This is a recolour of the Holy Simoly (http://www.holysimoly.com/) Private Collector Plate. I have used the Straight Up version with the Ancient Greek design on it. You will need this mesh for the recolour to appear in your game. To locate the mesh, click on 'Objects' of the Holy Simoly Downloads area, then click on 'Decorative'. The Private Collector Plate currently appears on Page 12.

The collector plate shows "The Garden of the Hesperides" which was painted in 1892 by Lord Frederic Leighton.

To find the object in the game, click on Decorative and Sculptures. It costs about §1250.

The collector plate is Basegame compatible. (A very huge thank you to Numemor for the AnyGameStarter/BaseGameStarter which has enabled me to check this).

I have two questions regarding uploads:

1) What is the maximum file size for zip and rar files when posting new uploads to this site?

2) Can we use off-site links to MediaFire, if for example a Residential/Community Lot exceeds the file size limit for uploading them here?

Hi,

I tried to upload an item to the Recolours section of the site, but got the message that the Uploads Folder was full, when I tried to post it.

Here are 5 more paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. They are from his The Months cycle of paintings in which he portrayed the progress of the seasons of the year and the rustic activities associated with them.

They, like my other Paintings by Pieter Bruegel the elder, use justmoi's "Majestic Glamour" mesh. You need the New Mesh "Majestic Glamour" Painting to have these paintings appear in your game.

They require the Base Game and at least one other Expansion Pack to appear in your game.

My castle walls were a bit bare so I decided to create this series of paintings.

These paintings are from the Très Riches Heures  (or a book of hours) which was a 15th century illuminated manuscript. This was a collection of the text for each liturgical hour of the day - hence the name - which often included other, supplementary, texts. Calendars, prayers, psalms and masses for certain holy days were commonly included. The images are from the calendar section of the Très Riches Heures. More information about Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry and what each scene depicts can be found at WebMuseum, Paris.

All twelve images are found underneath "Sent to My Room Without Dinner" from the Nightlife Expansion pack.


Policy:
You can use these paintings in Lots/Houses, Stories etc if you include credit & a link but:
DON'T upload these to pay sites
DON'T upload these to the Exchange
DON'T claim them as your own.

Thank you to:
Quaxi and the team for SimPE,

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.

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.

Over the past month I have become obsessed with reading about and building castles.

The square keep castle was the immediate successor of the motte-and-bailey castle. These castles were built of stone and became common in the 12-th century. Examples of this type of castle include Hedingham Castle and Rochester Castle.

The keep was commonly three or four stories high. The castle was accessed via the first floor for security reasons. This floor contains the Chapel, Great Hall and the Solar. The Solar is it lord's private room and frequently his bed-chamber.

The ground floor contains the castle kitchen, Hall for the knights and garrison quarters, a store-room and the dungeons.

The top floor contains suites for the lord's family and other important guests staying at the castle. Above this is the roof and battlements.

The keep is surrounded by a curtain wall. In the corner tower at the rear of the castle, latrines jut out over the moat.

The lot is fully furnished, and once again I have tried to keep this lot as close to the period as possible. I have made slight modifications to take into account the Sim's need for privacy while bathing. Therefore, you will find no electronic devices such as fridge, computer, TV, phone or fire/burglar alarm in this lot.

A copy of the lot has been play-tested for two seasons to ensure that all parts of the castle were accessible, and that the fruit from the trees was able to be harvested. The moat is fishable and at times the Sims have wanted to fish from within the latrines or the courtyard.

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.

This is an imaginative reconstruction of a motte-and-bailey castle. These castles were first seen in Normandy and England in the 11-th century. The castle consists of a wooden tower on an earth mound connected to a bailey or courtyard.

The courtyard known as the bailey contains the stables, great hall, kitchens, chapel and two peasant huts.

A wooden tower stands on the motte or mound which has been made by piling up earth excavated from the ditch. The tower, which can only be entered at first-floor level by a ladder, contains the lord's living-room, with sleeping chambers above and a cellar below.

I have tried to keep the lot as close to the period as possible, so therefore you will find no electronic devices such as TV, computer, fridge, fire alarm etc on this lot. To maintain the historical accuracy you might like to download the Fade Industries "Seasoned" Pantry from http://djssims.com/, "which is a specially modified fridge that will only allow you to store home grown fruits and veggies, or fish caught from the pond. Additionally, it does not come with any food like every other Maxis fridge."

Help! One of my lots is possessed! It's creepy and it's kooky and it's driving me nuts.

Martin Pleasant, his wife Danielle Pleasant and the maid were killed in a fire which started while Martin attempted to fix the stereo. Their two teenage sons, Seth and Angelo, survived. Seth immediately smashed the urnstones. The lot was saved and exited.

The next time I opened and played the Pleasant house strange and freaky things began happening:
1) My sims don't walk to the fridge or walk to the kitchen to make the food. Instead they stay in one spot and make the food by remote control;
2) My sims don't walk up and down the staircase - they walk in midair;
3) any visitors to the lot jump to the front door or front yard when leaving;
4) when I told Angelo to sleep in his underwear he changed and went rigid in the living room in front of the TV and floated or jumped to the bed.

The attached thumbnails are actual screenshots of the problems that I've had.

Has any one had this problem and if so can it be fixed? Or do I have to uninstall and re-install the game again?

I have the Sims 2 Holiday edition, Uni, Nightlife, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons and Bon Voyage. I also have the Family Fun Stuff and Glamour Life Stuff Pack installed.
