England/british style sims

I'd love for Australia have that too where hopefully the towns are in check with our ones and there's a 1 out of 3 chance you'll die by various native creatures or heat exhaustion.

@cornishoven *waves* the variety of housing within the UK is vast. My first house was a back to back which had been rendered and painted :)

Within sims games different style terraces should be possible not only the wall textures but styles as well. TS 2 had a mansions and gardens SP which had some really useful architectural bits.

It's funny to think that the american's also like our accent lol.

I'd love to go to the USA. I'd move there if I could lol.

Sames, I've got such a typical "posh" english accent I think I'd be able to get So many free drinks :P

My accent swings from something quite broad and Northern (when I'm feeling cheerful and silly), to something VERY posh and 'BBC' (normally when I'm annoyed). *^.^*

That is gorgeous. Must be North Wales.

I think you're right! They're so cute and well looked after! I like how they have benches outside, you can imagine people sitting out in the sunshine, chatting with their neighbours. ^.^

As we Brits have no sense of humour I set up a joke thread :) Basically it is about founding a society for the protection of distressed sims and exposing simmers who regularly torture or even murder their sims.

A clever simmer called @enkeli63 came up with the name - Society Against Violence and Game Executions. SAVAGE also run the ATRISK programme to help simmers refrain from harming their sims :) :)

Hee hee, I think I need to join! I never ever never ever kill my sims anymore, I'm far too soft! I've only had two deaths in the whole of my time playing TS3! I used to avoid anything deathly (like the jelly bean bush and murphy bed) but have been systematically modding out all random chances of death in my game! XD I admit, I used to take away the pool ladder in TS1 but I'm reformed!

It's funny, when ghosts got patched in to TS4 I decided to make the cast of Hamlet (because of the ghost) but it meant killing off the King and I haven't been able to do it yet, it feels so unnatural! I wish we could make ghosts in CAS. ;_; So I kind of have this parallel happy universe in my game where Hamlet is no longer a tragedy: everybody lives and Hamlet and Ophelia are planning a legacy! XD

In my life I've gone from West Yorkshire to the Isle of Man to East Yorkshire. My accent would probably get me a free drink...in the face :P

Something very common for New England homes are the old Victorian houses that have been renovated into multiple family homes, and all the old textile mills converted into apartments. The mill apartments all have very high ceilings, are usually very poorly heated and cooled, and the outside wall was brick, so you couldn't ever hang anything on the walls. The mill apartments are usually cheap (relatively, nothing in New England is cheap), and are a lot of peoples first apartments when moving out of home. The Victorians are also usually poorly heated and cooled, because the buildings are so old, they are not usually retrofitted with modern heating. A friend of mine in grade school lived in one, and I remember being completely fascinated by the dumb waiter (which we were absolutely forbidden to play with!). New England homes also have a very steep roof to let the snow and ice slide off (every year there is still a building that collapses due to snow weight), and very steep wooden stairs on the outside of the buildings that you swear will fall every time you use them.

I like the look of your row houses, I know we have some in America, I've seen pictures of houses like them in San Francisco. I think the show Full House was supposed to take place there, and I remember being fascinated by those houses connected like that on the hill.

Scrumpy mmmmmmm <3

OK I had to look up scrumpy. Never heard of it but Wikki said it's apple cider.

Hello @MissTexasB and you are making me envious as well because Texas is on my list of places to see :)

Traditional British cider is made from apples. The tradition is centuries old and as a result you get both the commercially made ciders and you get scrumpy :) Scrumpy is made on farms and small holdings and unlike its commercial cousin the process is not so heavily regulated. As a result some scrumpy is pretty potent. A good scrumpy will knock your socks off and anyone not native to the West Country is strongly advised to stick to the commercial brands.

Please note as a responsible member of the community I do not advocate underage or excessive drinking :)

I suppose you could make a fake row house like they had in Help!, it would look like row houses on the outside, but be one big home on the inside. Not the best solution, but it could be fun to try. The more people are talking about this, the more I would really like it to be real some day!
