Update! - sadly the pc I play on could not handle Cotes d'Ambonnay. Sadly I had to uninstall it. So I've recently learned of Cotes d'Ambonnay by simmers xSorcier and Reachsims, no I don't live under a rock - but it came out during a time when I was not feeling well so didn't keep as up on the larger sim related goings on's, and wow just wow no wonder it got featured. Forum thread's here & here for those interested, second thread includes exchange links for builds and some additional files. Plenty of prebuilt houses, and empty lots. Eventually I'll get back around to the Twisted Apoc, or maybe not. Sometimes I feel like I was try to force that save in a direction it just didn't want to go. Fyi for those who haven't already heard the rules for the apocalypse challenge has a new home since wiki is shutting down some of it's pages. https://sims3ac.wordpress.com/ Meet the Founder Tuilelaith (Tuile for short) Flann-Raine Traits: brave, lucky, loves the outdoors, great kisser, workaholic Her name, which was found through Behind the Name, is derived from Irish tuile "abundance" and flaith "princess"; her last name means "red" in Irish Gaelic, and possibly based on the French word reine meaning "queen", according to the website. Her wardrobe is not impressive, as her back story is quite harsh. She was the only child of Queen Flann, who remarried after the death of her first husband to King Raine. Eight years into the marriage the Queen suffered from a fatal accident, whispers suggested that it was no accident. Within less than a year the King took a newer and younger bride. To further cement his off springs succession to the throne he had Tuile branded a slave and sold her off to a far away kingdom. Life being what it is, the universe took revenge on King Raine. The slavers had brought a plague with them, which wiped out the entire population. The crew, sick and barely able to function themselves, sunk the ship during a light gale. Through a miracle of fate, Tuile survived and was washed ashore on a tiny island. Her slaves clothes are much to hot and bulky for daily wear so she salvaged some torn sail cloth for a rough outfit. The irony of course being that her world has just entered a mini ice age. As to why she wasn't starting on the mainland,she is supposed to be unaware that the kingdom was just decimated by plague and is trying to avoid her step-father. Naturally once her shelter is up and she takes a job, she'll learn the truth. However in the interest of keeping herself safe from any remaining plague victims the isolation of the tiny island is in her best interest. Usual network, city hall, big park, library, and the three closest houses on the mainland. I'll be playing on "normal" 90 day sim lifespan. I've used tce unlockOutfits on to get her hair and cave person clothes, I will also be tce'ing her funds to zero day 1, which means she will have to work hard and fast to get a crude shelter up. (Roof lean-to) After that, her funds will fall under the regular apocalypse rules. Another key point where I plan on deviating from regular apoc rules, is that the heir will be moving to either an empty house or lot (depending on available funds) within a day or so of becoming a young adult. For generation 1, aka the founder, all npc's and townies will be getting cas makeovers to fit a medieval time period, but not the future generations. Home sweet home, day 1 - 8:00 am.

The Restrictions
Additional Handicaps - Applies to all generations
Rite of Passage: In order to prove their worthiness as heir, before your sim can marry they must have made at least 4 good friends not including their future spouse. The Age of Aquarius: May only marry (or breed with) sims with compatible zodiac signs The Eyes Have It: All heirs must have the same eye/hair color as the founder. No Country for Old Sims: With a lack of proper healthcare, sims don't live very long and easily die of common diseases and complications of elder-hood. Elders living more than a few days are a rare occurrence. Change the Elder lifespan of your sims to only 4 days for the entire challenge. Greedy Gangsters: Not only you have to pay the mob on Mondays, now you have to do it on Thursdays too! You must continue your Monday payments even after you lift Criminal. Archives
