I have made links to some sites that promote Oslo with pictures, more or less "live". Since I live a 10 min. drive from the center of the city, you will not find pictures of my house. Just click the bottle to go further.
I'm born in the capitol of Norway, but I spent the whole summer in the contryside during my childhood. I learned a lot about farming and old customs in my contry.
I've tried to recreate and old farmhouse in the Sims community.
I really missed som plain benches for this corner (and why don't the sim-people sit on the sofa to eat?)
If you look up in the right corner, you will see the bed placed in the corner of the house. In old days, people had only one "living room". They eat in one corner of the room, and slept in another. They had a small room for suplies and one for kids.
If you want to see more of my childhoods contryside - just click on the picture from the mountain. The view you can see here is the same I had as a child.
