which would be why I tend to prefer the premade hoods. I’d just download starter lots if I wasn’t always going for very specific themes, and also if installing downloaded lots wasn’t what broke my Megakingdom.

I wish I had more time.

Look! Wilmer is interacting with his son! I find it funny Wilmer is friends with his children that have not lived in the house all season and is not even close with the ones that do.

This also is a good point to talk about the Orne sons versus the Brahe sons. Unless they get married, all of Elena's children are illegitimate and can not inherit a cent from Wilmer. Oskar and Isak are in a toss up for who will take over for Wilmer, but either way they are his heirs even if they don't live with him. So, once Wilmer dies the entire Brahe Brood along with their mother are at the mercy of Isak and Oskar.

Lindenwood MCC: Spring Year 1 - Epilogue #3

After Abbess Greenwood disappeared into the blue light, she felt as though she was being catapulted through darkness.

Finally, she faceplanted onto a dirt road and stumbled to her feet. It was eerily quiet.

Where am I?

Today in the Medieval Charter Challenge, we have the peasant Farmer family! Mother and father Pepper and Giles, with children Julienne, Spud and Edward.

Julienne is so cute and one of my favourite sims. She's really great with her younger siblings, and has taken a liking to Birch Wilde.

Family life...

Not the beeeeees!

Everybody loves Edward!!

I'm patiently waiting for all their crops to grow, as aside from selling a few apples we're not making much money currently...
