I really would like to know what exactly you used for this challenge. I am looking for stuff to use to make a storyline of a family through the time. Could I ask you to share the list of cc items and mods that you have used? This really looks great!!! Thank you for sharing your video!! :)

@@SimGandr_PoW she’s linked her cc and mods in the description

@@SimGandr_PoW thank you so much!! There’s a link in the video description that will take you to the full mod/cc list on my tumblr with links to download from each creator

@@SimGandr_PoW also, hi hello!! Thanks for stopping by stream tonight! 🥰 just saw your username after I hit send on my reply

@@kosmichippie Ahh see! It is so warm here it has me a bit drousy and I missed that... Thank you again... I will have a peek there!!!

Yeah. Now, if they were royals, that would be a different story.

@@peterlewis2178 yeah that’s where the misconception comes from. Royals married young, everyone else typically married at a reasonable age

@@drpigglesnuudelworte5209not really though. Most royals didn’t marry young unless there was a need for an heir

@@justbeyondmythoughtsEven if they married really young there wouldn’t have happened anything that could result in an heir for quiet a few years

OMG ash watch sims gameplays 😂

I love this, thank you! The history of this kind of stuff is so fascinating

​@@kosmichippie Of course!! It's wild how much they had and didn't have back in the day, and I'm more than happy to share some of weird historical fun facts that I know haha

@@purplespacecats576 I’m OBSESSED with random historical facts so def keep ‘em coming!

"One of the earliest written records of a urine-based pregnancy test can be found in an ancient Egyptian document. A papyrus described a test in which a woman who might be pregnant could urinate on wheat and barley seeds over the course of several days: “If the barley grows, it means a male child. If the wheat grows, it means a female child. If both do not grow, she will not bear at all.” " This in ancient Egypt, not medieval Europe. Medieval Europe's "pregnancy tests" were more focused on the colour of urine and mixing urine with alcohol.

@@Emma-Maze I know one medical bit is that if you taste urine and it is sweet tasting, it is a sign of diabetes. Not usable for The Sims but who knew?!

just sucks that you have to keep creating new heirs and heroes )::::

I LOVE that so much! I did something similar with a church lot for my regular decades challenge and it created such a sense of community in the game. I will def be adding in some family and friends and i might even set up at least one side household *just in case* 😬

Thanks so much for the clarification!! That's what I was thinking the more I looked at the chart. I'm so excited to play through this challenge!

Thanks!! Episode 2 is already out so I'll name them in the 3rd one!

@@kosmichippiebit random but if you’re going to do this every week, in 2 years time you’ll only be on 1400,

Don’t worry past me, she does it a bit more often.

lol@@Whiteman2.0

Uh oh! We'll have to work on his personality! I've been trying to think up backstories for them going forward so we'll see what I come up with

@@kosmichippie A Kenric redemption arc lol

Thank you! I love immersive/realistic (at least as realistic as we can be) gameplay!

Thank you so much!! 🥰 aesthetics are EVERYTHING to me! I’ll be doing a couple videos soon on ALL the things…graphic mods/settings, mods/cc, how I set up my save file etc!!

@@kosmichippie Yay! I want to see this type of video too! Can't wait.

Can't wait! These graphics are stunning

I LOVE the backstory for your founder Sim! That is going to be a beautiful legacy story :) Decades is SO MUCH fun!!

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰

Have to agree. I'm obsessed with history and the sims so I try watching these series all the time but can never get fully into it. I LOVE her dedication to accuracy, and like you said the aesthetics lol.

You are so welcome! I'll be updating the list as I come across new mods/CC and add it into the game

You should totally try it! It honestly feels like a completely different game

Thank you so much 🥰🥰😍

Thank you so much!! 🥰

OMG, thank you SO MUCH!!! This made my day 🙂❤

@@kosmichippie Awww you're very welcome ❤❤. I've watched many different ones but I love your play style, the concept/theme and your personality and voice. Instant subscribe! This series is relaxing yet very interesting. I can't wait for the 3rd episode!!

Thank you!! 🥰 I’m not sure if you like live streams but I play regular decades challenge on my twitch on Tue/Thu/Sat. We’re in the 1920s and it’s been more drama and so much fun! Feel free to check it out if that interests you 🥰

Thank you🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm really glad it helped you! 🥰

You can't have a medieval save file without some GoT references 😉 I definitely want to bring more GoT inspired characters into the future generations :)

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much!! 🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰

So exciting!!! I'm literally OBSESSED with the medieval vibes! I'm about to record the next episode right NOW!

Thank you so much!! 🥰 the random townies definitely make my blood boil but for the most part they've been somewhat easy to manage. they do make an appearance in a few episodes unfortunately

thank you!

@@kosmichippie im just sitting here marvling at it and i can really tell how much work youve put into this, keep up the hard work!

thank you!!! 🥰

I'm not a huge fan of challenge rules either so I usually just follow the ones that make sense for realism and toss out the rest. I'm sure this challenge will evolve as we continue through

Thank you so much! I hope you're able to get some CC. It makes it feel so much more immersive 🥰

Thank you SO MUCH!! 🥰 It really feels like a whole new game with all of the cc and mods!

OMG thank you SO MUCH 🥰🥰

Thank you! 😊

Me either! And I soon as I discovered this was possible I knew I just HAD to try it out and now I'm obsessed

Thank you so much!! 🥰

Awe thank you so much!! Maybe you can do a renaissance themed price celebration and have both 👑🏳️‍🌈

Thank you!! Can't stop, won't stop! I'll definitely be around for a while :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that for the future generations

I know right, UGH! 😆 But it's going to be great when they do come out!

Medieval Peasants couldn't afford a horse anyway, so the new pack won't make much difference to this particular game play

​@@hummingbirdchenReally?Interesting

@@hummingbirdchenThere’s a big exception though, depending on the context of where/how the peasant was living. A serfdom situation may have meant that their liege or landlord could’ve lent horses for field work or tilling depending on the liege’s decision. They may have to pay their way for the use of the horse, or a mule. It’s also possible that old/retired horses were moved onto favourite peasantry as a nicety.

@samcresp5440 yep that's right. An old plough house, or even a dray horse to pull carts, might have featured (and likely was communally maintained). The trouble with the Sims4 gameplay is that it assumes everyone will be horseback riding, but of course no peasant family could afford the saddlery, tack, shoeing and feed required to keep a riding horse. Still, it's fun to try to balance TS4 and reality, and I'm loving the series!

So fun! I'm thinking about adding some family and friends for our Gen 1 so they can have a little more of a backstory. It feels lonely at the moment! Keep me posted on your gameplay progress. I love hearing how things are going in your challenges!

@@kosmichippie 17:53 no lie on the eventful really quickly had a death roll for the parents (Gen 0) The dad didn't make it. So, when I start a fresh save and start play a... let's call it a session zero. I spend quite a bit of time on my Gen 1 starts in CAS and their backstory kind of unfolds naturally - usually one sim day. I reset skills and back to zero after that for the challenge to start. I take pictures with the Sims all that jazz. Anyway, so I already knew my Gen 0 were going to have to do a death save / if they survive it - to see how many days they get to live. So, I let my Gen 0 have a quick woohoo sesh - one last time ya know lol. Well, I created them to look like elderly sims even though they are actually adults still, the roll if survived is what ages them up... but having a small family celebration I kind of forgot about the fact they were not "actually elderly." So... worst case scenario, they die from exhaustion, right? I mean death save woohoo sesh same-same right? Well, it didn't dawn on me they didn't get any moodlet at all for even remotely being tired... a yawn nothing. So, day ends. Challenge is starting... I roll my rolls, Papa Zero goes down in the death save. Mama Zero lives and actually asked to move in with my heir which is cool, because you aren't supposed to kick out parents living with your heir (show some respect all that lol). So, I am like cool-cool. My heir the other side of that twinning set they had going on and the youngest sibling live together, with the wifey, at the paternal Gen 0's ancestral homestead, and moms is with my heir, all good in the hood. Till Chica rolls up with a diaper over her head and then holds back a vom. I was like no. lol No... they were adults weren't they... k so this is all with mods ruining my life (overly dramatic sigh) Naaa I love the chaos!! But check it, this heifer-and-a-half ends up giving birth... to... okay-okay at first, I am thinking ... all good let me just roll with it. I mean, it's kinda sweet, I guess. Last hurrah and Ol'e dude still had it in him! Moms too. Good on them. She gave birth to twins. Twins! K . So. I made everyone so far... I planned for my heir to part of a twin set.... now, mods are like she is just very fertile, I guess. Ya know? She got good genes. She has those solid child birthing hips. Meh I was on pause just staring at my screen like... "Bro what just happened? Why you just do me like that?! " So, we broke everyone is sad. Heifer out here having a whole litter of children, UNDER MY SIMS ROOF, no less. Like I should have said No when the pop-up asked to for Moms Zero to move in with the heir. Girllllll.... lol So now everyone is *preganante and everyone is still sad from the Gen 0 dad's death, somehow everyone survived the subsequent birthing death rolls, and then the other family had a child before I even could see if they could and how many. Got that sorted no babies unless I say so.. THAT MEANS YOU TOO - ZERO MOMs ... that means you too! lol just being overly dramatic... so all that happened between 1300 and 1301. I am so obsessed with this challenge, now lol. Gen 0 Parents really did me dirty though, right? Good stuff, though - I live for it. I hope your game play is either as chaotic, more chaotic, or chill-vibes thru and thru - depending on how you play your games. Like I said, I have never come to this channel before, but legit - you're starting your first video Rn, just saw you already got out another video. So, it will be fun to watch how someone else plays and see how they overcome whatever the game/ the challenges toss at them. If you don't feel like reading this whole novella I wrote up in here... all gravy - no shame it's long. Have a good one!

Thanks so much! Def drop in if you come across any fun ideas or random historical facts from your books!

OMG I love that!!! Thanks for sharing!
