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.

update on Realistic disease mod*

Better get in before you catch deadly cold.

Some days ago I was wondering whether moreawsome- thanyou mod about sickness, was taking things a biiit too far. Like in "98% mortality rate" far. But I guess I should have read the rest of the post before downloading the mod. Yes, there was a problem with this, but in the same post, on page 3 or 4, there is another mod, similar to the first, but with lower mortality rate. I d suggest you to download that one, unless you 're playing a Black Death theme neighborhood!

sims 2 realistic sickness mod

Well THIS can go wrong!

I doanloaded the "sims realistic sickness" mod that can be found here  because my Sims didn't die enough(!)in my medieval themed neighborhood. So what could go wrong with a small rise in the death numbers, afterall I needed this realism.
 Then I went to my main family, the Greyvels. There were 6 of them. Two granpas, two cousins and their wives. Soon there was just one left (you can see him in the pic, wondering about to be or not to be) the rest died (the one woman was expecting, too) no matter how I tried to keep them alive. Was it just me? Was it that family? In conclusion, download with caution!

Nice hictorical downloads for Sims2

Are you ready for your historical theme neighborhood? Make sure you visited the following sites, before you start building and decorating! 

www.medievalsims.com/ -It has everything for the dark ages and renaissanse.

Cradle of darkness - there are historical themed downloads, and goth themed stuff.

search for the old stuff of all-about-style amd tarox sims. These sites are closed (for sims2) but used to have amazing cc. 

The simpler rules

Just some leisure time before the next chickenpox epidemic

As I previously stated, this challenge was created by Heloise (M3g7e @modthesims) and it is a completed and fascinating work that can be found >>here<<. Still it is quite hard and I admire those who goes by the book. Tbh, I couldn't so I modified those rules to a simpler, easier version that can be found >>here<<. But you should know that it is an excel file, 2003 edition, so there is a possibility that it won't open.

The first day

 My very first post in this blog! So let's start from the very essential. I am Naya, known as 'grecadea' in my Sims2 creations. I play sims since I was 13, and it's been a looong time since then. Though I used to create stories and gameplays for years, *this* is actualy the first time I started a Sims challenge from internet. 

Here, I ll post interesting stories and pics I like. Also there will be links to nessesary, useful, nice mods and other historical themed stuff, since the challenge is set in 1600's.
I hope that others may try the challenge too, it's a fascinating but difficult challenge. You can find it here >>>@modthesims and was created by M3g7e.

Soon I ll create a different, -a little bit easier- way to play this, with simpler rules. Still I d recommend you to try M3g7e's for a richer, harder game. Plus, her work on this challenge is huge, and deserves a lot of cudos!
