Sunken living room (check), loft with lounge (check), atrium with skylight (check), chrome kitchen (check), purple 2-headed hippo (uhhh...)
Here is a Ranch Style Home reminiscent of the 80's. No, the purple 2-headed hippo was not available - sorry.

Updated Sept 28, 2020 - I have updated this property for the UC (The original BG-only lot is still available, but not recommended!)
The original lot was a test of building skill back in the basegame only days... before such things as the stage tool for split-stair landings and adjustable roof slope-angles became available. I have also fixed a few inconveniences - there are no more 'stompie' traps; and the lot has a pet-washable bathtub in the sunken Master Bathroom. While I was at it, I added a second Master Suite and a gameroom with bar - both upstairs.
The only 2 pieces of CC included in the 2020 Remade version are:
- Transparent Floor Tile/Now You See Me by Frillen @ MTS2
- Invisible Ceiling Lamp by NixNivis @ NixedSims
Both are needed for the "Skylite" to look like an actual skylight.
The first 7 pictures above are of the new version:

I wanted to try a few things in basegame build mode, and with a bit of futzing I managed to get everything to do what I wanted it to do. I think I'm done with BG building challenges for a while. This is technically a single-story house with an upstairs loft in the center of it all. The L-shaped staircase is cornered by two walls. The atrium has a skylight with a roof that will hold off the snow for us Seasons players. The sunken living room has lights hidden under the stairs to try and alleviate the 'below-the-foundation' lack of sunlight.
MAIN FEATURES:
- Lot size: 30X20 (3X2)
- Around 3,000 sq ft covered living space - 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, kitchen, sunken living room, separate dining room, front and back porches
- Price = $32,681(furnished) - $31,681 (UNFurnished)
- The Master Suite features a unique bathroom floor plan that ensures privacy even when used by two
- Skylit Atrium between the kitchen and dining rooms - have fresh herbs any time of the year
- Sunken Living Room with a fireplace for added intimacy to small gatherings
- Lounge Loft with a flat panel wall TV - enjoy your "game" to the max
- Relax with a tall one on the front porch or grill up some grub to share on the back porch
- UNFurnished - Kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, lighting, carpet, tile, wallpaper are included
- Furnished - add to the above: Maxis Made (BG) basic furnishings (chairs, tables, beds) plus most of the "skill-learning" objects and a few decos.
- Wired for cable/TV
- Telephone with included service is installed
- Alarm systems included (for both fire and burglar)
- Energy efficient natural gas stove and water heater
- A neutral color scheme with boy and girl themed kids bedrooms
- Durable quality Maxis doors and windows

There are both furnished and UNFurnished versions to choose from. Both include:
CTNutmegger's MyChicCounter-UpperCabinet

This house has been play-tested and is made "basegame only" with the help of Numenor's Any Game Starter (Thank you , Numenor!) The Sims2Pack download files have been thoroughly cleaned with the Clean Installer. A note about the Master Suite's wardrobe... it is currently unuseable - BUT, if you replace it with a 1-tile wardrobe (there are several here on MTS2 - try some by Ailias) there is plenty of 'dressing' room for your sims.
Lot Size: 3x2
Lot Price: $31,681 - $32,681

- 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.

About Me
I mostly "build" - houses, apartments, recreational, and community lots - but, I also create walls (and murals), floors, terrain paint, and various other recolors. And I've written a few tutorials too. :luff:
