I would like a Hindu temple for my cities. There are so many beautiful cathedrals, churches, mosques, and synagogues (actually I have only seen one of these) and of course Buddhist temples. Hindu templs come in many styles. In Oklahoma, where I am from, the main temples in our major cities (Tulsa and Oklahoma City), they are fairly small and have only a small amount of decoration on the outside. I have seen pictures of other temples that are really elaborate. I saw a picture of a former church building in the UK that is now a Hindu temple (the architecture was the same, just that they now had an Aum on the outside and a saffron flag flying on the roof (saw the pic in Hinduism Today).
Other than that, not complaints and I am not complaining that there is no Hindu temple. I'd just like to have one since I am a practicing Hindu (western convert i.e. not from India). Of course there are no Jain temples or Sikh gurdwaras either. Like I said, not complaining, just asking for one if possible. I'd love to have a temple for my sims to go to in my cities...be it a big temple or a small temple. At this point, I'd even be happy with a roadside temple (like I've heard they have in India). If it is just a park effect, landmark effect, or the same as the house of worship is fine. I like the fact that some of the beautiful religious buildings are museums, schools, libraries, and medical clinics. I think this brings for functionality to them since so many temples, churches, syngogues, mosques, and other places of worship often do help the community. Neat idea so I do want to say kudos to those who've done that. Also want to say kudos to everyone whose made the other various houses of worship. They look great!
Peace,
