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.

You convinced me to try to find an inexpensive copy on eBay or Amazon so I can try to make my own convent.
she_who_is_not Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 My sister and I want to make a convent dollhouse. We're going to do the chapel first.

I'll see if I can get screenshots of my convent and post them up. Edited because I realised it made no sense. Edited May 15, 2012 by EmilyAnn
Strictlyinkblot Posted May 15, 2012 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
maximillion Posted May 15, 2012 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.

I'm trying to picture in my head what it would look like, but I bet it looks better than what I have imagined. Do you have the regular version of Sims 3 or the Deluxe version?

[/quote] I got the collectors edition when the game came out. I graduated high school like a week before it was released. Pre-ordered and everything - I'm that lame. Plus I've got all the expansion packs. I'm so gonna miss it if I ever enter. I'm working today but tomorrow I'll get some pics up of my Sim convent!
Annie12 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 If in the Sims anyone is short on money pres Shift+crtl+C and type "motherlode" then you will have enough money to create you monastery!

EmilyAnn Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 I posted my Sim nuns up in a new thread, here's the link: http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/121142-i-made-sim-nuns/
