Within striking distance

I like travelling alone. That way, I've only got one idiot to worry about.

“And you therefore have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one shall take from you.” #easter
A sneak peek at my current Sims 4 build (still far from finished). The idea is that they’ve built a modern museum building all around an old, historic structure to keep it safe from the elements. #sims4 #sims4 #sims4build
Sancte Joseph, ora pro nobis. #stjoseph
My potato PC was all spud and no speed today, so I couldn’t squeeze out more than these few shots of a new Sims 4 build. More to follow next time, if I can get the hardware to cooperate. Now I’m not really keen on contemporary architecture, but I decided that my fictional wealthy European microstate would have put up a ghastly modern showpiece or two at some point in its history - hence this giant, er, ice cube. Fictional background story: “NEUE KANZLEI (New Chancellery): Home of the Kanzleramt (Chancellor’s Office) and the Ministerium für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) of the Grand Duchy of Brückenburg. Completed in 2012, this building is the first example of modern architecture to rise in Brückenburg’s central government district.” #sims #sims4 #sims4build
Some of the interior spaces on the piano nobile of my Sims 4 palace build. Here’s the (fictional) description I initially used on my previous post where I showed the exterior: “Großherzoglicher Palast (Grand Ducal Palace). Official residence of the Brückenburger Grand Ducal Family. The small Renaissance-era "stadtschloss" (city palace) that once stood on this site was enlarged in the mid-19th century on the orders of Grand Duke Karl-Alexander; this project involved the addition of two wings on either side of the old house and a fourth level above, as well as a nearly complete rebuilding of the interiors. The façade has not been significantly altered since that time, but the interiors have periodically been refreshed, most notably in the early 20th century when the principal guest suites were redone in Art Nouveau style on the initiative of Grand Duchess Elisabeth Margarethe (consort of Grand Duke Alois II)." #sims #sims4 #sims4build
Exterior shots of an in-progress Sims 4 build; I'll put up the interiors in separate posts. Here's the (fictional) description: "Großherzoglicher Palast (Grand Ducal Palace). Official residence of the Brückenburger Grand Ducal Family. The small Renaissance-era "stadtschloss" (city palace) that once stood on this site was enlarged in the mid-19th century on the orders of Grand Duke Karl-Alexander; this project involved the addition of two wings on either side of the old house and a fourth level above, as well as a nearly complete rebuilding of the interiors. The façade has not been significantly altered since that time, but the interiors have periodically been refreshed, most notably in the early 20th century when the principal guest suites were redone in Art Nouveau style on the initiative of Grand Duchess Elisabeth Margarethe (consort of Grand Duke Alois II)." #sims #sims4 #sims4build
Sims 4 was running exceptionally slowly on my PC today, so I only managed a few snapshots of this build. Here’s the (fictional) backstory: “ROTES RATHAUS (Red Town Hall). Seat of the local government of Brückenburg City since 1873. The square in front is named Friedrichsplatz, in honour of Grand Duke Friedrich II who funded the building project. A massive renewal (completed in 2010) saw the construction of four subterranean levels beneath the original building and extending out underneath the square, with access via two entrances that descend from Friedrichsplatz and end in a soaring underground lobby. The city government now shares the enlarged complex with 3 ministries of the central government: the mayoral and ministerial office suites in the original 19th-century building; the council chamber, city services, ministry offices and other work areas in the modern underground section.” #sims #sims4 #sims4build
My latest Sims 4 build. Still a work in progress, so let’s save the description and (fictional) backstory for later. Shame about the lack of suitable Gothic elements in the game (hence all the stylistic compromises I’ve had to make), and there’s still no way to change the ceilings from stark white (yes there’s a mod for it, but I don’t use mods). #sims4 #sims4build
