Check the "Related Pages" Tab for the family i created especially for this house, the upload is named "How important is family?"
DESCRIPTION:
Pictures say more than thousand words, so after you looked into the pictures you will get a good impression of what this lot offers you and how it looks like. This Residence is part of one of my sims uploads, i built it extra for these sims and it's part of the story for them. The goal for the residence was to create homely home, which offers room for a full 8 head family. The interior is held in wooden colors and i placed some cardboard boxes around the house, so it creates the impression, that people just moved in here. It has a slight asian touch, especially the roof and wooden colors achieve this. I designed the roof, so that it looks like you can climb up there and walk around on it (unfortunately you can't in the Sims), but i wanted to create this illusion.
I must say i used every part of the lot and nothing is left blank, without cluttering it too much.
Goal for the garden was, to make it as natural as possible, bushes and plants are placed in a random way to achieve this. Additionally i created some very nice extras for the garden which you can see in the pictures, it is self-explanatory.
STORY:
Edmond Cole the founder of Cole Inc., a mighty corporation, owned this house and bequeated it to his grandchild Elena Cole, who was set for a corporate marriage, but ran away and searched shelter there. This was his last effort, before his demise, to provide a safe future for Elena.
EXTRAS:
Basically in all my lots i've uploaded so far, i built in little minigames, where you can find special items like books, baseballs, etc. When you explore this lot and take a closer look at some areas you will find some gems and Elena's daybook, there are about 10 gems scattered around the lot for you to find, some are more visible and some are hidden very very good. I do this to encourage the exploring of my lots, if you don't care about this, you won't see them anyways, they are placed in a way that you only find them, if you look good enough
I also placed all the skill books around the house, so you don't have to buy them from the bookstore.

I have quit creating for Sims 3 and moved on to other games. I enjoyed creating for MTS and i am happy that so many people liked my sims. I'm still lurking, but i am not active anymore. Hope you still find my sims here and enjoy playing them.
Farewell! But i will probably be back for Sims 4, let's hope they get it right with the editor ;)
!! Must have mods !!
Alternative UI mod for Non-default Skintones by Anach (Anach_CASSkins6x4_1.17.package)
Mastercontroller mod by twallan (Install it and experiment with this baby, you will be surprised!)
Alternative sliderhacks by [B]aWT and CmarNYC (If you don't like awesomemod for some reason)
HQ Modification by aWT (used for HQ textured uploads, you'll see them more often now i guess)
__________________________________________
[B]Q/A
- I create for the BASEGAME ONLY, no Addons! For maximum compatibility.
- All my sims are tested in the basegame without CC (to test , if they crash) and with all used CC before uploading, to make sure they look like in the pictures, if you installed all the needed CC correctly. So if my sims don't work in an addon it might be, because some mods or CC doesn't work there, or a new patch screws with mods.
- If you ask why i add musiclinks to my uploads. It's my way to share my musictaste with the community and i try to make the tracks fit the character.
- ''Why do you have such nice graphics?'' I have every graphic setting ingame and in my card's driversettings absolute max (x16 Ansitropefiltering, Antialiasing max ingame) and i use the max allowed filesize for jpg(250kb) and png(150kb), so i get the best picture quality possible. For the thumbnails i use png format, to avoid pixelation and the slight blurriness the jpg format gives these small pictures.
I use XP-Paint and GIMP to edit the raw bmp-screenshots, which i take with FRAPS.
- ''Do you take requests?'' Nope, sorry. I have too
