This house was requested by: Farklemeister .  One thing I forgot to mention with my last upload…my bad!  I have all EPs through Seasons.  

House Specifics:

Cost: 132,706 Simoleans
Lot Size: 5X6
Baths: 4.5
Bedrooms: 4 Suites
Two Garages
Pool
Billiard Room
Laundry/Utility Room

The house is completely unfurnished and is not landscaped.  Therefore, it is merely a shell of a house with windows.  Time to let your imagination and your custom content take over!

Required Custom Content:

The windows & door items are required as they contribute strongly to the overall look of the house.

Included Custom Content:

ModTheSims2:   Tiggy027 Metro Windows Set.  Special thanks to Tiggy for making this very versatile set for free & for allowing it to be freely distributed with lots.  Thanks!

Auronette (me):  Putty Stucco with Faux Garage Doors.  Set includes 5 custom walls.

Auronette (me):  I've included another file in this thread.  It is a Photoshop file with layers for the Faux Garage Doors that I made.  Since many of you will want to use an alternate color than the one the house is downloaded with, I've given this file so that you can change the paint color on the Garage Door surrounding walls to match the color you need.  Feel free to redistribute this file with any houses which utilize the walls.  

Custom Content NOT Included but Required:

sims2graveyard.com[/URL] FORMER PAY Items from Sims2Luxe.  This site has now closed but the items are available for download from the graveyard.  The Graveyard site was down at the time of this documentation, however keep trying as it comes and goes.  You’ll need the following items:

Sims2Luxe Arch001, Arch 001 & Door 001 and recolor for arches and doors.

The Sims Resource: PAY ITEM Cyclonesue…Alpine Loft Window Set

MTS2: Invisible driveway and extension by:  roddyaleixo
REQUIRED...Invisible Driveway & Extensions

Known Issues:

The house was play tested for about 3 sim days, and the issues listed here are ones that are common with this type of housing design.  If you should happen to find any other problems that I did not, please post here so that I can fix and update the file.  Thanks!

As with all sideways driveways and extensions, the animations for the car leaving and entering the lot will be a bit jumpy.  The garage on the right side of the lot is a faked garage.  When I tested the lot, the cars were still able to come and go from the faked garage even though the doors did not actually exist on it.  

A couple of the walls in the kitchen area are diagonal and when I tested the lot I did have some Sims yelling about the angling of the countertops.  To avoid this you may want to make sure the fridge is directly next to one of the slots that are not diagonally placed.  This should prevent their incessant wailing. =D

The method used for linking the garage to the house is one that does leave the walls warped in places.  The Stucco paint I used was easily suited for camouflaging the areas, however, if you’re thinking it’s as fugly as I find it to be, you’ll undoubtedly wish to change it.  You may wish to try paints or wallpapers that are not strongly patterned or you may get some decorative plants large enough to cover these areas.
