I think you should do a mini spin-off where Shanice Shanice is ruler of Willow Creek. You can make it interesting, even though it would revolve around a $5 kit with exterior items only 💀

Despite the myth they were clean and they already had soap with herbs.

I think it should be pointed out that this is not a medieval castle. It's if anything, an early modern castle. Medieval castles were primarily built for defensive purposes and it's quite hard to see how this castle would be effective defensively. Modern castles, such as these, were built for aesthetics and projection of power. When people think of "castles", it's usually these luxury palaces they think of rather than medieval castles. See the Neuschwanstein Castle, built in the 19th century, for reference.

I learned the other day that they did have handmade soaps in the Middle Ages and were a lot cleaner than we think because public bath houses were popular.

Also, public bath houses were sorta a necessity. 99% of the medieval population didn't have room in their houses to have bathing areas... Personal bathing was really for the royals and nobles.

The Castle kit gave us absolutely nothing but windows and walls. It should have been filled with castle furniture, knights, weird Tudor stuff, paintings...

and stairs...

If you build a platform, and then add two or three tile stairs up to the platform, and then the side stairs to the next floor, that middle banister when added to all stairs won’t happen.

Medieval counters where actually just tables set against a wall, some times, with some open shelving under them. Sinks where self standing with hand pumps to get the water. For the bath, you should use the one the Sims can make on the wood working bench. Need to enable debug items to place it in that build. The most realistic would be an oversized wooden bucket.

There is a sims user named Architectrix, who's probably an IRL architect, who made some years before this kit even came out. They were very accurate ones complete with crenels, merlons, and machicolations. Only base game were used for the castles and the furnishings were from Get Together.

Using the medieval kit with the base game you wind up with a castle that looks like it was renovated during the Victorian period or Edwardian period or one of the many faux-medieval castles built then.

I live in the south of France and there's a ton of castles here. They mostly have narrow spiral staircases, I still hate that we don't have those in the game.

10:10 The suits of armor now are to represent what would have been guards standing watch, but castle guards wouldn't have worn full suits of armor, they would've worn chainmail and an open faced helmet and they would've had some type of polearm as a weapon for forward attacks because medieval castles were actually designed to be mazes with tightish hallways and stair cases that bottleneck large forces... All designed to defend the main tower and the throne room

They had soap in medieval times lol. Its a misconception medieval people were dirty. They werent. They had soaps and even toothpaste. They also wore a lot of linen that would soak up sweat and dirt, keeping the body clean and free of bad smells. Its not till the Rennisaince (not sure on spelling lol. Forgive me lol) in the 1500s when people started to stop bathing, and that was because the water was so dirty, too dirty for people to believe it was safe to bathe. So they would wash up much like, um...fun girls...if you know what i mean lol...in a bowl, and again...linen. It wasnt all bad in medieval times.

Also, the windows wouldnt be on the bottom floor. Castles were made for defense, not looks. Windows on the bottom floor defeats that purpose lol. But thats the sims teams fault.

A lot of the staircase clipping is a problem that EA needs to solve...but to get rid of the railing that's dividing the staircase in two, just use a platform, a wide staircase where you have two side-by-side, and multiple staircases where you have one bending.

Of course they had soap in the medieval times hahaha

Everyone telling Satch how to stop the middle railing on the stairs using playforms.. it SHOULDNT be that difficult! That’s the point

Historical cleanliness with SatchOnSims.

4:43 Counters and whatnot would just be wooden tables. I don't know if the tables work as prep areas during gameplay, but it's worth trying out.

lilsimsie made a build with this shell and turned it into a wedding venue, it looked really good. like an old fancy church. in my game i didn't use the shell, but i built a medieval castle on the von haute estate lot in windenburg. i tried to make it as historically accurate as possible in the sims 4, like only having 1-2 bathrooms and having a dungeon and having exterior defense walls with ladders for "guards" (i just put telescopes). the von haute estate is really the best place for this because of the gardens on the property with a wedding section and because its MEANT to be a historical house with modern necessities. so it makes sense to have some historical inaccuracies and you can fill up space with plaques

you forgot to use basements again, kitchen and servant's area used to be under the ground at that med. time

@thevirtualtraveler

Actually basements (and servants working in them), are more of a late 19th century thing. Pre-industrial revolution, basements would have been way too expensive and very impractical. The had root cellars; smoke houses; separate buildings for kitchens, so if the kitchen caught on fire, it wouldn't burn the whole castle; and laundry was an outdoor activity.

I would love to see you playing the sims medieval. Shanice Shanice would be the best Queen ever!

A person would need to waste a little, but there is such a thing as using an extra paper towel to shut off the faucets in restrooms. Also, I imagine that the 8 second rule probably applies to faucets too, and even if they're still wet from the previous user, you're going to be drying your hands soon. It's too bad that all restrooms can't be touch-free automatic, but those are probably expensive.

The castles look good in the magic and vampire worlds.

lol I’m pretty sure they had soap

Omg satch please wash your hands ….. lol

People had buckets of water in kitchens. They didn't wash their hands much though... Also, as for the lack of soap thing: everybody stank, so people probably just sort of... got used to the smell 😅 castle forts also often had like basically toilets with chutes that led down to the moat, so yeah... smelled lovely. Some invaders would actually climb up the toilet chutes and stab people up the bum to death. The more you know eh 😂😂

I'm currently doing this shell challenge myself, but I'm not restricting myself. I've found I'm using a ton of base game stuff, namely a lot of things that mention Princess Cordelia. In the description of the lot, it says she owned this castle. Elsewhere in the game it says she was into pirates and submarines so I've been keeping that in mind.

Soap is an old invention, I think they did have an older version of soap in the medieval times, but they used a bowl of water to wash their hands mostly on the outside though, not so much in the kitchen. Just to make it easier for themselves.

My parents were house hunting and drove past a castle (not authentic, just built to look like a castle + it was actually horrendous looking) in the middle of a suburban area.

you should do this again using all of the kits you have. love your builds! :)

I bought it, mainly because I have a royalty save, and all my fave sims-builders are already using this pack 😒 but the builds are so good and fit perfectly in my royalty save 😂😂 I was also was planning a "medieval" save because I was cleaning my cc and realised I have A LOT of those theme items, that dont quite fit in the time fram of my royalty save 😂😂 down to the kitchen and bathroom and clothes, I tested it out and with all my other packs it looks great 😂😂 i was pleasantly surprised with how useful this pack was for me 😅

usually the servants would live in the attic proper luxury

I feel like this could be a cute renowated medieval castle to use as like a tourist attraction/airbnb lmao we don't even have a medieval setting in the sims ☠

You could've use those square rooms to put stairs for upper floors. And you are right Satch, we can't build proper medieval castle with just base game objects. We can build the more modern ones like the one you seen in Downton Abbey and such, but a proper one need vampire and get together at least.

7:27 It's close though. That personal baths would've been made of wood like an oversized barrel or it would've been made out of metal with a small fire underneath to keep the water hot. Porcelain was not a thing.

8:55 The servant's quarters would be in the basement or the bottom floor in the back, also the kitchen would be in the bottom floor or the basement in the back and all the food would be carried up to the feast hall or the throne room.

Medieval toilets should be in another building especially if it's not some royal person. Mostly it would probably only ever be like a small build made of wood and then a wood toilet with a hole in the ground.

i don’t have this kit and instead i used the Jungle Adventure build assets for this castle and it works quite well

you could do a stairs with a platform to avoid the middle railing, couldn't you? It is sad you didn't visit castles. Devon Pumpkin explained he used to go to castles on field trips which sounds awesome.

It's a neogothic Victorian castle, not a medieval one - crenellations are purely decorative and it doesn't have even a hint of a moat. The outside part is wrong even for a 19th century castle; if you have only one entrance there should be a (hopefully long) driveway ending in a circle in front of the terrace. And you don't have to put much inside anyway; if it's not a royal or National Trust castle they've had to sell off all the good stuff anyway.

the second from the right one is suitable for castle to give some light 02:30

“There isn’t really a medieval world…” *Windenburg: …*

Kinda respect them going with the meme of putting a beautiful european castle in the middle of americana suburbia willow creek

Im pretty sure you can put platform and attach stairs to it to not have to deal with the fence

1:23 Are we doing new castles or old castles? Old castles normally had the stairs inside the towers because the middle spaces of the main floors were heavily utilized.... Or the stairs were off to the side of the main floors.

It is possible to make the staircase without the railing in the middle by using a platform. You place the platform and raise it up a few ticks. Then place a double staircase leading from the floor to the platform and then from the platform to the next level you can place the staircases heading in opposite directions 😊

11:32 "every single room is basically a direct copy of each other" So.. just like the royals themselves? 😂

I kinda wanna turn Newcrest into an entire medieval town 🤔

Fun Fact: washing hands wasn't a thing until 1847 when Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor, realized it was helpful with staying healthy. When he said this though people clapped back and put him in a mental asylum. He died of sepsis from the injuries he got from the beatings of his attendents.

That kit is the first pack or kit that I purchased almost immediately after release. Since we're living in the 21st century, I would furnish that shell accordingly with all other packs and kits. The Royal Family probably doesn't live in the Middle Age style anymore. 😝

The rooms being copies of each other killed me

Read some Romance novels. They do thorough research so you would know how they wash their hands and where they poo. Eventually they would have used more modern furnishings

1:40 use platforms, my guy 💖

Working on my 2nd castle using basegame only.

06:10 sorry but best sims spin-off is Sims Castaway

Medieval people weren't dirty! They had soap and they washed, they just didn't take.as many full baths bc it was a lot of work but they weren't any different from us they wanted to be clean too. They didn't really know about germs so yeah washing hands wasn't seen as that important especially if they would just get dirty again but in their defense saying tiny creatures ypu can't see are living on your hands and will make you sick of you dont wash DOES sound crazy if you don't know any better.

ok, now do the same but with every pack❤

you can make a grand staircase using a platform

hey bud you are forgeting the medieval interior items will be in a future expatiion pack (sorry my bad should have said kit)? checkout curse forge for the medieval items

Bet here will be another kit pack with castle estate furniture and another one again with clothes.....

Do a mid evil let’s play!

This is wonderful it looks like out of Hogwarts Harry Potter so yeah I like your character is because it’s good also I like you and Redhead gaming that’s a over KZreadr he done p vs z

7:13 don't most public bathrooms have motion activated sinks now?

How dare you be British and not live in a castle nor wear one of those little Peaky Blinders hats!! :P

If you put one staircase in the middle, the two on both sides, doesnt the middle go away???

What do you mean they didn't have soap? Of course they had soap

Hi Satch, theres been a Malware issue going around when it comes to downloading mods for Sims 4. I think it would be nice if you covered it as a warning.

🤣 i love how he kept saying how he could never live in the medieval times cause he's too clean......bruv you were born and lived in these times how would you know about what Modern times used or what you would do. How can you possibly know what toilet paper is?! Unless you died reincarnated back to those times you being born and raised in medieval times you would most definitely use the "poo brush" 🤣
