The title is selling this post a little bit short because it’s not just tweets about weird things, it’s also cute things and a bit of rambling and some extra picture to boot! The Sims Medieval is a great game, and I just wanna talk about it.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started playing this one, since it’s different from the main games. You create sims to fill roles within the kingdom (monarch, doctor, spy, bard, mage, blacksmith, knight, etc.), you choose three traits, one of which is negative, and then you use the sims to complete quests, which get scores that affect the kingdom overall, which helps you accomplish bigger goals and unlock things. There’s less focus on little everyday things, there’s not much for sims to do besides work and complete tasks for the quest, but you can still have relationships and do whatever you want.
Where it really shines though is that it’s such a charming, lively, visually beautiful game with so much personality! They really went all out with the vibes and details. I’ve had a lot of fun playing, as you’ll see below 🙂
I'm playing The Sims Medieval for the first time. It's his first day, and my king is already trying to seduce a bard instead of focusing on his responsibilities, so I'd say it's going well! He's gonna be a great king 😂 pic.twitter.com/Wg7cU3DpsW

In my Sims Medieval town, the king gets drunk before 9am, the doctor is up half the night with insomnia, the knight is preoccupied with getting laid, & the bard has a gambling problem, but despite their flaws & struggles, they're running things well. It's kind of inspiring.

My king also constantly makes out with his paramour publicly in the middle of the throne room, which probably isn't very kingly behavior, but people love him, so he must be doing something right 😂

Ok I've just realized "paramour" is specifically an illicit lover of someone cheating on their partner. My bad! The king is not married. He is just making out with his lover. He might have a drinking problem, but he's not a cheater.

Also I love this town where nobody is beholden to an arbitrary 9-5 schedule. Doctor has insomnia, but it's not even a problem cuz he can sleep when he's able, and there are patients in the office at 3 in the morning!

Some Sims Medieval updates!
– King now has a parrot. It sits on a perch next to his throne. He's really leaning into the eccentric thing.
– Just spent $5000 decorating the throne room. Worth it.
– Updated outfit to match.
– He's not bad, he's actually beloved, just weird lol. pic.twitter.com/xOipZH0QUK— Kit (Metaphors and Moonlight) (@KitTheNameless) March 6, 2022
Ok I just looked at pictures of other people's throne rooms, and man, I have got to get my sim some more money.

Ok the king is broke now, but this throne room is a little fancier 😅 pic.twitter.com/9EKDhxMMCy

It's not flashy, but I decided to give my knight's room a lil glow-up, and I think it looks nice 🙂 (One of those stone things in the corner is a bookshelf.) I don't normally share my building/decorating in The Sims, but this game is so charming! pic.twitter.com/ea44KmPMig

My king in The Sims Medieval already had one parrot named Sir Squawks. Someone just gifted him another parrot. Perhaps I should just roll with this and get him a bunch and fill the throne room with birds, make him the weird bird king.

I forgot how much fun The Sims Medieval is, how pretty the world is, how cute the outfits are, how lively everything is! (Wings are a mod.) pic.twitter.com/g29fUucLoc

Just a funny update, my king is still broke and still trying to get enough money to decorate his throne room, and the rest of his castle. But they’re currently in the middle of a war, so he has to keep up appearances, can’t let the other factions know he has no money. So it all goes to his throne room, and his living quarters are basically a hovel.
Anyway… The world is beautiful. The outfits are so detailed and old-timey and fun! Sims themselves have a lovely skin texture. There’s always so much stuff happening, sims everywhere, talking, sword fighting, brawling, trading goods, gambling, singing, romancing, working. The world feels so alive. I think the purple dusk is a mod, but here are some more pictures, just because I love how cute everything is!
I gotta say I didn’t play that one.. but you’re make it sounds so fun! I love those posts xx
It’s so much more fun than I was expecting!
How did I not know about SIMS Medieval?? I like the idea of a bird king. Imagine a throne room full of parrots! The river shot is pretty too. The stained glass windows, and that last shot too with the nighttime scene.
I’m working on the bird king throne room, he’s just too broke, haha. It’s all so pretty! That’s why I couldn’t resist sharing all the pictures lol.
Hahaha, life is never dull in The Sims world. 🙂
It really isn’t!
