Day twenty-four: An intimate wintery getaway, Harestone Chateau!
With pristine nature walks and breathtaking views, this exclusive mountain lodge boasts a private skating rink, barista coffee, fine indoor and outdoor dining, a cellardoor, a sauna, and three bodies of water for soaking, swimming, and a spot of fishing. Harestone can accommodate up to five guests with balcony access from both rooms, though every year hundreds more flock to the chateau for a touch of the famous lucky giant namesake.
Perfect for Three Lakes, especially nestled in this little empty spot here:
This is a CC-free hotel... or at least, it will be, when you change the lot zoning. For now, it’s a community lot, so you can place it in any type of hood you want, and it still has a mailbox & trash can in case you want to make it residential or a vacation home. If you’ve never done that before, it’s simple! There are step-by-step instructions included in the folder.
(Harestone started off as another 4T2 shell challenge, by the way - I thought the shell kind of reminded me of Freezer Bunny, so I was inspired to make something chilly. Maybe when you download it you’ll see it too...)

Recently installed @plumbtales Three Lakes and am simply blown away by it. I need to take more photos, but for now I did a quick test with the Beltz family (since they basically live that mountainous, Three Lakes life already). Plus, Leo got a couple huge bonuses towards the end of the Law Enforcement career, so they bought Copper Ranch Retreat and visited before Nash grows up and Wilder heads of to La Fiesta Tech.
Maybe it's just been so long since I've seen it, but have I been sleeping on the Log Roller as one of the coolest objects in the game??? Can't wait to explore this vacation hood in more detail.

(forgive the rather basic preview pls i realised i needed to take one too late ok?)
on the twenty-fourth day of christmas, my true love sent to me..... some better three lakes locals!
To complete my trilogy of better vacation locals, 12 townies to replace the maxis locals of any mountain vacation hood, 4 adult males, 4 adult women and 4 teens. all of them have custom faces and accesories unlike the maxis ones. inspired by my friend @viomonty, I've also gave them all cellphones! just add it as a shopping district and delete it after.
Download here!

Huntsville Revived #510
The next morning, the family spent some time outside.
“Hey Dad, what’s that over there?” Ryan asked.
“What’s over where?” Matthew couldn’t figure out what his son was referring to.
*Paf*
“It’s a snowball!” Ryan informed him. His aim had been perfect.
The two started pelting each other with snow. Ryan was much better at it than Matthew, who couldn’t remember the last time he had had a snowball fight.
Meanwhile Katherine was busy making a snow man. It had been a long time since they had had a good snowfall in Huntsville. She was thrilled to be able to tramp around in snow up to her knees.
After playing outside for a while, Ryan started to really feed the cold.
“Ryan! You’re practically blue.” Matthew had told the boy a sweater wasn’t enough in this weather, but hadn’t insisted. “Go inside. Change into something cozy and have a sit by the fire.”
Once in his warm jammies, Ryan did warm up by the fire his Dad set for him.
Then he spent the afternoon inside, warming up and writing in his diary.
“Don’t look!” he told Katherine as she walked past.
“I won’t...this time!” Katherine stuck her tongue out at her younger brother as she went outside.
“You two should be wearing warmer clothes out here,” Matthew commented as he, Liz and Katherine sat by a firepit outside. The snow had been cleared from it.
“And you. Are you sure wearing a suit in this weather makes sense?” Liz asked.
“What else would I wear?” Matthew was befuddled by the question.

This is my renovation of the log cabins in Three Peaks, now called SilverMoon Pines. It took me like 6 hours so lmk if you want it available for download. It has a check-in cabin, complete with a restroom and dining area, a children's play space, hot tub in one of the cabins front garden, fire pit area and a toilet and shower block with the swim showers so you can have multiple sims getting clean at once. As for the lodging, there is 4 total, 2 one beds and 2 two beds. I'll also post pics of the interiors when my tumblr isn't glitching.

General Buzz took himself and his children on a vacation to three lakes. He had a lot to talk about and wanted more time do it. Ripp however was already bored.
“This place is so dark and empty.” Ripp complained to himself as he explored the Hotel. “I really don’t want to share a bed with Buck. I need privacy.”
They quickly got hungry and Ripp ordered room service.
“How was your first semester at school?” Buzz asked Tank.
“It was good, I met a lot of friendly people.”
“How are your grades?”
“They’re pretty good. I have a study group and we all work pretty hard…”
“Are you still working out?”
Tank fought the urge to roll his eyes. “Yeah, all the time, Dad.”
Ripp looked up from his sandwich. “You let him call you Dad?”
Buzz coughed. “Yes. Now that he’s flown the nest we have more of a father-son relationship. He’s the man of his own house now, and I respect that.”
Ripp narrowed his eyes. “Can I call you Dad?” he asked.
“Hmm… We’ll see. All that eyeliner doesn’t really help your case of being a man. Plus, you’re getting a little pudgy.”
“Muscle weighs more than fat.” Ripp said.
“I’m not talking about weight, I’m talking about muscle mass.”
“I like how I look. I don’t want to become buff like you guys.”
Tank spoke up. “I think as long as he’s healthy it’s fine.”
Ripp smiled. “Thanks, Tank. A semester of college has done a lot for your demeanor.”
Tank scoffed. “Maybe. I’ve made a lot more friends at college than I ever did in high school.”
Ripp chewed his food. “That’s good. It’s always good to have friends. After Ophelia and Johnny moved to college I’ve been pretty lonely.”
“I think it’s good that they can’t influence you as much.” Buzz said. “They’re too old to be hanging around a kid like you.”
Ripp grumbled. “Do you ever see them around campus?” Ripp asked Tank.
“No, I haven’t. I’ve seen some aliens though.”
“Really?” Remarked Buzz. “They aliens are trying to learn from us? Don’t they have their own schools?”
“I suppose they do. But isn’t it fun to explore a different culture?” Said Tank.
“Is that why we’re here?” Ripp asked.
“I was hoping all this nature would encourage you and Buck to work out more. And I wanted to talk to Tank.”
Tank finished his sandwich and stood up from the table. “I haven’t seen my littlest brother in a while. I’m going to go see if he’s alright.”
Tank spun Buck around as they both laughed. “I missed you!” Tank admitted.
“You did?” Buck said, grinning from ear to ear. “I was hoping I’d be missed!”
“I’m sorry I never called. I could never find the time outside of school hours.”
“That’s okay. I’m used to not receiving calls. The General bought Ripp a cell phone but I said I didn’t need one.”
“I don’t even have a cell phone.” Said Tank. “The landline suits me fine.”
“Ripp was always on the landline. The General couldn’t make any work calls!”
“Ripp? Hogging the phone? Perish the thought.”
Buck laughed.
“Has your big brother been good to you while I’ve been gone?”
“Yeah! He paints with me and plays with me sometimes. He’s usually doing his own thing in his room but he always has such deep conversations with me.”
“I’m glad you’re not too lonely. Have you made any friends at school yet?”
“Not really. I brought a few friends home from school but I was too busy with chores to spend time with them.”
“You’ll make friends, eventually. You’re a chatterbox on wheels..."
Buzz brought them to the park because they were filled with energy and excitement of vacation and needed something to do. Ripp was uncertain he would have any fun and messed with his hair nervously.
“This is our first family vacation since Lyla left. How are you feeling?” Buzz asked Tank.
“Oh I’m feeling okay. I haven’t really thought about Mom, I’m just enjoying my time with the family I have left. Ripp came up with me and started a conversation earlier, and it was a good one. That’s rare with him.” Tank replied.
“He’s not the best with social skills. He doesn’t like to fit in, I think. He’s the opposite of a sociopath, he feels so strongly and does not change his personality to suit a social situation.” Buzz responded.
“He likes to be himself. He’s got a strong identity, but I think it’s a very immature one. I don’t mean to speak badly of him though! I’m trying to change how I see him.” Tank continued.
“You’re right, It would do us both some good if I gave him more understanding. We’re family and I can’t just make him go away. I just wish he looked up to me like you do.”
Meanwhile inside the small giftshop Ripp was performing for an audience. He was bored to tears and he thought perhaps he could be the singer for Johnny and Ophelia’s band. The cashier seemed to fancy Ripp and his antics, but even with his charm on full blast she couldn’t be torn away from her work. By the time he went back to the hotel his tip Jar was empty.
“Maybe this vacation isn’t so bad” Ripp thought, eyeing up the other guests in the lobby. The older woman was attractive but Ripp knew it was inappropriate for him to hit on her so instead he set his eyes on the boys his age.
He struck up conversation with the handsome stranger after he finished speaking to his friend. Turns out he was a local staying at the hotel because his house was being fumigated.
“Where are your parents?” Ripp asked.
“They’re staying in a different hotel, this place was booked.” Abjheet replied.
“Oh, so you’ve got a room all to yourself? That must be nice. I have to share my bed with my younger brother.”
“Who all did you come with?”
“My Dad and my two brothers. Don’t ask about my Mom. She’s not with us.”
Abjheet nodded his head in understanding. “What sights have you seen so far?”
“We only went to the park. There was a cool bear statue but… I’m much more interested in people. Like you.”
Abjheet smiled. “I’m interested in you too! Hey, do you wanna go for a swim?”
“Sure, let me get changed.”
Ripp got into the hot tub with Abjheet and his friends but was bored when they talked about money, crime, and politics. He tried to change the subject but they were resistant so he just got out of the hot tub and went to bed.
Ripp fell asleep before he noticed Buck’s snoring so they both slept well into the morning with little complaint.
The next morning Ripp called Ophelia and Johnny, each of them trading off the phone before going to class. Ripp felt like he was thriving.
Ripp and Buck rolled around on the log and enjoyed the last few days of Buck’s childhood together.
“Hey Buck do you remember your makeup?”
“Mhm.”
“Would you ever want to put some makeup on me? I… Really want to try makeup, but I think you’re better at it than I am.”
“Makeup’s not too hard.” He took a bite of cereal. “You work with what you’ve got, accentuating the natural features. Kind of like a cartoon. You paint right?”
“Yeah,” he paused. “Well only when you’re not using the paint.”
“Well I’d just do it how I would do it for a drawing. You need to practice it to get good at it.”
“I’d love to practice but I feel like Dad wouldn’t look too kindly on that.”
Buck chewed his cereal in thought. “What’s his problem with makeup anyway? There’s nothing wrong with it… It’s just fun.”
“I agree entirely.”

Uberhood 2024 Update By AnotherPlumbob (CC free)
The Uberhood is an ongoing PROJECT where I’m creating a Cc-free savefile, with all the worlds and lore from The Sims 2 ported to The Sims 4.
NOTE: In this update I've revamped PLEASANTVIEW only - if you were interested in the other worlds or premades, please note they remain exactly as they were in the previous versions.
It currently includes
1.- Remade Worlds
Pleasantview (Newcrest+Willow Creek)
Strangetown (Strangerville+Oasis Springs)
Veronaville (Windenburg)
Bluewater Promenade (Magnolia Promenade)
Three Lakes (Granite Falls)
Bluewater Bay [only partially built] (Brindleton Bay)
All the career lots (detective, hospital and science lab).
BEWARE: the rest of the worlds are either empty, half built or a mess in general.
2.- Families
The save includes all the premade families as well as the iconic townies that lived in those worlds in The Sims 2 times. They all have jobs, relationships, sentiments, lifestyles, reputations, etc. For Pleasantview sims only I've also included more lore in the form of milestones, added traits, midlife crisis, etc.
3. Required packs and How to Install (PLEASE READ)
THE SAVE IS CC-FREE BUT ALL EXPANSION, GAME PACKS,STUFF PACKS AND KITS RELEASED UP UNTIL MARCH 2024.
If you don’t have all packs, sims may be half naked, and/or bald and stuff may be missing. Install at your own risk.
In order to install:
BACK UP YOUR SAVES.
Download the the SAVE file.
Put the save in your SAVES folder. Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Saves. I changed the name of the file so that it will hopefully not overwrite any of your saves (including the previous v1). If your system prompts you to overwrite a save, do not click yes. Just change the name of the save (keep it 8 numbers but change the numbers) and try again.
Optional: Put the .package file (StrangetownTexts.package) in your mods folder. This file is used to change the Strangerville mystery a bit, and turn it into the Strangetown mystery (with custom texts, references to the Bella mystery, etc.). Please install it if you want to have some clues on what happened to Bella!!
4. Play Order
There’s really no set play order but note that:
1.- Brandi Broke is pregnant and will give birth in 3 days regardless of who you play and regardless of whether aging is on or off, so play with her first if you want to be there for the birth.
2.- Same thing applies to Pascal Curious, who’s also pregnant at the start of the save.
5. Disclaimer and TOU
I’m just one person and there may be some bugs here or there, or naked sims or whatever. Feel free to report any bugs you find but I will only fix them if I consider them super relevant or game breaking, otherwise the save is provided as is and you install it at your own risk.
Also please don't waste your breath asking me to do X world, or add lore to Veronaville or Strangetown or whatever, because I will only do it if and when I'm inspired to do it - and the requests quite honestly stress me out.
THE TERMS OF USE ARE: Be nice and don’s steal others creations!

OMG! It's real. Swimmable Pond Sims 2.... whispers [For Download]
So, @kashmiresims literally is a genius. The base/pre made swimmable pond was made by them. I did the DECO, because I'm a DECO girlie. I've had my sims swimming their butts off.
It's literally so much fun. I also love that you can see the fish swimming with them, like OMG!
So tranquil as well. So whether you're looking for some peaceful Lake/Pond nights, or a fun spot. This Lot is for you.
You can download @kashmiresims base lot and give the DECO a try in whatever style you like; find it HERE
Or, if you're a pre-made girlie, like myself, you can download my version of the Lot completed with DECO and all the trimmings. Find that here [Three Lakes Pond] for download. Enjoy!!

Download Link: Sim File Share | MTS
Name: Pinecrest Acres Campsite
Description: Nestled amidst the whispering pines and overlooking the serene lake, Pinecrest Acres Campsite welcomes nature enthusiasts and weary travelers alike. Established decades ago, this idyllic spot has evolved into a haven for campers seeking solace in the embrace of the great outdoors. Offering free limited tents for an authentic camping experience, a well-stocked lake for fishing enthusiasts, outdoor chess for strategic minds, a crackling fire pit to gather around during chilly evenings and a small kitchen area with grills for communal feasts, Pinecrest Acres Campsite invites you to unwind and connect with nature. Escape the hustle and bustle and discover the tranquility of this timeless retreat!
Price: 33,493
Lot Size: 30x30
Version: 1.42
Store Content: None
CC Used: 2 (Coffee Machine and the base needed for the Coffee Machine by ATS3)
Packs Needed: The Sims 3, World Adventures
File Type: Package
I created this campsite so my Sims can experience camping in their home world and catch a few fish/beetles/butterflies from the World Adventures expansion pack without the need to travel to vacation destinations. I have set this lot as a Small Park to avoid an influx of Sims visiting and placed only three Sim Scouts' Classic Camper tents ready to be used. The tents are spread out so that Sims can relax privately but I did place an outdoor fire pit as well as create a communal kitchen area for Sims to mingle with fellow campers.
This lot has been play-tested and I've used it in all my saved games. Let me know if you experience any problems on your end. Click on the link below for more information on this lot.
I made this exclusively for the World Adventures expansion pack and it is required for the tents to show up. Only 2 CCs were used on this lot, both of which are Donators’ gifts, exclusive downloads for ATS3 donors/Patreons. These are not included on the download but if you are interested, you can visit ATS3 site here.
You can set this lot as a Big Park if you'd like to populate it with Sims but the space is limited to 30x30 and there is only a limited number of tents so only a few sims can use it.
📣Please be aware that there are spawners used on this lot thus I would advise to not rotate the Small Park Lot to avoid duplicate spawners and remove spawners when the lot is deleted due to them remaining on the empty lot. To check and remove spawners, enable “testingcheatsenabled true” and “buydebug on” after.
Spawners:
Butterfly: China (Mix), Egypt (Mix), France (Glowy)
Beetle: Rainbow, Trilobite, Spotted, China (Assassin)
Seed: Rare 1 and 3
Fish: China Uncommon, Egypt River Common
Outside:
Community Picnic Table
Small Lake
3 Sim Scouts' Classic Camper tents
2 Outdoor Chess Table
Community Fire Pit
2 Public Sounds Stereo
Inside/In Roof area:
2 Public Bathrooms
2 Park 'n Grille
3 Hefty Recycle Me! Bins
Small kitchen area - Refrigerator and counters
ATS Coffee Machine

Medieval Windenburg - Farming district complete!
With a couple of weeks gone by since I shared my completed Old Town district of Medieval Windenburg, I've now managed to reach another milestone - a second finished neighbourhood! This time, it's the rural farming area.
This district is largely comprised of peasant dwellings, but also includes a tavern and a stately home belonging to an important local family. These builds are all quite similar in style, but that's just because I think it makes sense for this area to feel quite uniform and cohesive.
As before, all builds are my own, but a special shoutout has to again go to @thesensemedieval for their amazing mod which changes the environment of Windenburg to appear more medieval (i.e. the roads, streetlights etc).
Anyway, here are some short descriptions to go with each build (in the order they are pictured):
Herbalist/midwife's cottage (picture 1) - a small home tucked away amongst a forested area, this is where the herbalist and her young protege reside. The barn that you see alongside their home is where they perform their 'rituals' and treat those who come seeking their aid. Whilst magic is outlawed in these times, most are willing to turn a blind eye if it means an improved chance of surviving childbirth or making a miraculous recovery from a sudden fatal illness.
Peasant's lakeside home (picture 2) - a humble abode situated on a small plot of land, surrounded on three sides by a lake. It has everything a small family might need to sustain themselves in medieval times, and (spoiler!) it may be where my own Sims begin their journey once I finally start playing in the save.
Journeyman's Tavern (picture 3) - a small tavern that doubles up as a dance hall/event space for the local community. A popular watering spot for those travelling in and out of the nearby city (hence its name), it also hosts a number of market stalls on its doorstep. Shopping and drinking - sounds like a perfect medieval day out!
Horse lover's haven (picture 4) - another quaint peasant home (you may recognise this as the WIP I shared a few weeks ago), but this time with a sizeable stable to house one or two horses. It again has everything a family would need to live off the land. I personally love this one.
Noble's mansion (picture 5) - a grand stately home belonging to the Lord and Lady Webb who oversee these rural lands on behalf of their good friend, the Duke of Windenburg. Whilst this house is huuuge (and as such is the only one I couldn't be bothered to furnish), its the heavily landscaped gardens which the owners take particular pride in.
Neighbouring farmers (picture 6) - two final peasant homes, who in their close proximity to one another agree to share a plot of land on which they both grow their food. These homes are small but cosy, and most importantly within stumbling distance of the local tavern!
So, what's next? I've recently been improving the Landgraab Keep lot I built a while ago, and once finished I'm torn between completing the rest of the island neighbourhood, or taking a break to actually start playing in the save. Hmmm... decisions, decisions!
