Oinone

I stumbled upon it by typing a random keyword on the exchange. this tropical island city features azure waters reminiscent of Sunlit Tides, plus amazing houses. The main city area sits on a separate circular island with several intriguing custom lots. So my first impression of this world was really good. However, when I sent my sims here for a vacation, the game became extremely laggy during the process of nraas register generating service sims, and eventually froze completely. That's why I kept the screenshots in my drafts without posting them. Though not suitable for regular gameplay, you can always come here to steal some lots... before it freezes

Re-reading Heroides 5 (Oenone's letter to Paris) in prep for a long-awaited post, here are the top 3 things that made me go "oh..!"

v9-12

Not yet so great were you when I was content to wed you – I, the nymph-daughter of a mighty stream. You who are now a son of Priam – let not respect keep back the truth! – were then a slave; I deigned to wed a slave – I, a nymph! 

v126-132

Theseus – unless I mistake the name – one Theseus, even before, had stolen her (Helen) away from her father’s land. [...] You may call it violence and veil the fault in the word; yet she who has been so often stolen has surely lent herself to theft.

v157

and I was your mate in childhood’s years
