Maybe a restriction on not combining the two buildings into a giant misshapen blob?
Nay, that would limit the creativity severely. I don't know anything else that would fit the description.

HappyMonkey, it's still April here, so I think you're OK.
I vote for 4 Danish Drive too, but we definitely need some restrictions. Anyone know whether the lot has flat edges?

Aren't Uni houses only supposed to be used in Uni hoods?

Using a Uni house outside of Uni makes the baby Jesus cry, yes.

I have to ask, what happens if you take a Uni lot somewhere else?

BTW HappyMonkey, I do like your lot. The inside, particularly the kitchen and dining room look authentically Mediterranean and the outside areas are indeed spacious and lovely. Your rooms are nicely proportioned and it looks like a good family home.

We could rebuild the house on a non-uni neighbourhood plot using pics as a guide. Heck I've managed to replicate houses before and it's not that hard.

My rental home, 4 bedrooms, nursery, 3 & 1/2 baths posted earlier in the thread. IMPORTANT EDIT: I just realized I forgot to pull my CC downloads folder out of my game before I uploaded this and there is quite a lot of CC piggybacking on it. Either be sure to use the clean installer to remove unwanted CC content or download the uploaded "cleaned" version.

If you're going to rebuild, it would be a good idea to use the AnyGameStarter to make it base-game compatible.

I have redone 4 Danish Drive in Uni before and do agree it is a good one for our purposes here if someone can make it compatible. I am phail at that sort of thing I think.

Well, if no one is volunteering, then perhaps we need to choose a different lot for this month. How about a Downtown lot? Some of those seem to have potential.
I'm too busy right now (working on my next program) to consider remaking a lot, although I'm willing to level edges on an existing lot.
Does anyone else feel TS3 looming? I have so many things that I'd like to accomplish before TS2 becomes obsolete, although I'm hoping that much of what I've done will be portable to TS3.

I made the 4 Danish Drive on my new Vista system that only has the base game loaded (and very little cc or maty hacks). It can be downloaded 10 times for free at rapidshare, so it will need to be rehosted after that. It looks like this: I called up the lot on my old computer for comparison. My new computer just has the base game, so the kitchen table is different. http://rapidshare.com/files/227988308/4_Danish_Drive.Sims2Pack.htmlI simply put it on a very level piece of land and flattened it with the in-game tool.

There are still several Bluewater lots that look quite suitable.
7 Carriage Lane 15 Lake Meadow Circle 146 Pebble Drive 32 Eagle Lane 22 Toboggan Way 407 Edgewater Parkway 223 Idlewild Street
Why not one of these?

I have no plans to install/play TS3, tho I will aarquire it (just to show my displeasure with EAxis) and then let it sit and seed for a few weeks. As for Downtown, I rarely have sims living there, tho the two times I did, i tried out the "House of Fallen Trees" (The Ancestral home of the Tricou's, and it has those graves that'd have to be dealt with). I do remember laughing when i first moved in tho, i expected lavish furnishings, and the kitchen had a cardtable for a dining area. hur The rest of the homes don't seem to have any extra 'ground' space to do anything with. 35 King Street (and 107 Custer Boulevard - looks like the same type of home/different furnishings maybe) are kinda interesting, but i hated the floor plans. (Edit: I was ninja'd on this last paragraph.) For Bluewater Village? There's always that Purple Monstrosity on 407 Edgewater Parkway (that EAxis completely messed up by having part of one outside wall of a completely different color and a room on the 3rd floor that has no door). Big yard/pond/several decks/balconys.. 2nd Edit: We could have a 'special' rule for that Purple home. A P&L at EAxis, one outside wall MUST be of a completely different color/texture/whatever. The most mismatched, the better.

I'm thinking of that Base Game lot (sorry, not at my game compy) with the little turret: Victorian something.
You know, looks quite nice from the outside, and completely unworkable on the inside in a "put any furniture in and you end up with routefailures" sort of way. I think it had yellow siding. I always felt that it epitomized the idea of "house of fail" - so much promise, with so little actual delivery.
I rediscovered it the other day when I had to regenerate my EA Games folder.

407 Edgewater Parkway actually gets my vote, since 4 Danish Drive is probably not feasible without a rebuild for compatability.

Not to make too fine a point of it, but if you look up a few previous posts, I believe that this is exactly what has already been done by ciane.
