#sims4medievalbuild

This is a truly massive and majestic royal castle, inspired by 14th to early 15th century medieval fortifications.

I've always wanted to build a castle that felt like a real medieval fortress. Of course, The Sims comes with plenty of gameplay conventions that you have to work around—like placing toilets in every corner, which isn't exactly realistic. Still, I tried to strike a balance between enjoyable gameplay and historical authenticity.

The complex stands dramatically on a rocky cliff, with a narrow winding road leading up to the main gates. The multi-layered system of courtyards creates an excellent defensive layout — even if the enemy breaches the main gate, they can be trapped and ambushed at several stages before reaching the central courtyard.

Lower Courtyard features:

Stables

Barracks

Servants’ quarters

A well

A small vegetable garden

An archery range

Main Courtyard includes:

Training grounds

A cozy garden

Kitchen

Bathhouse

The Great Hall

The main residential palace

The castle also has several watchtowers along the walls. Beneath it lies a large storage cellar and a small dungeon with a prison.

The living space is enormous — it could easily house residents from several Sims towns. I have no idea who in their right mind would need this many bedrooms, but I built them anyway, just in case. There are numerous private chambers, several solar rooms for the lord and lady, guest rooms, and quarters for servants of varying ranks. The castle also includes a chapel, artist's studio and a library (as much as one can call a room with a modest collection of books and scrolls a “library” — though even a hundred volumes was an incredible privilege reserved for the wealthiest monarchs or monasteries at the time). The two-story Great Hall features a musicians’ gallery and a raised dais for the lord and lady.

The castle turned out very impressive, yet still quite playable. Personally, I would add and disguise an elevator in one of the towers alongside the stairs for faster movement (or use teleports — entirely up to you). No other major issues were found.

With love, Belialcat.

Hello everyone! ✨

Today I’m finally sharing a project I’ve been working on for a long time. This medieval town is my personal love letter to all The Sims 4 CC creators — none of this would have been possible without you.

Originally this lot wasn’t meant to be released, but I loved the final result and decided to share it with you ❤️

This is a medieval town inspired by European half-timbered houses of the Late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance. I focused on making it not only beautiful, but also functional — with period-appropriate (or fantasy-medieval) businesses and activities.

The lot is divided into three districts:

1. Outskirts

Inn with tavern, stables and guest rooms

Peasant house with windmill and watermill

Cemetery (to recreate the fog from, turn on the resized Spooky Stuff lanterns hidden around the cemetery)

Market stalls with vegetables and fish

2. Foreigners’ Quarter

Church, several two-story houses, bakery, workshop and chandler’s shop

Bathhouse with tavern and rooms upstairs

3. Noble Quarter

Houses with ground-floor workshops (apothecary, blacksmith, jeweler)

Artist’s house with studio on the second floor

Small food court

The main highlight — a stunning Gothic-Tudor mansion with a luxurious basement bathhouse inspired by Roman thermae and oriental hammams.

Technical Information:

Lot size: 64×64

World: Built for Henford-on-Bagley, but looks great in Ravenwood and Windenburg

Game version: 1.121.372.1020

Required cheat: bb.moveobjects on

This build is very heavy and contains a lot of Custom Content (including older mods). It is recommended for powerful PCs only.

And thank you to the following creators and many more (full list is in the CC document)

Once, Bramblewood Hall was a fortified manor, capable of protecting its inhabitants from bandit raids, peasant uprisings, or small armed companies. But time spares no stone. The walls surrounding the estate have gradually crumbled, the moat has overgrown, and some of the outbuildings have been completely dismantled. All that remains is a weathered, aging manor house.

Today, Bramblewood Hall is a place where antiquity peacefully coexists with quiet decline. Cracks in the plaster, darkened beams, moss on the roof… yet inside, you can still feel the soul of an old noble house.

What the estate includes:

A spacious main hall with a large fireplace

A kitchen and several storerooms

A forge

A stable for three horses

Two master bedrooms and two guest bedrooms

Several servants’ quarters

On the grounds: a chicken coop, a vegetable garden, beehives, training dummies for sword fighting, and archery targets

Special thanks:

A huge thank you to @irinaseverinka for the sets Medieval Bedroom, Medieval Functional Warrior Equipment (oh my god, finally some proper fencing dummies, shooting targets, and weapons — the original ones in the game look absolutely terrible), and Medieval Kitchen. These are absolutely stunning medieval-style sets that I want to use in every single build! ✨

And of course, special thanks to @simverses for the Blowtorch — without it, the medieval atmosphere in the world would be completely different. Also, thank you for the huge amount of furniture and clothing conversions from The Sims Medieval — I literally can’t build a single medieval house without them anymore! ✨

This manor is perfect for Sims who are not wealthy enough for a castle, but too well-off for a simple peasant hut.

I tried very hard to convey the feeling of a lived-in but slightly dilapidated place — one that has become quite old-fashioned for its time, yet still fully serves its purpose as a home. Naturally, there are no large windows, balconies, stucco decorations, or other architectural excesses. It is neither a castle nor a rich palace, but despite that, the lot turned out very cozy and atmospheric.

I wanted to capture the visual aesthetic of games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance and The Witcher series. I really hope I managed to achieve that.

Hey everyone!

Sorry for disappearing for so long. The Gothic remake came out, and I wouldn’t be me if I skipped such an event. On top of that, I’ve been learning Blender to create all sorts of cool stuff for the game, so I’ve had almost no time for builds.

But today I finally have something for you — the Old Watch "Dual Towers"!

A crumbling medieval watchtower complex, once guarding the river valley, now slowly being reclaimed by nature.

The outpost consists of two stone towers connected by a wooden gallery and fortified gate. The smaller tower houses modest stables for two horses on the ground floor and a fighter’s platform above. The main tower is much larger and contains:

A deep basement with a well

A blacksmith forge

A kitchen

A great hall

A bathhouse

Two modest living quarters

Barracks and an armory on the upper floor

The entire structure shows clear signs of decay: weathered stone, damaged wooden elements, overgrown vegetation, and a general atmosphere of abandonment. It feels like a place that has stood empty for years — though perhaps it has recently become a temporary shelter for bandits, outlaws, or weary travelers.

Built for Hanford Bagley. Perfect for medieval, dark fantasy, or historical gameplay.

Hello everyone!

Introducing a new lot — a medieval marketplace. As usual, I never have enough lots in the cities, so I tried to cram as many of my ideas as possible into this one.

What’s inside:

Residential rooms

Public baths

Café

Functional sales table

Functional market stalls with ingredients and ready-made meals

Sewing and weaving goods shop

Layout features

There is a kitchen in only one of the residential spaces — the one above the café. This was done for two reasons: to save space and for historical accuracy. In the real Middle Ages most city dwellers didn’t have their own kitchens. They bought ready-made food to take away from bakeries and shops, ate in taverns, and for a small fee could warm up or finish baking prepared food at the baker’s. If you still need kitchens, there is room to add them.

About the baths

I added a hot spring and a massage table. This isn’t entirely historically accurate, of course, but medieval Sims don’t have that many entertainment options, so I decided to give them at least a little treat. Baths themselves did exist in the Middle Ages and were extremely popular: large cities had dozens of them, and there were even bathhouse guilds. They were accessible to all social classes — prices were quite affordable. Besides washing, they also provided medical services, barber services, and often laundry services.

How I made the lot functional in my game

Lot type — Residential with Business. The business is the baths.

Mods I use:

"My Little Neighborhood" by LittleMsSam — lets you combine a residential lot with a park (spawns visitors and up to two sellers for the market stalls), and also open a café and spawn up to two baristas there.

"Functional Registers" by Down-in-simsland — for the sewing shop. It calls a seller who sells the selected product category. Everything else in the shop is decoration.

You can use other mods for trading on residential lots or turn it into another business — it’s entirely up to you. For me this particular setup struck the right balance between functionality and game performance.

If you need a version focused specifically on role-playing a shop, it has a functional weaving loom installed. With it you can create a wide variety of items and then sell them on the sales table.

Hey everyone!

Today I’m showing you a simple but very atmospheric lot — a modest and incredibly cozy medieval farm. The location is just magical: the plot sits right by the waterfall in Hanford-on-Bagley. This is probably the most beautiful and picturesque spot in the area, so I had a lot of ideas for what to build here. In the end, the farm won.

What’s inside:

A small farmhouse (originally designed for two Sims, but you can easily add more beds if the family grows);

A separate bathhouse;

A barn for the cow;

Chicken coops;

Beehives;

A vegetable garden.

In my save, this district is quite deserted and has the status of an “abandoned” area. People who love solitude and quiet tend to settle here. It’s not the safest corner of the map, but for those who seek peace and privacy away from people — it’s perfect.

For now this is a more “realistic” medieval farm, but I already have an idea to make a light fantasy version of this same lot. So maybe I’ll show the second variant soon!

Hello everyone!

I’m already on the home stretch of building Henford-on-Bagley in the style of a medieval town, and today it’s the turn of the inn.

This is a relatively small coaching inn that makes an ideal place for rest and overnight stays. Here your Sims can have a horse shod and leave it in the care of the tavern staff, visit the bathhouse, and play cards. In my vision, local villagers from the surrounding settlements also come here to exchange news and share a mug of beer.

The inn has two common rooms: one a bit more upscale, the other simpler (in medieval inns, common rooms were the norm — everyone slept there regardless of social standing, though nobles could sometimes buy out a room for the night, forcing everyone else to sleep outside). I decided not to torment the Sims and made rooms for two price categories. There are also rooms for the owners and their staff.

The lot has the Bar trait — and in my opinion, the bar is pretty much the only public lot type that works properly in the game. To make the Bar trait function, I placed a TV and a music player styled as a lute in a hidden corner. If the music player feels too anachronistic to you, you can simply hide it in the same corner with the TV.

If you wish, the lot can be converted into a restaurant: the kitchen is already there, you just need to replace the hearth with a chef’s station and add a host stand and a waiter station (@simverses  has excellent medieval versions of these items). But I can’t stand how restaurants work in the game, so almost all of my food-related lots are, unfortunately, bars.
