This blog is changing! Links may mislead you.
Except Uploads, they should work fine.

I'll post, when everything is fine again.
Nice Advent, so far ;-)

The Return?

"Eerr- Don't you miss anything....?" "What? Why??"

My heart full of desire for Lyraine I read through various threads in various forums. Crashes could be caused by broken game-data. Fixing is to uninstall and install again.

Finally it happend...

My comp is old... too old to play such a big city like Lyraine. While building the vacation-areas the game passed out from time to time.

The Convent

The christian influence grows. You can see it, when you look at a big complex.
Here live nuns. They pray, work and get involved with beneficent activities.

van Baer

Sometimes noble daughters need some private lessons in behaviour. In a old house a lady belonging to lower nobility runs a school.

Eisener

Maargo Eisener is a blacksmith. He and his brother moved to Lyraine and bought a house right beside the market- ideal terms for a flourishing buisness.

Something in the Water

Sometimes sailors see strange things in the Water.

Murky Waters *Less CC*

In a deep forest my Sims search peace and quiet.
Murky Waters is a vacation-area inhabited by elves.

Building continues...

Real life calms down a little. I don't play families at the moment, but I create houses.

The harbour is nearly done.
Now Vacation-districts get completed. I will show you:

"The Trout"

Here comes something, I'm really proud of.
In the dirty, shabby habour-district are many Inns for travellers. One of them is named "The Trout".

Yaw-Haw! Build a ship.

I always loved the catfishisland and the ships in Windlebridge. So, I decided to build something like this in my neighbourhood. When I posted it in Plumb Bob Keep, I noticed people couldn't find a tutorial. So here it comes:

Short Update

I'm soooo furious. My comp and real life are stressful at the time. That's why it will take some time till I upload new stories. It is even more annoyingly, because I have only just created the blog.
So far, Farewell.

The time before winter....

So, here we are.
Lyraine had its first scandals, leagues, weddings, births and deaths.
And there will be more.
Some of my families experienced a winter already, other moved to Lyraine later. However I posted a thread for every family and add some pictures. (The only family without any pictures is "van Thane", but it's only one black magician. And nothing intresting happend.)

The half of the Habour is built and my poor, old comp works to full capacity.

I hope, you have fun while reading. :)

Gute Sohl

Gute Sohl (translated literally "Good Sole") are shoemakers. They aren't rich.

The Jester

One of the less wealthy, but most liked, is the Jester.
His place of work isn't always inherit by the oldest son, as is the rule.
The king decides this.

The school of old ways

The Wintersteins aren't as rich as the Goldadlers, but they have another kind of force: magic.

Wiedegand

The smaller, shabbier tailor is old Wiedegand.

Weizengold

The Weizengolds are millers. They are one of the wealthy families.

It is a solid buisness, but you couldn't get rich with that.

Vitta

The Vittas have always been a thorn in the church's side. They offer special services and do a deal with the pagans.

Greggor

The source of general revenue is the harvest of the fields.

Goldadler

Gacht

The Gachts are a really poor family. Basket-weaving isn't a money-spinner.

Feuers Hand

DeBateau

The Debateaus run the theatre.
Here meet mainly the rich sims, to hear inebriant sounds of instruments and lovely chant.

Curious

There is a roomy stonehouse near the habour. A family, you might know, lives there. Lutz, Friedbert and Pascal are the founders of alchemy in Lyraine.

Brüning

The Brünings live on a farm near the sea.
They grow appletrees and poduce honey.

Brombeer

The Farm Hands

The fields and gardens are ownership of the king.
The priest chairs the church.

The Miners

The Miners have a hard life. They work for a starvation wage. There is a mine, where ore is brought forward and a stone pit for building material.

The Habour

The habour is a very colourful, but also sinful place.
There are many shabby houses of fishermen, sailors and boatbuilders, but also enjoyable inns for travellers.

The Gypsies

Near the sea is a camp of travellers. The Gypsies love live and dance. Some of them are christian other believe in older religions and magic.

The Farms

In the surroundings of the town are a few farms.
The people in the town pay well for the harvest. That's why the landowners belong to the well-off families. They employ some of the farm hands.
