…or at least it’s MY most Epic Sims build of all time. You can judge for yourselves if you’d like. I began working on this MASSIVE undertaking on February 2nd and have worked, little by little, nearly every day since (somewhere around 50 hours and counting). I still have work to finish before I consider it complete, although it is 90-95% finished (whew!) I will be posting progress pics / pics of finished rooms etc. I have most of the interior finished at this point. The landscaping and roofing haven’t really been started yet, although I have plopped some things down here and there.
Now for some background:
I have always been fascinated with Castles and Victorian Era mansions. This build really encompasses everything I picture when I imagine those things. I did find a castle plan called, Foxbridge(hence the name), and I have modeled my build after it. It is close to the layout of the plans, but altered to fit the constraints of the game and tailored to my imagination of what the interior should look like. It’s kind of an amalgamation of different homes in films and documentaries that have inspired me throughout the years.
Sooooo the way this works out in my mind is, Foxbridge was originally a Medieval Castle. It came under ownership of Lord and Lady Foxbridge, who had the castle restored (mostly) during the Victorian Era. I will play through several generations until I get to present day, then I will add some more modern amenities, such as a tv etc.. For now they have to get by with only one computer (so Lord Foxbridge can do his writing)
The Foxbridge Family:
Lord Foxbridge
Lady Foxbridge
Sons Edward (YA) and Thaddius (YA)
Daughter Rebekah (T)
Edward’s Wife Aurora (YA) and their twins, Victoria and Edward II
Live-in Servants Helga, Ilsa and Elsa Von Schtup
