Harlech Castle is an example of a concentric castle. The castle was built (between 1283 and 1290) for Edward I by his master mason James of St George.
Its nucleus is a quadrangular inner ward surrounded by a high curtain wall with strong round towers at the corners and a powerful gatehouse in the middle of the east side.
The floor-plan of the castle is based on the Shawn J. Brown's series of plans for Harlech Castle at
http://shawnbrown.com/maps/, and features a Great Hall, Kitchen, Bakehouse, Chapel and Granary.
The lot comes fully furnished and I have also included an unfurnished lot if you prefer to do your own decorating. Once again I have tried to keep close to the period and you will find no electronic devices such as telephone, fridge, TV, etc.
Statistics:Required Episodes: I have included two furnished versions:
1) Harlech - Furnished - Seasons which requres the Sims 2 Holiday Edition, University, Nightlife, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons
2) Harlech - Furnished - AL which requires all expansion packs from the Sims 2 to Apartment Life. (ceilings that are more appropriate to the era have been used)
3) The unfurnished version was built with all expansion packs from the Sims 2 Holiday Edition to Free Time installed.
Stuff Packs: Happy Holiday Stuff, Glamour Life Stuff, Family Fun Stuff
Lot Size: 5x5

http://www.tarox4sims2.de/Recommended Downloads:1) To complete the castle I recommend that you download the Blacksmith Set by buntah
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/sims2/sets.htm, which I have not been able to include with the lot.
2) For the Bakehouse I recommend that you download the Bakeable Country Bread, part of the Dark Project. You can find this in Post 11: New object meshes.
I would like to say thank you to the above creators for allowing their content to be included in lots and I apologize if I have forgotten anyone.
If you have any problems with the castle, such as the lot not showing up in the Lots and Houses Bin, please let me know.
