@Mariefoxprice83 Technology is my favorite part of it and figuring out how to work around it. I especially love it when I find good alternative electronics and plumbing.

As far as fun levels, I have one trick that works really well for me. People used to sit around the parlor and talk back in the day, but in the sims (and maybe modern real life??), they won't stay put unless there's a television. I use the bracket cheat to make the TV really small and place it in some obscured location that won't interfere with my screenshots and have them chat and watch television at the same time. Usually, I put the TV on the floor or up high on the wall. I found that I can also put it on the mantle behind some clutter, and they can still watch it. I also found this great TV that looks like a mirror when it's not in use, and I put that, full size, above the mantle in some of my houses.

I also found an awesome 70s typewriter that functions as a computer and then an awesome victorian typewriter that's deco, but I found if I use the move objects cheat and place the victorian typewriter over the 70s typewriter, the sims can still use the computer part but it looks victorian.

Books are great for fun, too, but I don't picture pirates reading very much, LOL.

I have a cc typewriter I keep meaning to use. I'm thinking about doing something like this at some point in the future when I need a break from my current save. Sounds like you have it all planned quite well.
