Space heaters

Let me see, generally there was one in the kitchen. Certainly there was one in the Keeping Room. I would expect one in the living room, too. And I know I've placed them in bedrooms. Castles also need a lot of fireplaces. They don't call them drafty for no reason. LOL

One thing I did in a sort of historic renovation I did to Waterlock Redoubt in Windenberg (the Behr residence) was I put a fireplace on either end of the ground floor and using moveobjects cheat, another exactly in the same spot above (so using the same chimney) one either end, upstairs. That warmed both upstairs bedrooms, and downstairs, both the kitchen/mess hall, and the other space that was the modern-day living room.

@Elliandre another solution I've done for that cozy historic feel if you're not going back to hearths only, is use the iron radiators from the Vampire pack, with a mod that makes them actually work. I love the mods that turn the plethora of useless decorative objects that ought to work but don't, in Sims4, into the useful objects they were in previous packs, or else should be regardless.

My sims could then warm themselves in front of the radiator and get "the warm and fuzzies" which is very real if you've ever lived in a house with functional radiators, they are wonderful.
