Medeival town theme help - Updated

[Isnt-it-pretty]

I've finally decided on my official theme. I want to do a medieval town (ignoring villagers because I care for my dreamies more than fitting the theme) i have a castle and a peasant's farm. I was thinking maybe a church for my third house? Not sure about the fourth. Also not sure what bridges or town hall theme i should use. Or what other pwp would work.

Edit: I've decided to do a tavern for my fourth house, and im going to put a courtyard in front of my castle. Im thinking, since all my houses are on one side of town, I may do a think forest on the other? Kind of like the Black forest in Germany? Idk forests have always just seemed very medieval to me. Any idea on PWP I could use or ways to organize my courtyard? Or rooms to put in my church and tavern houses?

I know i dont want to use the fantasy theme, because im not really going for fantasy, more like a full on medieval town

You could do a pub or bakery and maybe add an inn on the top floor for the fourth house. I would use the japanese town hall because it looks like it could be part of a village. For bridges, I would go with either the suspension, cobblestone, or fairy-tale bridge. It depends on if you want to match it with a path or something.

oooh i love the idea of an inn!! thank you!!

I would suggest a suspension bridge near your farm, and a cobblestone bridge near your castle...and I guess a cobblestone bridge near your inn, too, though the wooden bridge could also look nice.

One thing I would suggest for your interiors is to not use anything that requires electricity. I've seen a few medieval/otherwise old-fashioned towns that had, like, TVs or modern kitchens with dishwashers, etc. To me, it ruined the feel of the town. (Though of course, if you decide those things make you happy, use them anyway because it's most important that you're happy with your town.)

thank you! And dont worry, im not. all the kitchen in the houses use fires, all the furniture is wooden, and all the lights are candles. I like the ideas for the bridges though, thank you!

I'm not sure how you would go about this, but I think you could pull off some kind of courtyard in front of the castle or a regal place if you have room. Have a fountain in the middle with flowers perhaps? Maybe using the wisteria trellis. I dunno, I thought it'd be a nice touch

oooh that'd be really cool!

I think the zen bridges would go well. They just look very medieval, suspension bridges could work too if you'd prefer that, though.
Stonehenge PWP would be a necessity I'd think. And a stone tablet somewhere near one of your houses maybe? Outside the church?
Log benches would also go well, I'm not sure how many of them we can have in one town but I was thinking if you could make like a little courtyard area somewhere around the castle? Just a thought. Maybe add some zen streetlights in that area, the fountain....could use floor patterns to make it like a cobbled effect.

Good luck

 

[Isnt-it-pretty]

Awesome thank you!

 

[namiieco]

i feel like perfect apple trees and maybe trees with no leaves would go well
a bonfire area with the camp, fire pit and stuff
maybe some kind of farm using the rice racks?

hmmm personally I think the stone bridges would work the best, as stone bridges seem medieval to me. for your paths I think a cobble stone mossy type or even just a natural path would look beaut. I love the ideas of the buildings u have already, and I really love the theme you've chosen- I've never seen anyone do it on this site before so kudos to you for being so original!

 

[Isnt-it-pretty]

thank you so much!

 

[Isnt-it-pretty]

its offical, im doing a courtyard

Awesome! Are you going to be putting a dream address up when it's all done? I don't think I've ever seen this idea done in a town before. Would love to see it when it's all finished

 

[Isnt-it-pretty]

Yes I will be!

Love the idea and the ideas others have come up with, nothing major to add & you don't mention villagers - but I have Sterling (Jock eagle) who wears armor and has armor in his house.
Can't recall where all that furniture comes from - there's the suits of armor, (Plate armor?) armour you can display on the wall (Pirates armor?) - someone help me out here!
The stained glass wall item which can be customised to give the right feel.
You can buy clothes that fit that theme as well (& hence dress a mannequin). A lot of this fits the antique interior theme (check Liquefy's item faq on gamefaqs).
The easiest place to look would be Morib - but its down/no longer available?
Just an aside Stone Henge would have been around of course, but doesn't have a medieval feel to my mind (more Druid/ancient I suppose). It would work, sorry, & also PWP the well & the bells (Zen is the older looking one).

 

[Isnt-it-pretty]

thank you! but im unfortunately really not interested in villagers who fit my theme. I would love to have many who do, but im far too attatched with my dreamies for that.

stone/dirt paths and have the castle house exterior for your house

Another interesting suggestion, you know how they punished people by throwing tomatoes at them through that wooden thing they had to stick their face in (forgot the name!)? Maybe you could have a face cut-out pwp and have it designed accordingly to that. Put some apples on the ground as representation? Haha, I don't know. I just wanted to throw that out there.
