Are You Playing A Historical Save or Planning to?

I've started making mine into a proper story now.

I play a time traveler sim, and I have multiple lots that represent different eras. I have "Always Welcome" as their trait so they can "rough it" with that historical era.

I'd love to but its way too hard at the moment and I don't like adding tons of cc to my game
so unless there is past themed pack I probably won't

Computers: This vintage (70s) typewriter replaces the computer: http://modthesims.info/d/557259/vintage-typewriter.html and this vintage (Victorian) deco typewriter can be placed over it with the move objects cheat and the functional typewriter is still usable: https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-objects-furnishing-decor-clutter/title/art-nouveau--typewriter/id/1367946/

Phone: There are different phone mods on MTS that stop autonomous phone actions, but when you really do need to use the phone, I like this mod by triplis that makes it look like they're just standing there thinking: https://triplis.github.io/mods/phone-listen-anim.html

Outfits: I don't use MCCC yet, but I know it lets you pick which clothing items are allowed for NPCs and which aren't.

I tend to make more classical types of sims and builds. I often make historical sims without thinking about it. An issue is how computer-dependent a lot of skills are in the sims. I wish I could have a more realistic writer from, say, the '20s. Well, I guess there's always the journal as a way to gain that skill.

Oh, wow, and yeah. I guess the constant incoming texts and phone calls are weird.

I'm currently doing an Upstairs Downstairs inspired Decades challenge as a youtube series.

I have said a few times on these forums that I would love to see a historical-themed pack, (possibly involving time travel?), especially because I don't like to use mods and CC so it would be nice to properly embellish my historical houses and sims.

Sounds interesting, and there's some good challenges, but Im too lazy to download good cc for it.

I haven't played one in the Sims 4 but I did do one in Sims 3. Not sure I will do one again just depends on future content for the game and what story I want to tell.

There are no mods or workarounds in existence that would facilitate what I really want - a Sims game set in ancient Rome or Egypt.

I would 100% play a Rome game. Perhaps it's time for a Sims: Rome, like Sims Medieval but more sandbox.
