Setup Complete

I've finished setting up the neighborhood.  I built a castle that will work for both Stage 3 and Stage 6, Servant and Knighthood respectively.  The main house part of the castle has 7 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms, plus a nursery, spa room, formal dining room, dance room, throne room, and library.  In the 4 corner towers, I put mostly skill building Items, except for 2, one of which is a laundry room, the other is a part of the stables.  I tried to put at least one of each skill building item, including the Martial Arts equipment from the buy-debug catalog .  In the servant's cottage I have 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, the castle kitchen, and a study.  For step 3 I will have to specify which areas are zoned for the servant's, and which aren't.  I will make the whole servant's cottage including the kitchen,  the adjoining garden area, the tower with the laundry facility which has a wine press on the second floor, the small foyer inside the back servant's entrance to the main building, the stable, and the second floor to the stable's tower, which has a pottery wheel and invention machine.  All other areas are considered off limits to the servants, unless they are cleaning or working.

I also modified the two lots built as sort of bars.  First, in Dragon Tavern, I replaced the bars with professional bars, that came with the Late Night Expansion Pack, and I re-zoned the lot to a bar. For McCafferty's Pub, I again replaced the simple bars with a professional bar, and then I added to the 2nd floor, 2 bedrooms, with adjoining bathrooms.  One of these includes a crib.  I kept the zoning of this lot to Visitor's Allowed.  

The next thing I need to do is to make Sims.  I will be creating 4 sims, 2 will be my starting pair, and 2 will be the King and Queen of the land.  I will be making the traits of the King random.  I'll probably place the king, using the cheat code "freerealestate" because it is very expensive.  I believe the Testing cheats enabled cheat must be on for that cheat code to work.  After this, I will be ready to start my challenge.
