ULTIMATE Decades Legacy | Sims 4 | Ep 2 1301-1302 Blacksmithing & Visit to Red Dragon Inn

[@MelJames]

Just FYI for all those who are doing this challenge, the earliest pregnancy test evidence we have comes from ancient Egypt in 1350BCE. A papyrus described a test in which a woman who might be pregnant could urinate on wheat and barley seeds over the course of several days: “If the barley grows, it means a male child. If the wheat grows, it means a female child. If both do not grow, she will not bear at all.” Testing of this theory in 1963 found that 70 percent of the time, the urine of pregnant women did promote growth, while the urine of non-pregnant women and men did not. So, doing pregnancy tests for this challenge is technically historically accurate. Hope this helps!

[@stoneytower]

that is super interesting! the people of ancient egypt never cease to amaze me

[@gigibearplays]

wow i didn’t know this and that is so cool!!!! thank you for sharing that. us women promoting crop growth… we really are magical beings

[@avaavs3235]

Omg imagine you can play with horses once the new pack comes out! It’d be perfect for medieval gameplay!

[@kosmichippie]

It's going to be SO GOOD!!!

[@dianaselnekovicova948]

And goats too. I am really looking forward to it

[@cindythemtflou]

Righttt

[@higglety230]

For the butter, once you make it you have to take servings out of the bowl before the mod will recognize that you have it.

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you!!! I’ll have to try that out 😁

[@blackbeautysister3]

@@kosmichippie for flour to I think? I havent played in a while but I'm pretty sure that was it.

[@higglety230]

@@blackbeautysister3 Yup, flour too. It's kind of a pain. I always just queue up a ton of "pick up servings" until the bowls are empty and then I put the individual servings in the larder/cabinet/fridge.

[@sunaereilly7809]

Oh thanks! I was wondering why I’d made so much butter but it wasn’t recognising I had it 😂

[@justyouraverageweirdo]

You can actually make salt by getting salt water from the docks (an option under the sign post you've been using for hunting and foraging so far), and then using the new option that should be on the stove. You can also make food that doesn't spoil using it, like salted meat. You can also sell most of the things you forage or hunt at the cottage living town farmer's stalls. There's also a mod from icemunmun that allows you to grow wheat and turn the wheat into flour, and it's compatible with the medieval cooking mod you've been using so far.

[@kosmichippie]

OMG this is so helpful, thank you! I was wondering what the salted water was for. I’m definitely going to add that in to the next episode!

[@troyfranklin1789]

wow, im so impressed by the amount of effort you put into making your sim world look genre! it blows my mind that you're going to do the same for other decades too, I'm so excited to see more from this series and super inspired to do it myself.. though I'm not sure I have the patience you do, so I may have to live vicariously through you

[@kosmichippie]

yesss....I hate when glitches break the immersion. Most of it I just edit out but I thought it was too funny and random to take out the part of the Queen. I have a couple of ideas to work that into the storyline down the line... I will definitely be fleshing out their backstories as we go through the gameplay. I introduce a new character in the next episode that gives a tiny bit of backstory. I usually like to play with the Sims for a little while then I start to get a feel for their personalities and can develop their stories more!

[@nibblesxsips]

So excited for the 70s!

[@jessieg.6565]

There is a mod called home regions where you can set which towns can visit. So only your sims will be there. Also you can use mcc dresser to disable non medieval clothing so random townies wont annoy you. Loving the lets play so far!

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you! I have the home regions mod I just haven’t added enough sims so it still populates new sims but once I get enough added we’ll be good to go! AND I will definitely be looking into how to do the thing with clothing!

[@melancholygirl7793]

I'd switch up Rosa's hair to tied up braids. That would keep her hair knot free, clean and be more historically accurate.

[@elisec3405]

A combination of zero’s “no random townies” and lotharihoe’s “sim spawn overhaul” will keep only the sims you want to show up in your save. They’re only slightly complicated to implement, but luckily both of the creators have very detailed mod descriptions. In love with this series, btw. 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@StoryGirl83]

12:32 I think it makes more sense to age the baby up and then do the dice roll. This isn’t actually how they are, but it makes sense to me that they die because something went wrong when they aged up. Again, not how it actually is, but that’s how it seems since we do roll at those time rather than random smaller odd rolls while they are in those ages. And yes, the roll that says “babies” is when they are born and roll that says infants is when they age into being infants. I’ve seen a few simmers who roll both of these, since the baby stage only lasts a day, when the baby is born. I know one simmer who rolls all aging rolls when each new baby is born so she knows exactly how long each sim will survive outside of maternity rolls, and things such as famines, decease, and war.

[@Red-ff8ly]

As a history nerd I actually love this

[@midnightmeadow9168]

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you so much!!

[@zita5976]

I've been saying it for a while and I will say it again, it would be a lot of time (and money) but imagine how cool it would be in the sims4 if when you press "new game", a text would show up (kinda like when you choose which season you want to start in) and it would ask you to choose a time period to play in back to the 1300's to the present, and based on your choice you'd get different CAS items, build mode items, jobs, interractions, recipes etc. Without mods. It will probably forever stay a dream but IMAGINE 😭

[@kosmichippie]

That is a game I would play!

[@synsvids]

I've been wanting to have my sims try to live in medieval times, so this challenge is actually a pretty good find! I really like the clothing and furniture cc, and the tax collector's last name being McCrook is just comical

Your sims household has to own the selling table for it to work. Purchase it when you are on your home lot, put it into your sims inventory, and then travel to the community lot.

[@RosalineDaisy]

I was looking at popular medieval pet names and Venus came up i think it'd be a nice name for the cow :)

[@katiecatsims]

New favourite series to watch!! There’s a mod by zero called ‘no random townies’ that prevents the game spawning new townies that could be useful if you don’t want non medieval sims spawning during gameplay, it would just mean that you’d need to add your own if you need any specific roles 😊

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you! I was looking into but I wasn’t sure how to set it up but I’ll watch some videos on it to see if I can get it working cause I would love that level of control. I also have the Home Region mod so at least I’m limiting specific sims to Windenburg!

I can’t believe you just started KZbin, you’re a natural!! I’m very picky when it comes to sims videos and I’m obsessed!! Idk if you feel comfortable using a webcam to show your face while playing, but if you do, you should do so!! Most viewers like seeing your reactions to certain things and it’s just easier to “connect” 😊 Can’t wait to see more videos

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 that means si much cause I’m also super picky! I’m 100% fine showing my face. I stream 4 nights a week on twitch with face cam. I just want to get my editing process down a bit before I do face cam cause I don’t want it to be extra jumpy when I make the cuts, if that makes sense. But I’ll add face cam soon!

You should download the mod that stop respawning the random townies, you can make sims (for this challenge) and put them in your library and they will respawn, i did this and like i’m no longer bothered with the random townies, the only thing it did was respawning townies from my library which is so much better than the random ones!

[@plushygun]

Creator "nervelli" on "modthesims" made a mod called "Infant Rug Override" that has a no rug file. That way, you don't get the mat/rug everytime an infant is placed down. Also, love this series. ^^ 🤍 Also, with the MCCC mod, you can set the MC Population and make the townies spawn from your gallery only. That way you don't get random Sims spawning in. For the Flea Market table, I believe that issue happens a lot if it isn't a *collected* item (eg. with foraged items from a dumpster or gifted items, the issue occurs). Also, unsure if you did this, but: select "clear table" just in case, place the items on the table, and then select "tend table."

[@kosmichippie]

THANK YOU! You don't know how much I cannot stand that infant rug even in regular gameplay so def snagging that. And I'll test that out with the marketplace table!

"Take care of the diaper for mom"? That's his child too!

I'm a new godparent so this hit home lol Anyway I'm really enjoing this series, so glad was in my recommended. Makes me want to play Sims Medieval so bad but it doesn't work on my new laptop 😭 Such a good game. These look like really fun (if time-consuming to set up!) mods though. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@kosmichippie]

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! It's definitely important to speak on the equal responsibility between parents. I was definitely just taking more of the "medieval perspective" but I really don't even like following those things even in challenges even if that's how it was at the time. I really appreciate you calling it out and bringing awareness to the topic! 🥰 Also I couldn't get Sims Medieval to work on my PC either about a month ago so that's mainly why I started this challenge instead...I wonder if something is just wrong with it. I'm in the process of adding more lots to my game then I may release my save file but it will definitely be mod/cc/PC heavy unfortunately just due to the nature of it

This is such a gorgeous Let's Play. I've subscribed and will definitely follow along. As i commented on episode one, i get that it would be tempting to give then a horse when the pack comes out, but honestly there is no way that a medieval family as poor as this would have a horse - in reality even pulling a small cart would be a donkey at best, and a plough would be drawn by a bullock. Which is not helpful since these aren't available in TS4. They might have a goat though!

[@kosmichippie]
