The old, 1800's style country church has weathered the test of time and, despite it's age, is still is as solid as the messages that have been shared from the pulpit. It's built on a 5x5 community lot.
It's over-all simplicity stands in stark contrast to more ornate architecture, but it is this humble structure, reminiscent of a purer time of faith, that stands as a testament to scriptural truths.
Let's take a tour of the place!
Joy. Laughter. Tears. Weddings, funerals, picnics on the lawn, and baptisms in the lake--all the memories that have meant so much--have happened here in this peaceful country setting. It's a place for friends to gather, caring words to be spoken, and a base for larger community outreach.
This landmark is surrounded by trees, and old nature trails that meander through the woods. It's the perfect place to hear the birds sing, sit by the water reading the Good Book, and to remember where the true meaning of life comes from.
Right now the old church is dressed up for a wedding, but you can remove the arch and flower decorations for a more authentic feel.
This lot is CC-free which is why the podium is one of the career reward objects. You can find a buyable version without the cringy teleprompter screens in this set over on Mod the Sims because being a minster should never be about the money or charismatic personalities.
Congregational singing with instruments was just starting to become popular in the 1800's. Many old churches did not have a piano or organ, but I've added the piano and violin to this lot to give some more interest to the front platform.
The balcony is a lovely place to sit and listen to the beautiful acoustics, and appreciate the rustic beams that make up the upper part of the roof.
The bell tower is empty since there is not anything comparable in the game. You can find a very simple bell at the end of this thread on Mod the Sims if you'd like to put one in.
I built this lot based on historical pictures of churches from the 1800's. This version is a bit larger than most of that era. A lot of the churches at the time did not have anything more than a main sanctuary area, but I've included bathrooms for convenience's sake.
1st Floor: On this level there are bathrooms, and the main sanctuary.
2nd Floor: There's a balcony near the bottom of the image, the rest of the level is open to the sanctuary below.
This lot is CC-Free, but All EPs and SPs are required.
I’ve run this lot through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run it through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄
Default Replacements Shown: Purple Lupin shrub from @peppermint-ginger If you don’t have these in your game your Lupin will be blue.
I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.
Goth Manor makeover (Part 3) Bottom floor
Today my game crashed around 20 times in 3 hours and I saw pink flashing 5 times.
I can't f#cking play it so I can't post anything.
On Friday Jerzy came from school and Melody found out that he's grades are bad.
"You wanted to go on studies! You have to work on your grades! We pay for your private school and they can kick you out if you won't do the homework!"
"Y-yes... yes mom. You're right..."
Dirk came from work and his wife talked with him about their son's behavior.
"I'm really worried about our son. He stopped learning and he needs to work on his grades. You know how badly he wanted to go on studies."
"I know, honey. I think a lot of happened and he can be overwhelmed. He just lost his favorite granparents... Jerzy needs some time."
"But I also think that your talk helped a lot."
I've got only three weddings in the last round.
First one was Justyna Ottomas and Shea Johnston. They married quietly in their office with pyjamas and tracksuit on. So romantic.
Finally Syriusz Gieke (alien baby of Chester Gieke) knelt down and asked Simona Tinker if she wants to be his wife. Of course she said "yes!" Next day they had a wedding and I love the face of Tessa Gieke when she saw the ceremony.
It took so long for Benjamin Long to find someone who can fill the place after Brandi. He met Rebeka Lico (a witch) on a community lot and immediately fell in love. They had a small wedding in the backyard.
The last ones were Paulina Picaso and Miłosz Ottomas. He also realized that he wants to be with her and raise little Ernest.
Beautiful stuff. Now I can find a way to have less crashing and pink soups in my game.
Would you say they are siblings?
Witold & Magdalena Newson (Lilith Pleasant and Gavin Newson's children)
Mirosława was so happy that Kamil moved to her house. She felt lonely after her father died and Miłosz moved to Picasos' house. She missed her now-fiance and she had waited so long for him to finish his degree. Mirka loved him so much and didn't want to treat him as her bigger sister treated her husband. It was true love.
He took an old cat from his home and agreed to take another one from the shelter.
They started to feel like a true family. They only needed a wedding. But it was hard to do because they were working on different days and different hours so it was difficult to come up with the date. Mirosława and Kamil decided to get married without anyone, just before work.
It was her dream.
Later, on the evening they were still cherishing their new chapter in life.
"I missed you in that dorm." - he whispered. "I missed you in my dad's stupid bakery." - she laughed.
She finally felt safe in someone's arms and received something good in life. Mirosława can leave the past behind and be happy with the love of her life. "Do you want to sit on the couch?" - Kamil asked. "Yeah, sure."
"I love you." "I love you, too".
Some kids were born here.
For example Janinka Pleasant (wife of Wiktor pleasant, son of Mary-Sue and Daniel) gave birth two times. First was Daniela (after Daniel) and two days later (like literally) she had twins - Diana and Denis. All of their names starts with D to honor the memory of the biggest d#ckhead in Pleasantview.
They had too small apartment so they moved in to Pleasant Manor, living with Angela and Jacek and their son moved to Janinka and Wiktor's apartment.
Next was Mirosława Ottomas, known from my previous series. She got pregnant on vacations with her husband, Kamil and after chilling out on the beach she found out she's pregnant.
She gave birth do Gertruda Gavigan.
The last one is unborn baby Broke who's Wanda Broke. Right before her water broke (hehe), her friend Jaśmina Goth (daughter of Florence Delarosa and Cyd Roseland, now wife of Fryderyk Goth who's a son of Bella and Mortimer) visited her to celebrate a baby bump.
She gave birth to twins - Natalia and Ewelina Burb. Yeah, Franciszek Burb, brother of Lucy, is a father.
I hope you follow. Those things are pretty complicated when you mess up with relationships.
Next stop - THOSE WHO PASSED AWAY.
I managed to fix the game but probably it's temporary.
Currently I'm playing 12 round in Pleasantview. My rounds last 5 days so one season.
A lot of birthdays happened so let me introduce sims with new age.
Felix Ottomas (son of Tommy Ottomas and Kinga who was a townie) is a child now.
And his sister Kamila is a teenager.
Rajmund Williamson (son of Georgia Newson and William Williamson) is also a child. William died after birthday in a fire so now Georgia is a single mother.
Orion Terrano is an adult now. Still living with parents.
Dariusz Pleasant is no longer a baby. He's a son of Eliza (daughter of Brandi Broke and Benjamin Long) and Robert (son of Daniel and Kaylynn).
Kinga Broke (daughter of Ginger Newson and Dustin Broke) is also an adult now, living her best life in Downtown.
Emilia Goldie (daughter of Sergiusz Goldie who is an adopted child of Goldies and a townie who's name in Engligh is not provided but in Polish is Małgorzata Cień) is in her teen stage.
She's now a girlfriend of Olgierd Newson (son of Lucy Burb and Gallagher Newson).
Barbara Ramaswami (child of Hiacynta Picaso and Sebastian Ramaswami) is a toddler and her mother didn't show up for her birthday (more on that later).
Sharla Ottomas can finally retire but not from breaking hearts and finding new love interests.
Angela Pleasant also is now on her final stage of life as her husband, Jacek. Also their son, Paweł is an adult now and switched places with his uncle, Wiktor (more on that later).
Tessa Gieke (maiden name Ramirez) is also an old woman now (I love Alexander Goth in the background)
And last but not least, Małgorzata Goldie also reached her final age stage (I think Olgierd didn't approve).
That's all for now. Next stop NEW SIMS IN THE HOOD.
