[macthekat82]

I am playing with a few roman families. I am doing an Roman empire save right now. It is quite fun and some of the new functionality.

These pictures are from two of my current households. One is operating a farm with a bakery and one household has the husband who is a law clerk

I am not exactly doing a specific challenge, but I am trying to keep it history inspired.

And CC recommendations are very welcome - including interesting mods!

I was able to buy and download it today from Denmark via the link :)

New book! Coming Friday the 25th! You can pre-order the ebook online starting…well, as soon as it gets approved on the various sites, or get either ebook or hardcopy directly via Argyll Productions!

This is not a horror novel, it’s a middle-grade fantasy, in the same vein as Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, although shorter and I think lighter, so if you just need something fluffy and cozy to unwind with that will not force you to grapple with trauma or cause you to develop any new phobias, I think this one’s safe! Probably!

(…I’m such a lousy judge of these things…)

Thank you so much - these are really great!

I just restated my game, but I guess I am doing that again!

Body Hair Luumia V5+ Redux

I like that Finally we have Body hair in the game, like actual Body hair but the textures are somewhat... Awful, so i took the liberty to separate, recolor and re-clasify in the new categories my favorite body hair from @luumia. His textures are AMAZING. I dont know if Luumia will update his body hair and do all this work (It took me about 3 days to do all this) but if he updates it i will put it down if he asked me to it.  

So, there are 42 files merged in 4 categories:

10 Arm Hairs: 2 Armpits Only, 4 Straight hair textures, 4 curly hair textures 20 Chest Hairs: 11 Straight Hair textures, 9 Curly hairs textures 4 Back Hairs: 2 Straight Hair textures, 2 Curly Hair textures 8 Leg Hairs: 4 Straight hair textures, 4 Curly hair textures

All textures belongs to Luumia and once he updates (If he does) i'll delete this post.

A freaking amazing look at how the kitchens have changed over the years. Really wonderfully detailed images. I am so impressed

Architecture: Kitchens

An X-ray of the historical context. Part 1: 1800s-1957s

History helps us to understand our past and how we come to today. I am studying architecture, that’s why I see how the different historical contexts influence their architecture.

This is a kind of help to the people who play the History Challengue at the time of building their homes and giving more personality to their decades

I’m not trying to have absolute reason, if there’s any mistake, please let me know.

These room styles are not the only ones, but they are an example to help.

Going from one decade to another doesn't mean that the previous style disappears, there are familiar/historical contexts that could not afford to be at the forefront of technology.

Don't limit yourself. This is a game, if you don’t want to make it historically accurate ITS OKAY

In Victorian houses, the kitchen is a separate space from the rest of the house and with independent access, as it was a service space where servants, wives and daughters spent a great deal of time. They are even located in the basement, with minimal ventilation that followed the design of the facade and not the function of the interior.

A traditional Victorian kitchen are big, with a large work space in the center and a large kitchen range embedded in the wall.

Late XIX Century /Early XX Century

During the end of the Victorian era, new appliances emerged as the refrigerator and oven with a more modest dimension. They were still a place where you had to do several tasks at the same time and by hand, from washing, cooking, storing, ironing, chopping, grinding, etc.

The kitchen was not something standard as we know, the measurements or heights of the furniture changed between different homes, They were normally furniture that could be movedor that weren't attached to the walls except in the case of ovens.

They were generally poorly lit, covered in wood panels and with stone floors to prevent deterioration.

Edwardian Era

The kitchen begins to take a certain order inside a house, since although it is still considered for service and womens and therefore hid inside the house, it is a space where you spent a great time there, in addition the advances of the kitchen spaces take course towards the rationalization of the useful spaces.

Gas stoves and wood stovescome up in the Edwardian era, just like the running water system as we know it today, where you no longer had to pump water into the yard or pull it out of a well. Ceramic and stone floors remain a trend.

After the World War I

Problems never before seen begin to appear. The era of the servitude of the aristocratic house was about to end. Housing spaces are scarce, a method is needed to gather the minimum living spaces in a repetitive way for families with limited budgets.

Margarete SchUtte, an Austrian architect begins to see the problem of housing organization. She designs the Frankfurt kitchen model: a narrow kitchen, on one side was the stove, on the other there were cabinets with a sink and in front of the window there was a space to work.

The kitchen was a conscious design decision to minimize the number of steps needed when working on it. But users often had difficulties. Not used to the workflows for which the space was created, they often didn't know how to use the kitchen. And in the kitchen where there was only room for one person, she perpetuated the idea of women in housework, instead of emancipating them

Revolutionaries 20s

The Bauhaus was the school of architecture that marked the revolution in modern design since 1919. Erna Meyer was the first designer to incorporate ergonomic criteria for the design of the kitchen.

She advised housewives to keep everything at hand, reduce the amount of movements needed and take frequent breaks. In 1927, kitchens were still service areas and forbidden to guests.

The Stuttgart kitchen, communicated directly with the living room (A precursor of contemporary kitchens). The new designs may have improved life in the kitchen, but it would still be room for women unquestionably, even among the most progressive of the moment.

The Great Depression

In the 30s, not much was innovated largely because of social problems, this was delegated only to high society sectors or habitability experiments. It is on this date that other models were developed that tried to improve the permeability between the kitchen and the dining room, family reunion place.

The Munich kitchen , designed by the architect Hanna Löw, intended to reduce the isolation to the person was subjected from domestic chores by incorporating a large stained glass window; thus improving the visual contact between the kitchen and the living room.

Despite its progressivism, this design had less scope than the previous ones and was poorly valued despite presenting solutions very advanced to the time. But it is a design that could be impregnated for an avant-garde sim in their stories.

Minimal and communal compartmentalization

In the period between wars there are also questions about housing from a community perspective. Here studies on new models of residential buildings were initiated.

The transition to a busy society had to incorporate a change in the way of life with a renewal of the domestic space. In new thoughts the key is to eliminate uses that tie women to housing, such as cooking, childcare, toilets and showers. These uses became communal, as did the laundry or dining room.

This design of the Narkomfin Building have the minimum space for a dining room and incorporated small gas stoves to heat the food prepared in the collective kitchens, in case you want to keep privacy,

Word War II

During the 1940s, with the outbreak of the Second World War, the designs became inferior and on the periphery of Europe or in Scandinavian countries. The idea of a work organization in the form of a triangle (between oven, refrigerator and sink) was a trend.

The work surfaces went from being totally functionalist to a design with a certain humanization of the epsacium and not something so mechanical. Were evenly distributed to cook with the same oven or to prepare food, the windows to illuminate begin to be placed on the basins.

In the post-war period the future of integrated and compact kitchens, used to rebuild homes in Europe built with US appliances, began to be seen

lCold War and the Surburbian Housewife

In the 1950s, in a period of cold war, the return to normality was something one aspired to and that’s how one begins to romanticize and idealize the idea of a happy suburban housewife with a husband returning from work safe and sound. In the 1950s, integrated kitchens with modular and flexible arrangements were launched on the market.

The DIN standards allowed to improve the compositions of the furniture of the kitchen, where the washing machine, dryer, kitchen and refrigerator appear as something indispensable but also this generates that the kitchens are submitted to the concept of minimalist kitchen.

This is because the kitchen in the post-war period is governed by the rules of advertising and market, where the real needs were focused on smooth, uniform and depersonalized surfaces.

In an attempt for more diversity (and it was also a request ages ago) here is the first of hopefully more to come for impaired/challenged/disabled sims.

Notes: - Can use in combination with earrings - it uses a separate texture space! - But because of this, some shoe textures will overlap (not many that I found though) - There is just the left and right side, but you can have both on at the same time - You can’t have 2 different colours - Disabled for random. I wanted to enable it for random but some ear shapes just don’t work well - A bunch of different skin tones from pale to black, also some bright colours if your sim wants to show it off to the world!

Recolours encouraged, just don’t include the mesh! Tag me, I’d love to share your creations <3

[PimpMySims4] University Aspiration Pack

While playing around with Discover University I found myself a bit disappointed with the lack of new aspirations and traits that came with the EP. University students usually don’t focus solely on academics, so why should our sims? I decided to make a pack of 7 aspirations that utilize some of the new features that came with the pack, while also focusing on other aspects of a sim’s life.

1970′s Danish suburban home

I am building of series of retangular house shells to challenge my self not to let them stay boxes. For this one I used the typical danish suburban home as a base. Denmark’s suburbs are full of these. I have modernised it as it is typically done. This is just the shell though. I am planning to make a decorated version another day.

Tiny Minimalistic Starter

I will this small house on stream yesterday and it toke me way to long because I didn’t have a plan from the start. I did however really like how it turned out. It is fully playtested and everything works. It has a double bed, a desk with a computer, a full bathroom and a functioning kitchen. There is plenty of room outside as well. I hope your sims will enjoy it. It cost just under 19.000 § (or so depending of course on where you put it). It is on a very small lot.

Shipping container house - CC Free

This is a CC free build of a medium price range house build of of reclaimed shipping containers. It is sparsely decorated to keep the price point to a reasonable level. I build it it in the most beautiful location in the new hood, but I am sure it would work in any world. If you want to place it somewhere else, you might want to grab the empty version and decorate it your self. 

As a shell build it cost: 17.000 § Decorated it costs: 34.000 §

Grey traditional starter

Today on my twitch stream I build a number of four small houses to show of different roof types in one hour. One of them is this little danish inspired house. It is an empty shell with no landscaping or interior decorating done, so it is ready for your sims to move in and fill the house with your own furniture. The house is 6.500§ so it very much a starting house.
