Magical Makeovers: Mortia to the Rescue

Some game objects feel like lost causes for historical hoods — until @mortia steps in and says, essentially, hold my mead. With a knack for clever default replacements and alternate objects, Mortia transforms unlikely candidates into something usable, immersive, and often downright inspired. This showcase highlights her talent for making the impossible quietly work.

Published: 8-11-2025 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Elvhen Age collection is a gift for DavinaOjeda. This is part of the 2025 Christmas in July event hosted by the Plumbob Keep (medievalsims.com). Especially for fantasy and occult simmers, here is the ELVHEN AGE collection, based on the Elvhen Age, A Dragon Age: Veilguard Conversion (SecretMage, 2025; BioWare 2024; 2014). Some items were left out because they’ve already been converted, or lowering polycount would warp the mesh beyond reason. See details below.

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §100-5000 | See Buy Mode/Collection File Place oversized objects with cheats to minimize clipping with walls/other objects. These are all mid-higher poly – be sure to discard what isn’t necessary for your gameplay. The Eluvian Seeing Glasses require the custom Matte Sphere by Numenor (2009; 2005); Recolors seen in this post are from Pixelhate (2009). Find other Dragon Age conversion for Sims 2 HERE. ITEMS Accents (Deco) (3415 poly) Beds (3000-5200 poly) Bookshelf (3208 poly) Books & Instruments (Deco) (1129-1995) Dreadwolf Statues (~1952 poly) Eluvians (Animated) (1382-4464 poly) – requires the Matte Sphere by Numenor (2005); Recolors HERE) Lyrium Daggers (Deco) (3262-3632 poly) Other Deco Items (4106-5822 poly) Scroll 1 (1658 poly), Scroll 2 (3876 poly), Scroll 3 (1884 poly) Seating (2010-4700 poly) – sofa may clip at ends Surfaces (1000 poly) Wardrobe (4385 poly) - "Shop At Home" Hack DOWNLOAD (choose one) ELVEHEN AGE OBJECTS from THE KEEP | (ALT) ELUVIANS from THE KEEP | (ALT) COLLECTION FILE from THE KEEP | (ALT) TXTRs (for your own edits/recolors) from THE KEEP | (ALT) (512x512)

Lemme just say, before I'm heading to bed: None of the people involved in the moderation of the Keep in any shape or form are even remotely planning to give up just like that.

A lot of things are still uncertain, but just know: we want to keep going. We're not sure what the future is going to bring, but rest assured, we are thinking about what our plans are. We historical simmers are not going down easily.

Hearths and Hedgerows

From crooked chimneys to climbing ivy, there’s something timeless about a small cottage tucked behind a hedgerow. These residential lots celebrate the charm of timber frames, worn stone, and lived-in spaces made for storytellers, smallholders, and village folk alike. Whether nestled at the forest’s edge or lining a quiet country lane, each build proves that you don’t need sprawling estates to create atmosphere. Step inside and explore the heart of humble living.
