Verdemar

Fierce and untamed like its people, Verdemar is a place of bold contrasts. Rowdy pirates and educated Nobles have both called it home throughout history. What may seem like an odd clash from the outside, is in truth a peaceful marriage of cultures. Indeed it is almost impossible to find a Noble family without pirate ancestors here. To this day this is a place for the adventurous and the outcasts, where the strong and the savvy earn the most respect.

Inspired by the Portuguese coast and its autonomous regions, from the terraced cliffs of Madeira to the verdant forests of the Azores, Verdemar is the proud home of the Thebe family. The town winds upward in a series of twisting hillside paths, opening into communal squares where locals gather before drifting back toward the harbour. Down by the water, a lighthouse frames the shoreline, giving Verdemar that unmistakable seaside charm.

Points of Interest

The main points of interest can be a little tricky to find at first, what with the twisting uphill paths and dense town centre, but here are a few notable locations throughout the town.

Below the verandas surrounding Verdemar Palace sits the blacksmith and the sword-fighting contest locations. You can purchase swords at the blacksmith, train using the public dummies, and challenge other Sims to duels!

The lighthouse sits at the very end of the harbour, allowing for a stunning photo spot, or maybe even a location for a romantic proposal. The lighthouse looks out over the Emerald sea, home to a secret island where Sims may have the opportunity to find some treasure left by a local with articularly sticky fingers.

The main square next to the bar is home to Simcalibur, a mythical sword lodged in a stone! Similar to the legend of King Arthur, Sims can attempt to draw the sword from the stone, which will grant them the title of ruler!

Fishing Spots & Collectables

As with most worlds in The Sims 4, Verdemar is the perfect place to hunt frogs, fish, and harvestables. Take a look at the collection below and where to find them:

Class, opulence and elegance. In Bellacorde everything is romantic, beautiful…and crazy expensive. With a long history rooted in chivalry and court drama, there’s no better place to savor every aspect of the elite lifestyle. Just don’t get too carried away and end up doing something scandalous. Gossip is sharp and travels fast here, and in Bellacorde there’s no greater sin than a tainted image.

Bellacode sits on the northern shores of the Emerald Sea and is inspired by the French Riviera, the Principality of Monaco, and the northern and western coasts of Italy. Home to the returning Capp, Monty, and Alto families. Situated below rolling vineyards, the town is spread out along the coastline, featuring a sparkling beach perfect for some rest and relaxation.

Bellacorde Palace

The Bellacorde Palace. A monument to beauty, class, luxury, sophistication, exclusivity, poshness, tradition, elitism, abundance, grace, elegance, culture, inheritance, style, magnificence, nobility, art. But most importantly: opulence—these people own everything.

Renaissance Road

This gracious family home would be considered quite sumptuous in most other places. In Bellacorde, surrounded by opulence and ostentation at every corner, it almost looks demure.

Giardino Del – Grandioso

This verdant tract sits in close proximity to Bellacorde’s enchanting lake. A luxurious spot in a location of extraordinary prestige, ready to be purchased by someone with sufficient fine taste (and wallet size) to make something grand out of it.

With wide gardens, avenues, and piazzas, Bellacorde can be a little tricky to navigate; however, once you discover what it has to offer, you won’t be disappointed!

Being situated on the coast, Bellacorde’s beach is the perfect place to catch a tan on one of it’s parasole adorned sun loungers. You can also find some of the new royal canoes, fully available for public use.

If you head inland, you will find The Enchanted Mirror, which allows your Sims to gaze into the future and decide their luck, or snoop for secrets about other Sims. Be careful, though, as this can backfire badly and leave your Sims in a bad spot!

As with the other two neighbourhoods, Bellacorde is home to its own sword-fighting tournament area, allowing your Sims to challenge others to duels in full view of the grand ballroom. If your Sim fancies a snack after the duel, head on down to the food stall to pick up a slice of pizza, a bowl of pasta, or even a taste of the new Panna Cotta dish.

Not only can your Sims purchase new food in Bellacorde, but they can also buy Local Wares in the centre of town. At this stall, you can find rare items such as unique swords, boats, local harvestables, and even the unpublished Writings of Cordelia Thebe.

Points of Interest

Dambele is chock full of locations of importance that offer a wealth of gameplay opportunities. Let’s take a look at a handful that you need to visit!

Anansi’s Well is Dambele’s very own spot, granting mythical fortune. Here, Sims can toss in §1 and ask for Anansi’s advice, which will grant you some wisdom. They can also undertake any of the four Trials available, acting as mini quests.

Down by the beach, there is a podium perfect for Nobles to hold press conferences and make new announcements for their Kingdom.

Near the town centre, you can find yet another sword-fighting spot, as well as training dummies to practice your sword swinging.

In the very centre of town, you can find the Zanbira Tree. This tree allows your Sim to ask the ancestors for a blessing (as long as they’re in a good mood). They can also recite works, either their own or others, for a boost in confidence. Reciting works is also a great way to boost the Charisma skill.
