Rediscovered sims medieval

I've never played. How good is it?

I love TSM! Hm, maybe I should fire it up again sometime. Are you playing on Windows 10?

I miss Sims Castaway lol.

I loved the Sims 2 Castaway, such a good game.

I'm playing on a mac, it runs pretty well. For those that haven't played it- it isn't a typical sims game, it is more rpg-lite in that your sims always have some sort of goal or quest. Also, it uses the sims 1 aging system (no death by old age). However, the medieval setting is super fun and there is actual drinking, religion, fights to the death, and a lot of other stuff not really seen before in sims games.

Medieval had a lot of potential but they seemed to just give up on it which was a shame. I do still play every once in a while but never for long, the quests an be quite repetitive and sandbox mode is limited. Wish they'd fleshed it out a bit more but what I do still have fun with it!

It's so great, I just started a new save... the monarch is a flamboyant and not hetero but I am pretending he is feeling pressured from his father to marry and create heirs (like Braveheart style) should be a fun story!

My king usually leans that way, too (as my avatar would suggest xD) but marriage and heirs are a matter of state, not of the heart, as far as he is concerned. Current kingdom may be a bit different, as I am on King Simrey VIII, and plan for him to have six wives if I can. Need to get a monastery and cathedral up, however, if he is going to be able to divorce. :D

My king just produced three heirs (all during the Heir Quest, and I chose the "this is a contract, not love choice" ha!) Eventually, possibly after more heirs, he is going to kill off his queen (kind of King Henry VIII style) and run away with the Minstrel that he fell in love with from day one <3

I really love that idea of King Simrey VIII :D
Maybe my next kingdom! Ha!

Oh you are so cruel xD I was so shocked when I first played the game and my queen, a sweet and good soul, and named after me of course, got murdered. Really something new to the series.

I just found out that today (or when?) the game got a new patch. I also learned about bonus throne rooms for Limited Edition. I have that but have never seen any other rooms. Now I can't seem to find a way to a code to redeem in order to get those items. Boring.

But jeij, people are still playing it!

I'm reading through this thread finding out things like the game had murder and actual drinking in it, yet this game is still rated teen, but the developers for sims 4 are kind of skimpy on things like murder and drinking, juice instead of alcohol, bubble blower instead of hookah, no murder, I mean most of this stuff is typical iconic sims humour but still, love how they kind of freak out at these little things when they've pushed the limits before.
