Third Fall
Weddings!
12/26/2008 5:55 PM
There have been a lot of weddings lately, with a new generation moving to Windleport Castle.
 
Here are pictures from three weddings of soldiers of the Garrison, all arranged at the Falcon Crest Inn in the Castle.
 
Here is how I do the weddings at community lots - this one for example is a hotel, but it works for community lots as well.
I let the main sim go to the lot in question. He can go alone, you add the sim he/she is marrying and needed guests later.
 
The lot in question needs to have a phone, not just a community phone, but an ordinary phone. I also prepare the lot with all the props needed for a wedding, like a buffet table, a wedding arch and so on. If you need to add anything, use this cheat after you entered the lot:
boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled true
and you can add anything you need.
(I always start with adding the wedding cake, I don't like that to be there in advance, its useless if there isn't a wedding.)
So you have everything you need for the party. Now, open the cheat window and type:
changeLotZoning residential
Important: do NOT save after entering this cheat. If you do, you will bork the game.
Now you can use the phone to invite guests to the wedding. Don't forget to invite the bride/groom. Invite as many as your computer can handle. If you forget anyone really important, you can teleport them in later.
The guests arrive and the wedding starts. I usually wait until the wedding is over successfully before I change the zoning back, but you can change it as soon as the wedding started - the wedding wont stop if you do that.
As soon as the wedding is over, use this cheat to change zoning back:
changeLotZoning community
or
changeLotZoning hotel
if the lot is a hotel. Now you can leave the lot and go home with the new spouse, as usual. Or stay for the night if the lot is a hotel. (I usually reserve a suit before the wedding starts, you need to change the lot zoning back to be able to use the suit.)
My weddings have been working excellent, with the limo ride in the end and everything. I haven't tried to book a honey moon trip to a vacation hood, I am not sure that would be a good idea. You can always book a vacation trip when you get back to the residential lot, if you want one.
 
Here are pictures from three weddings at Falcon Crest Inn:
 
Matthew Sheldon married Arachne:
Matthew and Arachnes wedding
Matthew Sheldon is the youngest of the Sheldon brothers, and recently joined the Windle Garrison to make a military career. He is Violet Sheldons son, but the bloodline on his fathers side is a bit.. foggy. He looks quiet different from his brothers.
 
He married the very young and sweet Arachne Sanders, a servant girl he fell deeply in love with. They have moved to a small but nice apartment in the Castle Wall.

Morty is a veteran at the Garrison, and seemed to be one of those eternal bachelors. Now he found true love, marrying Laura Cameron.

Another unmarried soldier that gave in, late in life: Black Raven already lost his raven hair, but maybe Alice will give the autumn days of his life a golden glow?

Next rotation, a new generation of little soldier boys will be born in the Castle. Some of the new wives are already expecting.
Third Fall
The Falcon Crest - Castle Inn
12/22/2008 4:25 PM
For more family oriented festivities, like weddings, and for more classy guests to the Castle, the Falcon Crest Inn, is a more suitable place to go than the more sleezy Hawk & Pidgeon.
As every other house in the Castle, it is owned by Lord Ingvar, who gets all the income from all the houses, thanks to Simlogicals Lot Owners mod.

Many weddings take place at the Falcon Crest Inn.

Important outings are a common sight. Here some of the officers of the Garrison, with Lady Isabella and Lady Ingrid.

Playing Notes: It is possible to have a hotel in a normal hood or subhood, if you have the Bon Voyage Expansion. Build the hotel (I used a community lot to start with) then use the cheat to change the lot zoning to hotel (ChangeLotZoning Hotel), save and exit to hood view.
The hotel works - with the exception of having tour guides, and other stuff which depends on the Vacation Hoods. There are no tourists. Other visitors than yours don't check in in the other rooms (which is sad, that would be cool) but I never had any other guests in the Vacation Hoods either..
With the Lot Owner mod of Simlogical I set Lord Ingvar to get the income from the hotel, it works great.
