#kyriat

This residential lot is inspired by many of the small fishing villages in Greece, and in particular Klima on Milos and Gerolimenas in Mani. I've built the lot for a poor fisherman's family in my Early Civ save, so the furnishings are very simple, not to say poor, and with Early Civ replacement for necessary modern stuff like fridges, toilets and so on.

I also wanted to make an apartment version of this lot, but unfortunately you can't have apartments on waterfront lots. I know it's possible with a mod, but the disadvantages are major, so there would be no point imo. That's why six of the eight houses are empty, but you can fill them with all kinds of stuff, if you want to. I recommend that you lock the doors (click on the doors in live mode and select Lock Door for Everyone) to avoid household members and visitors from roaming around.

Info about this lot Residential lot Lot size: 50x50 Original lot: Sapphire Shores, Sulani Bedroom/bath: 2+2 Value: $75.309 Lot traits: Oceanic Paradise, Cat Hangout, Sunny Aspect Partly furnished and decorated 2 playable floors House 1: Ground floor has a bath with bathtub and workshop and a bedroom upstairs. House 2: Ground floor has a open kitchen/diner/living room and upstairs a bedroom. House 3-8 are more or less empty

Packs and cc

I've used cc and several packs for this build, as well as TOOL and MOO. As always, you don't need all items or packs to download, but you must be prepared to do some editing if you don't have them, because of missing items.

Not all cc is included in the download! A list (PDF) with details and links for all cc used is included. I always try to follow the creator's TOU, however, if you have problems finding working links to any of the cc listed, please contact me, maybe I can help.

The lot contains some of my own recolors, and I've also used CC from the following creators:

After the disaster caused by the monster wave, the new and improved agorá is now finally ready. (You can see the old one here) Whether you are buying or selling, the local market of Manthos has everything you need. Here you can even find workstations for ceramics, jewelry and lots of other interesting activities. Want to debate with Socrates? This is the place! Listen to a reading of Euripides? This is where it happens! And hey, bring the kids! They can play in the playground while you do your errands in peace and quiet. Welcome!

This is a local market, but if you want to change it to a retail store it should be supereasy, since I've left the cash register where it was, just in case. 😀

Since the dawn of time, women have worked hard to keep their families and homes clean, even when the only tools they had were cold river water and homemade soap. At least at Nerotriví, their children can play while their mothers are busy and during their break they can enjoy a coffee at the bakery. The work is like a breeze!

Happy simming! 💕

Hello @allhistoricalcc - @anitasims - @emilyccfinds - @itsjessicaccfinds - @mmfinds

@ashissimming @public-ccfinds - @sssvitlanz

My hubby was hospitalized, and for a moment it looked very serious. Thank god he is okay now, but these kind of things gives you a scare. I have considered whether I spend too much time on The Sims and not enough with my family. I might spend a little less in the future. (My problem is that I enjoy it so much. 😌)

I want to publish a new chapter in my story. However, if I'm not focused and inspired I find it too hard to write, and I don't want it to be hard. I want it to be easy and joyful. If not, there is no point. I hope to start posting in mid February, but we will see.

My story and game is now slowly moving into Ancient times, following the History Challenge Extreme sheet. When I get there it would mean some rebuilds and stuff, and I really look forward to that, since it's one of my favorite thing to do.

I do want to develop my skills for cc making, but I find it very hard. I have a disability where one of the symptoms are cognitive challenges, making it very difficult to learn new things, especially complicated things like Blender. But maybe I will do some very simple frankenmeshing? That is my hope for this year. 🙏

What I did accomplish, is putting together a new video summary. I had already started it months ago, and now, while waiting for some mod updates after the resent patch, I was able to finish it. Finally! I really should do the remaining chapters now that I have it all fresh in mind.

I hope you are all enthusiastic and confident about the year ahead, even though some politicians are doing their very best to crush all optimism. But from someone who has been alive for a while: nothing lasts forever. I'm happy to have this community to keep my mind off all the bad things in the world. You are very important for my mental health and well-being! You really are!

We, the simple people, might not be able to stop wars and eradicate all suffering in the world, but we can be kind to each other. "Give someone a smile and you can change their day!", my grandmother said. We can never do more than our best, but if we do that, it's not a small thing.

Wishing you a peaceful year with happiness and all good things! 💖💝💖

Here is the video that i just finished:

This lot is largely inspired by the Mycenaean Palace of Nestor, described in Homer's Odyssey, the ruins of which can still be visited outside Pylos, Greece. Petra's Palace is not a historically accurate representation, but has elements that will be recognizable to history buffs.

However, some parts are obviously not historically correct, like when I've used glass roofs a couple of places on the top floor instead of keeping it open (as it was in reality). This because of the in-game lighting and for practical reasons.

Even though this is a very large house, it's fully playable, but I must issue a little warning: this is a huge lot with many details, a lot of cc, debug and moo placements. If your hardware is on the lower end, you probably shouldn't have this lot in your game, at least not as a furnished lot. That said, it works fine in my game, and I haven't experienced any lags or other problems with it.

  Info about this lot

Packs and cc

I've used a lot of cc and many packs for this build. As always, you don't need all items or packs to download, but you must be prepared to do some editing if you don't have them, because of missing items. The most important packs for this lot are: For Rent, Horse Ranch, High School Years, Jungle Adventure and Courtyard Oasis. 

Not all cc is included in the download! A list (PDF) with details and links for all cc used is included. I always try to follow the creator's TOU, however, if you have problems finding working links to any of the cc listed, please contact me, maybe I can help.

Some cc have not even been published before, and needs a little explanation: 

💝 With kind permission from Philo, I've mirrored two swatches in Minos Deco Stickers and added them as new swatches. Please download the set from Philo (at the moment hosted on TSR), then replace the Stickers package with THIS ONE. 

💝 My friend @mrsracooney made a wonderful mural inspired by my story characters. It was recently published, but I think it deserves a special mention anyway. (mesh from Martine needed)

💝A fellow historical creator, now retired, Gloomytrait once shared with me some colorized statues of @thejim07 's Hebe and Minerva. I think they are beautiful, and much to good not to be shared, so I asked TheJim007 for his permission, which he kindly gave (mesh/original needed)

💝I did a quick recolor for another project of the ArcaneIllusions Alchemy Lab manuscript v03 by @irinaseverinka to make it more Early Civ looking (the devil is in the details...). It's not something that deserves a post of it's own, but thanks to Severinkas generous TOU, I can share it freely. (It will need the mesh) 

A huge thanks to all cc creators 💝💝💝 :
