The casting of Assad as Armand is fucking incredible cause he literally looks like he stepped out of a renaissance artwork like for instance, the very real sketch by Tintoretto of Giuliano de’ Medici:

EXCUSE ME????????? The FUCK

TOWNIES THROUGH TIME - THE LANDGRAABS

I've had this idea in the back of my mind for quite some time to put iconic Sims 4 townies into historical time periods, and since the game is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this week I figured now would be as good a time as any. First up we have the Landgraabs...

I was inspired by another infamously power hungry, money grubbing, land owning dynasty - The House of Borgia. They were a Spanish noble family which rose to prominence during the Italian Renaissance, which is why I've decked out the Landgraabs in looks pulled directly from the late 1400s/early 1500s.

I'll have a new townie lookbook everyday this week, so I hope you enjoy the series as much as I did putting it together.

Give me a look - I'm captivated by you.

Give me your hand - I was melting with a wafer

In your inflamed larynx...

See the reason why I find Dante immensely relatable is because I too would cope with the pain of exile by writing a long self-indulgent self-insert fan fiction starring me and my favourite classical poet

Tartosan Basilica · 40 x 30 · CC Included

Not going to lie, I had a lot of fun with this one! The interior is inspired by the Church of San Lorenzo in Collazzone, Umbria, with beautiful vaulting and pilasters in a mix of gothic and Greco-Roman influence. The exterior/layout is a mix of Renaissance and Romanesque architecture, something like you’d see in Italy or the Balkans. Originally I put a large wedding reception area in the back of the lot, but it didn’t quite look right, although I plan on starting a villa wedding venue too soon - you can always remove the gardens there and add your own wedding area, but the altar inside the church does function as a wedding arch thanks to TheJim07 (amongst their other beautiful CC used like the pilasters and religious statues). 

Hopefully this will be a nice complement to my incoming Palazzo (July).
