Hi everyone!  I thought I would share my first attempt at building a beach house to be placed in the Bluewater neighborhood on the coast line.  I needed another home that was different from what I had, and was tired of waiting for someone to build one, so I attempted it.  I think the project came out well and decided to share with you all for feedback.  This one of the hardest part of the game for me, because I want my houses to look a certain way and I love the way the Sims 2 community build from their imagination.

  I just wish I could be more imaginative.:smt120   Well here it goes....

Coastal craftsman style home
2X3 lot, 3 levels
cost about 116,500 simoleons
3 bds, 2.5 baths, driveway
livingroom, eat-in kitchen, recreation area in the daylight basement.

I have all EP's and happy holidays stuff pack
Fully-furnished with Maxis, outside is landscaped :-P

Custom content on the outside

Thank you to all the talented creators above for making my game fun and my houses more realistic.:worship:
The file was cleaned with The Sims 2 Clean-Installer, there are no hacks.

I tried my best and hope you all like it. :happy8: :D

Why had nobody commented on this house yet? lazy people :P

It`s charming, I love it, it just screams vacation to me. I`d get it if I had all the required EPs.

Thanks Dinki, I was beginning to think it was awful.  LOL, I liked that I was able to accomplish this without tutorials.  I am honored by your comment.

Ooh, this is beautiful!  Nice job!  I can't wait to play it!  :)

Gorgeous design!

Another must have home, thanks.

this is beautiful thanks for sharing it !

Outstanding!!! It makes me wanna go to the beach, WAAHH!!!! :bawl:

Good work should be appreciated :)

How long did it take to make it?

Thanks a lot!!!! :)

Well Done!!! Thankyou

What a fabulous design! Great job! :)

The only custom content that needs downloading is the modular stairs, because they need to be installed by text and the links to the site are in the post.  Everything is included already. Thanks for the encouragement, and have a nice day.

Thanks Dinki, I for one do appreciate your work also ;).  I decided to do this Saturday morning, and tried to find out how to do the dip on the back of the lot for most of the day.  When that was in vain (no tutorials), I decided to do another lot and placed it high on the mountainside of Bluewater District.  Lo and behold, the lot I placed had a slope in the back of it, and I placed a foundation there, move the lot to the coastline, built the house in like, 2 hours.  LOL, there went my Saturday.

This house is AMAZING! Great job, I love it :D

when can I move in? it is a lovely house,

This is remarkable looking home` Applause.

Very beautiful!
A enjoyable house!
Thank you.

I wasn't able to extract this, 7zip says it's not a supported archive... I've tried downloading  the file like 4 times and still the same thing... I really want this house!

great job on the house. When i saw it featured I knew i had to see more. really beautiful work, and no tutorials? whew! keep it up!

awesome!!!!

This house is awesome. I like playing it very much. Thanks

The file is WinRAR. Do you have this zip opener? If not then you can get it here: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html , hit the download button. It is free and I use this more often.  If you still have problems, and I will send a zip file up next.

You are very welcome cookiejar.  I loved building it. Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments.  I am soooo honored.:worship:

I must say i like this house...i have a thing for beach houses...when my computer is fixed i think i will get this one.....Thanks nice job...if u make somemore beach ones i will be keeping an eye out for them...

7zip should have extracted it no problem as it works on both .zip and .rar.. I'm guessing there was just a problem with the download for some reason. Anyway I got the house off TSR today and it extracted no problem. Can't wait to play it!

Nice job! Thanks!

you are not helping my housing addiction......but then again maybe you are!!!!  :o)

Beautiful..great charming house. Thankx

Thank you for building this home. :worship: You have put a lot of thought into the planning and styling of it. It has a really nice feel to it. Greatly appreciated. 10/10!

I love this lot but unfortunatley I can't get the Antique Lace Top as the site is gone. I'm not going to turn this into a WCIF, but ya know....;)

The antique lace top is included in the package. Thanks for the comment. :D
