Basilica Aemilia, Version I
I’ve decided to put the Basilica Aemilia on a different, slightly smaller lot along with some shops, after getting a look at a map of the Forum and seeing the massively different footprints between the Basilica Julia and the Aemilia.
Just like the real Basilica Aemilia in ancient Rome, this is a great place for bargain hunters. It has a thrift store register and a food register on the second level. Sims can dine at the tables and chairs inside among the columns (so many columns!) or outside on stone benches on the back side of the building.
Also included is the small shrine for the Venus Cloacina, which was preserved when the Basilica was enlarged and the ‘new shops’ were torn down.
This lot would go great in a Roman, Italian or fantasy world.
Lot Size: 32 x 32
Lot Type: Thrift Store
Service Sims Required: 2
File Size: 5 MBCustom Content Shopping List
- EA Store: Lucia’s Arch is included in the Monte Vista world bundle.
- MTS: Daniel the Lionhearted Arch from the Medieval Build Set from TS2 by TheJim07.
- TSR: CycloneSue Colonial Viaduct Arch, 3 tiles. If you’re not particular you can replace this with three 1 tile windows you like. This window looks the most like the window on the computer recreation of the basilica on Wikipedia.
- ATS3: 2014 Advent Perfume Burner & Candle. Middle of the bottom row. Only the candle is used on this lot.
- ATS3: Wedding Bouquet Attention Catcher. Middle of the bottom row. This is a television clone made to blend in when TVs won’t. The bouquet is used in the Cloacina shrine so that sims will come and interact with the shrine.
- MTS: One More Slot Please (OMSP) by Granthes is used in the shrine to arrange flowers and candles around the statues.
- MTS: Medieval Food Register by The Merrye Makers, which can easily be replaced with the regular register if you’d rather not download it.

Put the Sims3Pack in your The Sims 3/Downloads folder and install it with the launcher. If you have issues, send me an ask. No guarantees, but maybe I can help. I’d love to see pics of how you use the lot!

The Temple of Hermes after the sun set, and two smaller temples from EA. The 3 tiny guys in the pic give proper dimension to the buildings 🙂

working on the way uphill to the Temple of Hermes,
for the first episode from Oneiroi that I shall write someday
when I finish building at least the main settings of the story.
Dear friends, here I come with more CC of mine that nobody wants – but that I need to create a Greco-Roman world, and might as well share with you 🙂
These 5 frescoes depict episodes of the life of Apollo, as related in Ovid’s Metamorphosis. They are neither Roman nor Greek but Italian of origin – studies attributed to Jacopo Guarana, an assistant and associate to Tiepolo.
They can be downloaded HERE
