THE STEPFORD PROJECT: PART 1
November 2010 UPDATE
I've added an alternative version of the EBERHART MANSION below. Take a look inside here:
It's important to note that the Additional Version requires ALL EP's (EXCEPT PETS) and Mansion & Gardens. It has the same floor plan, lot size and layout as the original version (see below). The lot cost is 567,029 Simoleons. The differences in the 2 versions are as follows:
* moved the jacuzzi 1 tile from pool so Sims won't get stuck when getting out
* remodeled one bedroom/bath as a kid's bedroom/bath
* turned the kitchen barstools facing the counter so they slide in properly
* added a few kid friendly items throughout the house (game console, toys, lemonade stand, etc.)
* added antique telephones to the house
* added the NPC Dishwasher
* added ceiling tiles to every room that add a bit of wealth to the house
Be sure to download both "NEW" files from the Downloads area for your house to show properly. Also keep in mind that this lot is a Corner Lot and must be placed on a corner to work properly. See details below. Don't worry, it's easy to do.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION
The Stepford Project is a small collaborative project by Deluxe Designers Inc. (StephSim and Deluxe Designs). We wanted to bring your wealthy Sims a truly "exclusive" neighborhood to play in. What better place than Stepford, Connecticut. This project is based on the 2004 version of the American movie "The Stepford Wives". The movie basically tells a tale of how men bring their significant others to the seemingly "perfect" Stepford community to help them improve who they are. The cast includes Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Bette Midler, John Lovitz, Faith Hill and many others. The Stepford Project revolves around this fictitious neighborhood and all of it's splendor. We will present the lots in parts.
Note:
This is Part 1 and includes 2 Stepford Mansions: The Eberhart Kresby Mansion and the Wellington Mansion. Over time we may add more lots to the Stepford community. Enjoy the downloads!
--------------------------------------------------
LOT INFORMATION
There are 2 mansions in this download. Both mansions have 3 Versions:
-a FURNISHED version with Custom Content

-The Eberhart Mansion is a corner lot. Place the lots with the driveway to the side and the mailbox facing you. You need a lot that has a sidewalk to the front and the right side (a backwards "L" for those of you who are very visual) to place this lot properly.

EXTRAS IN ZIPS
There are certain recolors or bedding that do not automatically zip in Sims2Packs. As a result, the bedding for both mansions has been included in the zip with the houses. Be sure to add these items to your downloads folder BEFORE entering the lots.
CUSTOM CONTENT:
Most of the Custom Content in these downloads is divided between the 2 lots and includes build mode objects like walls, floors, windows, doors and a few flowers. The Eberhart house includes 1 Living Room set by Macarossi. Keep this in mind if you remove the Custom Content. Your lots may not "look" as they do in the picture.

It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

UPDATED: January 2015
This profile page was initially set up for the collaborative efforts of Deluxe Designs, Lauralaima and StephSim.
However, with the emergence of The Sims 3 and real life demands, we decided to amicably part ways.
The final collaborative lots will be shared once they are edited for EP-related changes and prepped for uploading. However, this will take a bit of time due to other Sim commitments. There will be a few more posts, to include collaborative Gwrych lots and a few more Stepford lots.
While the Stepford Project will remain available for download, the full Gwrych Project has changed. There will be 2 Gwrych lots posted here on this account to share and honour Lauralaima's contributions to the original concept.
Initially, Gwrych was also meant to be a few collaborative lots. However, it turned into a bit of obsessive medieval madness on StephSim's part. To see what each creator has been up to, be sure to click on their respective links below!
While DDI projects will be no more, the friendships forged will always be a part of who we are!
Thank You for your patience and understanding!
