Oh man, one of my sims is REALLY going to like these. Also, I've been meaning to build a pipe organ, which means building a church, which will look funny without crosses.

Don't think I'll put the cross in my yard, though. That's a bit much (and kind of creepy) if you ask me.

Actually, that's called a "Saint Peter's cross" and it's not as edgy as you think. The symbolism is Saint Peter believing himself unworthy to be killed in the same manner as Christ, and to show his deference to the Lord, he asked to have his crucifix turned upside down. So wearing your little upside-down cross? Is showing the Lord he's better than you, buddy.

Go cry, emo kid, et c.

Maybe he was asking for the inverted cross because he has some Sims who also deem themselves unworthy in the eyes of Jebus?

Now I'm going to have to take up creating just so I can make some pentagrams and pentacles as well as some alchemic circles and celtic symbols to hang in my pagan sims homes.

That cross with Jesus on it just had me rolling with laughter, idk y. And the picture with the sims in the chruch reading.... Do the Sims even HAVE an official religion yet? This was just great! Thanks

And VERY good, Geekgirl!

PLEASE do so. My wiccan/sorcerer Sims are *starving* for cool decor; I don't know how much more of this I can take; them going without.

What it meant in the past is not what it means today.
The swastika used to be a symbol of peace or sainthood. But is that what you think when you see one today?

I second further religious symbols. They add a nice touch to neighborhoods.

Still, these are cool scenery (the corpus would be more awesome if it were a Sim body XD) and would also make an awesome addition to vampire stories and all kinds of stuff.

These are perfect. I'm making an old missionary museum type of church for weddings (built next to a hospital that was supposedly started by missionaries), this will be perfect! Obviously sims don't really have any religion, but it adds story depth for me personally so I would definitely like to see more religious themed objects. I'd like for someone to make some Buddhist statues so that I can build some temples in China.

Well I thank you a lot , I wasn't looking for anything like this, but when I saw the crosses I just wanted them.
And you made me think that religion and/or spirituality is one of the most important things for human beings, so Why Sims are godless beings It would be great if on one expantion, EA adds spirituality to the world of the sims, it would make them a lot more realistic

These are nice. Could you make tiny versions of the wall and table ones so we could use them in homes.

One of the things I find most appealing about the Sims games is the fact that they are not religious. It makes for a much happier world I'd say.

Nice work on these crucifixes, they look great! But personally I just don't think they belong in the Sim world.

Which is why I won't be downloading this :P

Yes you are right, it's good that there is no religion in the Sims and I was very hesitant before I uploaded them. But earlier, I have uploaded a Buddha and there are construction of many churches in the Sims.
Undoubtedly, religion plays an important role in real life and this may well be appropriate to also have it in the game for those who wish.

These are great, as are candles and other items of yours I have downloaded today. One question, the long table with white cloth you have the crosses and candle displayed on, where did you get it? I want it!!! :D
