Church with catacombs...
So I have been stalking the forums for some of the really amazing, wonderful things you guys have created here, and somewhere whilst I was searching for unlocked tombstones I read a post about catacombs and was inspired...
I spent
hours working on it, but I'm not sure if it's worthy of anyone's attention here. I have a few 'teaser' photos to see what you all think, and I can take more...
This is the front, of course, with the front gardens peaking out a bit.
The main feature and first completed aspect of the church. You can see they are set low and tall, just like real catacombs. Unfortunately none of the S2 objects look properly ancient or rotted, so I made it a more 'functional' area for burial ceremonies and such.
The entry hall, which has a twin on the other side with slightly different decor.
And the main worship room; you can see the three-story vaulted ceilings, which add to the power of the speeches given here. Off to the left is a smaller room for Sunday School and smaller ceremonies. On the right is a kitchen/dining area for those fund-raising dinners and the priests to eat in during off-hours.
As you can see here, there is also a Cardinal's balcony for when you have special guests who need their own vista. The lower balcony is for the choir and additional seating as needed.
This shows the smaller chamber off to the left of the main hall.
You can see the kitchen/dining area here.
This shows the brides dressing room. The door on the left goes to a private bath.
This shows the secular office where all the church's administration is done. On the left is the door up to the living quarters.
The study room, which is the entry room for the living quarters. (The wallpaper is my own modified version of the plaster that comes with the game.)
This shows the sleeping area for the priests.
This shows the two roof gardens that the priests use for study and meditation.
Let me know if you're interested in either further images or an actual downloadable version. I used the 'tombstone hack' for the graves, so if you have it installed you should be able to get this lot just right.
Does anyone know anywhere I can get some church-themed clothing? I'm going to have a look myself, but would appreciate any help you can give. I'm hoping to make this livable =o)
And ... um, btw; HELLO =o)
Edit: As you can see, it's been updated. The downloadable version is coming shortly. Thanks to all of the comments and suggestions, and I hope you like the updated version!
And now,
for download. (Is larger than original file because I used a different tomb set that actually carried over. All custom wallpapers, carpets and tombs are included in the .sims2pack file.)
That's it, I think. Enjoy!
