Praaven Reworked by Nornities＆Simsmidgen

Praaven Prison Tower

I was about to build a castle to recreate the tragic love story between Ugo d'Este and Laura “Parisina” Malatesta at the end of the Medieval(Almost Renaissance), but I gave up.(Apparently I don't have the talent for castle building) Hmm, If you have time, it might be a good idea to write just the ending part.

thank you for reading. see you.

I've been fooling around Praaven (original by @potato-ballad-sims, reworked by @nornities and @simsmidgen) around the same time I read threads on historically accurate medieval building reconstructions.

Because of that I ended up reworking the façade of the buildings around the Market Square (specifically the City Hall and the Merchants' Guild) (I felt they needed some more colors, given the time period, as it's supposed to be set in late 14th Century Bohemia iirc).

Next step: remove the sunflowers from all lots that have them (as they're native to Mexico, which hasn't been invaded up to the 1490s)

Edit: Post #500. WOOO!!!1!

Beverly Brawn met Felony and fell head over heels. Felony made sure that didn't last for long by being her usual delightful self.

Beverly is already married so serves her right.

Today I’m happy to release Praaven Reworked, a new version of Praaven by jje1000/potato-ballad-sims, edited by Simsmidgen and me. As usual this project took longer than expected. But with the help of our many fantastic testers all is well that ends well.

Simsmidgen and I tweaked some things more to our liking, replaced broken CC, reduced the overall amount of required CC, recoloured EA objects and/or replaced them, fixed major routing issues, reduced world file size, replaced/fixed all those bloody arches and stacked staircases, thinned spawners, improved terrain painting (at least we think so). We added the two festival lots by lowrisim and tweaked them a bit and also made sure that the tomb can be solved (yes, there is a tomb, go looking for it!). We tried to leave the world as original as possible though (apart from the things that didn’t work well). Public release is with permission of potato-ballad-sims.

The original version of Praaven was created by jje1000/potato-ballad-sims and a lot of helpers and can be found at MTS. The original is NOT required for this version to work. Neither will they conflict so you can have both installed at the same time if you wish. You may want to check for doubles in the CC folder in this case though.

The Details (mostly the same as the original version):

Size: Large (2048x2048)

Required EP: all (World Adventures, Late Night, Ambitions, Pets, Seasons, Generations, Showtime, Supernatural,  University Life, Island Paradise, Into The Future)

no SP required

requires CC/store content (all included)

unpopulated

Note:

You may still find the odd slipped tile or encounter stuck sims. Especially horses in town will be a minor nightmare so we recommend to use one of the larger lots outside town for more horse-friendly gameplay.

While we were able to reduce lag due to routing issues it is still a large world that uses most of the map, so it might not be suitable for lower-end computers.

We also recommend to use NRAAS mods to reduce the amount of wild horses and strays (or even turn them off entirely) and to disable water taxis. And for a smoother and more stable gameplay in general.

Praaven comes with beautiful custom lighting which we enhanced by adding Nilxis’ Realistic Clouds. So you might want to remove your global lighting/weather mod if you use one and give it a try.

All screenshots are by simsmidgen who in addition uses the Milky Way Night sky by Nilxis. They are unedited.

We added some hidden custom subway rabbitholes (one in each region of the map, the lots are called Staging Post, Ferry, or you’ll see Mysterious Huts). If you prefer a more authentic form of traveling, please remove them first from the map before removing the custom subway rabbitholes or they will be replaced by the default subway rabbithole.

And of course, a special and heartfelt thank you to our amazing (and very patient) testers (in no particular order): Technicallyswagpizza, Goldenboisimsauce, Bleizez, Gifappel, Crowkeeperthesimmer, Danjaley, eisfee, attuned, Amazon, shilgiia.

Also a big thank you to the many more who offered their help!

Before the premiere of Bots & Bolts I'd like to give a HUGE shoutout to @simsmidgen. Their world Woeford was big help for me setting up this story and you will see a lot of inspiration along with their builds available for download on their blog. If you end up liking the story, please show them some love for all their amazing creations.

Hello, Ms. Poodle. I hope you don't mind my asking, but do you have any Steffor's missing CC? Thanks and I hope you are doing well.

Hiya! 👋 I have a few things that I have backed up for myself. Unfortunately it’s not the entire shebang. I do believe (at least I think) @simsmidgen has  it all archived. I remember her saying so from these two post - https://simsmidgen.tumblr.com/search/steffor I would see if she has what you are looking for. If there is stuff still missing, let me know and maybe we can track it down. I haven’t been active in a hot minute...so I could be completely wrong about who has archived what. So keep that in mind. 😉
