Before Queen Elizabeth II(the immortal royal) was proclaimed UK’s longest-reigning monarch, there was Queen Victoria.
The Victorian Era marked Queen Victoria’s 63-year reign from 1837 to 1901, a period where WiFi was non-existent, Charles Darwin’s natural selection theory was a hot topic, and Jack the Ripper was on the loose.
During this time, even with all the wars and famine, Britain had pretty much become a superpower thanks to its innovations and achievements in everything that mattered.
However when it comes to societal trends, the Victorian Era still held on to Bridgerton-like traditions that would anger feminists today.
Still, apart from the deadly corsets and arsenic-laced dresses, this era continues to fascinate with its obscene grandeur in architecture, fashion, and the arts.
Go back in time and have your Sims live their lives as a Victorian with this classically historic CC list.
