As an old G&S fan, I love these! Beautiful artwork, and very evocative of the operettas. "Yeoman" isn't one of my favorites - I can never accept the ending. Nevertheless the poster you did for it is especially striking, conveying the haunting ending. My two favorites are Iolanthe and Ruddigore, although I frequently find myself humming or singing snatches from Mikado and "terrified amateurs" comes up frequently in my conversation when describing the world in general.

I tend to play the sims with walls down, but will have to have some special places to hang these. Thank you!

LOL! I am the very model of a modern major savoyard
I love these Even though I don't much use simlish in my game, these will be used. Oh, yeah!

Love these! I still have them in my game for custom paintings - one of these days I'll come up with the perfect scenario to use them in my BaCC (I have a future Entertainer wannabe that's about ready to go to Uni...).

Beautiful job!

I used to think I was the only Savoyard simmer out there, but apparently I'm not. Hello, everyone! (performs secret Savoyard handshake)

@mac I'm so glad you enjoy the poster set! I used to not like the ending of Yeomen either, but as I've gotten older, I can see that Elsie and Jack Point are very poorly suited. He never thinks of her as a person at all, only in relation to himself, and that bothers me. I still feel really sorry for him, though. My favorite would have to be Mikado, which I saw when I was twelve, and one of the Gentlemen Of Japan (who knew my mother) came up to me in costume after the show and asked how I enjoyed it. Can't beat an introduction like that! :lovestruc But I like Iolanthe well enough to have it in my username.

@CatherineTCJD I'm so glad you like them! I have a house that is liberally decorated with them in my game, and now I can use them on community lots too. You can never have too much G&S.

@lorinsv60 Now you have more options and can use them on community lots! I look forward to seeing them in Mesa Vista someday.

@PenelopeT You're welcome! I'm so glad you like them!

Thank you for bringing more Simlish into the game! I love how these posters slapped up against community lots and inside of shopping malls really add to the immersion of the game. Thank you!

I'm afraid it's only Symbol, not real Simlish, but I'm glad to hear that you like the posters!

I like Simlish on objects - nice job Esme. You've made me think about making the pub signs I want for my new pub walls. Stoppit!

I'm glad you like the posters! I hope you're not disappointed that the font's only Symbol, not Simlish.

Stopping right now, ma'am! (salutes smartly)

I don't think that matters too much Esme - I have some stuff with English on it but I prefer it if I can't actually understand what it says. They look good anyway.
