Sim - Fiona Grey's children

Some time ago I joined a Round Robin Legacy at Simssupernova, where Fiona Grey was voted to be the legacy founder. I had the honor of writing the story of the first generation, and Fiona turned out to be a interesting lady. She had four children (of which Nora was voted to become the legacy heir) and I thought it would be fun to make them available for download. You can read about Fiona and follow the legacy here. Or you can just download her children and make your own stories of course!

Story - Miss Grey is keeping me busy



Hello everybody! I just wanted to let you know why it has been rather silent on the blog lately, in case you wondered. I'm not sick or anything, I'm just busy in RL and I've taken on a challenge at SimsSupernova, so there is simply no time left for building at the moment! On the other hand I really enjoyed this challenge, and Fiona Grey has turned out to be a really interesting lady!

You can read the story at SimsSupernova or here at my blog.

As for building, I probably wont be able to upload anything until July/August, since I will spend my summer holiday at a place where I don't have access to my Sim computer. But when I return I will hopefully be full of of inspiration, energy and new ideas!

Have a wonderful summer everybody!

Lot - M47 Vidar the Houseboat

"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea." – Karen Blixen
The ocean is a tough master, but to live on a boat has it advantages. First of all you are always close to the sea, and what could be better than that?

Lot - The Gospel Hall

In the old days people gathered at the Gospel Hall, not just to hear the gospel, but to have coffee and chat and have fun and eat and gossip and flirt and make friends. It was one of the few places were a honorable woman could meet an honorable man, and still keep her honor. I've made this one a diner, so no sim will leave hungry, neither in a physical nor spiritual sense.

Lot - Maggies Guest House (apartment)

In the 19th century a single woman or man usually stayed with their family until they got married. If they should want to move, it would probably be to a guest house like this, a small house with long term tenants. In the 21st century it is common for young people to share a house or a flat, much in the same manner.

Lot - Maggot Road 13 apartments

A common way of living in Scandinavian cities is to live in one of these 19th century apartment buildings. It is a relatively inexpensive and social way of city living, enjoyable and practical. Some buildings are beautifully decorated, and some more simple, but still colorful and charming, like this one.

Lot - The Country Clinic

In small villages it would be more appropriate with a small clinic rather than a big hospital, don't you agree?This modest lot is exactly that (provided you have the CC). It also has it's own "pharmacy" (Elixir shop), it's all very practical for your sims. And for you of course.

Lot - Victorian Anno 1896


This Victorian house is influenced by the Norwegian Dragestil architecture, which was very popular at the end of the 19th century. You can still find houses like this in Oslo and other Norwegian cities, and in Midnight Hollow and Hidden Springs of course... It is CC free by the way!

Info - What's happening?

Hello everybody,

I hope the new year have been starting out really well for you!
For me this winter has been a struggle with a lot of health issues I'm not going to bore you with. It is going better now, but unfortunately my illness is chronic (but not dangerous). I will have good and bad periods, but they are non-predictable, so from one day to the other I might be "out of the game" for a number of weeks.

As for updates and activity on this blog I don't want to make any promises. I still enjoy building houses when my health is good, and will share them whenever I'm up to it, and if I think the building deserves it. Updates will not happen as often as in earlier years, and there might be three in a row and then silence for weeks or months. Sorry for that!

At the moment I can't see any possibility for updates of The Anno Chronicle or other stories, but you never know, a miracle might happen!

Be good, take care of yourself and your loved ones, and enjoy your simming!
Hugs,
KyriaT
