Lot - Agios Ioannis Orthodox Church

Life is short, especially for the sims, and the orthodox sims needed a place to bury their loved ones. So they built this little chapel in a secluded part of town, and very soon the marble "tafos" became inhabited by the deceased.

The little chapel is built in honor of Agios Ioannis, or St. John if you like, and here the sims can find a quiet moment or grief. Or maybe they prefer to have a little picnic, close to their family members.

Lot - Norwegian Wood Holte

This large farm would be suiting for your extended sim family, and has a lot of space outdoors and indoors, in four different buildings. The yellow building would be perfect for the grandparents, where they could have their privacy, and still be close to their loved ones. The gray building is more modern, and could easily hold a family of four, or more, if you wish. As if this wasn't enough, you could use the extra space in the old barn and the pole granary (stabbur). A hottub in the granary? Art studio in the barn? If you have Pets, maybe knock down the barn door and make it a stable? Or if you want to make a living as a tatooist, designer or stylist and need some space for that? It's up to you!

Lot - Norwegian Wood Brekke

Any city sim does from time to time dream about a lovely place in the countryside, with fresh air and a lot of space. Most sims doesn't do anything about it, but some might grab the chance if the right place turned up. And maybe it is this one?

Lot - Norwegian Wood Klepp

Building your dream home in a mountain landscape is not easy. The rocky hills and many small streams are challenges for housebuilders, but it also has a magnetic beauty. It was common in Norway to build the houses half hidden into the hill, this gave good protection of wind and snow.

Lot - Victorian House Anno 1888

Not all sims can afford to live in huge mansions. That does not mean that their house can not be elegant. So is the case with this small city house, perfect for a young couple. Or maybe your old auntie or uncle? I'm sure they would be quite comfortable in this little villa whether it is in the beginning or towards the end of their grown up life.

Lot - Victorian House Anno 1887

We need more Victorian houses, don't you think? Here's the first of three brick houses (1885, 1886, 1887). Two of them also looks really good in a row.

Lot - Agia Sophia Orthodox Church

In some simtowns there is a community with Greek origin (like my Kefalonian neighbourhood), and where there are Greeks, there is of course at least one Greek Orthodox church. The Greek sims are very proud of their old church from the byzantine period, and they use it frequently. Obviously they go to church to pray or light a candle, but it is of course the natural center for any big, Greek, fat wedding, and the obvious place to meet at the important village- and church celebrations; the Panegyri.

Lot - Simtown Lutheran Cathedral

The protestant community in Simtown worship their old, lavish Cathedral from 1860. Of course it is mostly used for funerals and moments of grief, but many families also adore the large park surrounding the Cathedral, and use it subsequently for a nice Sunday picnic. In the church they are able to hear the Sunday preach, spend a moment of silent prayer, or just listen to some lovely church music.
