Slavic Balvans (Simblreen 2020 treat #1)
Added 2020-11-02 16:57:58 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It's finally the time to share publicly the first of my Simblreen treats.
It’s a small collection of statues of different Slavic (= pagan) deities. All of the meshes come from Sketchfab: 4 were made by a user named Iliadus and one (Veles) by 3dhdscan. I lowered the polycount to make them all TS4-friendly, to ca. 10K. It’s still not little, but the best I could do without bigger loss of quality - and as usually you would probably put just one such statue per lot, in a temple or sth, it shouldn’t slow your game down too badly.
All the statues can be found under Sculptures (duh) or simply by typing ‘VS’ in the search bar. They all come with the name of the given deity and a short description of what they were allegedly responsible for.
Please keep in mind that Slavic beliefs, in contrary to eg. Greek or Scandinavian mythology, aren’t well documented and it’s all a bit of a guessing game. Take the first statue from the left, Lada: some claim she was an important goddess of beauty, while others doubt if she ever even existed and wasn’t just made up later, as a Slavic counterpart of Aphrodite. Reconstructing stuff which was deliberately erased from people’s memory isn’t an easy task, so it’s good to take it all with a grain of salt. By no means, please don’t treat those short descriptions as a carved-in-stone truth!
You can download them all together, as a merged file, or separately. Here are their names, from the left: Lada, Triglav, Veles, Rod and Perun.
Hope you'll like it, enjoy!
PS. As those are statues of gods, they possess some special powers too. If your sims stand too close to them, they can suddenly feel overwhelmed by certain emotions...
