Remember, keep to mouth stuff and you'll never have to worry about storks showing up. You will absolutely still have to worry about all manner of venereal diseases though.

World Downloads(Added information about rabbithole rug).

Hi everyone!　First of all, I must apologize. Regarding my previous post about "Victorian Sunset Valley", I deleted it because there was a problem with the save file. There is no problem with the empty world.

I'm really sorry to all the simmers who downloaded, liked, reblogged and commented.

It seems that the problem can be solved by separating the save files, so I decided to share it again. There are no changes to the empty world, so if you have it, please try again.

❖Empty World There are just a Public Lots, a Farm District, and Goth Manor.The two hilltop mansions don't exist yet. This is Sunset Valley long before Mortimer Goth was born.If there is a historic town you have in mind, you are free to build it here.

※An empty world requires the store item "Artemis Temple Frieze (Muse Luxury)".

❖Save files You can enjoy the Victorian era right away, but there are no film careers, universities, or diving spots. There are a few empty plots, so feel free to add them.

This time, I did not build any houses. I only built some public lots, but I changed the color of the buildings I shared before and placed them. The Equestrian Center of EA is very conspicuous, so I built a small racetrack. There is a fire station of EA next to it, but it does not blend in with the scenery very well, so I am thinking of rebuilding it someday.

The address of @ri-el's Sherlock Holmes residence is 221B Baker Street. I wanted to place this residence on the main street, so I set the lot size specifically. Then I placed the lot built by @nornities to match the cafe next door and the stairs leading to the harbor across the road. The harbor is a bit of a tourist area, with trade ships, sightseeing ships, and passenger ships arriving and departing. Some Sims may come to see the steamships, so I prioritized placing it here. There are also lots of great builds by other creators included. Thank you.

Every house has some sort of vehicle (either a horse-drawn carriage or a historic bicycle), and the sight of so many carriages going around town is truly impressive!

It looks heavy, but if you can play the EA Store worlds then I don't think it will be an issue.

Basically, it is a town for enjoying historical play such as the Victorian or Edwardian, but I think it can also be enjoyed in normal play.

The decoration is minimal, so feel free to edit it however you like and have fun.

Residential 38　Community 40　Empty ８

And especially a huge thanks to Sookielee at Custom Sims 3 for making the Sunset Valley CAW files available.

Anyway, some simmers, including @enjoji101, were concerned and encouraged me. And they asked me to share this town. I originally created this world for myself, but if there is even one simmer who is interested in this town and wants to play, I would be very honored and grateful. And I would like to make that wish come true. Thank you very much. I love you all.

Have a smashing time!

This blue vintage Edwardian gown was first seen in a deleted scene from the 1997 film 𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄.   Fox Studios (Twentieth Century Studios) used the costume on their website to advertise their wardrobe department.   The piece appeared a third time on Alexandra Ella as a party guest in a 2017 Southwest Airlines commercial entitled "𝑵𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚"   Want more people to know about us?

hey mod, i have been following this blog for a while and i consider your posts to be a solid reference when making my art. recently, i saw a trailer for a new(?) game called wylde society. it is advertised simply as a cozy period drama with witchcraft. what drew my eye is that there are black people (and other poc) in it. the art style is cute and the game doesnt look like my thing, but i was wondering what you might think of it, if anything.

also its not really a question, just that ive been noticing a lot of fantasy period dramas on tv lately that include black people. i think we do in fact deserve to be in fantasy but i wonder why things like edwardian/victorian/etc society are so popular. its even one of my moms big interests, but she never really gives me a straight answer as to why exactly lmao.

My name is Ice 😊

It does have a cute art style! Google's admittedly only showing me like two pictures so, I can't make any judgments or anything like that. But it's nice that there are at least two Black characters!

The short answer: imperialism and white supremacy!

The summary of a longer answer: they're so popular because those historical periods have been deemed very important (and therefore interesting to know about) to the western white world, and the narrative its spent a very long time pushing on the rest of us. We talk about Queen Victoria, but how many of us can name all the leaders of kingdoms and villages she and her empire decided to invade? The sun is only gonna start setting on the British Empire in spring 2025. 2025!

I haven't even finished it yet (ngl it's easy to understand yet difficult to read for me) but Orientalism really is an amazingly thorough explanation by Edward Said of how the way we explain the world- from our history, to our media, to our people- has been extremely affected by the needs and end goals of the White Western Perspective (though the book focuses on that strategy utilized towards what we call the "Middle East").

And don't get me wrong- I adore me a good period piece. But I also know why we don't live in a world where "period pieces" aren't about the daily lives of royals of Botswana or Guyana or Chile or something.

Vintage Posters are here!

I have an Edwardian build I've been working on recently, with live-in servants in the attic. I wanted them to have something to look at besides bare walls and I figured some old advertisements might be appropriate.

As such, I've trolled through old posters to make two packages, one with posters from 1890-1899 and the other with posters from 1900-1909. Some of these are travel-related, others are advertisements for products, and there's even a poster for the Yiddish theater.

I've priced these at 10 simoleons so that they're affordable for vintage sims, but for modern sims, a more realistic price is 1k, or even 2k, as some original posters cost $2000 if you want your own piece of advertising history.
