The Yacobian Cathedral of Aarbyville

Welcome to San Sequoia's tourist attraction no 1, the Yacobian Cathedral! I just got the The Sims 4 Growing Together expansion pack, and I had planned so much for this world that I'm still very busy building and adjusting. It's a lovely world, I'm positively surprised thanks to quite some simmer community negativism. I'll probably post more about this pack once I get to explore more - including gameplay. But for now, the cathedral!

I planned a church on this lot in Hoapwell Hills back when I saw the map. There are tons of details and history in my game, even in worlds that I don't yet own. San Sequoia is the center of Region 6, a region that in early years was called Aarbyville, based on the original hood, Aarby Wharf. Later on it grew, but the region kept it's old name.

The cathedral was built in the Medieval era, and I based the front on the Yacobian church from Sims Medieval. Back then Yacobian Faith was supported by the King, but around Year 100 Church of Similius became Mazaloom kingdom's official religion. Aarbyville is the only region that still has a Yacobian Priest, and because it's a cathedral, probably the largest of the kingdom, I gave him the Bishop title. However, The Yacobian Faith's impact is restricted to Region 6.

Growing Together: Astronomy?

I double checked the Growing Together EP trailer to look for any hints of Astronomy. Simmers have pointed out that there are many items hinting to such a theme, and some even questioned whether there will be some alien improvement with the March 16th release.

So, what did I find?

Protect your Infant!

(Year 230, Summer) In Windenburg there lives a big family in an old, tiny house locally known as Cottage Am See. Heidi (Lobster) Wooblershield (50) raised four children, and is still not done with that job, as the youngest is just about starting school. With all her baby experience she now reacts to how many parents leave their infants and toddlers unprotected in the sun.

- I'm surprised - not to say shocked, when I see small helpless infants put down on a mat in the heating sun without sunglasses! How can  any parent think that is a great idea to expose those young eyes with extreme bright light? Some wear a sunhat, which might help a little on a clouded day, but on a sunny Summer day a hat is far from enough! The infant's eyes are not prepared for such bright light, and the skin of an infant or toddler has absolutely no desire to be exposed for the burning sun at all!

New EP: Growing Together

So, the trailer for the next The Sims 4 Expansion Pack is here! And this will definitely be a pack with features involving all life stages: Generations!

I wanted to check out the new world San Sequoia, but the trailer hardly shows anything from the world, so we might get a look at this later.

Added this world picture that was not included in the trailer, but was found elsewhere.
