Dragon's Child - Kingdom of Ur-Bet

$279,428 Simoleons
Mostly Unfurnished
5 x 6 lot
-----------------------------------------------


Somewhere along the ancient silk road, over the mountain passes, exists the fabled kingdom of Ur-Bet. Long ago, a traveling caravan happened into the Ur-Bet valley. With them, they brought a rare dragon child.



The people were enchanted by the rare dragon and paid a high cost to procure it's protection for their kingdom. They built a special elven arbor and placed it's roost there for all the village people to visit and honor with gifts of delectable food.

The caravan went on it's way, over the high mountain passes only to find the enraged parent dragons on the far side. The Dragon parents seared the caravan to ash and went up the mountain seeking their stolen child.

The guardian at the high pass learned what had happened to the caravan far below and warned the kingdom of the dragon's approach. The King hurriedly summoned the court magicians who frantically cast spells to hide the kingdom from the approaching dragons.

Will the magicians be able to hide the kingdom of Ur-Bet before the dragon's appear? Will the villagers harvest their crop in time? Can the castle dungeon harbor the townspeople? If the kingdom releases the dragon's child, will the parents forgive the kingdom or, will the village meet it's fiery doom? Only you can learn how this story continues.

**********************************************************

The castle contains secret passages,a dungeon stronghold, hidden springs and a small village complete with bath house. You can make this lot a secret destination in Bon Voyage.






==========================================================

Sniff... My lot was too big to upload in a furnished state, so I pulled most of the furnishings out except for a few key pieces. I've given the links to recommended content. See pics for what I had originally furnished. :0)

IMPORTANT Installation notes:

This lot is 34MB. Since there is a 10MB limit on file size, I had to chop this lot up. :0) You need to download all 4 rar parts into a folder by itself and then unRAR part one. It will automatically unpack the other parts and reassemble itself into a sims2pack file. Then install the Sims2pack in the normal manner. I've tested this several times and it works fine. :0)

REMEMBER- DOWNLOAD ALL 4 PARTS or your lot WILL NOT WORK.



Additional Credits:
Thanks to all the wonderful, generous creators who allow their stuff to be used in lots so we can make fun lots like this one.

********************************************

Note on EPs used.

Bon Voyage - This lot requires Bon Voyage for the roof styles. You can install it in non-Bon Voyage, but you'll get a totally different look to the default roof replacements that the game provides. It also has fountains, spas, decorative garden objects from Bon Voyage.

FFS is needed for the various landscape trees that Numenor extracted. You can replace the missing treees from available trees in your game.

Seasons - This uses sprinklers and garden plots from Seasons.

Pets - the DRAGON is cloned form a bird, You'll need PETS if you want dragons.

Other EPs - I used lots of CC for the decorations and build items. I believe most of them are cloned from base game, however, I am not 100% positive.
