AveMariaPurissima Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 -When you look to see what time it is, and immediately call to mind what your Sisters are doing. -When you already pray Divine Office (and sometimes even chant it, even though you're by yourself, just because that's how the Sisters do it.) -When you eagerly look through the sale papers to see if any of the items you need for entrance are on sale!

AveMariaPurissima Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 [quote name='EmilyAnn' timestamp='1328442312' post='2381405'] When you're doing your hair in the morning and thinking about how much easier it will be when you can just hide it all under the veil. [/quote] That thought has definitely crossed my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set all the doors so only the Extern sister can get through, grille in the church and two parlour rooms. If you dress them right they can look almost like a habit, the only thing missing is the veil. I made myself a Benedictine abbey. Next up, Carmelites!

I used to play Sims all the time but I didn't even think about making my own convent. That's really razzle dazzle! What version do you have? Sims 3? I might have to get a copy just to play it again.

[/quote] Yeah I've got the Sims 3. I've always loved the Sims, I have almost all the games. The first convent I made was tricky because I made the full house of 8 sisters and it was kinda difficult to control. My next one will have to be a bit smaller. Plus with the new Sims 3 stuff you can have careers in gardening and art and stuff so my sisters really don't ever leave the convent because they don't have to. If only I can convince St. C's to let me bring the Sims with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can get screenshots of my convent and post them up. Edited because I realised it made no sense.

Strictlyinkblot Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, I don't have a computerised convent but I do have a crafty Salve nun doll and a crafty Novice doll. They're perched on my shelf looking at me. www.carmelitesnottinghill.org.uk if you'd like one, or a whole choir full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I have a whole mantel shelf community of Crafty Nuns, including novices and even an Abbess with a pectoral cross that Sr Susan made specially for me! There are singing nuns and Salve nuns, and they look so sweet together. Buying Crafty Nuns also supports our own dear Sr Faith Cecilia, a phamnun.
