Do your Renaissance Sims need to 'fit in' with the modern world? Is a castle a bit much for your budget? Try this charming Tudor-esque suburban home. The garage is subtly located underground, the exterior design is reminiscent of a simpler time, but the home's layout it definitely set for modern convenience. The basement-garage offers a terrific solution for merging the old world and the new. For your own visual aesthetics, you can store your modern car underground and out of sight. Or, you can protect the neighbor's sanity by hiding your cart wagon away from thier prying eyes.
The above picture is technically the side view; the actual front of the house faces diagonally to the street corner. This house must be placed on a corner lot, with the driveway on one side street, and the mailbox on the perpendicular side street. Also, it is not a "perfectly flat" lot - please see the last picture (map) for the original construction site and read more about uneven lots further below...
MAIN FEATURES:
- Lot size: 20X50 (2X4)Unlevel lot!
- About 2,000 sq ft covered living space - 3 bedroom, 2 bath, basement garage, formal dining room, living room, kitchen, breakfast room, full basement, large patio
- Around $63,147 simoleons - I say "around" because I have extensively re-organized my build/buy catalogues and, in doing so, re-priced most everything. I don't know if this will effect the cost in your game or not. If it does, maybe your Sims qualify for a huge tax break? Inheritance? Or, it's their turn to win the lottery?
- Unfurnished - appliances and fixtures included
- The interior design is somewhat dark, yet very cozy - with a comfortable old-world feel
- Attractive stylized exterior features dark wood cross-braces and three bay windows
- The garage is in the basement with a connecting door to a full finished basement - which will make a terrific game or hobby room
- Wired for cable/TV, and phone
- Invisible/stealth Alarm systems included (for both fire and burglar)
- Contemporary style fireplace in the living room; outdoor chimenea on the back porch
- Textured ceilings throughout
- Ceiling fans in each bedroom
- Quality high-end Maxis construction
- Fine quality, energy efficient Maxis Brand Products used wherever feasible
- The simple landscaping is well established and easy to maintain
I built this house with the aide of Numenor's AGS (what a wonderful tool!) It needs NL, OFB, and M&G installed in order to work properly. I also used Hexameter's basement garage template - which sure made the garage easy to build! Thanks! The files have been thoroughly cleaned with the Clean Installer. There are two files to download - yes, you need both of them. One file is just the lot; the other is all the CC.
*** This is an UNEVEN LOT! ***
This house is NOT built on a level lot - it has a "dip" along the front sidewalk. Please refer to the picture below to see what I mean. Sometimes uneven lots can mess up your neighborhood. So, please back up your neighborhood before installing anything. I did many tests on this property because the dip puzzeled me. In my game, there is always a dip on one axis of that intersection. If I remove my Tudor-esque house and replace it with an empty lot - I get the dip on the perpendicular road. If I place a flat lot on the perpendicular road, I get the dip back here again. There doesn't seem to be any lasting effects - if I delete the house, I can build another lot/house without any cracks to the nether-world appearing. I have since moved this lot closer to the 'ocean' in my game, and have had no troubles at all.REQUIRED but not included be sure to get these before installing this house (or things will not look right!)

- 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:
