Gwrych March Set Four: 6 COMMUNITY Lots

General Gwrych March Notes:
Welcome BACK to Gwrych! There are 27 lots divided between 4 Posts. Post 1 has 6 Residential Lots. Post 2 has 6 Residential Cottages (13 downloads). Post 3 has 2 Hotel Lots. Post 4 has 6 Community Lots.The lots in this collection are mainly EDITED versions of lots from the "A Small Kingdom" collection. They have been revised with MEDIEVAL decor using ALL EPs and STUFF PACKS as well as User Created Custom Content. Also, I've included several alternative versions of stoves, trash cans, dishwashers, trash compactors and sewing machines in these lots. Each FURNISHED residential lot in this collection has an invisible smoke alarm and I've hidden the burglar alarm behind furniture or inside barrels. So, please be sure to play test your lots to discover where everything is and what everything does. Each lot should contain all your Sims need to live!

While the Gwrych Kingdom and Duchy lots were moreso designed for the upper nobility, the Gwrych March and Barony are designed for the lower nobility and the lower classes. The buildings will be a bit more worn and fitting to the lower classes. Even within the hovel community, there is a ranking system for the houses.

There is no "separate" objects download zip for the Gwrych "March" Collection (as I included in the original Gwrych post of 45 lots). All objects are included in the lots. The zip folders also contain Maxis/EA recolors that do not automatically zip with the lots. Be sure to include add these objects to your Downloads folder. I also encourage allowing the objects you download in this collection to override older versions of the objects shared in the original Gwrych post (45 lots), as some of the objects used have been updated.

The lots in the Gwrych March were designed for my "GWRYCH NEIGHBORHOOD MAP 4" found in Post 2 HERE. Of course you are free to use another Neighborhood Map, but keep in mind that the Beach Lots (in the upcoming Barony set shares this map) may not show properly in neighborhoods they were not designed for. Please keep this in mind. See the following image to set-up you Gwrych March Neighborhood.

Lastly...for those of you who cannot download this collection for one reason or another, please understand that these lots are also represented in the "A SMALL MODERN KINGDOM" collection found HERE. However, "A Small Kingdom" lots are decorated using Maxis/EA only furnishings and objects, therefore it is moreso a "Modern Meets Medieval" collection.

Please enjoy the downloads and happy Simming!

March Hovel Harvest Field 1 (COMMUNITY LOT)

LOT INFORMATION
Lot Size: 3 x 1
Lot Cost: 0 Simoleons (Community Lot)
Total Toilets: 2 (with 2 Showers)

Lot Description:
This lot is the 1st of 2 Planting and Harvesting Fields meant to compliment the March Hovel lots. Activities include skill building "ploughing"*, planting, painting, barbecue camping, ax throwing, pottery making, chess playing and hanging out with your Sim friends.

- IMPORTANT Note
There is an invisible video game console with interactions for ploughing that give your Sims mechanical and/or physical points thanks to Sophie-David with permission to use of the Invisible Mail Console originally created by Jason Duskey. Simply click around the left handle of the plough and allow your Simmies to have a bit of practical FUN while on the lot.

In order to actually GAIN skill points while using the console on a community lot, I highly recommend using Pescado's Community Lot Skilling and Enthusiasm hack found HERE. Using this hack will allow your Simmies to gain skill and enthusiasm points with any/all Maxis/EA related tasks from chess to reading, etc.

March Church and Gift Shop (COMMUNITY LOT)


LOT INFORMATION
Lot Size: 3 x 3
Lot Cost: 0 Simoleons (Community Lot)
Total Toilets: 4 (with 1 shower)

Lot Description:
This lot is meant to compliment the March Parson's Cottage. It includes a Church with a small lounge and Parson's private office and a small Charity Shop. Activities include reading, crystal ball computers, buffet, barbecue, a shower and shopping.


March Bathhouse (COMMUNITY LOT)

LOT INFORMATION:
Lot Size: 3 x 1
Lot Cost: 0 Simoleons (Community Lot)
Total Toilets: 3

Lot Description:
This lot should be placed near the Parson's and the March Church lots. Apparently, the local Parson decided it would be wasteful not to use the remaining Church bricks in a constructive manner. So, he had a local Bathhouse built. While one might question his reason for building the Bathhouse, no one can question the "spiritual" idea that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". This lot has a small kitchen (restaurant) with outdoor seating, a barbecue campfire and a bathing house with 3 private tubs. Other activities include shopping (books/magazines), chess playing, painting, television, massages and reading.


March Shops - Restaurant, Tavern, Book Store, Tailor's Shop (COMMUNITY LOT)


LOT INFORMATION
Lot Size: 3 x 2
Lot Cost: 0 Simoleons (Community Lot)
Total Toilets: 5

Lot Description:
This lot includes a Tavern (with a Restaurant), a Book Store and a Fabric Store. There is a gallows in the center of the shopping village to deter petty theft. Activities include reading, grocery shopping, clothing shopping, book shopping, reading, eating at a restaurant, drinking at the pub, Fortune Telling (computers), Crystal Ball television (in the Used Books section/Upper Floor of Book Store), planting, card playing, darts, painting, sewing and pottery.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* - NECESSARY DOWNLOADS
To keep this lot within size constraints I removed the 2 largest objects from the Downloads folder before zipping. Therefore you MUST download Targa's Ascension Version 2 - One tile teleporting stairs found HERE and Pherver's Keg found HERE if you wish for these objects to show properly in your lot.

* There is an invisible sewing table on the second floor of the Clothing Shop in the Lady's Department. Simply click on the table with the sewing paraphenalia to activate the sewing machine.

SUGGESTED Complimentary Downloads: (Things I thought of adding after the above lot was completed!)
The following items (which I have used in The Gwrych Prison lot) are highly recommended to add a bit of medieval flair to the marketplace atmosphere.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* - 4 NECESSARY DOWNLOADS
http://www.personal-computer-tutor.com/sims2/sets.htm
The Blacksmith/Forge items were removed from the Downloads folder prior to zipping because the creators do not allow their objects to be packaged in lots. I also removed the two largest objects by other creators so the lot would not exceed upload limits. You will also need to grab The Makin' Magic Wine Bar by Fresh-Prince and the Haystack Bed (Haystack.zip) by -Maylin- as well. Otherwise, these 4 items will be replaced with regular Maxis/EA objects when if you enter the lot. Links below.
* CLICK HERE to download Phaenoh's Blacksmith Crafting Station .
* CLICK HERE to download Buntah's Blacksmith Set found HERE.
* CLICK HERE to download Fresh-Prince's Makin' Magic Wine Bar.
* CLICK HERE to download -Maylin-'s Haystack Bed (Haystack.zip) .


KITCHEN SINK CLUTTER DRAMA
Please read this if you are having problems AFTER entering a lot or are receiving an error message about "counters without doors". Otherwise, view this as general information about Gwrych lots.

Apparently, you CANNOT use "move objects on" to place objects on the back of a counter where there is a kitchen sink. In some of my Gwrych lots, I found an error with placing sponges in the back corner of counters that have kitchen sinks. Initially, I thought it was that sponges could not be placed on counters where there is a kitchen sink, but have since discovered that no objects should share the counter tile when there is a sink in the counter. If you have found you were receiving a counter error when entering a Gwrych lot with a Sim...there may be objects sharing kitchen sink counter space (like the hour glass, sponge, plant or jars) that I overlooked in the process of fixing this problem. Please understand that this may NOT be the issue if your game is constantly crashing. It is just one possible solution I offer. Testing the Gwrych lots on different computers has resulted in ALL Gwrych lots being playable from this end. As errors are encountered during game play, solutions are also sought. If you are only having problems with a few lots, this may (or may not) be part of the problem. To fix this problem, all you need to do is to load a new version of the lot, enter it WITHOUT A SIM and delete any objects that are sharing a counter with a kitchen sink. Also, if you notice there seems to be no sink in an area where there should be one (especially bathrooms and kitchens)...try adding a sink to the empty counters. If you cannot place a sink on a counter, that counter should be deleted and put back in the game before adding a sink. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Remember, enter the lot WITHOUT a Sim to make changes.

Adding clutter to the back slots of counters that do not have a kitchen sink appear to work just fine. So clutter away on counters without sinks!
