Sheldonian Theatre in the Winter
The Sheldonian Theatre, located in Oxford, England, was built from 1664 to 1668 after a design by Christopher Wren for the University of Oxford. The building is named after Gilbert Sheldon, chancellor of the university at the time and the project's main financial backer. It is used for music concerts, lectures and university ceremonies, but not for drama.
By Fr Lawrence Lew, O.P.

Featherington House
Sorry, this has taken so much longer than expected! While editing my screenshots, I couldn’t help but feel the whole build was lacking.
After rewatching Season 2 of Bridgerton, I expanded this build to include the study as seen in both seasons. I didn’t realize how much green was used in their set design, and I tried hard to stay true to the set design for the interior.
A huge thank you again to the fantastic and talented cc creators @themarblemortal @thejim07 @the-regal-sim @felixandresims @harrie-cc @strangestorytellersims @historicalsimslife @cliffou29 @anachrosims this build would not have been possible!
Click HERE to download the tray files and view the complete cc list used in this build.
Let me know what you think! Happy Simming!

Guess the Captain with my dad
I showed my dad (who's never watched/read One Piece) some images used in @opsidecrewsclash polls and make him guess who is the captain. This are the highlights.
Dad: This's a captainess, the one with blue hair.
Me: Nop, this is the captain *points at Crocodile*
Dad: Oh right, because of the hook.
Dad: Is it pirate J-Lo? *guesses correctly first try*
Dad: *pointing at Shanks* is it the one with hairy legs and shaved chest?
Dad: It has to be one of this two *points at Rayleigh and Roger*
Me: Yes.
Dad:... *points at Roger* That one! He has a captain jacket!
Me: Correct.
Dad: The thing on his shoulder... what's it called?
Me: Shoulder pads?
After a google search we learned they are called epaulettes and he guessed 4 more crews in the first try thanks to them. He also said Rayleigh looked too elegant.
Dad: *points at Big Mom* This one! She has epaulettes.
Me: Nop.
Dad: This one. *points at Whitebeard*
Me: Incorrect.
Dad: This one? *points at Kaido*
Me: Nuh uh.
Dad: *points at Xebec* HIM?! Wow, that's a low profile.
Dad: What's blinding them?
Me: They are Luffy's fans. Luffy's smile blinded them.
Dad: Are you serious? *guessed correctly first try*
Dad: Who are these guys?
Me: I can't tell you.
*After pointing at Katakuri*
Dad: *points at Big Mom* it can't be this one.
Me: Why not?
Dad: Is she like half octopus?
Me: No XD
Dad: Aren't those suckers? *points at her dress ornaments under her armpit*
Me: No, that's part of the dress.
Dad: So no half octopus?
Dad: ... There's 2- no. There's 3 that look captain-ish.
Me: Okay...
Dad:...This one. *points at Sasaki*
He later pointed at King and then Kaido and asked what King do.
*After pointing at Baby 5, Sugar, Señor Pink and Machvise*
Me: Look up.
Dad: This one. *points at Pika*
Me: No.
Dad: That one? *points at Diamante*
Me: No, you have to look up.
Dad: *looks at the ceiling*
*After laughing*
Me: *pointing at Doffy* see that thing in the background?
Dad: That is a thing?
