"Oh, the sun shines bright on my Old Kentucky Home,
And the young folks roll on the floor,
Oh, the sun shines bright on my Old Kentucky Home,
Keep them hard times away from my door."
-Randy Newman, My Old Kentucky Home
When I set out to make this house I didn't really know anything about the original song or its history- surprise! Stephen Foster's ballad My Old Kentucky Home was written about the Federal Hill home of Judge John Rowan. Like Randy Newman's song my Old Kentucky Home is an homage to the original.
I tried to include as many elements of the original building as I could; the exterior star motif, two fireplaces, central hall with stairs at the end, the old grandfather clock in the hall and was even able to include the bushes in the front of the building thanks to HystericalParoxysm's cool Shrubby Shrubs.
Three bedroom Federal-style home with all the fixings. Requires Nightlife EP and is best installed with Clean Installer . The Kentucky Star Brickwork pack, needed if you want the authentic star motif, may be replaced with the Old London Brick w/ banding. I recommend the Shrubby Shrubs as they are very useful for other things.
Enjoy! -Clem

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. 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.

I have always loved making things, and since getting this game I've been on creation over-drive. How very fine it is to access a world free of most ordinary limitations (especially real money) and be able to make almost anything you can imagine.
