@lovecat182Oh, I wanted to add that I used cheats to:
- Afford fancy castles - I downloaded lots of pre-made medieval houses, castles, and community lots. I also have a cathedral and Westminster Abbey in my game (may not be historically accurate).
- Change Sims' appearances once I had made them - found out they had red hair or grey eyes, etc. or the toddlers born in game looked wrong.
- Change the sex of a toddler cuz Eleanor Queen of Castile would not give birth to a girl so Berenguela was born male but now is a healthy female toddler :laugh:
- Create the Sims I forgot so they were part of the correct family, i.e. all Henry II's children in my game are on his family tree as the offspring of him and Eleanor of Acquitaine, and they are all siblings and in the correct age order, despite me making some of them after their younger siblings.
- Change the age of Sims to make them younger when needed. This was mainly due to me not turning off ageing for non-active households so they grew up while I played other houses. Also, to make Henry II have children that were already young adults, I had to age him up to adult and then back down to adult again when he became an elder.
Come to think of it, I think that may be part of a mod. I think it was a mega mod or something, the same one as the story progression. I can enter CAS using Change Sim on the mirror or dressers. I use the cas.fulleditmode cheat to edit everything including traits.
I use a swimming pool surrounded by a wall to dispose of Sims when their time comes.

@lovecat182 Most builds aren't going to be historically accurate nor are they to scale. Windsor Castle can only really be put on the Twin Oracle Point lot and needs a square keep at one end with an octagonal (it should be round, but octagonal is the closest I'll get) keep in the middle and houses/offices in the walls at the opposite end to the square keep.
Twin Oracle Point is where my Palace of Westminster is. Any of England's great halls or minor castles that came with a particular Earldom can be created on pretty much any 30x20 lot as a two story homestead (I'm trying to keep the 40x30 lots for royalty) - the square 64x64 lots are too big for me and I just get carried away, so I'm going to leave those as they are. Perhaps they can be bought and changed as money trickles down the generations. I'm fine with that choice, but its a shame I can't create other royal castles/palaces and have them owned by the monarch for his/her children. Never mind - the children can always be moved out to make these other places.
Turning Westminster Abbey in to a restaurant feels wrong to me.
I'll be creating castles and such nearby for royalty (I think Newcrest will be the royal district with lot size being determined on closeness to the crown). Then I'll have the Great Officers of State and (possibly) the other barons being in the other districts depending on how much space is left.
