A City of Brick, a City of Marble (2023)
A few screenshots of a personal project I made in the Sims 3. Called Latium, it an artistic and significantly scaled down reproduction of Ancient Rome during the First Century CE. Featured are various artistic depictions of real-world structures that have been constructed in the Roman Forum and the foot of the Capitoline Hill as they might’ve appeared toward the end of Emperor Augustus’ rule.
Other buildings are reconstructions of commoner structures that would’ve filled in the space between the monuments of the real city. I drew inspiration from various reconstructions of the era (both historical and artistic), most notably Digitalis Forum Romanum and the sets of HBO’s Rome and the BBC’s Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire.
Progress report:
I finally built the shell of the Mamertine Prison. I moved and embellished two of the insulae and moved them to the foot of the Capitoline hill.  Also, I built a smaller version of the Porticus Deorum Consentium.
This basically begins the first of the actual street scenes leading into the city center and creates a very big contrast between the Augustan Forum in its splendor and the blighted lives of the Empire’s working classes. My next task is to sculpt and landscape the Capitoline hill then work my way outward to the other geographic features.
You can view the rest of this project on my dedicated Sims 3 build blog.

okay it's implied through Ulysses and Titania that John renamed all his friends when he resurrected them, and while I'm definitely judging him for wiping everyone's memories and and rebooting them like they were a sims game he got frustrated with halfway thru, what I'm REALLY judging him for is the new names he came up with.
-Titania- Shakespeare inspired, classy, a little unusual but that's fine. I imagine being named John would give you an appreciation for less common names. 8/10
-Ulysses- I know there's not a lot to work with when is comes to U names, but naming someone after a dog?? fucked up?? just lie and say it's after Odysseus or the James Joyce novel. 2/10
-Augustine- obvs John idolizes ancient rome to a certain extent. could have been worse, at least it's a person name. 7/10
-Alfred- yes it's a real name but nobody is named that except batman's butler and I'm pretty sure that's where John got the name. 4/10
-Mercymorn- that's not a person name! it doesn't even fit her! the only explanation i can think of is that her original name was something equally unfit. 1/10
-Cristabel- google informs me that this the title of a Coleridge poem but I'm 99% sure John chose it because it means "beautiful christian" and she was a nun. 3/10
-Gideon- biblical, meaning great warrior. perfect fit. no notes. 10/10.
-Pyrrha- a little on the nose there, Mr. pyrrhic victory. 6/10
-Cassiopeia- beautiful name, probably meant to reference the constellation rather than the mythological queen. 8/10
-Nigella- it's a name that means black? it's a genus of plant? honestly we know basically nothing about N-- except that she was an artist, was in love with C--, and owned eyeliner and capes, so she was probably goth. 5/10
John GAIUS- bro could make it more obvious that you're soul bonded with the earth and also that you have a hard on for Julius Caesar? -1000/10

As far as what atlantis looks like: ok so its like. A baroque painting. But also ancient rome. But theres crystals. There was technology but they didnt use black screens.
In my most vivid past life regression there was a castle where like. The back was the ocean? Like i walked through a long hallway and came to a double staircase (like two staircases that lead to the same floor with a gap in between like the landgraabs house in sims 3) and the floors were red.
I really suck at drawing or else i would try to draw it. But i went out back. All around the back of the castle is like a really long deck. I think when youre rich its called a veranda. It was covered. Kind of like an outdoor eating area? To my left was a solid gold wall. Like extending onto the ocean. For some reason i remembwr thinking it was floating. Next to the wall there were golden dolphins jumping around. And to my right there was a ship coming in. The ship hit the wall and a scary guy in a hood whose face i couldnt see grabbed me and iit wss over.
Ok so u can have the slightest chance of visualizing it. The green is the deck area. The pink/red is this really long skinny Dock. The yellow line on the left was the gold wall. The little yellow curves are the dolphins :)

Pharaoh cleopatra game best sandbox map
Tumblr media
#Pharaoh cleopatra game best sandbox map full
The biggest novelty Pharaoh introduced, in regard to Caesar III, was the excellent historical background. Unfortunately, some of the game's novelties were overshadowed because of it. The official add-on to Pharaoh, Cleopatra, is none-the-worse than the original when it comes to quality of design, and maybe even better taking in consideration the gameplay value of the additional missions.ĭue to its competitive release date, Pharaoh was dwarfed by some of the bigger Christmas hits. The sim was called Pharaoh, and it was met with fairly positive critique when it was released in October last year. Such is the charm and fun of the simulation, placed in the time of ancient Egypt. The Impression Games decided to widen their opus to other great civilizations. Thanks to that Impression Games pearl, millions of sim fans were able to go back in time to ancient Rome and re-live its glory, if only for a few days. Whether constructing tombs in the Valley of the Kings or building the Lighthouse of Alexandria, battling Octavian or plagues, or simply beautifying and establishing a solid kingdom, Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile - Official Pharaoh Expansion offers you the chance to relive and recreate history in the land of the Pharaohs.Ĭaesar III proved that ancient-days God-Sim's could be very interesting, even in the age of super-accelerated 3D FPS games. Another new feature is the allowance to carry over from mission to mission (within campaigns only) certain properties including family savings, (some) troops and monuments. In the latter, victory is claimed immediately upon meeting or exceeding all required ratings. In the former, at the end of a given time limit (assuming your city still exists), you must meet or exceed pre-set ratings in various areas. Seven of the missions in Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile are timed and consist of two types: survival (4) and time limit (3). Other added features are new beasts (e.g., scorpions, asps, roaming lions), commodities (henna, oil, lamps, paint and white marble), and industries (Paint Maker, Lamp Maker, Artisan's Guild and Henna Farm). New enemies introduced in Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile - Official Pharaoh Expansion include Assyrians, Persians, Phoenicians and Romans (possible allies at times) as well as tomb robbers. Four major plagues (River of Blood, Plague of Frogs, Hailstorm and Plague of Locusts) and new monument types have also been added. Also, with this upgrade, you can now play the missions included in Pharaoh in any order without completing the campaign.Įnhancements to the original game include the addition of the zoo to the missions Bubastis and Hetepsenusret (building at least one is necessary to attain the required Culture Rating), faster pyramid construction and pop-up message control. There are four new campaigns encompassing 15 missions that span history from the late New Kingdom era to Cleopatra's rule.
#Pharaoh cleopatra game best sandbox map full
Installation of the full commercial version of Pharaoh is required in order to utilize the expansion pack.Ĭleopatra VII reigned in Egypt at the end of the Ptolemaic period and the expansion covers not only her time in power but also the reigns of Tutankhaman and Ramses II. The game includes enhancements to its parent title Pharaoh in the areas of gameplay, shortcut keys, and scope. Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile - Official Pharaoh Expansion is more than an add-on of new scenarios and campaigns.

Artemis & Actaeon
Look at Actaeon's wretched fate who by the man-eating hounds he had raised, was torn apart, better at hunting than Artemis he had boasted to be, in the meadows.

Hi nilxis. Just want to say i really like your world. Is Uranesia inspired from real life country? Reminds me my own country. The house roof build looks like rumah gadang from Indonesia.
Hi! Thank you :)
Uranesia as a whole is not inspired in any particular place or country, but of course I’ve drawn some inspiration from some real places. I’ve googled the Indonesian rumah gadang (very beautiful btw) and it does look like the architecture in the Pirate Settlement. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted to make the roof more pointy and curved at first, but I was messing up with cfe and I decided to leave it flatter. For these Pirate buildings I googled “Polynesian architecture” mostly, but now I’m seeing that some of the pictures I used as inspiration are actually from Indonesia, like these Batak houses from north Sumatra:
Tumblr media
So yeah, turns out Indonesia is one of my sources of inspiration :) More pics and info about different inspiration sources for Uranesia after the “read more”
The big waterfall in front of the swamp and the cliffs around it are inspired by Angel Falls in Venezuela:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dye pools were inspired by the tannery in Fes, Morocco:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Royal Palace was inspired by Indian architecture:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also got some slight inspiration from Bagan, Myanmar:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The roofs of many of the houses and the terraced fields were inspired by Machu Picchu in Peru:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s also some Ancient Roman influence in the city, like the baths:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And for the shape of the mountains and cliffs, it’s a mixture of the tepuys in Venezuela and Guyana, and volcanic islands like Réunion Island, Cape Verde or Hawaii. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So that’s pretty much my main sources of inspiration from real places :)

This is a potential Create a World WIP, a town based on Pompeii, which I’ve been fascinated with since I was a kid. I say potential, because I’ve had a number of fits and starts with this world and some bad luck (I was working on it years ago when I lost my hard drive, which took several months work of work on this world with it). 
In any event, once I finish Pottersville, I’ll see if I can muster up the courage to finish this one. Till then, vale (that’s Latin for goodbye).

Top 5 Twisted, Yet Fun Games of All Time
I have been a video gamer since growing up as a kid (back in the 1980's), with my first game system being the classic NES, and I have played many different games since then. These games includes: Battletoads, Super Mario Bros, Sonic, Mega man, first person shooter games, roleplaying games, online games (such as Adventure Quest), and plenty of other hit games out there. Of course, I have also played plenty of twisted games too and some of them are surprisingly fun, humorous, and sometimes even popular, and in this article, I will talk about at least 5 of them.Game #1 - Become a "thug" in the Grand Theft Auto SeriesEver wondered what it might be like living the life as a thug and getting involved in organized crime (such as gangs) without actually becoming a criminal? In the Grand Theft Auto series (with the latest installment being The Ballad of Gay Tony), you do just that. The GTA universe is a popular roleplaying game, usually based in New York City (also known as Liberty City, though some games feature other cities such as Miami in Vice City and Los Angeles in San Andreas) where you usually control a thug (such as Nikko in GTA 4) and do missions for various crimbe bosses throughout the city. Some quests involves petty crimes such as stealing a prized car that a certain crime boss wants, while other missions may have you assassinate people that have crossed the criminal organization you are a part of, such as delinquents. In GTA San Andreas, for example, Carl Johnson joins the Grove Street gang and gets involved in a gang war with rival gangs, such as the Ballas (though he also works for crime bosses such as El Salvador, Doctor Rosenburg, as well as a corrupt government agent named,Lumber Jack Forest Wood aChop Mike Torreno to name a few). Many of the newer games also have plenty of side missions you can do, such as spraying graffiti on select buildings in San Andreas, take on multiple girlfriends (CJ for example, can have up to 6 girlfriends), as well as doing smuggling missions (such as hauling freight from the badlands to Las Venturas while dodging police officers in San Andreas). Of course, on the side if you rather just play for fun, you could always go on rampages in the game, where you can steal cars, get a little trigger happy, obtain wanted stars and drive the local police crazy, drive like a maniac around the city, as well as trying to get your guy killed. By the way, you never really have to worry about getting busted or wasted in the game as your guy will simply respawn at the nearest hospital or police station, only to go on another rampage once more (by the way, never try this in real life a this aspect is very unrealistic of course). Similar games: Saints Row, Gun and BullyHere are some interesting stuff you can do in the GTA univers that you can't get away with in real life:Your primary form of transportation are cars you jack from unsuspecting people, and you can usually get away with it unless if there is a cop near by (who will try to bust you if he sees you jacking a car). Cops will simply bust you, take your weapons and some of your money as a brige, and simply release you for even the most henious offenses (such as going on rampages). And when you get released, you can do more crimes as well, with the same results. Imagine doing that stuff in real life. You would probably go to jail for a very long time (or worse depending on the offense) for similar crimes committed in real life. If your guy dies, he will simply respawn at a nearby hospital. In GTA San Andreas, you can have up to 6 girlfriends at a time without having to worry about them getting jealous. In real life, trying to take on multiple girlfriends is quite risky as they do get jealous (at least from a guy's perspective of course), and even the slightest form of disloyalty (such as cheating) can lead to disastrous results on a relationship, as was the case for Scott towards the end of the third season of the reality TV series, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" when Kourtney learns that Scott was cheating on her (though luckily for him,
the two seemed to have gotten back together by season 4). And plenty of other odd stuff that you can't really expect to get away with in real life. Game 2- Fight to the death in the Mortal Kombat SeriesIf any game were to take after the infamous gladiators events during the days of ancient Rome (where people fight each other to the death), it would probably be the Mortal Kombat series. On the surface, Mortal Kombat takes after similar fighting games, such as Street Fighter 2, where two opponents fight each other in matches consisting of three rounds, with the opponent winning at least 2 out of three rounds being the victor of the match. Usually, the loser simply gets knocked out in his/her losing round, with the winner moving onto the next level. However, in the Mortal Kombat series, there is a whole new twist to fighting: the winner of each match has the option of terminating his or her opponent using special finisher moves called, fatalities. If you have played any of the Mortal Kombat games, you would know that when you knock out your opponent during the final round of a match, the announcer (presumably Shao Kahn in most games) will say "Finish Him!" (or her if your opponent is a female character). When this happens, if you have five seconds or so (some games have cheat codes that allow you to disable the fatality timer if you want extra time to pull it off) to finish off your opponent by entering a certain button combination in the right sequence and in the right distance within the time frame (the exact move does vary by fighter by the way. Pulling a fatality (or similar move, such as animalities, friendships, etc) can be tricky at first, but if it is done correctly, a special tune usually plays, the screen goes dark, and your character will do a special move that basically finishes off his/her opponent. Each character has their own fatalities, by the way (Scorpion, for example takes off his "mask" and hurles fireballs at his defeated foe, while Sonya will blow a kiss of death at her foe that incinerates him/her instantly). The list of fatality moves goes on and on (some people have posted fatality demonstrations on YouTube by the way if you are curious about all of the moves), but you get the picture. By the way, if you prefer not to do fatalities, you could always do a friendship move (where your character "befriends" his/her foe), a babality (where your opponent gets turned into an infant), or even simply knock out your opponent with an uppercut. Despite the obvious dark nature to the Mortal Kombat saga, the games have been quite popular as there have been many sequels in the series (my favorite is probably Mortal Kombat Trillogy), several movies produced (with the latest one being Mortal Kombat Armageddon), a short lived cartoon series, as well as sound tracks released. Of course, this game is probably not recommended to the younger audience or people that are easily offended as these games definiately has death matches in them (similar to MTV's Celebrity Death Match). Similar games: Killer InstinctGame #3 - Play "God" Sims 2 (and most other games in the series)I don't want to sound blasphemous (I am a Christian by the way), but do you ever wonder what it might be like to play God for a day? It might sound wiered, but in SIms 2 (and similar games), you will pretty much be doing that. Sims 2 is an open ended game for the PC (though there are also versions on the consoles, such as Play Station 2) where you build a virtual home in a virtual community, along with creating a simulated family (consisting of a mother, father, kids, etc) that you will help manage as you play through the game. Sim families function much like a typical family you would see at least here in America: they work, have emotions, go to school (if they are sim kids), do chores, socialize with other sims, get into relationships, sleep, relax, watch TV, build skills for a job or career they have, and sometimes even raise a dog or cat (at least in Sims 2 Pets). You could simply watch them live out life and make their own choices, or you can
intervine and give them stuff to do. For example, if they need to go to bed at a certain time in order to get to work or school on time and they are say watching TV, you could put it in their minds to go to bed, and usually they will. Maybe there is a person that you want your sim to meet or interact with, you can have your character strike up a conversation with another (complete with dalogue options of course, allowing you to choose how they interact with each other). Or maybe you need to help the sim keep their motives up (such as having them eat when their hunger stats are low, using the bathroom when their bladder stats get low, interating with other sims when depressed, etc). Of course, as "God" in their world, you can also take after Satan and abuse your powers and ruin the lives of your sims. Here is a breakdown of some funny and twisted stuff you can do to your sims:Cause a sim to become a jerk around other sims. Whenever you have your sim strike up a conversation with another sim, dialogue options will open up, and while you can make your guy or girl friendly, you can also cause him/her to say and do things to be mean (such as insulting others, slapping others, tell lies, gossiping about other sims, or even picking a fight). By the way, be careful about creating fights between family sims as some sims will move out if they take too much abuse from other sims. Sit back and do nothing. Usually the sim(s) will make bad choices and suffer the consequences for it (for example, if he/she misses work too often, he/she will get fired). Allow kids to get bad grades in school (usually happens by allowing them to skip the school bus when it comes). The only downside to this is that they can be sent to military school if their grades get too low. Kill off a sim. One way you can do this is simply by letting him/her to starve to death. Of course, there are plenty of other ways for a sim to die (such as electrocution, drowning in pools, getting scared to death by ghosts, etc). Once a sim dies, beware of the fact that they can come back as ghosts and haunt your sim family (by the way, in Sims 2, one can get scared to death if their mood is too low when the ghost is active in the house). By the way, one funny thing you can do in the PS2 version of Sims 2 is that you can actually control the ghosts, which can be quite hilarious as you can scare other sims, possess them, and even cause them to behave erratically (such as throwing up). Cause your sim(s) to get abducted by aliens. Usually happens if they look into a telescope at night too often. By the way, in SIms 2 for the PC, there is actually a cheat I found a while back that allows your sim to get abducted at will instead of by random and even caused my entire sim family to get abducted by aliens as well). If you are a control freak, you can also turn off free will (it is usually on by default) and bend them to your will. Can be useful when dealing with a stubborn sim that won't listen to you when you give them a tas k to do (no matter how foolish it is). The list goes on, but as you can see, Sims 2 can be quite twisted when you think of it and yet it has been quite popular especially among the younger audience, and has spawned many sequels (including Sims 3), YouTube videos, as well as console versions of the game which tend to be a bit different from the PC versions (in the PSP version of Sims 2, for example, the game is more of a roleplaying game where you control this dude who finds himself in Strangetown, a desert city that has lots of paranormal happenings in it, and go on a quest to stop an evil genius from taking over the city and escape the ghosts and aliens infested town).Game 4 - Play as Alien Invaders in "Destroy All Humans!"Games involving aliens have been quite popular probably since the days of Atari (such as Space Invaders) and have evolved quite a bit since then. There have been plenty of different games and even films in this genre, with titles you are probably familiar with including: Space Invaders, the Simpsons Game (Kang and Kronos launch an alien
invasion near the midpoint of the game), Independence Day, the Star Wars and Star Trek sagas (not all of the alien race are hostile in Star Wars or Star Trek, of course), Aliens vs Predator, the Contra series, as well as even the Halo series (where you get a hostile alien race bent on wiping out the entire human race). Usually you fight against the aliens, however in "Destroy All Humans", you actually get to play as the aliens themselves, controlling an alien named, Crypto who is a part of the Furon empire, an alien race that wants to acquire human brains for some odd reason. The game is pretty big and spans many missions, starting with Crypto crash landing in farmlands and terrorizing both cows and farmers alike, and later with Crypto launching a full scale invasions against towns and cities. And yes, you do play as the bad guys in this game as your job is to conquer Earth (particularly North America as the game is centered in the United States). Besides terrorizing civilians, you can also take on human form and blend in with the crowd (can be useful for infiltration missions, for example), go up against government agents (such as the "men in black"), do mind control on people, making them do as you wish, razing villages with your flying saucer, as well as taking on huge bosses that try to stop you in your invasion (which is natural of course when you are controlling a hostile alien race bent on the destruction of the world). Despite the twisted nature of this game, it can be quite humorous when Crypto goes on rampages, along with creating hysteria among citizens, harassed cows, destroys buildings using his saucer, as well as battling government agents trying to stop Crypto. Similar games: Alien Homid and OverlordGame 5 - Conker's Bad Fur Day (also known as Conker's Live and Reloaded if you have played the Xbox version)Platform games have been popular probably since the debut of Mario Bros in the 1980's, and have spawned many popluar titles in the genre, with hit titles including: Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby, Castlevania, Crash Bandacoot, the Mega Man series, as well as the SImpsons Game. Many of these games have similar themes: you play through different levels in various kinds of terrain, go up against an evil villain and his/her cronies (such as Dr Robotnik in the Sonic the Hedgehog series), fight plenty of huge bosses (usually cronies and close associates of the evil genius, unless if you are on the final showdown), and save the day (such as recuing Princes Peach from Bowser in Super Mario Bros). Most of these games are obviously geared more towards the younger audience (barring some games, such as the newer Castlevania games given the "M" ratings on some of the newer titles, such as "Curse of Darkness"), especially in the case of games like Mario Bros and Sonic, where kids will usually play these games more than adults do. Anyways, with that said, there another platform game that I have played through that is quite twisted when you think of it: "Conker's Bad Fur Day" (I played the Xbox version by the way). Conker's Bad Fur Day appears to be a typical 3D platform game (Super Mario 64 style), complete with a storyline, boss fights, an evil genius to defeat (namely the Panther King), and many colorful stages to play through. However, if you have checked the rating for the game, you would probably see the "M" rating. That is because Conker's Bad Fur day is pretty much a platformer that is geared more towards an older audience. Here are some features in this game you will usually not find in most other games in this genre:Most of the characters swear (though in some versions, the swearing is censored by a beeping voice when they swear). There are some crude levels in the game. In one area in the game, for example, there is a poop themed level where you are surrounded by poop and one of the bosses you fight in this area is literally one giant piece of poop (his voice actually reminds you of that of Christopher Lee, with the heavy British accent, though he is actually voiced by another guy named Chris
Marlow). There are some sensual scenes in the game. In one level, for example, you have to help a bee "pollenate" a feminine sunflower plant. Also, Conker does have a girlfriend, named Berrie, who gets kidnapped by the Panther King. There is a grim reaper in the game that wants to kill cats for some odd reasons (his voice is somewhat funny as well). Alcoholism does play a role in this game. At the beginning of the game, Conker has a nasty hangover after a night of drinking beer before the story officially begins. Also, alcohol is a powerup that Conker can use in the game that causes him to get drunk and urinate on foes (funny and crude if you ask me). There are plenty of other adult themes in this game (though I won't list them all), but you get the picture. This wacky game is sure to both offend some people (for example, if you are a kid, this is certainly not a game you would want to play with your parents near by) and make other laugh.Well, there you go, those are some of the most twisted and yet surprisingly fun and sometimes popular games I have seen throughout my gaming career. Obviously there are more titles I haven't mentioned (such as Overlord, Bully, etc) but, you are welcome to add to this list if you want to and feel free to comment on this article as you are free to agree or disagree with me.

Ancient Rome - Sims 4 CC (2/5 - Build Mode)
Hi friends,
Since I started to play with the Sims 4 trying to recreate Ancient Rome, I wanted to place in a single post all the CC I found (for myself, first of all, and for anyone who might find the list useful).
I am a historian of the Ancient World, so I am quite obsessed with historical accuracy (not excessively!)
I will continue to update the posts with my finds.

10 things I want from the future of Pokémon games are;
1) New Pokeballs. The last ones we’ve had were in Gen 7 and I don’t think Beast balls count considering they don’t have a great catch rate on actual Pokémon.
2) A new Eeveelution. I keep hearing that because Gen 8 broke the cycle of new Eeeveelutions, we won’t be getting anymore, but I like to think that Gamefreak and Pokémon can still continue this trend. I dunno, man, I just wanna see more of em.
3) Pokémon that follow you, but throughout the entire game. And with the addition of them being to scale (as best they can at least). Obviously Pokémon too big can’t go indoors with you, but it would work the same way the Let’s Go games did. Riding certain Pokémon would be great as well. Oh! And flying (like in ORAS) and being able to choose what Pokémon you want to surf with would be amazing.
4) Open world. This could be difficult to implement so I’m going to try and state the bare minimum on how this could work. Overworld Pokémon can still be running around at multiple levels. Obviously the ones that are too high a level wouldn’t be able to be used until a certain amount of badges have been won. And speaking of badges, the gym system would work like in Pokémon Origins (the battle with Brock) where the gym leaders would choose a different set of Pokémon based on how many badges you had so far. Thus you would be allowed to face the gyms in any order you like. There’s more that I can go into, but that would take up too much of this post so I’ll move on.
5) Better character creation overall. The character creations haven’t been too bad, but they can definitely be improved upon. I’m thinking along the lines of more skin tones, more hair colors (and textures), more clothing options, and maybe even more body types? And I think, what would be a cool idea to implement, is to add ages. Like, not specific ages, but whether you’re an adult, teen, or child. For the teen and child options, it would start off like any other Pokémon game - you start in a house living with a mom, or whatever guardian. But as an adult, you can start off living in an apartment, however, instead of a parental figure, they’d be a roommate. They would hold the same function as your parental guardian by healing and such. I just think it’d be a tad more immersive to play this way. And the character creation could play out like creating a sims character.
6) A good post game story. Now, as much as I’d love to say add another region to the post game, I know that’s not likely to happen, but even just a good story line to make the game feel more fleshed out could really make a difference. I’m definitely cool with adding things like the Battle Tower (I know a lot of people love those), but adding immense lore to the end plot would be wonderful as well.
7) Having Pokémon set in a new timeline. I’m thinking more like an ancient Pokémon style game, like a region that would be like ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, or Maya times. That would be really cool to explore. This one I will admit is more of a personal preference of mine, and I doubt it’ll ever see the light of day, but it would be cool to see 😅.
8) More diverse Pokémon regions. I’m totally loving that Pokémon has been expanding their regions outside of just Japan, but there’s so much they haven’t touched upon yet that they could easily make a region. For instance; anywhere within Africa, Australia, and South America. So much diversity and ecosystems to play with, it’s honestly shocking that Pokémon hasn’t done this yet.
9) More regional Pokémon!! I’m totally in love with this concept, and it gets me to look forward to new and upcoming games. I do hope, though, that this isn’t just a fad that will be eliminated from the games, it really does make the Pokémon world feel that much more real to me. I’m also glad that they branched out a bit from when Gen 7 only did regional mons based off only Gen 1 mons. I can’t see why they wouldn’t continue this, but they’ve stopped using fun mechanics in the past, so we’ll see if this continues.
10) Allow the player to choose their own career path. Yea, I know this one is way too far fetched (heh), and this would never be allowed in the mainline games, but I do think this could be a really fun and cool concept. Maybe instead of a Pokémon trainer, you can pursue to be a gym leader, or a Pokémon nurse, or ranger, or professor! It wouldn’t have to be a typical style play, but more of a life simulator. And if you don’t choose the path of a trainer, you’d choose one partner Pokémon like in the Detective Pikachu movie.

I totally agree with Jim. In ancient Rome it was actually better to have a small penis and all statues are exactly as such, I appreciate the accuracy. Jim if I could request one thing here it is. Years ago you did some paintings for The Sims 3 that really caught my eye. ''The School of Athens'' by Rafael and ''The Murder of Caesar'' NEED to be available for SIms 4. I would appreciate this so much. All of the paintings you did for Sims 4 were great. The various paintings sets were awesome too!
You are not the first to ask me to make these paintings for TS4. It’s true I made a lot of paintings for TS3. Making them to TS4 need more work.
I will see what I can do ^^
