STRAUD - A VAMPIRE STORY.

Prev || Next || Beginning

Transcript under cut:

A few weeks ago.

[Carmilla, off-screen:] I am not sure I understand.

Vladislaus: It is simple, truly. The Vatores have been reckless in their disrespect of the rules I have set in place, for all of our sakes. Caleb in particular has been vocal about his ideas of 'coexisting' with mortals. He says our way of living is ... barbaric.

[Off-Screen, Vladislaus:] So I need you to seduce the young Mister Vatore, to keep him loyal to the Straud name.

Vladislaus: Put those selfsame talents you used onto me, and make him want you, like the beautiful prize you are.

Current day.

Vladislaus: Miss Vatore, would you tell me of your travel to Italy? I do miss her dearly.

[Lilith, off-screen:] Oh, it's beautiful this time of year. The waves are a gorgeous azure color, the beaches ...

Caleb: !!!

[Caleb, in low tones:] Mistress Vatore, what- ... ?

[Carmilla, in low tones:] Do not make it so obvious.

Lilith: ... and of course, one cannot overstate how delightful the food is.

Vladislaus: It sounds like you've had a very enjoyable time, away from the Hollow ... Miss Vatore, do you know why I've said travel is to be avoided ?

Lilith: Master Straud ...

Vladislaus: The world of the mortals is beyond us, now. It is beyond dangerous, any mistake there is a death sentence. Here, you are safe, you are cared for.

Caleb: Master, if I may-

Vladislaus: You may not. Too long have you both disregarded the rules I have laid out for you. One day, you will make a mistake, and it will cost you your very life.

All: ...

Vladislaus: Now, about that dinner ...

Iris: Wait...

Iris: Oh no.

Ezra: Good morning. Iris: We need to talk. Ezra: Oh. Okay. Should I be worried? Iris: I don’t know.

Ezra: What is it? Iris: I’m late. Ezra: Like late late? Iris: [nods]

Ezra: How late? Iris: Enough to worry. Like four weeks. Ezra: … Iris: Will you say something?

Ezra: What do we do? Iris: I should probably take a test. Ezra: Right, um, I’ll get dressed and we can go pick one up. Iris: Okay. Ezra: Do you have any idea what you want to do? If it’s positive, I mean.

Iris: I can go to the clinic. It’s early enough, I’m sure we have options. Ezra: [nods] Is that what you want? Iris: That’s the sensible thing, right? I mean, we’ve only been dating for a few months. Do we really want to jump into raising a child together?

Ezra: What if we did? Would that be the worst thing? Iris: I don’t know. Are you just saying that because you’re against abortions or something? Ezra: No. If that’s what you want to do, then you have my full support. I will be by your side the whole time. But, if that’s not what you want, then I support that too. And I will be by your side the whole time.

Iris: Maybe I should take a test first, and then we can talk about this when it feels less… hypothetical. Ezra: Sure. We can do that.

Ezra: Well? Iris: [nods] I’m pregnant. Ezra: Wow. Okay. How are you feeling?

Iris: Are you still on board with keeping it? This is your chance to change your mind. Ezra: If you want to keep it, then yes, I’m 100% on board. Iris: You’re sure?

Ezra: The timing is not ideal, I admit, there’s still a lot we don’t know about each other yet. But there are three things I do know: I know we both want kids; I know you’re already an amazing mom; and I know that I love you. So, yes, I’m sure.

Iris: I love you too.

Almanara Castle, Historical Landmark in Tatrosa | Museum and Wedding Venue (NO CC)

The Almanara Castle (Also known as "Almanara Al-Tartos", or "Alcazar of Tartosa")

Almanara Castle, once part of the grand Qasr Al-Zayl al-Tartos, was the last refuge of Emir Jabar Al-Tartozi II before the fall of the Emirate of Tartosa in 1497. Spared after the siege, it later became a royal villa and was declared a cultural heritage site in 1876. Now a museum and wedding venue, Almanara offers a glimpse into Tartosa’s past with stunning coastal views.

Lesmana Enterprise led the restoration efforts after the 2021 Tartosa earthquake which damaged the castle, restoring it to its former glory.

The Last of its Kind in Tartosa

This picturesque castle was built in the late 14th century during the early years of the Tartosan Emirate rule by Al-Simhara sulanate engineers.

Its arabesque-moorish architecture is a reminder of a much more different, by-gone era of Tartosa's deep history.

Well Preserved, As if it was Built Yesterday

Our team of highly skilled engineers, historians, craftspeople, and archeologists ensures that the Almanara Castle retains its charm for centuries to come.

From intricate archway designs, geometric tileworks, centuries-old plasters, to water features that had worked for the past 600 years without the use of eletricity, we made sure visitors would experience Almanara Castle the way the Emirs of Tartosa and his royal court had experienced it centuries ago.

The Hall of Jenane

During the rule of Emir Hamid I (AD 1401-1429), Almanara Castle was repurposed as a private quarter of his daughter Amirah Jenane Al-Munr, who added more geometric tilework to the castle, adorned in her favorite azure and tosca colors to every edge of the estate.

In 1415, Amirah Jenane had her wedding in this very hall, where dignitaries from neighboring kingdoms like Kingdom of Windenburg, Grand Duchy of Champ-les-sims, and even norther simlandic kingdoms were invited to attend.

Today, the hall of Jenane becomes an exhibition hall that displays the collections of Amirah Jenane, where centuries-old potteries from different parts of the world can be seen, showing the Amirah's love for future generations who visits the castle.

Also, just like Amirah Jenane, you can experience becoming an Emirate royal by having your wedding in this hall too, by arranging the dates from the Museum's website.

The Emir's Exhibition

On the second floor of the main keep, you can find an exhibition of the Emir Jabar II's personal belongings such as weapons, books, and tapestries.

Pieces like the Emir's silver sword crafted by a Ravenwood master blacksmith, or the Emir's Gunpowder-powered broom crafted by a Glimmerbrook 15th century famed gunsmith-warlock is diplayed in this room.

The Azure Sanctum

In the castle's subterrane, is a breathtaking hall called the "Azure Sanctum", a hall with and endless arrangement of pillars and arches adorned in the finest lazuardi tiles and gemstones, with a fountain that had been running for centuries without the help of electricity.

According to historians' records, the Azure Sanctum used to be a place where the Royals would lounge during the hot Tartosan summer, as this room is proven to be -5 to -7 degrees celcius cooler than the air outside.

Now, the Azure sanctum serves as an exhibition hall for wall decorations and the famed "Scales of righteousness", a golden scale used widely in the Tartosan Emirate's Al-Simharan justice system in the medieval era.

lap reading for infants & reading while infants nap on laps

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 02/28/25)

this mod adds two new interactions with infants:

sim reads a book to an infant sitting on their lap;

sim reads books and boosts skills while an infant naps on their lap.

requires the xml injector base game compatible

here's a look at the full animations:

male sims have the same animation, with a slight adjustment in leg position. both actions require a nearby couch, bench or living chair.  I didn't make the page-turning animation. i hope you don't mind — it would have made the process 10 times harder...

the books appear automatically. this is what a children's book looks like inside:

the adult book features cover art by illustrator daniel stolle. the children's book's exterior texture is artwork by ekatamandalIllustration. the children's book's inner texture features artwork by e. bauman and a. arinushkin.

lap reading

to start "lap reading", go to the "friendly..." -> "activities".

after the activity, both the adult and the baby gains increases in their "social" and "fun" stats, plus the following buffs:

reading while infants nap on laps

for this interaction, head over to the "baby care" menu -> "give baby a nap while reading...". you'll find several options here.

the "give a nap while reading fiction book" option only adds 'fun'. the other options add a smaller 'fun', but they help develop various skills (skills are only from the base game). the baby gains increases in "social" and "energy" stats.

after the action, both the adult and the child receive the following buffs:

note that if an infant has the 'hates being carried' trait, they will not receive the buff. similarly, an adult sim with the 'hates children' trait will not receive the buff.

i tried to make the action work for toddlers too, but i haven't figured out how yet. these interactions, like my previous mod "take a nap with infant", are based on the "give infant a nap" action. adapting them for toddlers requires deeper modding knowledge. i hope that either i or someone else in the modding community will figure out how to make it work in the future.

please let me know if you run into any issues while using the mod. i'm always happy to help, and your feedback is incredibly useful for fine-tuning it 🤍

i'm really proud of this mod! it's not perfect, but i'm happy with how it turned out, and i hope you find it both useful and fun.
