Passeth Thy Salt, Please
Some recolours of Cassandre's Tablecloth mesh as requested by Lama.

I wanted to invite everyone to a new blog created by Lama at BPS.  She and I are both medieval download junkies.  We originally "web-met" at a storyblog called the The Kingdom of Lothere and bumped into each other at BPS.  Since there didn't seem to be a dedicated thread for Medieval content, Lama created The Medieval Smithy.  I had just recently began experimenting in recolouring when Lama invited me to share my stuff at her blog.

The most recent recolour I did is called -- Knight's Parade Armour, utilizing Marvine's fantastic mesh, The Converted Maxis Knight.  I had hoped to "reply" to the thread with a link to these new recolours of her work but since that feature wasn't available, I decided to post a new thread here instead.  I hope you'll come and join us at The Smithy.

Ride Into the Sunset with Me... photos by Lama.  Recolours by Wawa.

Thanks victorjones!

Already spied those .... and downloaded them.  Was hoping to find something more along the lines of what the Pope wears during Mass ..... or like the pictures of Cardinal Richelieu.  More of a Byzantine kinda garment.  Well ..... not that Richelieu was Byzantine, of course .....

I'm hoping that some of the excellent meshers might consider creating religious vestments, such as a dalmatic, sticharion or sakkos (excellent references at the Wiki) for medieval Sims.  I've tried to find these on the web, but not much luck in this type of clothing.  Those that I could find are more modern in appearance, or the link has been broken as per the SimsWiki.  If this can be made, I was hoping along the type a bishop/pope might dress in for masses.

Thanks if it's possible ..... and Thanks anyway if not.

How about a dedicated EP that could be "Civilizations" themed -- Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Medieval/Renaissance.  Have neighbourhoods, careers, build mode/buy mode items from that period.  With TS2, some great creations were made encompassing those historical eras, so introduce a "complete" recreation of that time period.

It looks like the download isn't available for this item.  No .rar or .zip files to be seen at first page.

Thanks again ancienthighway.  I didn't know the cheat had to be entered while in the lot.  I kept reading you had to do it from the neighbourhood.  I also wasn't aware of that trick you mentioned, so I'll give that a try.  It won't be for 10 days from now though.  I'll be away from home working so I will let you know how it worked when I get back.  Thanks again.

Thanks ancienthighway.  I thought I had found the culprit but will try again.  I've been checking my CC all week and thought everything was fine.  The situation right now is; I went back into the new neighbourhood that I created (none of my CC etc is loaded yet).  On the universal control panel, the "live mode" and the "up/down-a-floor" toggle(or key, what would one call it?) are still both grayed out .... blank.  I can't access/clik either in the control panel.  Will I need to reinstall the entire game again.  I've been trying to use the cheat to add more floors but not sure if I'm doing it correctly.  Using various typing methods for the "setHighestAllowedLevel" brought me to this "greyed out" problem for the above keys.  I keep seeing various ways to type this cheat in the forums here, but none seem to add floors for building.  Now the "greying" thing.  I hate being this "noob illiterate" when it comes to solving these things.

Hi Everyone.

For over a week I've been reading through all the forums and trying to fix my game.  I have Deluxe, HappyHolidayStuff, OFB, UNI, HMFashion, GlamourLife, Celebration, FamilyFun, Pets and Seasons.  I went away for a few days ... everything was working perfectly.  When I came back, the game wouldn't load up.  It would get to the 4th tile at the startup page, then disappear off the desk top (I prefer playing in windowed mode).  I took out all CC, hacks etc. and tried again.  It disappeared at the same spot.  So, I placed my Downloads and Collection folders to a file on my desktop and reinstalled the whole game, plus BV that I previously hadn't installed due to reading the forums here.  I started to slowly put my CC files into the Downloads folder and start up the game to see if they were compatible -- deleting the cache files that were present.  I would have to reboot my computer after 3 or 4 times testing my CC, I just got so annoyed that I removed all the game programs and reinstalled up to Seasons again.  I would start the game again without CC etc. and the game would load.  It still hesitated at the 4th tile in the startup page, but will finally load to the neighbourhoods.  I tried to create a new neighbourhood, it started loading until it wants to load Pets, then it quits altogether and disappears.  I deleted the whole game again and reinstalled once more.

I did have it working for a short time, so I was building in a newly created neighbourhood, but wanted to have more floors available.  I deleted the neighbourhood from ingame and started a new one.  Then I used the cheat during the neighbourhood mode as I understand where one is to input this cheat.  I typed the cheat as follows ...  setHighestAllowedLevel 8 .... but it didn't allow me to build higher than 3 levels, one being a basement.  I deleted the neighbourhood to start again but now the "Create Family" and "Floor Level" are greyed out.  This is the stage I'm at right now, so I come to you all for help.  

What have I been doing wrong?  What was "going" wrong?  I'm dying to know why it kept doing this.  (Sincere apologies if I don't answer back right away .... I go on tour Saturday for 10 days.)

The following are my computer specs (and I have no idea what it means as you'll probably have guessed ..... now I'm off to play "Rome").

Processor:  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core, Memory: 2048MB, Hard Drive: 320GB, NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE 512.0 MB
