Rua do Castelo ("Castle Street") is a street in Braga. Its main building, the former building of the Trade School of Braga, was inaugurated in 1937, but is now pratically abandoned, serving as an archive to Minho University. |
Rua do Castelo is a lot featuring various activities for your Sims! From spending the afternoon at our bars to doing some research at our library, Rua do Castelo is sure to bring some life to the historic centre of any city.
The lot can be divided into three main areas: the main building, the white building and the keep.
Let's start with the main building. On the first floor, there's a temporary art exhibit, paintings on the right side and sculptures on the left side, with two restrooms behind the stairs. On the second floor, there is a concert hall to the right and a library to the left. Both of them have a second floor - the entrance to the balcony of the concert hall is on third floor and the library has stairs to the upper floor. The third floor has some sofas and a small exhibit on antique sewing machines.
The white building has a small bookshop, a café with live cooking and a bar on the first floor and a fancy restaurant on the second floor.
The keep is now a art gallery.
This lot is based on the "Rua do Castelo Building" in Braga and its surroundings. It is located in the historic centre of Braga, but unfortunately, it is nearly abandoned. I have been fascinated with this building for a long time, and a few months ago, I tried to build it in The Sims. I built the shell and then stopped. Then, two days ago, I was hit with a ray of inspiration and decided to finish the building. The original plan was just the building, but I went a step further and built its surroundings as well.
While the shell of the main building and the keep are an almost exact replica of the original, note that the white building is just a mix of several different things I like in the historic centre. While there is actually a building with restaurants and such next to the keep, it doesn't look like this. As for the keep, I have only been inside it once, when an art exhibition was being held there (hence turning it into an art gallery), and I'm not even sure if it is open to the public.
I have added a picture of the real building for comparison.
NOTE: Since this is a wide lot (6x3), I have added lef and right floor plans of each floor, as well as a complete floor plan.
I'm an idiot . I made a mistake while counting tiles, so when I was shrinking the lot, it was one tile further than it should be. I had to bring the back building and the keep one tile to the front (as well as most outside decorations).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
