The Kaufmann family (Decade Challenge is finished)
Hello fellow simmer, Originally I have started this challenge three months ago in July and I write about it in the 'What happened in your game today'-thread. But @MelsieYT asked me if the story is...
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg I think I'm going to concentrate on the life in the FRG and will strife the gdr from time to time when history happened.
The reasons why I'm doing this I put under the spoiler.
One reason is it happened more in Westgermany which it's good for storytelling. While east germany was more quiet during its 40 years of existence, with exceptions of course. The main reason is that the build and buy mode in sims doesn't offer me things which I could use to rebuild this part of germany. Since this is also a niche product I can't expect something in the similar in this direction or even cc. So I don't try to force myself to do something which is impossible to rebuild and which would make me unhappy as a perfectionist. The FRG was nearer to the american and french style.
I've tried to rebuild an apartment with the gdr look but failed utterly. I wanted an apartment in the 1960/1970s style, but in the end I could say it was more the late 80's.
These are the picture I've posted already in the other thread. It should be a living room and it cost me over 4 hours to build it. I've tried to rebuild the iconic kitchen window, but all I got was the black shadows.
Here are some ressorces I've used for the inspiration, unfortunately it's all in german and but you can see why I have failed, although I had really wish I could play this part, but however it's impossible and I tend not to mourn long about lost things of the past and rather except other opportunities.
