Do your elder sims need a new home?  What about the old romance sim that's making trouble in the house they owned, because their grown up child came home to live with them, got married, and because old habits die hard, they find life unbearable in their lot.  What about the fortune sim that worked hard for the living they made and just because they made a mistake, (caught on a date with some floozy), they have been made homeless? Need that place that provide the comforts of home for that thoughtless pleasure sim or party animal popularity sim, then this is the place for them.  A beautiful, innocent look on the outside, but a place of sin on the inside.  Woohoo!

Lot: 2X2
Cost: 115,500 simoleons, (all the decorations and high maxi furnishing)
Features: Carport, Master bedroom and dressing area, 1.5 baths, basement with TV area and inground hot tub, pool, balcony, and an upstair to be furnished to your taste.

Okay, here we go with the thanks and I really mean a big thanks to all the creators above, because this lot would not look so cool without them.  Much thanks to INSIMenator for this forum and welcoming us with our creations. Happy Simming and Enjoy!!!

I use all EP's and no stuff packs.

Do you have space downtown for a small lot that needs filling?  Well check out this small space filled with a traditional home for your family sims. Oh yes, it is maxis only ( I did it!) and roomy enough for 6 to 8 sims.  If this is what you are looking for, then sit this puppy down in your downtown neighborhood and watch your sims dreams come true!  Oh okay, it's not all that hot, but it is all maxis, yeah!

Lot: 2X2
Cost: 81,600 simoleons
Features: Attached garage, eat-in kitchen, livingroom, 3 beds, 3 baths, recreation room and study in basement, landscaped and furnished in our lovely maxis decor. Master bedroom with ensuite dressing and bathroom.

All thanks will go to maxis for this wonderful game that keeps me up all night. Thanks to the sims community and INSIMenator for this forum and allowing me to be so silly at 7am.

I know it looks pretty plain, but I am sure you simmers out there have some cool stuff to dress this baby up.  Have fun and happy simming.

This lot was built with all EP's. No stuff packs included.

I decided to build a house that was all maxis, but failed because I used to custom items.  I thought it turned out cute and larger than my goal.  Just wanted a new family sims home on a small lot, because my computer's old and can't handle too large of a lot.  I hope you like it too!

Lot: 2X2
Cost: about 85,010 simoleons
Features: basement garage, 3 or 4 beds, 2.5 baths, kitchen, livingroom, diningroom, recreation room in basement, landscaping, fully furnished with Maxis items.

Thank all the creators for their imagination and talents and thank to all in the sims community for giving tutorials and help in making the possibility of this lot.  Thanks to INSIMenator for this forum, so we can share our work! Love Ya!  Hey! Tell me what you think.

This lot was built with all EP's. No stuff packs was used.

Have the winter blahs...:blah: ?  Feeling kinda blue and need a pick-me-up? Then pack up the family and take a drive to BeachHead in the beautiful St. Claire island.  The smell of the ocean salt and smog-free air will bring you smiles and seeing the kids making sandcastles will bring out the inner child in you. :occasion:  See, feeling better already? Okay enough with the silly and get down to the stats:

Features:
Built on a 2X3 lot, 3 beds, 2 baths, livingroom, eat-in kitchen, TV room that has breathtaking scenic windows, hot tub, even a little rubber boat. Parking for 1 car, and pet friendly, although you will need to place a pet bed and bowl. (I forgot to)  Cost: about 86500 simoleons.

Whew!! That is alot, but well worth it.  Big shout out to all the creators above, they are the best and I love them. Thanks
I use all EP's to create this lot and it was packaged with the Sims2Clean-Installer, so no hacks included.
Note:  I used a custom neighborhood to build this lot not Bluewater and I don't know if the water heights need to be adjusted.  Please let me know if anyone has problems with this lot.  Thanks, and enjoy. :clapp:

The reasoning for the title, you may ask?  I was inspired to build one of my Aunt's house in Atlanta, Ga. USA.  I use to love visiting this her house as a child, mainly because she had so many children, 6 cousins. Boy did we have fun!  My main thing in building this lot is making the basement garage.  As you may now know, I only like using the short extention piece, because of the delay when the cars pull out.  All the tutorials was with both driveway pieces, so I had to modify a bit.  I hope you don't mind not seeing them pull out, just transport.  Well now let's go with the specifics on this lot.

Features:  Built on a 3X2 lot, cost around 108,000 simoleons, 4 bedrooms, utility room in basement, recreation area, 3 baths (1 bath ensuite), livingroom, diningroom, kitchen and patio area in backyard. Comes fully furnished with Maxis, and landscaped.

Big thanks to all the creators mentioned above for their creativity and imagination.  I can't do it, but wish I could, so I have to use their stuff.
Thanks to EA Games for making a game that I have to peel myself away to do other things.  Thanks to this forum and the members for making me feel so welcome here.

I used all EP's in building this lot, and it was cleaned and packaged with the Sims2CleanInstaller.
Enjoy!:happy8:

I am starting a new neighborhood and I started building lots for some of my sims that needed new homes.  I think I just wanted to build again.  I am at a lost for new names for my lots, so this title is so lame.  Thought I would share it with you.   I use all EP's and even though I don't think I used Holiday Stuff pack in here, I have that too.

Features: Built on a 2X3 Lot.
Possible 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, attached garage, with parking outside the garage, (sort of blocking the garage door, well that comes with limited parking LOL), nice backyard and porch with landscaped yard, fully furnished with Maxis (yuck), cost about 115,500 simoleons. ( Hey do what I do, when I download the lot, I strip the Maxis furniture and furnish the way I want to).

Well, I hope I included everything.  I checked my upload over and over and think I finished it.  I want to thank every one of the creators above for their hard work and inspiration, without them my game would look, oh well, regular. Big ups and shout out to INSIMenator for this forum and having the best community in terms of sharing and offering encouragement. Hey, I love you all:cheer: :love1:  Also, I am female, Lewis is my last name.  Enjoy and keep simming. :blob6:

I knew I forgot something:  This lot was uploaded with Sims2CleanInstaller and no hacks are included.

....At least I think it looks a little bit southwestern.  I don't think pine trees and cactus go together, but what the hay, I think it looks good.  I got word from my doctor that I will be going back to work Monday, so I thought I would play my game a little.  While playing, I needed a new home for one of my knowledge sims family, and built this little lot for them. I have all EP's and Happy holidays stuff pack.  Oh yeah, I don't know if it's the cacti or where I placed the lot, but if you don't mind the wolves coming to your house, this is the lot for you.  I got 3 at the same time and they took turns beating my sims dog up.  Going to DJS Sims to get the wolf keep away sign.

Please give me feedback, I welcome all comments, good and bad!
Thanks to INSIMenator for giving me this forum!!! :worship: Boy, I have fun here!!

I knew it, I knew it...  I forgot to link you all to the roof recolor.  I couldn't find it in the file so here's the artist and the link... Loverat @ MTS2 http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=154585.  In the download files there is a Forest Green and Cream roof recolor that is separate from the home. For some odd reason, It was not in the sim2pack file or I could not find it.

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....

When I built this home, I thought of my grandma's house in Arkansas, USA.  I didn't build it exact to her house, I also made it to be playable in my sims game.  Her home was built on stilts because of the flood plan she lived in, so there was no basement in her home, she had the big wrap around front porch that was so inviting when you visited, so I included it, and I thought about the family that I made in my game and build it to their specs.  I also thought that you may like to play it too.  In my home I have a family sims couple that are raising 3 children sims here. They also own a dog and cat.  I hope you all like it.

I had looked at the houses that I built for my game and said to myself,  all my houses look a little girly.  Or had a woman's touch to them. So I decided to build a house just for my sim guys.  After I built it I thought  I would upload and share with the community.  I would love the feedback from you all because, I know I will hear the truth.

This is a suburban house, set on a 2X3 lot with 3 possible bedrooms,(if you eliminate the study and the tv room in the basement), 1 car garage, driveway, pool, 2 bathrooms, open plan kitchen, living and dining area.
In the basement, a t.v. room and recreation area.

Cost: 113,400 simoleons

A great big thanks to all the creators of the items I used in this upload and all the creators in all of the sim world.  My game would not be nearly as fun without this.

I have all expansion packs, but no stuff packs,  I tried to not use pets items in it, but now I know that the pets ep will affect the other items from other expansion packs, so if you don't have  all expansions it may cause problems in your game.:toothy5:

I had tried to make a photo album to show the way I decorated it, but Photobucket is giving me problems.  If anyone have suggestions I welcome a new place to put my photos.

Also, Merry Christmas and may all your dreams come true!!

I cannot get my sims to use their cell phones, for if I do, the cell phone disappears from the inventory. Also my pets cannot relax on any object, ie: the sims bed, the pet bed, the floor, no where.  I thought it was my mods so I took the download folder out and loaded the game.  I have the same problem.  I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem???:lol:

Hi everyone, I decided to upload this house in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness, for it is October,  and did this to ask the community to take the time in the busy schedules to do self-exams, mammograms, and if there is any suspect of a growth, pimple anything, please, please, please have it checked out by medical personnel.  Although breast cancer is a major killer of women, 5% of all cases involve men, so fellas take care of yourself too.
