Sims 2 Lore - Shakespeare in Veronaville: Romeo and Juliet (Part 2)

[@brightea]

"look at the capp manor for instance" AND HOW IT TAKES 7 HOURS TO GET TO THE SCHOOL BUS AND NO SINGLE GARDENER CAN KEEP IT NEAT EVER was all i could think about :'')

i've been playing tybalt for quite a while now, he's the reason i watched both videos, i've played him all the way through university where he founded his own greek house and it reached level 6 quite easily (had both romeo and juliet living in it at some point), he's been perma-platinum for most of his adult life, he's about to become an elder soon and he drank the elixir of life quite a lot so that's something, when i first loaded the capp manor and he broke his parents(?) urns due to low aspiration levels i just got that feeling that i could fix him and he was so interesting, he's quickly become my favorite premade sim ever, i'm so surprised to learn about the "king of cats" thing because he's had quite a few in his household, i just felt it fit right for him to have cats, and yet even though he's even "ok" with romeo right now, has a great relationship with his sisters, countless friends, an outstanding reputation he still won't take shit from anyone, i have both ACR and Romantic Standards and when a random townie girl flirted with his husband oh boy... i knew she had it coming so bad, poor thing

Veronaville, the only place where baked alaska can be a weapon. 👀​ I think Romeo could have a Soulmate aspiration (featured in The Sims 4). He's young and already a very passionate partner... And Juliet is as passionate as him ! In The Sims 2, i think i would give him the Hopeless romantic trait (a mod that converts sims 3 traits) to make him faithful and keep his Romance aspiration. I feel like Maxis give us this Family/Romance pairing just to create a different dynamic from the play and make Veronaville a bit more chaotic.

[@letomills]

Yep, hopeless romantic would definitely fit him ^^

I think Contessa is supposed to be a female version of King Lear. She has three daughters her favorite is her youngest (Cordelia), after Cordelia's death she died of a broken heart. This could explain why Juliette is the heiress and not Goneril or Miranda. Goneril and Regan might have been disinherited because they are money hungry as they are both Fortune Sims, while Cordelia is a Family Sim. I never put the Isabella thing together until this video. I really enjoy these videos and hope you continue to make them!

[@letomills]

Oh yes that makes sense for Contessa! The link between her and Lady Capulet was uh a bit tenuous, thank you for setting me straight. I'll get to talk more about Contessa in the King Lear episode then ^^ Thank you for your support, I'm definitely excited to keep going with the series :)

Hi friend, I highly enjoyed this series; will the other episodes be released some day? I understand it's a lot of work ! Thanks ❤

[@letomills]

I honestly don't know. I burned myself out pretty badly working so intensively on this series and on videos in general. I want to get back to it but energy levels and mental health are a struggle so no promises.

@@letomills take care, in the meanwhile i am enjoying oaken hill 🥰

Hi, could put into description the link from which you got the cat-fox? 1:09:23 Also loving this series, you give me so much joy from playing veronaville, that I can't even describe ^^

[@letomills]

Hi, glad you like the serie! ^^ Sorry, I don't have a download link for the cat-fox, I just made it at the time and that neighbohood is gone by now so I can't even extract it anymore. But you should be able to roughly recreate it in CAS without any CC, I didn't use any.

[@gachahorror7925]

Well second comment for this in thesite talking of it the person say it was a bit based on Midsummer nights dream as people think Puck is Lysander as Hermia is in love with him and that Mercutio is a bit the Demetrius of the story and Miranda is a bit the Helena despite being from different play but the story seem based on that as it can take time for Mercuto finally have feelings for Miranda and love her.

Your Veronaville looks so super pretty! I can't get enough of all the time and effort you put into each of these videos. The research, the time to build and play everything out. Man my hat goes off to you! Did you make all these builds yourself? :0 I think another reason why some of the older generation may call themselves old when they aren't is because of the time this was written in. Back in the day being in your 20s and 30s could already be considered old because it was common to die very young and only few reached their 60s.

[@letomills]

Part of it could be that, for sure. Thank you so much! I did build everything from scratch but since the majority of these houses are empty shells, it didn't take as much time as it might seem. It was a nice reprieve from all the reading, scripting and most of all filming, which took the longest by far 😄

[@Lisspeed]

@@letomills I can definitely understand that yeah! It does look super cool! I had a Veronaville story with a twist but ended up abandoning it after I left the Sims fandom for multiple reasons. But man killing of Sims and going with a forbidden love between Tybalt and Mercutio that resulted with one having to live without the other sure was a fun road to walk. xD
