Title: Harlech Castle Post by: baddboy on March 25, 2008, 01:27:01 am 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/ (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 Custom Content Included: Pack of FULLY ANIMATED spiral stairs by marvine http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=249237 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=249237) Ladder with custom animations by marvine http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=241795 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=241795) A extra high medieval castle wall, a matching balustrade, and a sword by UK1967 part of Medieval Collection (Part 1) http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=201888 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=201888) Medieval door, chest, sack by UK1967 part of Medieval Collection (Part 2) http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=208325 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=208325) Medieval Stool in Old Wood by UK1967 part of Recoloured Medieval Collection http://linna.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=208379 (http://linna.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=208379) Skeleton On The Wall by gromit http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=95454 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=95454) Sitting Skeleton by gromit http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=95450 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=95450) Just One Of Those Knights by gromit http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=75497 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=75497) Antique Cooking Fireplace by Maylin http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=234925 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=234925) Wood church altar table by DBCAB part of Church Set http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=183075 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=183075) Prisonbar Window by frillen, part of Prison Set 1 http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=223001 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=223001) Buyable wishing well by Numenor and [Black_Spirit] http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=223506 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=223506) Twotile Rounded door by Lethe_s and Corvidophile2; Gate garage by Fresh-Prince part of The Dark Project http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=232462 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=232462) Floor Mattress - Single + Double by Atavera http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1530813#post1530813 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1530813#post1530813) Wall Shield by Lethe_s part of A Midsimmer Night's Dream http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=99584&c=1 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=99584&c=1) Medieval Furniture Sets: Medieval Bathroom, Medieval Part I, Medieval Part II, Medieval Part III by Taroo http://www.tarox4sims2.de/ (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 (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.

Title: Harlech Castle Post by: sora_of_ohio on March 27, 2008, 06:45:42 am Good job! I've been looking for a decent castle for some time now. All the others I've found are either crampt or so big with so many useless rooms it isn't worth the lag. Thanks! Now I have a good castle to use in my "Prince and the Pauper" recreation.:-P
