SCREENSHOTS
I'm ecclectic in my taste for houses, but I love old houses the most. I grew up in a small town in north Texas where old victorian houses reigned on tree-lined streets. It wasn't hard to imagine ladies sitting on porches in white lawn dresses sipping southern sweet tea (if its not so sweet it hurts your teeth, it's not southern sweet tea) or playing croquet on lawns so green and thick they looked like carpet.
Of course, all of those houses were white, but as a general rule, or so the research I've done tells me, Victorian era houses were rarely white, inside or outside. There are as many color schemes as there are individiual imaginations, from the more subtle colors of nature to the bold and flashy Painted Ladies.
I stumbled on a few sites with authentic and/or historic floorplans and found this lovely little victorian that I knew I had to try to build. I hope I have done justice to it.
It is designed to re-capture the charm and ambience of turn-of-the-century houses. While it does look like an older home, the floorplan is designed to accomodate modern lifestyles.
It features a single story floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, formal dining room and a 2 car garage. It is perfect for a small family. There is plenty of room for gardening and expansion, up, down, or out.
*NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS*
Due to Sims 2 insistance that the driveway be at the front of the house, the house has a few quirks.
It must be placed on a corner lot (think backwards L) or the front of the house will not face the street.
When your sims first move in, the taxi will show up in the front yard facing the house.
The bus, carpool, service people, etc, will stop at the side of the house where the driveway is. Your sims and visitors will use the front door, though.
Included, but not shown are a few additional plants inside the house. It was a last minute decision after taking the pictures.

- 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.

My Policy
I finally have a new computer that can handle SimPE and 3d software.
I've started learning the basics of creating (floors & walls, yep... real newb here).
Once I get the hang of it and start uploading, the policy is:
Feel free to do whatever you want with my creations except:
Do not upload to pay sites
Do not upload to the Exchange
Do not claim as your own work
Please do:
Notification is appreciated, but not required if you post something of mine on another *FREE* site, this includes blogs, forums, etc and so on...
HOWEVER...
I'd like to see the credits clearly stated.
A note on the sites I get floorplans from:
Someone asked me once if it was ok to use the same sites I found my floor plans and wanted to make sure she didn't use the same ones I did.
I don't mind if people use the same floor plans. If you think to yourself 'I'd have done that differently'. Go ahead, feel free. (and give me a heads up when it's uploaded.)
I think it'd be great to see how someone else interpreted the floor plans and their spin on color schemes and landscaping. It might be the same floor plan but by the time the house is done, it's going to look very different.
