Veridia is a historical neighborhood vaguely inspired by Iron Age Britain, with quite a lot of post-Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Generic Medieval Fantasy influences thrown in. Mostly Generic Medieval Fantasy. Magic and spirits are a part of every day life, strange things walk in the woods, and sheep are the backbone of the economy.

Come meet Veridia's playable residents.

household introductions below! )

It’s dawn at the Seax household, and that means SCREAMING TODDLERS.

Now that Elmet has moved out to live with Helenet, things on Hill farm have gotten shaken up before settling into new routines. It’s very quiet here this round. Jia is learning her toddler skills, Drustan is still a very studious and tidy lad, and poor Xiang has had to take over Elmet’s sheeply duties for the time being.

I don’t remember what order I’m supposed to play/post anyone in anymore, whoops. I only realized I played this household before Eisu’s because I was working on uploading his round and realized Gytha and Glamaer had become teenagers off screen.

Anyway, we start off with Gytha offering her brother a few germs.

Shep is having a pretty calm autumn. She checks on the bees (she’s glad now that her mothers insisted she bring that queen bee cell all this way to start a new hive, because the honey has been a nice little boon), chats up random passersby, and works a little bit on her weaving in the evening before it gets too dark for fine work.

The usual happenings are happening at the Salter household: fishing, gardening, salting. Salt-making. Saltifying. Whatever.

Calm the fuck down, Elmet.
Actually, you know what, I finally found the one thing he and Eisu have in common:

His wants panel just looks like that, like, all the time.

I think Diseta’s round came after Shep last time, but since she’s already gotten absorbed into the Seax household, we’re bouncing straight to Helenet and Angus.

Summer is prime time for harvesting Helenet’s herbs, so she and Angus spend their mornings in the garden; many of the herbs are most potent when they’re harvested before the sun hits its peak. Angus quickly loses interest in picking apples and prefers quietly playing with his blocks.

Summer has come to Veridia! Shep takes a break from tending her crops and her hives to visit the well for water and socializing. Mostly socializing. I love her expressions.


Greenshot-2024-09-30-18-31-28

Shep: No one wants to hear about that, Helenet.

1: yes, the house changed completely from their intro

2: Gytha is a ray of sunshine

3: this family does a lot of fishing


Greenshot-2024-09-25-18-21-24

Maybe too much… you okay there, Glamaer?

Glamaer: My face hurts.

Helenet, shoving her whole face into an elderberry bush: I love nature. :)

It’s going to be a short round for Helenet this spring; she mostly spent it running back and forth between the garden and Angus. Also, no one is having babies or getting sick yet (besides Shep), so not much for her to do besides tend the garden and build up her stock of herbs and potions.

These two are adorable and also cannot keep their hands off each other.

Drustan: Eew, kissing!

Okay, fine, you can go with your uncle to the well and carry home buckets of water. :)

Drustan: :(



In my head, Eisu’s and Norweni’s family share the well on Norweni’s lot, since they’re right next to each other, but in reality I’ve made it Elmet’s chore to get water.



Speaking of Norweni! Drustan loves his auntie very much and constantly rolls wants to do things with her.

Is now a good time to say I don’t know anything about blacksmithing? You make the metal hot and smack it around. Sometimes you quench it. That’s the extent of my knowledge.

Shep gets to be my trial-and-error sim and go first this round. As you can see, she’s super thrilled about it.






She soon spots Norweni, starting off on her usual rounds from the Seax farm next-door, and rushes to say hello. Shep has only recently set up shop in Veridia, moving out on her own from her mothers’ home nearby, but Norweni’s younger exploits are legendary in the wider area. Shep would love to hear some stories, maybe over a cup of mead sometime
.

Norweni: That’s all in the past. I prefer not to talk about it. Everything good here? You need anything?

Shep: Uh, no–

Norweni: Great. Let me know if that changes.

Can we all stop standing in the decorative cart???

 





An anon on Tumblr asked about Middleground’s founders, so here's some fun facts about my ancient neighborhood! I truly have no idea how old Middleground is at this point, but I’ve been playing it off and on for an embarrassingly long time considering that most of the second gen is still alive.

Most of the sims here are remakes I created a while ago, because I’m much better (I think) at sculpting sim faces now and also I needed to remake Margarete’s face in order to fix her daughter’s teeth, it’s a long story. Individual pics and some details below! )
