The Elvenwood: Valencia's Workshop

Anchesenamon Sims makes a return to the fantasy save file with this build commissioned for Brayan Valencia - our inventioneer elf. If you are already playing the Elvenwood update to the save file, you don't have to do anything. This is for more information, inspiration or if you're an old player of the save and you want to manually update yourself because you don't want to lose progress.

Brayan lives by the water on the lot where "Teardrop Cottage" used to stand. The lot blends really well with the surrounding water because of a water mill and stream feature attached to this build.

With most of my characters and storylines for a fantasy save update, I try to include the new gameplay for you to play through your new expansion pack. This character doesn't hold any special significance for the Life and Death expansion, however. He was just a cool elven character to add to the world for you to meet or play.

Gameplay ideas:

Brayan is titled "Inventioneer Elf" in his download. He brings the old and the new together in the Elvenwood as he invents and uses all sorts of equipment and activity tables. He has the computer for "Research and Debate" in his home for example, as well as a TV. Sometimes, these modern implements irritate me in the save file, but with Brayan it "makes sense". He is not scared of new technologies - he's a tinkerer, engineer and inventor way ahead of his time! I was using him to play through the science career as a "junior tinkerer", but you can choose any career for him.
He was originally imagined as a Blacksmith and the Blacksmith mod by Jane Simsten if suggested if you'd like to play him this way instead.
Eight of Pentacles storyline: Brayan Valnecia is a quiet and focused blacksmith who has made a home for himself in the heart of Elvenwood. Known for his steady hands and sharp eye, he spends his days forging swords and tools with care and dedication. More than a tradesman, Brayan is an inventioneer—always refining, improving, and creating. He believes that true mastery lies in the details, and each piece of work brings him closer to his craft. Those who visit his forge say his work speaks louder than he ever needs to.

Anchesenamon Sims has done an amazing job to imagine all the no custom content things you can do and play with this character while still maintaining this old world feel to the build. I just love this build. Feel free to remove modern objects if you want to go more medieval blacksmith style, of course!

Patrons and members who have been playing their saves for many years and want to manually update using the Elvenburg collection, if you're unsure how to use trayfiles or how to approach this, feel free to reach out. I'm available!
