Are You Playing A Historical Save or Planning to?

THINKING about it. Been finding a lot of nicely Maxis match CC clothing for dedicated periods and been thinking of doing one, especially since we have an off the grid trait. Thought about a more Victorian period one (since the clothing in Get Famous.), but also enjoy some more 1900's period and mostly for things like the fashion and unique homes to buildings.

Though, at the moment been enjoying a save with my sim just 'surviving' on a island and not having any of the nice commodities and having to deal with living out in the elements.

I’d love to, but beyond cosmetics, the integration of so many of the game’s features makes suspension of disbelief impossible for me.

I love historical sims, but I can't go past the fact that sims 4 is too forced in the present times. I think I did it once in the sims 2.

I admire other people doing it and the amout of effort they put into it.
But yeah, the overall setting must be making it hard.

It's definitely more difficult in 4 than it is in 2 or 3. I will be officially starting my Victorian "story" this evening, now I'm done playing with aging off. I have to go to work first, though!

I would love to but there would need to be some sort of GP for it. I am too lazy to recreate a whole world and townies, etc. We don't have such clothes and furniture,...

I wasn't sure how to answer this question. I'm not playing a strictly historical save, but there are historical elements. I'm playing characters from the turn of the century, the 20s, the 70s, and the 80s, but all mixed in with other households who are not historical.

I have no idea whether to get into a Historical Save or not...do any of you guys have any tips at all?

I'm currently playing one family that lives like in the 19th century, complete with the Off the Grid trait, old-fashioned clothes and other things I know from the 1995 Pride & Prejudice mini-series, but an entire save? No way. TS4 is not meant to be played that way, which normally wouldn't stop me, but there's only so much you can do without modern technology in this technology-obsessed game.

I had a really great short historical save taking place on the Island in Windenburg. It had to be there because townies walking around in their normal clothing would make it difficult for me. Placed lots with the correct backdrop and had a few households that wore the correct clothing. It was fun.

Really happy that we have a few places in the game where we have more control over who shows up, that makes it possible to experiment a bit.
