Create Ye old pharmacy, and more...

With all the diseases and the poor hygiene of the old times, the pharmacies were really useful. So there were at least one of them in the big cities of my country . I bought the shelves and the clutter to decorate the shop. Then I downloaded the ***usable*** potions come with several effects when a sim drinks them.

Avenging Ameera

The Greyvels used to live in a big manor together. The cousins were growing up, while forging tight bonds to each other. So did Bruce and Ameera. They were not similar. Bruce was spontaneus and loved fights and adventure, while his introvert young cousin stayed in the house. But he loved her so much, because Ameera had a heart of gold.

The years passed by and she got married to a nice man.

Ameera continued her kinds acts and she visited a lot the prisons and the hospitals of the city. In one of her visits she met a noble troublemaker. Earl Roger Stevens was in prison for picking a fight after a card game. He was a charming womanizer and soon set his eyes to Ameera.

The poor woman could not resist. She fell deeply in love with him but his feelings were not the same. After his rejection Ameera died of broken heart.

Bruce could not accept it! 

He would take revenge by destroying the Stevens family. He became friends with Roger and he seduced his beautiful and kind wife Ciara. But unlike Roger, he had true feelings for her. He decided to elope with her and never look back to the past, but the plague of 1666 took both his and Ciara's life.
