Holy cow, that is one BIG house. I don't know where to start, my sim is so confused. Everywhere I look there is a new thing to see. Well done.

You know how much I love this house. I know how hard it was for you to get done with all the computer problems you have had.
You DID IT and we are so lucky that you did. This house is amazing, just like you.
I put this lot in my game and a family moved into it right away. :D

For those who keep noting it's a big house, you should see the real thing.

As for the #13, the only thing I was able to put in was the 13 palmtrees that line the driveway. My game only runs for maybe an hour at a time, so some things I didn't get to because I was so frustrated. I got the door and stairs to nowhere and the room full of leftover building supplies, oh and the seance room.


The house is really cool I've seen specials about it on tv. Also with your game you might only need to update your video card because I was having the same problems until I downloaded the newer one.

I really am so happy that everyone likes it this much!! All of you have just made my day!!!!

I can't say I would be willing to take this on again until I get my game/computer fixed cause it was such a pain in the butt, but it was fun. It's one of those houses I have to do in a new game. (I did the updates, no help. Hubby says I might be overheating. Not sure if he means me or the computer! lol)

I am glad to hear from those who have been there that I at least got it sorta close. Always been a dream to go there myself. Maybe someday.

Thanks again y'all. HUGS

Holy crap! I've been fascinated by the Winchester House for years. Can't wait to load it into my game. I think I know where Mr. Reaper will be living, now...

An incredible creation, both in R/L and now in TS3. Amazing work! Wee question: Is this monster playable?

chaisipper, I have been playing it in my game. So far it works. Just hard to figure out sometimes where everyone is located. But that is the fun and mystery of this lot.

Glad everyone likes it!!

My game moved in a family of 5. They seem to be enjoying it.

Just in case no one noticed I wanted to let everyone know that the house is haunted by the Goth's. Or it should be anyway. Not sure what happens to the ghosts when you package in TS3.

I saw the urns when I was first looking around and thought it was a nice touch. I haven't seen the ghosts but I did hear the ghost music at one point. However I couldn't actually find the ghost in the house LOL.

Notjustnebodee- That's exactly how I feel, if I can't go at least my sims can. It was my pleasure, most of the time.

TigerM- Gotta have ghosts at the Winchester dontcha know. lol They must be floating around in there somewhere. I hope you spot one soon!!

kristina0622-They sure do have tours! http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/

Great interpretation of an incredible building. I actually work right down the street near the dealerships along Stevens Creek and Winchester Ave. and pass it a lot. A few of my older customers actually work the grounds, and while they say there aren't too many ghostly mysterious encounters... a few of them have had the chills and 'corner of the eye' sightings while inside the house or on the grounds.

This house would probably kill my game but looks awesome.

Creepy back story too on the real place

LOL! Thanks for the response! Yes, I guess the next hurdle would be finding everyone.

I was just wondering what it would be like to build that house in the Sims 3 the other day! Awesome! I hope I get to see the real thing someday but for now this will do! Thanks!

I am sorry I'm late =(. You are one crazy woman, woman! This is amazing. I don't even want to think about what frustrations (if any) you had creating this. But, this is right up your alley. Brilliant! Hugs!
