URL Song Game

Thank you for the tag @vermutandherring this is such a fun idea!!

antiquated plumbobs: an eclectic assortment of hoarded memories and experiences, people and emotions, akin to a dragon sitting upon its pile of treasure, but it's more one man's trash kind of vibes and oh we're in the woods

This was delightful but also crazy hard (q almost defeated me thank god for taylor) i am not really a song girly, i save things that make my brain feel nice and that's about the only criteria, so I'm going to tag some of the song girlies (and others) in my life, can't wait to see what you do with it darlings

@aheathen-conceivably @surely-sims @thebramblewood @elderberries-and-honey @applesaucesims @stargazingsims and literally anyone else who wants to do this!!

Oh my god wow, I honestly didn't think it was going to be this good. I am so excited for this new pack, it is my aesthetic/gameplay style COMPLETELY.

The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack

Delight in the quaint charm of The Sims™4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack* with animal friends, garden-to-table meals, and a close-knit community. At home, cook with the family using the freshest ingredients. Explore the forest to befriend woodland creatures or forage for food, or head to town to meet the locals. Whether Sims are hugging a cow, making friends (or enemies) with their chickens, or growing the biggest vegetables around, the countryside is abundant with new experiences and ways to connect with the world around them.

Raise or Befriend Animals

The cottage cow provides fresh (flavored!) milk for everyone while chickens lay eggs in the coop. Gather llama wool for crafts, but beware of mischievous foxes - the pesky critters love eggs! In the forest, keep an eye out for wildlife like rabbits and birds to earn their trust for occasional gifts and help in the garden.

Live Off the Land

Make cooking and gardening fun for the whole family. New recipes and Lot Challenges require fresh ingredients for each meal. Whether Sims grow their own produce, visit the village market, or forage in the wild, fresh is best! Up for a challenge? Try growing oversized crops to enter into the competition at the Finchwick Fair.

Embrace Village Life

Henford-on-Bagley is a cozy village where everyone knows everyone. So pack a picnic basket and cross-stitch hoop, and head down to The Gnome’s Arms pub to kick back with the locals after a long day. Earn unique gifts and learn about the town’s lore from neighbors, or participate in the Finchwick Fair to show off your most prized cow or chicken.

The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack arrives on July 22, 2021, on all platforms!

*REQUIRES THE SIMS 4 (SOLD SEPARATELY) AND ALL GAME UPDATES. FOR PC, SEE MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PACK.

I've been a little quiet on here lately, but it's been because I've been busily building away in the historical save file I'm making to share!

All the shells are built, and everything but three lots is fully furnished, so I'm getting really close here. I'm so so excited to share this with you guys when its done, you have no idea. I'm currently planning for after the infant update so I can update any cc included that needs it, and add new infant items where appropriate!

I'm trying to keep it cc lite, and only include very established cc creators or packs in, what I consider basics for historical simming, but its a whole world so its a bit. I hope everyone is okay with that. Preferring cc did win my poll, but not by a lot.

I'm sharing the map because I just can't keep all this excitement to myself anymore and I have to share with you guys! Also included are a couple of shots of some of my favorite builds from it.

The finished save will have households and buildings, all circa 1890. Perfect for starting your decades challenge.

I've been so busy with the holidays lately I haven't had much time to sim. I keep jumping between interests as well.

I want to get back to my Sewell's but things are still feeling a lil buggy after For Rent.

I've been working on refreshing some of my older builds and I think I'll try to release those, as well as maybe releasing some of my Antiquated Brindleton builds as cc free. Ideas ideas.... Would you guys be interested in any of that?

[antiquatedplumbobs]

I've been really busy with life and other such nonsense, but as I saw today is Simblr Gratitude Day I wanted to make a post just to say thank you to ALL of you.

I know I'm in and out of being active, but I love this little community here so very much and am endlessly appreciative of everyone who takes part. Sometimes I still can't believe I found this delightful little corner of the internet. Even if I'm not posting, I'm usually hanging around taking joy from all the beauty here.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the people who call this place home; it feels like such a spot of goodness.

Hi all !

Little Sewell Legacy update ☺️

We have finally moved beyond the three (!) birthdays in a row, thank you for your patience through that.

I decided to compress 1912, 1913, and 1914 because I've started approaching this as more of a story than actually played legacy, and didn't have anything plot wise for those years.

Today's post will be the first in 1915, which is the year the plot for this decade sort of begins. I have been playing like a fiend and have posts in the queue (I know I actually don't recognize myself either).

I really, really hope you guys like where I'm going. I'm planning on posting 2-3 times per week and will probably try to post around the same time (early afternoon est).

I'm so excited to share this with you guys, my little Sewell babies really mean so much to me and I've been just having a blast playing again.

Thanks for the tag my darling @aheathen-conceivably, I realized after I did this we chose almost the same background. oops! 👯‍♀️

I appreciated this picrew as it afforded me the opportunity to convey to you how narrow my nose is, which is a defining feature of myself.

I have no idea what to make of those results except I love cats and causing a bit of chaos and I will take it.

picrew by @ummmmandy and quiz (thank you creators for fueling our most outrageous desires of individuality, I love them)

Well, here comes Antiquated Chestnut Ridge y'all 🐎💁‍♀️

Not sure if having an entire western town lot tipped anyone off, but I'm very into the intricacies of westward expansion in the late 1800s. I even toyed with making a Homesteading Challenge (based on the US Homesteading Act), but there was never a suitable world. Oops guess there is now. So so excited to see if more in depth and get my hands on all the build buy 😍😍

[antiquatedplumbobs]

Okay so I've mentioned a few times I'm working on refurbishing some older builds/those from my save file. It's the speed I'm capable of simming at right now and has been a ton of fun actually.

I'm curious though, of all my older/save file builds, which would you all like to see me take another look at? Drop a comment below because I'm super curious!!

[antiquatedplumbobs]

Hi all, long time no active!

I'm finally feeling like a have time/desire to start hanging out on Tumblr again (you have noticed I'm reblogging stuff again), and as it always goes when I take a break I feel like I come back and there's lots of new people that I don't know.

I love the historical simming community and being part of it and right now my dash is feeling a little sparse. So if you're a historical simblr you should like or reblog this so I can follow you!

Happy historical simming everyone!!

[antiquatedplumbobs]

Hi all!!

I know I've been quiet on here, I assume those of you who have been following me for a while know that's just how I am sometimes. 😂

I've been trying to enjoy the summer weather, so spending less time at the PC, but I also needed to figure out where my story was going for the next decade or so before I posted again.

It's now almost fall and I'm craving some chill PC time and I recently finishing blocking out/writing almost until 1920.

This is all a very long way of saying that I'm hoping to get back to posting Sewell content in the next couple of weeks!!

Also to all the tags/asks I see them! I just have been so busy I haven't done them but I appreciate it so so much!! 🥰

[antiquatedplumbobs]

Builds!

Hi everyone, I'm curious what people's preferences are when it comes to my builds including cc, do you wish they did?

I usually build with cc and have then released vanilla versions to you guys so they're more accessible. However, I'm working on my light cc historical save and have been contemplating releasing builds early. Now that we have polls, I figured it was an easy way to check in and see how everyone feels about it.

Any builds that have cc would include links and would still be pretty light on the cc, but there are certain historical cc objects we have that just cannot be replicated by in game resources.

[antiquatedplumbobs]

Next Sewell post will go live tomorrow, I accidentally left the text on a computer I don't have access to today 😂🤦‍♀️

🎶✨ When you get this, you have to write down 5 songs you actually listen to and post them. Then send this (ask or tag) to 10 of your favorite followers cool ppl✨🎶

I’m putting off doing schoolwork today, so thank you very much for giving me something to do @aheathen-conceivably​. I tned to hyper fixate on music a bit so I think I’m gonna go for some of my hyper fixation songs over the last like six-ish months

1. New Perspective by Noah Kahan

I’m a rural new england girly and I’ve been vibing with this whoooole album

2. Jersey Giant by Elle King

My partner and I have recently been getting into bluegrass/country a bit more and this is my favorite we’ve found in that genre so far

3. The Great War by Taylor Swift

On my most basic level I’m just a girl that eats up books, particularly fantasy and romance and this song just has all those feels

4. Your Woman by White Town

I came across this song on tiktok comparing this song, the song it samples, and then a song that samples this song and kind of fell in love for a month there

5. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Duomo

I’ve always been a sucker for piano covers of classic songs and this green day album was my favorite when I was like 6 or 7 so I really like this cover 

Just gonna tag some randoms, there might be duplication from others, have fun if you want a distraction, always please anyone who wants to do it that I didn’t tag do so!

@stargazingsims @chere-indolente @peebsplays @cosisim @anachrosims @javitrulovesims @ivyandink @simblrangel

[antiquatedplumbobs]

If I were to hypothetically make a vintage/historical save file, would

a) people be interested in that

b) want it to be cc free or include some cc for clothing, maybe very few build pieces

Just an idea I'm toying around with, but I'm pretty caught up on that second question. I would want it to be useful for people.

If any of you have suggestions for something like that I'd love to hear them!
