Forum Discussion
Initially I wanted to post two really creepy occult Sims (The Banshee and her cat Skull), but I decided against it because...I dunno...gosh I have so, so many terrifying looking Sims in my game, I'd only be causing ye nightmares, especially with no access to a spoiler button.
So instead of that I will share a build that I've had in my game for a while now.
This is a fully functional, residential Fairy Mound. π§π»ββοΈβ¬οΈ
It has a medium sized cavesystem, meaning that the residential area is entirely underground. The cave is accessible through an old wooden door.
Inspired by several ancient Passage Tomb monuments (found on my wee island), I made sure the cave's entrance faces Sim East (in Henford), so that for a few moments at sunrise the main living quarters of the cave are flooded with natural light. Winter/Summer solstice 'n' all that.
It has room for 8 + Sims, no CC, (dang I really wish I could put all this nonsense under a spoiler) and it's perfect for the fairies we do not have yet, or werebeasts, because tunnels. Or Witchy auld hags. Whatever you wish, really.
I'm looking forward to sharing my Fairy Mound on the gallery with you all once I'm back online again! Not entering Update Land just yet for I need to make sure all the current gamebreaking bugses are forever-ish gonno.
Okay maybe I will share my creepy sims after all, let me deal with this internal conflict for a moment. π
EDITED TO ADD: The Fairy Hill is now available HERE!

I love itπ
ps. insert working start of a spoiler here
Just saying in case, Im not that impatient, no, never π
If you have all autoupdates turned off, you can still share your builds. Simply make EAapp go online AFTER you loaded up your game in offline-mode, make App online game still running, share your build and go back offline again. Pretty much all mine are uploaded that way.π
insert working ending of a spoiler here (i can dream)

Thank you! π
I didn't realize sharing/downloading builds via the gallery when not patched was possible. Whenever I try to go online in-game, I always get an error. This time I did it via the app with the game open and online access worked fine for me!
Let me go ahead and do a final quality assurance check before I put this hill on the gallery. If all goes well it should be there later today. It's raining and a trapped nerve in my back (side) is stopping me from going on outdoor adventures anyways. Grumbles.

It also looks perfect for hobbits. Or people who wish they were hobbits.
It's beautiful! Please let us know when it's on the gallery.

Thank you! π
Aye, Hobbitses, Gnomes, Flowerbunnies or Patchies. I'm sure they'd all be very happy to live there!
I'll let ye know when it's up on the gallery!

Oooh! Like Newgrange! I've always wanted to see Newgrange during its sunlight peak, but I hear it's quite backed up for the winter solstice. Love this so much! π€
Also...show us your Banshee! I definitely want to see your creepy occults!- CAPTAIN_NXR74 months agoSeasoned Veteran
Thank you! π
100%! My main inspiration for the correct positioning of the mound was Newgrange! There are several of these amazing "tombs" on the site, but Newgrange is definitely the most famous one. It's also much older than the Great Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge. Historians claim it's a burial tomb, some locals insist that it is a portal to The Otherworld. I've been there myself a couple of times and I can confirm: it's most certainly the latter. π
In order to have a chance of becoming a Winter Solstice Dawn Watcher you'd have to enter the Solstice lottery. As far as I know anyone in the world can enter, but -since it's a lottery- it's a really tough one to win as not many people fit inside the chamber (I believe it's limited to 20) and there's only about 4 to 5 days of solstice dawn. Obviously Mayor Whiskers will be one of the lucky winners to get a clear morning.
People that go on daily tours get a taste of what Solstice dawn is like thanks to artificial lighting, and although it's not the same as pure sunlight, it's still impressive.
Small print: The passage leading to the chamber is very low and narrow in places, so this is not for folks who may suffer from claustrophobia and/or are afraid of the dark.Did I sell this one? π
Creepy occults incoming...

Now you got me wondering about the sun that shines straight into my room and wakes me up at about 7:30 every morning. π

Pardon for my delay in responding, Captain, but I was sabotaged by gremlins attempting to deny my entry to the Blue Moon. That is a very fascinating location youβve shared. I really must check it out.
- CAPTAIN_NXR74 months agoSeasoned Veteran
Thank you! π
I hear you! I've been battling those same forum gremlins for the best part of yesterday and was unable to do what I set out to do. Someone needs to be held accountable for feeding them after midnight!
Another day, another fight. πͺπ»
