EmilyAnn Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Since we were discussing it in the "You Know You're a Future Nun" thread here is the religious community I made in the Sims. They're Benedictines (surprise, surprise!) and I've got 6 solemnly professed sisters and two novices.

InPersonaChriste Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 umm... wow... You must have a lot of time on your hands. This makes me want to play the sims..
Annie12 Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I made one too! But I don't think it's that great. I'm gonna make another one when I find my Sims 3 game that I lost. hmmm... pictures seem to not be working for me... Edited May 16, 2012 by Annie12

That style was the closest I could get.

After all, if a convent can be created, why not a yeshiva or a synagogue, a mosque or a church? [I never played Sims, but my daughters did]
OnlySunshine Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Wow! It looks incredible! Great job, Em! I really need to get a copy to make my own. I'll probably go with Carmelite nuns or Poor Clares. We shall see!
AnneLine Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) That is very well done, Emily! That looks like so much fun! Interesting that you gave the 'hard seats' to the lay people, and the cushions to the nuns! Can't wait to see the refectory (dining hall) and some of the work rooms! And I totally agree with Antigonos.... and will also add that there are a lot of people who choose to 'veil' for many reasons....including hair loss because of illness.

[/quote] The nuns have to spend a lot more time there than the lay people! I haven't quite finished the refectory or the other rooms just yet, I need to remodel a bit. The lot I built on isn't quite big enough so I think I'll have to move it to a new lot.
AnneLine Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 That is actually so much like so many monasteries... they build to fit the community.... and when it gets bigger, they purchase nearby lots and build some more... and add walkways, bridges, small gardens, etc. to join the elements. You could have a LOT of fun with this! Maybe add some visitor quarters and retreatant rooms -- for US!!!! Be sure to include a computer room so we can all stay in touch, OK?
Strictlyinkblot Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 This makes me want to go out, buy a PS3 and a Sims game.
Strictlyinkblot Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 They should set up an online game where we all get to build our own covents/monasteries. Challenges could include getting vocations and building a new foundation. We could even grow vegetables in the garden and tend to chickens. Nunville?
