A little message for mostly YouTube builders but y’all in general, I hope I’m not being too rough but..

I know it’s been just a couple of days but guys what you mean when you say you were expecting more “Mexican” style furniture in the new ep? 😭😭 y’all don’t expect us to have art deco or modern stuff? Like seriously, what do you guys want 😂 We all Mexican simmers think this new pack is very accurate, you can even ask the simmers that worked in the official builds 🤷🏻‍♀️

Y’all really falling over the Americanized cliché of Mexico fr, this pack is inspired in Mexico City. We are a city, the population is like 24million, we’re a really big city 💀 please leave your “villas” and “haciendas” to oasis springs or sol del valey.

Please I beg you to not come and say “oh this is not giving Mexico” cause clearly you don’t know what are you talking about, be educated fr. I said it before and I’m gonna keep talking about it; But the architectural limitations in Mexico are pretty much non-existent. We probably have every single architectural style you can think about. Modern, post-modern, brutalist, art deco, mid century, colonial, Romanesque, gothic among others, probably even Tudor 😭 so you coming and expecting us to only have the villas or colorful haciendas fiesta salsa talcos it really hurts me as Mexican 😂

I’m not hating against them, I love them and as I said we have all types of places so keep doing them if you want but that’s not really common in Mexico City. So why y’all keep going with the same villas or just straight boxes builds 😭 please do more research over than using only Pinterest please, is really not that hard 🙏🏻 there’s a lot of fellow Mexican simmers, there’s google, google maps, you can even do a research of Mexico City in airbnb 😭😭 likeeee there’s a ton of ways to get information really…. You can really step up your building game if you only do a proper research. As I’ve seen a lot of you do for other worlds, why not taking the time for Mexico? Why y’all don’t respect us as much as other cultures?:(

And I know and I understand y’all probably won’t be 100% accurate if you’re not Mexicans but that doesn’t mean you can build a Los Angeles Spanish style of home and get away with it by saying “sorry if is not that accurate” 😭 cause you’re not even trying :( Mind you I been working on a uk inspired save when I never been outside my country other than some places in Canada and Florida and I’m still doing very realistic builds just by doing some research. And I’m 100% sure almost every other realistic builder is in the same situation.

Y’all are amazing and you’re so creative, I love that about the community and I know y’all can do wonderful things if doing a really small but proper research!

And next time you wanna talk about if something is giving or not Mexican at least be educated before talking about something you don’t know, it’s honestly very disrespectful. Y’all are better than that and please don’t take this as an offense, this is more like constructive criticism. I know y’all not doing this on purpose, this is just based on ignorance which is nothing bad, you can always learn something new!🥺 please do better!!

Wollaton Hall, Nottingham

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Wollaton Hall. This is the 7th building for my English Manors Collection, and I will add many more!

House History: Wollaton Hall was built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby and is believed to be designed by the Elizabethan architect, Robert Smythson, who had by then completed Longleat, and was to go on to design Hardwick Hall. The general plan of Wollaton is comparable to these, and was widely adopted for other houses, but the exuberant decoration of Wollaton is distinctive, and it is possible that Willoughby played some part in creating it. The style is an advanced Elizabethan with early Jacobean elements.

Wollaton is a classic prodigy house, "the architectural sensation of its age", though its builder was not a leading courtier and its construction stretched the resources he mainly obtained from coalmining; the original family home was at the bottom of the hill. Though much re-modelled inside, the "startlingly bold" exterior remains largely intact.

The house was unused for about four decades before 1687, following a fire in 1642, and then re-occupied and given the first of several campaigns of re-modelling of the interiors.

The hall remains essentially in its original Elizabethan state, with a "fake hammerbeam" wood ceiling of the 1580s, in fact supported by horizontal beams above, but given large and un-needed hammerbeams for decoration.

In 1881, the house was still owned by the head of the Willoughby family, Digby Willoughby, 9th Baron Middleton, but by then it was "too near the smoke and busy activity of a large manufacturing town... now only removed from the borough by a narrow slip of country", so that the previous head of the family, Henry Willoughby, 8th Baron Middleton, had begun to let the house to tenants and in 1881 it was vacant.

The hall was bought by Nottingham Council in 1925. Estate and personal papers of the Willoughby family were used to create the Middleton collection at the department of Manuscripts and Special Collections, The University of Nottingham. They include the Wollaton Antiphonal and the single manuscript holding the 13th-century post-Arthurian romance Le Roman de Silence.

Nottingham Council opened the hall as a museum in 1926. In 2005 it was closed for a two-year refurbishment and re-opened in April 2007.

"RUGGED GUS" SPOTTED IN TARTOSA. FUTURE CONSORT HAS SOLD HIS BUSINESS, AND IS REPORTEDLY "ADJUSTING WELL" TO MASSIVE LIFESTYLE SHIFT (WHICH INCLUDES A NEW ROYAL BODYGUARD).

If you all thought that Rugged Gus - with his casual jeans, shirts, and jackets - has officially been put to rest following the engagement announcement, well it looks like you're wrong.

Gus, a.k.a. the future husband of Crown Princess Anya, was spotted looking very much like his pre-engagement self, and reverting back to his old style. The royal fiancé was photographed leaving his sister's flat in Tartosa.

Reports claim that the man of the hour has officially moved to Brindleton earlier this month, and will most likely only fly back to Tartosa to visit his family and settle some "loose ends." One insider claims that things are starting to sink in, and he's come to realise what he has to give up to marry Anya:

"Everyone's talking about Anya, but really, Gus has had to give up quite a lot. He's had to shed his citizenships, relocate to a new country, and even be baptised into a new religion. And since he's decided to marry a future Queen, meaning he'll be Prince consort one day, that means he also had to give up his career and his business, which he built from the ground up. That's not an easy feat, to let go of a life, a lifestyle to which you've grown accustomed. But he's doing it all for Anya."

Gus established Aslan Builders, a construction company specialising in high-end builds and restorations. However, due to his new status as Anya's fiancé, he had to sell his shares and let go of the company altogether. This is because members of the Royal Family are not allowed to engage in private businesses. There were earlier murmurs that Gus would not be given any royal titles and would not receive Brindleton citizenship so he would be allowed to continue with his company, however, this was nipped in the bud by no other than The Queen herself. One palace source claims:

"Basically, Her Majesty thought that it might, one day, be possible for certain countesses, duchesses, or princesses, but since Anya is 'no lowly princess,' it would not be possible at all for her husband and future consort to be a foreign businessman without any royal titles. And everyone sort of agreed. It's unheard of. It's just not done."

Good news, for Gus, however, is that he gets to keep his many, many properties and investments. He even added another one: a luxury flat located three blocks away from Anya's home in the city.

Despite the sudden changes in his life, Gus is said to be taking it all in stride:

"Considering everything, he's doing great. He's adjusting well to his new life. He's thought this through and he knows what the endgame is - a life with Anya. So I suppose now, he's taking it all in, learning, coping, because really he knows that Anya is a package deal. You get her, The Royals, and the whole of Brindleton."

"If there's something he does struggle with, it's being given his own protection officer. But he gets that it's again part of the protocol. It's just amusing to see Gus, big, gigantic, and hulking Gus, being followed around by a bloke in a suit. But he respects that his security is just doing his job, and it's for everyone's safety."

"He also finds it a little irritating that his sisters and his mum, and some of his friends are now being hounded by the press. Things have gotten a little out of hand that he had to pay for his family's security. He even got his mum a chauffeur."

The coming months will very busy for the future royal. Word on the street is his "royal training" is underway, and we'll be seeing him join the royals on his first official engagement sometime soon.

We're rooting for you, Gus!

SB x Animal Crossing Headcanons

Freddy

His island theme would either space themed or have a woodsy feel. Maybe he would have one half of the island start off as woodsy, and then further into it it becomes space. His villagers are definitely bears and cubs, maybe one bunny villager as a homage to Bonnie (he's definitely got a high friendship with said bunny villager). He's definitely a good island representative, making sure he takes care of his island and is always building something. His island is before his own needs, so his house would probably only be up to the 2nd upgrade. He's willing to help out other players by giving them NMTs and bells, since he seems to be rich in that aspect. He doesn't change out any of his villagers, and he gets sad whenever one of them wants to move...

His island is 5 stars.

His villagers: Beardo, Ike, Megan, Charlise, Grizzly, Stitches, Maple, Poncho, Bluebear, and Sasha.

Chica

Her island is bright colored, mostly pastel pink, everything is cutesy and food related too. She definitely has little shops and decorations meant to represent food stands. She's just enjoys collecting pink items and coming up with new build ideas for the island. She definitely has perfect fruit as well. She's got the full DIY cook book completed, having an overabundance of recipes which she gives to players and friends for free whenever they visit. She's also great at happy home design. She's a master at the stalk market... she's got the best prices. She's a 4 star island.

Most of her villagers are birds and bunnies...

Her villagers:

Ruby, Coco, Dotty, Piper, Jay, Midge, Quinn, Phil, Phoebe, Cranston

Roxy

Her island is car themed, with a big makeshift salon she created. She has a lot of clothes and hair styles, it's a fashion show every week. She has a lot of wands too. Her storage is running out of space because of how much shit she has...

She forces her villagers to stay, she likes them a lot. She dresses them up, even Barold. She's got a good friendship with Viviane, that's her girl. She's not rich like Freddy or Chica, but she's just having a good time hanging around her villagers and collecting clothing items.

Her villagers:

Audie, Fang, Skye, Viviane, Ankha, Bonbon, Barold, Judy, Amelia

Monty

His island is country swamp theme, one side is country the other swamp. He's not a good builder but he's trying, he's got a few furniture items he's using the build with. Freddy's always giving him stuff, as much as he doesn't want it. A lot of unread mail...

Bros chilling with his flimsy tools.

He's not focused too much on the island, but he likes island hopping and collecting resources, mostly visiting his friend's islands to hang out. He prefers fishing and filling out his critter encyclopedia, and filling the museum. He doesn't really play that much but when he does he chills out with his villagers and fishes. His favorite villager is Dobie. He's rocking at 2 stars, but he's in no rush to get 5 stars.

His villagers:

Apollo, Kabuki, Boots, Leonardo, Drake, Rosewell, Genji, Sparro, Curt, Dobie.

Bonnie

His island is 80s bowling themed with some space elements (...coughs). Any leftover or duplicate items Freddy had he'd nab to put on his own island, most of which were space themed. He likes island hopping most for resources and to increase profits. He's got four stars, he's trying to reach 5 stars so he can brag to Roxy (she's at 3 stars). Most of his villagers are bunnies, a few cubs, and a bear. Of course, he's gonna have the highest friendship with the bear villager because it reminds him of Freddy. He's definitely using his secluded beach as a little hangout spot for him and Freddy when he visits his island.

His villagers:

Claude, Snake, Tiffany, Francine, Chrissy, Kody, Pekoe, Pudge, Vladimir, Teddy

Gifts Part 2! Uploading Old/Unavailable TS2 Exchange Items: Lots by tkelley0000

Disclaimer: These lots were originally uploaded to the now-defunct Exchange back in 2004 or 2005 by an inactive creator. I do not claim them as my own, rather I am uploading them in their original state to preserve them.

Been a while since I’ve uploaded some lost TS2 Exchange lots, hasn’t it? Well, a 200 follower celebration is a chance to do just that! So here are the only two lots I have from a builder named tkelley0000 who specialized in ranch-style homes. (Note: I’ve used LotCleaner and Clean Pack Installer to remove any unwanted items). 

Country Retreat by tkelley0000 (5x5 lot, $128,000)

First up is pretty much as perfect an example of “traditional architecture” as you could get with the Base Game. Everything is well balanced. The floorplan is large but not unwieldy, the second floor is perfectly tucked into the roof, and the whole thing is built on grade, with a walkout basement leading to a pool and hot tub area. Because this is built on a 5x5 lot, there are a ton of trees, which make it feel like the property is enclosed by a forest. Hire a gardener, or download a falling leaves mod. And although the garage is only 4-tiles wide, you can actually fit a driveway between the home and the road. Make it invisible, delete a shrub or two, and you are in business. This 2004 lot deserves to be played 19 years later. 

Happy Endings by tkelley0000

Next is Happy Endings, another ranch home, this time fully furnished and made with University. It is pretty big floorplan for a two bedroom home, but all the rooms are spacious and you can easily add in objects from the rest of the EPs and SPs. Made when only one EP was released, its interior could be described as a mix-n-match style, which was necessary as the number of objects to choose from was much more limited in 2005. The builder wasn’t concerned with matching every exact tone, and I think this works in the lot’s favor. My favorite feature is the large, long deck that leads to another pool and hot tub space and uses the gothic Uni table set. I’ve had this lot in my saves since it was first uploaded it, but I never moved a family into it. Might be time to change that. (And yes, the stained shingles from my 3t2 Quaint Cottage come from this lot)

I hope you enjoy these “Lost and Found” uploads. Even if you don’t download them, let me know if you remember them or have any other lots by the creator! Tagging @sims2packrat​​ for awareness!

Your British CC and builds are just giving me life rn. I'm trying to get motivated to make my own "English" save based on where I live which is a mix of old country homes and then the stereotypical 60s/70s style council properties mixed in with posh new builds lol. It's a rural town and I really want to try and capture the vibe but I am not a talented builder (Relying on your builds as well as a few others like JessicapieYT and Devon Bumpkin but I really want to improve my building skills and include more of my own builds) and I want to include "British" decor to make it feel properly like home but I am a beginner when it comes to CC. However, your posts are really inspiring me to improve my building skills and learn how to create deco cc. All that ramble to say thank you for making TS4 feel like home and inspiring me to keep on working at my save. (sorry if all that is a bit long winded, adhd brain lol)

thank you for this lovely ask, i'm so happy to know that my british builds are inspiring you. and making it feel like home!! what a huge compliment.

for a long time i didn't play with sims i categorised as being from where i was - they were just kind of broadly american, like most of the franchise. it wasn't until the last three years that my gameplay started to change into something recognisably closer to home and like you i found there weren't many builds to reflect that. jessica pie and devon bumpkin also inspired me, as did simkitty92, and others on the gallery who've posted builds with that particular flavour of slightly rundown british urban/suburban architecture (but beautiful to me!! 😤).

hopefully i'll have time this week to finish some of my CC wips. good luck in your building and CC journey ✨

Advertising Exclusion

Thanks to the diligent work of Mapping Prejudice and other local organizations, much light has been shed on the legacy of racial covenants included in housing deeds in Hennepin County. Racial covenants are clauses that were inserted into property deeds to prevent people who were not White from buying or occupying land. The Thorpe Brothers, prolific local housing developers, are infamous for including racial covenants in their developments. The covenants and restrictions in these developments were actually used as a selling point by the Thorpe Brothers in their advertisements. The images here are from Thorpe Brothers ads that were recently added to our Minneapolis and Hennepin County Subject Vertical Files. These brochures advertise the County Club District being constructed in Edina in 1924.

The County Club District, located just west of Minneapolis in suburban Edina, was marketed as an exclusive enclave. The brochures tout the restrictions on minimum home construction cost ($5,000 on some streets, higher on others), restrictions on the styles of houses that could be built, restrictions on fumes, restrictions on trash can placement, and prohibition of multi-family housing.

The brochures do not specifically mention the racial covenants that were added to each lot in the County Club District. For everyone reading between the lines, however, the section on restrictions ends like this: "There are numerous other restrictions which, when studied, will be found agreeable to each person who is buying a homesite. The restrictions are made for the protection of the Home Builder, and in no case can a substantial objection be raised." Many current homeowners, as well as the city of Edina, are raising substantial objections to the harmful legacy of racial covenants in the Country Club District, and many homeowners have renounced the restrictive racial covenants on their properties.
