Champs les Sims in the 50s - Monastère Saint Sanbon and Bibliothèque Cécile Hancieux

Sorry for these badly centered/ not very telling pics from 2018-19. I changed computer about a year ago, and haven't played in VCLS on my new one yet so I had to hunt down 'vintage' pictures ^^

- Monastère Saint Sanbon (40x40) - residential lot, located in the lavender field in the hamlet. Haven't really played with it yet so it might change a lot in my game (mostly the layout inside), spring pic but same angle here

- Bibliothèque Cécile Hancieux (15x15) - library, located downtown, next to the school. See more of it in this video

I'm sure I'm forgetting something as it's been a while, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll try to check my tumblr regularly, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to post anything else before a while (v. busy not fun RL stuff atm, and busy but hopefully more fun RL stuff later this month )

Usual disclaimer: Just like for all the other VCLS Lots this is barely more than just the SHELL of the building seen on the picture.

Also I use markers on my lots: skip level, hidden room, public room… So to be able to modify any of these builds you need to have cheats on: ‘testingcheatsenabled true’ then ‘restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false’. To see/remove the markers you need ‘buydebug on’ .

PART II  - For @blazienator and anyone interested in a visual of ‘what lot goes where’ in my edited version of Champs les Sims (Inhabited Lots map here)

Map of Community lots and Uninhabited Residential Lots in Champs les Sims

To be edited if I need to add more lots :-)

The lots come empty, and I mean very empty: no sim, no furniture and sometimes no doors nor windows. I made these for my game, and have used plenty of CC items which are NOT included in the downloads.  Consequently these are barely more than just the SHELLS of the buildings seen in the pictures

Champs-les-Sims in the 50s – Residential Lots in Fall 1951

These are the residential lots featured in videos of Champs les Sims in the 50s for Fall 1951.

The pictures are from my game and I can’t share these cc-heavy versions. But I’ve uploaded the SHELLS of these residential lots (empty buildings, sometimes without windows/ cc textures aka the walls are going to look weirdly bare and white) . If you’re interested in a base to build upon/to decorate, they are available below.

I use markers on my lots: skip level, hidden room, public room… So to be able to modify any of  these buildings you need to have cheats on:  ‘testingcheatsenabled true’, then ‘restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false’ To see/remove the markers you need ‘buydebug on’

Champs-les-Sims in the 50s – La Batisse (fire house) 20x20

Community lot - Caserne des pompiers/ Fire station - The picture is from my game and I can’t share this cc-heavy version. The one I uploaded is barely more than just a SHELL of this building - Don’t think I’ve added any of the firemen’s goodies (coats, axe...)  except for the truck, alarm and pole.

EDIT: Sorry, was the wrong file here is the right link for the DOWNLOAD

+ this build really needs Gosik and Inge’s cottage half landing stairs to work

If you want to know where it’s located in my town, see map at the bottom of this post:

@jolifleurbleu​​ said: Adorable! J'adore l'ambiance dans ton jeu! :)

Aw, merci, ça c’est grâce à tous les mods et CC. Y’a tellement d’options maintenant ('enlever’ les tel portables, travailler en tant qu’artisans...) que j’ai même un monde WIP tourné vers ‘nos ancêtres les gaulois’ ....

Mon sim-idéfix est tout prêt à sy installer! ;-D

@lilidebergerac said: Your world is so beautiful <3

@simsaralove said: Oh wow, beautiful pictures ♥️

@itsyuiri said: Absolutely beautiful ❤️ I love this world so so much!

Thank you!! The env./lighting mods do help a lot with making looking at the snow way more interesting ^^! 

@yourpicasso25 said: it sorta does show we’re all locked up, doesn’t it? And your game is fabulous and I’m jalous! (as usual… And while I’m at it, can you tell Sandy that Samkat, Picasso doggie and me are adopted Krampouezhians? We didn’t get wedding cake!)

Actually, I have so much more to do during lockdown (class prep is quite different and takes way more time) that I don’t know how I’ve managed to play :-D!  

Oh, I did tell Sandy that your simselves and lil’Picasso were living there but that was some 2-3 years ago when I first gave her the files for the world. She had been preparing that wedding for a while ^^!!  

If it’s any consolation, I finally caved in and gave Krampouezh’s sim-Manu her very own dodoche :-) No more biking up the cliff, simsamkat-who-is-not-a-cat’s paws are pretty happy about it !!

@samkat10423 reblogged this from franglishetchocolat and added:

So pretty! It’s what I love about this world. It looks awesome, no matter the season.

@simsmidgen said: I’ve not seen it in Winter yet! I only play with Summer, I should change that :)

 @simsmidgen said: Ok, I’m turning the snow on <3

Snow is pretty until you stumble on very yellow-ish crops ! Hay but mostly wheat do look a tad weird in the wintery scenery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Champs-les-Sims in the 50s – Winter 1951-52 part 1

It’s a very white winter in Champs les Sims. The town is covered by a thick blanket of snow and l’étang Dudot (the pond) has completely frozen over for the greatest joy of all the sims-izens.

Not yet the aces at ice-skating they are aspiring to be, the town’s teens: France Picard, Pascal Morel and newly arrived Geoffroy Castor have proved themselves to be quite the entertaining bunch! So many faceplants and landing on one’s butt  :-D

Lately, baker Jolène Montaque feels rather lonely and suffers from bouts of insomnia. She wants to get married but has yet to find her match in town. 

Charlotte Dubois was sorry Léa Dutiel‘s stand at the market was closed, but then Léa was quite busy elsewhere, as there is a new cutie in town. Meet hers and Gaston Dutiel’s second son, Théodore (a sleepy couch potato <3) 

Since his arrival in town with his family, early this winter,  Robert Castor has learned, almost daily, of the joy of having an evil tinkering teen at home ^^

Champs-les-Sims in the 50s – Fall 1951 part 1

Gaston Dutiel has taken to walking his BFF/dog at dusk in the forest, which is kind of the best idea ever because Dusk + Forest + Fall = <3

It’s always fun to try to guess what outfits Jean-Luc Pivert  is going to show up with, like these random pjs and boots when he visited Laurant Durant’s newly wheeled stall at the market.

Adora Almeria who recently moved in from Monte Vista with husband Diego and baby daughter Marta, has indulged in her passion with Medieval history when decorating her new (ancient ^^ ) house.

Beatrice Bonnet loves to paint and collects dollhouses and sometimes does painting of her dollhouses :-). 

As there is an incoming Baby Saint James, Eliott Saint James gave up his job at the cemetery and became a sapeur pompier (fireman). Though as there haven’t been many emergencies so far, he spends most of his time at work renovating the fire station, tinkering or sculpting.

Champs-les-Sims in the 50s – Fall 1951 part 2

Fall 1951 was surprinsingly quite rain-free and warm in Champs les Sims, much to the pleasure of Mathurine, Pâquerette, Léon and cows and cie, the Picards’cows, 

It was also, apparently, the season of more of less successful luuuuuve: Dr. Yves Bernard proposed and Berthe Girard said ‘You betcha!” (also I’m pretty sure she was wearing her sportswear ^^)

Charlotte Dubois,the teacher, and Manon Godard,the repairwoman, have been spotted being super duper-cute together - though might not last as they have absolutely no wishes towards each other.

After a disastrous (but v.funny) first date, Margot Petit and Gérald Picard have decided than instead of being lovers they would become each other’s awkward BFF. 

Gérald’s sister, France adores her bike so much she decided it was a good idea to ride it in the forest, on the only rainy night, which also happened to be the Full Moon. That same night, Dr Yves Bernard was at least a bit more wary of his surroundings while crossing la place du village.

The newest addition to Champs les Sims, the  Platt Family  has settled in la Maternelle  (pre-school/kindergarten), where Danielle teaches the toddlers. Her son Robert, once back from his elementary school (way too early every time), has taken to roaming the classroom in not-so-vintage costume (let’s say he is a dragon ^^ )- hear him Roooaaar!
