Hi!

I unfortunately do not have any of her poses, I checked the other night and sadly cannot find them in any of my files. 🫤

Hi!

I think the best way to do this is to research what the world was modeled on, and then look up actual historical builds from that place.

Brindleton Bay is confirmed to be based on New England so when I do builds there I use inspo from the world around me since I live here. If I do builds in Chestnut Ridge I use inspiration from the American west and southwest. If I do builds in Henford, I try to look things up from the Cotswolds because I've heard that's what it's based on. You can google this for every Sims 4 world there should be wiki information on it.

Most of my builds are based on real life images, blueprints, or occasionally from other sources I feel did their homework. My Soddy build is basically a recreation of Prairie Homestead in South Dakota and all my farmhouses in Brindleton utilize the big house, little house, back house, and barn architectural style because it's so common in New England I think it's just so fun and interesting.

Other builds like those in my antiquated brindleton save take more creative license because I see examples of that architecture everyday. Some of the reasons I don't do a ton of builds in other worlds is because I won't always feel comfortable finding all the information I need to do them as accurate as I want. That and the fact that I just really enjoy exploring New England and western architecture.

Hi!

Happy to help try to list out what I use! Some of these are obviously historical, some just help me with my game! This might have gotten a little long, but I tried to include all the mods I feel like I need to happily play in a historic save file. I've included some overrides here as well.

MC Command Center by @deaderpoolmc

Allows for setting changes to support a more historic style of playthrough, and just so much more control over your game.

T.O.O.L. by @twistedmexi

Great for moving debug objects to cover obviously modern items outside the lot, and an absolute must have for posing.

UI Cheats by Weerbesu

Lets you cheat by simpling right clicking on the UI, great for custom historic careers, money management, really everything!

Better Exceptions by @twistedmexi

Helps you locate cc sims are wearing and just keeps an eye on your game heath.

Timeless by @pandorasimbox

Hides modern world objects from your save, amazing for making world appearance much more suitable for historical play.

No Autonomous Anything by @claudiasharon

Includes no autonomous phone, no autonomous pc use, no auto grabbing drinks or food, and no auto cleaning. You can choose which ones work for you best, I have everything but no auto cleaning.

Phone Call Overhaul by @lotharihoe

Reworks the call system, especially great that you can delay invitations, makes it feel more like letter exchanges.

Hat Control Slider by ICONIC

Allows you to adjust where eligible hats sit on the sims head, perfect for those big historic hairs and hats.

Remove Hats & More Indoors by @mizoreyukii

Works similarly to the Snowy Escape not allowing shoes indoor, sims will remove hats and gloves when they come indoors. Great for letting sims have historic outfits without looking silly indoors.

Broom Instead of Mop by @xbrilliantsims

Override for the in-game mop to the broom so your historical sims aren't mopping puddles with that yellow and plastic monstrosity.

Pregnancy Overhaul by @littlemssam

Allows your pregnant sims to do more while they're pregnant. Also offers some more realistic options for mortality.

No ZZZ and No Music Note by Krys29 (MTS)

Gets rid of the zzz's and music notes, makes my screenshots better.

Bust The Dust Overhaul by @lotharihoe

Gets rid of the dust bunnies and clean floor sparkles from the bust the dust kit.

Functional Broom by @mizoreyukii

Works like a vacuum for bust the dust, or available as a BG option to have your sims sweep up.

Neutral Knitting Override by @pandorasimbox

Overrides the bright knitted swatch while your sims are knitting for a more neutral color.

Dog Leash Override by @magnolianfarewell

Overrides the plastic retractable leash used for dogs on walks with a simple leather lead.

Hey!

I'm sorry I don't have any acanthus pieces, they were never really my style. I bet there are tons of other folks out there who do, so if any of my followers have this, feel free to comment here!

29. What gameplay/CAS/BB feature would you like to see added/changed in the game?

I gotta say, I would love to be able to place roofs on top of half walls, that would revolutionize my building! I hate that there's no option for 1 1/2 story houses!

30. What’s your favorite thing to do in the game?

Right now it's definitely storytelling!! I love getting my scene all set up and getting the exact right angle and shot, really satisfying. BUT I don't have to worry about everything being perfect, maybe I didn't give them a party outfit and only built that one room, but it's okay you'll never see that. It's opened me up creatively a lot more!

Thank you so much for these asks I'm having a total blast!!

okay loving these thank u thank u (also i see you sneaking hattie in)

🌑 - what does your character think is their biggest flaw?

Hattie is still a bit new to this story so this is a fun moment to get to dive into her a bit more! I think she would consider he biggest flaw to be her lack of education. She grew up in a very backwoods area in pretty extreme poverty with a whole jumble of siblings and has had very little education. For someone who has dreams and aspirations of bettering themselves and seeing more of the world, that's a sore spot.

🕰 - what made you pick your character's career? how was it influenced by the time period they live in?

I feel like asking this question just like implies you know I thought about this so hard. Will's future career was something I agonized over for a long time and went back and forth on a lot. He had multiple options which now that I've developed this one all feel SO odd to think about. I didn't want him to be a farmer, I couldn't do a second gen of that, but as many of you know realism is important to me! Will didn't get more than an eighth grade education, which wasn't uncommon at the top, but did realistically limit him from a lot of potential careers (especially careers that equate to sims careers, we need more blue color rep ea pls). As I was determining his career I was thinking about this period in time and what was a way that a man without much education could make his own way and have some opportunity for advancement. Mechanics, and specifically automobile, mechanics really stuck out to me as a great way to showcase the changing of the times but remain true to Will's experiences. And since it was a growing industry it seemed like it would be easier for a newcomer to make his way. I also wanted to showcase the shift from agrarian to industrial jobs that was rampant at this time.

👀 - what is the first thing stranger's would notice about your character?

Gosh this is hard!! I think a couple of things honestly, I think they would notice his height, in my mind he's over six feet and isn't a super lanky dude either, so he's got a presence. I think after that they'd notice his smile, he's such a sweet guy and honestly his in game smile is just very like inviting and sweet. Like it's a smile that says I am genuinely happy and I think in some ways that's rare? He's not dumb so I hesitate to use the words gentle giant, but in some ways I think he has some of those traits typified by that term so those are the two things people would notice.

Hi!

I don't know of any of the top of my head, my thought would be to search the gallery by the #moonwoodmill or #werewolves tags since that world/pack had such an industrial vibe.

However I did ask my friends and one (the lovely @aheathen-conceivably ) recommended this shell that James Turner made, they suggested also potentially searching for that shell challenge to find other similar builds. Honestly I never watch simstube so I am out of my element with this one ahaha.
