History Challenge : Neolithic

Bherk, Mana’s half brother, had married someone from another horse tribe. Together they got a son, Hekwos. Bherk also made sure to keep training the dog, a puppy from his father’s dog.

Willow and Deer at the lake, had a daughter, Helhen.

But famine spread throughout the land, which made the little ones more vulnerable. Willow could not produce enough breast milk and Helhen passed away.

The famine was caused by heavy rainfall that destroyed most crops. And when the rain didn’t stop and the river started to rise , Mana got swallowed up by the water and passed away. Kai was now left with two young daughters. Kwn aged into a teen and Gwen into a child.

Kai taught them about how to take care of plants and the bees he had started taking care off. He also got the girls a small goat to keep them company.

Kwn got very sick during another famine, but Gwen pleaded to the Moon godess to save her. And she must have listened because Kwn recovered suickly afterwards.

At the horse tribe, Hekwos unfortunately did pass from the same sickness as Kwn. He was a teen.

He got a little sister, Lakshmi.

She is a sweet child.

Gwen turned into a teen. And she was quite rebellious! She constantly got into arguments with her father, to his utmost frustration.

She did have a good bond with her sister.

Then Gwen met Brodie while gathering herbs in the woods. He is actually the son of Mana’s adoptive brother Stewart.

The two teens were immediately in love.

Kai approved of the relationship. He knew the boy was of good family.

Kwn aged into a young adult and also fell in love. She had fallen for a woman named Blaire, and she moved in with them. She contributed tending to the crops. And trying to ease the tension between Gwen and Kai.

Thalia's Three Tunics

Kids love tunics in bright colors don't they? Practical and pretty!

Teanmoon's tunics are so easy to use, but I wanted some variety in color and patterns. I also like the tunic from For Rent, so our little girls should have plenty to choose from. Little boys have a few options too.

There are three tunics, but Teanmoon's tunic dress is in two files, one for plain colors and one for color combinations and patterns. Note that the patterns do stretch a little bit, and there are some shadows as you can see on the pink dress above.

You will need the mesh and/or packs for the recolors to show up in your game. 

These items are not necessarily historically correct, but they don't hurt my eyes in my Early Civ save. I think most of them would look good for medieval children as well. 

All colors are from my Efrosyni and Knossos palette and from Vintage Simstress' Southern Dyes palette. This means a lot of colors, but you can easily remove the ones you don't want using S4S.

A little late but fantasy for @gloomiegalaxie's femboy friday!

So here's Dion, the personal servant of the Prince Apollonios. There, he accompanies the prince’s dinner with a lyre song.

♫Music♫

♪ I long to sing the Thalionids; ♫ ♫ or my King's warlike exploits ; ♪ ♪ but the strings of my Lyre, ♫ ♫ of Love only resound. ♪

♪ I changed the strings just now; ♫ ♫ at last I took an other Lyre too; ♪ ♪ & then I tried to sing the praise ♫ ♫ of All-performing Teleiakles, ♪ ♪ But my Lyre does still my voice deny, ♫ ♫ And in the tones of love reply. ♪

♪ Ye heroes then, at once farewel: ♫ ♫ Loves only echo from my shell ♪

Inspired by Anacreon's Ode (c.570-485 BCE)

if there’s something I appreciate every sims game for its very much that they’re all extremely queer positive for the time they came out. some of the old ones seem a bit dated now, over a decade later, but they were genuinely ahead of the curve at the time. they had gay marriage well before it was fully legalised in america. hell they effectively had gay marriage in the sims 2 civil unions in that game are treated near identically to marriages just with some clunky terminology changes. and civil unions themselves were not fully legalised for gay couples in america at that time! the only place where gay marriage was actually legal was fucking massachusetts! it was not perfect but in 2004 it was Also ahead of the vast majority of the us!!! where the game was made!!!

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 68 (A House Fire with No Fire on Spooky Party Day?!)

While Heather and Conrad got ready for guests to arrive, Malcolm sent a few pictures of Ash dressed in his bunny costume. Going trick or treating in the building today, he reported. Heather smiled.

Glad you're all having fun, she wrote back. Civility with her son's father could be nice.

Focused on the party, Heather was determined to redeem herself after her botched attempt to throw a Spooky Day party back in high school. This time, she made sure to note it was a costume party, and all her guests confirmed they'd show up dressed accordingly!

Her youngest sister, Hazel, arrived early with her fiancee, Nicola. They were staying the night in the upstairs guestroom, excited for a short getaway on the coast before their upcoming wedding.

"The decorations look great!" Hazel gushed. "Spooky record player!"

"Does anyone smell fire?" Nicola sniffed the air. "I hate fire."

"I don't smell anything," said Conrad. The only thing he smelled was his spinach and cheese omelet.

They went about the afternoon and finished setting up for the party. Conrad left for a short walk with Gord, and the fire Nicola smelled finally materialized in the bedroom! Heather, Hazel, and Nicola ran toward the flame, screaming incoherently, until Heather finally grabbed an extinguisher and put out the blaze.

From the delayed fire, they suffered damage to a bathroom countertop, mirror, Heather and Conrad's bed, and a bedside table. A cluster of wall hangings also burned, but considering how long the flames had burned invisibly, they were grateful the damage hadn't been any worse!

(I assume the lack of a visible fire for so long was a glitch, but I'm also at a loss as to how it started. They lost a decor hairdryer in the blaze, but it doesn't even plug in. Sorry for walls down in the second shot when the fire finally showed up, but I was kinda flabbergasted!

The fire actually looks like it started in the bedroom - I thought bathroom at first, so we could blame the Scare Seeker lot trait which was on when the fire began! Also yes I bought a bassinet in anticipation before they lost the baby and it's just sitting there waiting. Didn't burn!)

They managed to replace the damaged furniture, clean up, and get changed into their costumes before guests arrived. Conrad had time to finish the spooky cookies, and Heather handed out candy to a few trick or treaters. One in particular made her smile.

"What planet are you from, Master Yoda?"

"Everyone knows Yoda's home planet has never been confirmed," scoffed the masked child. Impressed, Heather gave her extra candy.

Just like in high school, Heather painted herself blue to dress as a Twi'lek, determined this time to get at least one picture of herself for all the effort. She was all dressed up and prepping some last minute treats in the kitchen when Conrad the Sexy Mailman walked in.

"Say, there, sexy alien lady. Did you have any mail you need delivered?" He shook his hips in his tight bicycle shorts, and Heather nearly abandoned the stove to drag him to the bedroom.

"Don't tempt me. This blue paint will get everywhere."

Instead, they posed for a couple photos to send back to Malcolm.

Tell Ash we say hi. Happy Spooky Day!

Heather carved pumpkins as guests arrived, while Conrad challenged one of his coworkers to a game of chess. They'd invited all Heather's siblings, but Kris and Holly were busy with their newborn daughter, Tetra, and couldn't make it.

But Uncle Karl arrived in a gladiator suit with his husband Mortimer. "They send their love and asked us to bring home some spooky cookies and candy!"

Heather's high school friend, Dylan, arrived with her husband Gavin, and Heather greeted them with a smile. Gavin's rented spacesuit made for an awkward hug, and Dylan showed up in the same Twi'lek costume and blue body paint as Heather. "I'm so glad you could make it. And you got my text!"

"I don't know why you were afraid to wear such a revealing costume by yourself. You look great! But I have come all the way from the planet Ryloth to join you here on Simlandia for the evening's festivities. I look forward to observing human behaviour in such a strange environment."

Heather laughed. "How's life with two kids under four?"

"Way harder than life with just Pearl," said Gavin. "Whenever Darrell cries, she starts crying, too. Thank goodness her mom agreed to watch the kids tonight. If Dylan and I don't let our hair down a little, we might go insane."

"He's exaggerating...kinda. We love them, but we're happy to get out of the apartment for a while," said Dylan, sipping her Spooky Day-themed 'blood' cocktail.

River and Cass showed up with her mother Bella Goth, and Everett danced the night away with Spencer. Even Heather's parents, Daisy and Neal, stayed until late.

Taking a break from dancing to Latin Pop tunes blasting from the Grimophone, Everett joined Heather outside. She was carving a pumpkin and enjoying the temperate evening, and Heather's costume nearly knocked him over with nostalgia. "You still look incredible in blue paint. Hope you got some pictures this time."

"This was a much more successful Spooky Day party than my first attempt, thank you very much."

"You and Conrad are great hosts."

They caught one another up on their sons and laughed together in the moonlight, but after everything they'd been through, and where they were in their lives now, their high school kiss under the stars was a distant memory.

"It's funny, you and Malcolm both dressed up as pirates this year. And Malcolm Landgraab as a pirate is just...there's this old story about a pirate queen who cursed the Landgraabs," she said.

(I put Malcolm in a pirate costume on purpose, Everett just appreciates giving me symbolism with Heather's two past loves dressed in the same costume that happens to remind her of the curse she fears will harm her son!)

"I'm not a fan of Malcolm Landgraab, but I trust in the Watcher far too much to put any stock in curses."

Heather shook off the conversation. A priest couldn't talk to her about curses or raising the dead. For the first time in her life, she couldn't talk to her best friend. She glanced through the kitchen window, where Conrad was chatting with Bella Goth. These days, he was the person she could tell everything.

Before he stood to head back inside, Everett smiled. "It's nice to know you know how to throw a costume party, after all," he teased. Heather laughed to herself.

Though she'd worn the same costume as she did back in high school, she was such a different person now. ->

10 People I'd Like to Get to Know Better

I was tagged and haven't done one of these sorts of things for a little while so here we go

Last song: I guess the one I am listening to as I write this... Sailor's Superstition by serpentwithfeet

Favorite color: Yellow

Last Movie: The Substance

Last book: Ayiti by Roxane Gay but please don't ask me when I finished it, I have been horrible at finishing books and not reading much in general in the past few years 😭I think I may soon be deemed illiterate at this rate

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet. Too much of it. That's how I'm so chonky.

Last googled: "photos from 1800s philippines" because I was testing San Simeon and needed to make an outfit for my testing sim

Also a brief aside is that when the US colonized the Philippines in the early 20th century, they would dress the already relatively Westernized Filipinos in pre-colonial dress to make them look in need of "civilizing" to justify their white man's burden expansion into the islands.

Current obsession: Sims wise: decorating Northeney houses. Non-Sims: god don't laugh but I've been playing the Clue PC game 🙈

Looking forward to: My evening pottery class starting again next week!

I will tag @leplumbobvert @nornities @id-element0 @lilidebergerac @batsheba @cocodotgreen @samkat10423 @yamanaka4576 @papermint-airplane @simsaralove

Sorry if any of you have done it before or don't want to!! I have a feeling this one has been circling around for a while

- ... and then she spat the polenta straight into my face, and giggled!

Noor was sharing the adventures of trying to give her newest grandchild, little Simadhne, solid food.

- Like mother like daughter, Eira said, because I remember Areth doing exactly the same a long time ago.

- Well, to my defense, I don't like polenta, Areth tried to say.

- You ungrateful child, Noor laughed. Little Simadhne will teach you a lesson or two about the injustice of the world, I'm sure. Now hush off and get your vegetables so I can have a private talk with your auntie.

- She will become a wonderful mother, Eira commented. She is so much like you. It must be wonderful to have her so close.

- Yes, things have turned out so well for our family. I'm really happy for her. How are things with Khara? Any hope for a grandchild?

- Not that I know of, but you know, it's still early, they just got married.

- Do you think they might stay? Or do you think she will follow Samuel back to Kastanea?

- I don't know. Samuel is now the rightful owner of Kyria Figélia's house, but he will still need to work. They can't live on his savings forever. So I am a bit worried.

- And Bansabira, any news there?

- Nope, still single and living at home. She is filling her days with artwork and studies, but she needs a family. I've suggested a few candidates, but she is not interested. I worry about her.

- Hmmm.

- Is that what our lives going to be from now on Noor? Worrying constantly about our children? Even as grown ups?

- Probably, Noor laughed. But at least Areth and Phaidros are doing well and are both married with children now. Tychon is still living at home, but he is surprisingly popular with the ladies, despite the fact that he is a real slob. I honestly don't understand what they see in him, but I will not be surprised if he gets married early. And he has a good job in construction, so he will be all right.

- And Myrto?

- Oh Myrto, my little heart. Eira, she is really special. Of course they all are, but she is one of a kind. So lighthearted, so funny and quick-witted. Still innocent, yet open to the world. She reminds me of myself at her age. She is a dreamer, but she is still young, she will be fine. I hope. At least at the moment I'm not worried about her. But...

- But what?

- Honestly, I am really worried about Teo and Mpatíni. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something going on between them.

- We've all experienced some marital disagreements, don't you think it will pass?

- No, this is not a simple marital quarrel. The don't talk, they seem to avoid each other. It's been developing over years now. Ever since Iliouloùsta came to us, but I don't believe it has to do with her. They both seem to love her very much. We all do.

- Whatever it is, there is not much we can do about it, is there? They will have to work it out for themselves.

- You are right of course. I'm just sad to see them so unhappy.

- What about you Noor, are you happy?

- Me? Yes of course! What kind of question is that?

- I mean, we've been talking about our children back and forth now, but what about you, are you happy with your life?

- What do you mean? Why shouldn't I be happy? All my children are doing well, well most of time anyway, so...?

- Yes I know, but what about your life? Do you feel satisfied with what you have achieved? Do you think life is worth living?

- Eira, you always complicate things! Of course life is worth living, what a silly thing to say! I'm fine, the family is fine, you are fine. It's just small worries. It's normal. Hey, wait! Are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with you that you are not telling me?

- No, no, I'm okay. It's just... Well sometimes I feel that something is missing in my life. Never mind, maybe it will be better if I get grandchildren. Something to focus on. At least Polykarpos is dating

- Oh is he now?

- Yes there seems to be a new girl every week, so I don't know if he will settle down or anything like that. We will just have to wait and see. I had hopes for Khara and Samuel, but...

- What about Yousif?

- Yousif? Kyrios Eláïom? What about him?

- Are there any news?

- No, he is still in Kastanea according to Samuel. I don't think he will ever come back here. The long journey... And he is not a young man after all.

- You miss him.

- Miss him? I really don't... Okay he is a nice man, and I miss the conversations.

- Eira, surely it must be allowed to admit that you like him? Even if you're well into adulthood, it's okay to fall in love, isn't it?

- No, my goddess, in love?! Ugh, how embarrassing. That's for young people. Stop teasing me.

- I'm not teasing. You are in love, you miss him and you want him in your life. That's why you are asking all these silly question about life worth living and such high-flying philosophical stuff. Be honest! If not with me, so at least with yourself!

- Don't be silly!

- Just think about it. Send him a message! Maybe he feels the same? Maybe he will give up everything in Kastanea just to be with you?

- Oh Noor, you are such a romantic dreamer. That will never happen.

- Sister, have a little faith. Contact him. What is there to loose?

- I'm just realistic.

- More like fatalistic.

- Look! There is Kyria Anaktoría! Let's say hello!

- The fact that you are avoiding the topic proves my point.

- Phff..

Turning @kyriat-sims Manthos Palace into a 4 unit apartment for King Priam of Hecuba Troy + their way too many children

Unit 1: Priam and Hecuba + youngest children

Unit 2: Hector, Andromache and Astyanax + horses (though the stables will be in the shared part of the palace) can be seen outlined in pink on first floor court yard

Unit 3: the remaining prince's of troy (only those attributed to Priam and Hecuba, no concubines, because that's just too many, I'm already at 146 sims between what I've shown here and those in Kyriat's early civilization save -on the bright side it has stopped generating ugly no historical townie families)currently this is occupying the 2nd and 3rd floors on the right outlined in blue

Unit 4: the princesses* of Troy (*see princes of troy ^)

So in principal it should function like a regular palace, everything will be shared expect for the private quarters which are the units; these include a functional living space, bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything else can be done throughout the palace.

I am also including interior/ exterior wrap around balconies with access to stairs for easier travel

Note: I am NOT a builder and this is driving me nuts, any suggestions PLEASE send them in

current inspiration comes from @kyriat-sims @mrsracooney @procrasimnation

Also I plan to do a similar thing for Helen and Menelaus/ Clytemnestra and Agamemnon and their children, that's easy to keep track of sims

Myrto's Summer Favorites

Lovely new female clothing in lovely colors! I wanted some more variety for the females of the next generation in my legacy, I mean... who would like to use the same dress as your mother?! Well the dresses might exist already (these are recolors), but hey! color variety makes all the difference!

You will need the mesh and/or packs for the recolors to show up in your game. 

These items are not historically correct, but they don't hurt my eyes in my Early Civ save. The Summerdress is much to tight for it's time, but is very practical in game since it goes well with most kind of accessory. I decided to keep (the normal-map with) the floral embroidery, but let me know if you prefer a plain version.

All colors are from my Efrosyni and Knossos palette and from Vintage Simstress' Southern Dyes palette. This means a lot of colors, but you can easily remove the ones you don't want using S4S.

” The room contained the embalmed bodies of all the kings of their lineage. The deeper they went into the crypt and the older the coffins were, as his father explained to him and as he could see himself in the less and less complicated stylization of the patterns that adorned the mausoleums. The first tombs he saw were those of his grandfather and one of his uncles, murdered by his father’s half-brother, Drakos. Then, a tomb with a stripped appearance attracted his attention: it was that of Arcas the Third, the king who had ruled before his grandfather and who had been killed in the middle of a meeting by his advisors (…) King Evandros, without taking into account the start of dread of his son to the evocation of all these turpitudes, continued to list the kings of their lineage while going back in time: Sippias the Third, murdered at the age of seventeen; Evandros the Second, poisoned by his wife and her lover; Thalysios the Second, murdered at twenty; Opitès the First, murdered the day before his fourteen years by his uncle Aristaios; Aneritos the First, murdered by the former fiancé of his daughter that he had preferred to give in marriage to another and who himself had murdered his uncle, his cousin and his seven-year-old half-brother to sit on the throne. Then the murderous madness of men calmed down with the most ancient kings…
