It looks so good! Lots of nice details and what not. I didn't even come here looking for a house but this is going into my game!

I have noticed an oddity. My sims would go to the city hall and they would wear their fancy clothes.

Since this world looks exactly like something I have been wanted, I thought I would try it out.  The only oddity I have noticed in a few hours play is my female sim would wear her fancy clothes when she would go to a bar- lounge, dance club or grungy dive bar. I will see if the bars are listed correctly - a dive bar is a dive bar when I try my hand at decorating it.

One thing I like about this world that Im sure will change is the ability to make it your own.  My sims are going about their business and I think about adding this or that to an area.

In all a great world so far, if I find out anything else, Ill report it.

Jorganza , I hope you get inspired to finished that house. It is beautiful. I would add it to my game.
bestofsmall , I  like your farm house! It is so very cozy and charming. You did a kick ass job on the barn.
Sipu_von_Sapu  A cabin is something I would never have came up with. It looks neat.
ajcrawly - I like your house especially. Very neat looking.
BlueSooButton  There is only one tiny thing I don't like about your house. When you are looking at the front door pic, It seems very empty on the second floor. I would suggest a window or two. Also this makes me a huge hypocritc seeing as my house has no windows at all on three sides. I can live with that thou.
Prosthetics  Love your house. It is very cozy and inviting.


This is one of my favorite houses to screw play around with at times. Here is what I came up with this time.
BLAH MANOR
A vampire hideaway

The hill has only been slightly change to allow for a bench and fountain. A sim can walk up to that spot. The Christmas lights look cool from this angle but if you look at them directly from the side... the sense of wonder will be deader than a blind puppy on a freeway.


The front door was moved to the front. I like the flower garden above.

This vampire house has three floors but I am only showing two. I didn't bother with the very top floor. Either you will be woot, a vampire house to fill with all my goth torture mods (( or your sparkly vampire mods. I am not judging you. )) or you think vampires are stupid and wonder why bigfoot doesn't get more love.

This is the second floor. It was the kitchen.,dining room, and a full bath. Everything was tested and seems to be working well.

h




The ground floor. The vampire's true hidehole is bebehind the mysterious bookcase. If you are so sort of hard core vampire player and don't use the mod that allows them to survive th sunlight in doors, I would recommend the mod hack here that treats the bookcase as a regular door. You don't want your prescious Dracula, Spike or Edward to become a pile of dust do we.
Note there is a graveyard behind the house for all of your do it yourself sort of vampires that want a nice place to hide the bodies.
I have everything. All the expansions and all of the stuff packs. I know that I used the teen scene one and the bath and kitchen one heavily so use at your own risk.

Does the No Cd crack traditional load up slower?

Thank you for all the good information in this thread. SecuRom fucking thrashed my game- destorying a neighborhood I spent 3 months on. Please insert the original disc instead of a backup.... I would never consider going with a no cd crack until I saw the SIMS 2 method of fixing this problem. Getting more crap from SecuRom!


SecuRom turning honest gamers into pirates.

pentabet - I like several things you did with your house. I think I shall steal some of your ideas. Two thumbs up for using that oddball wall paper in a creative way. I think I may have to build a pink theme diner based on your dining room.
thegrimtuesday - Your house is so charming!
Faizah -I like your commerical lot. Your grounds are especially nice.

Now I shall present the House of Reasonable Priced Love:



-Lots of fun things for your bunnies to do. On the other side of the house is a bbq and a swimming pool.

-the door to the harem is DISGUISED as a book case.
- The bedroom is slightly different as I added tiny fencing around the bed. I think that it could mean more that one lady can entertain. The floor has been change to tiger yellow and tiger fur to help match the fencing.

This has not been tested. It may suck. But if you download House of Reasonable Love you are probably into sucking, you sick puppy.
I have all EPs and Sps.

Since I fail repeatly at editing my previous posts, I shall post the link to Crazy Old Swamp Hermit's House here >>> http://www.box.net/shared/vzzak1m6n2

I have all the expansions and I am not afraid to use them. Be sure to use Clean Install.

Inspired by the words of Mootida and Jesslla, I may some very important changes to Crazy Swamp Hermit house.
Note the fab new outhouse downwind of the hammock.  There is no shower. There is no bath. Crazy Swamp Hermit knows that those things destroy dirt and dirt keeps out the germs. True That.

And to who scoff at solar power, it is to keep off the grid. You can't use their electricity. They use it to read your mind!!!
And with that bathroom gone, I present the new and improved wall of Paranoida.

Your crazy swamp hermit could try to figure out the evil link between magic, aliens and pay sites.

Are you bothered by meddling kids? Are you batshit crazy? Is bathing a crazy fad? Then may I present Crazy Swamp Hermit House :

I was a sniffy sneezing house builder today. Maybe that is why my house is snot green.


-main floor.
the second floor has the kitchen and nusery. This house is an attempt at awesome spec.

the boring level. room to expand with bedrooms. I lost my interests about this floor when I realize that no one can afford this house in my neighborhood.


Extremely expensive. Here is a link if anyone wants this Money Pit. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=c89d6532ad287de007258ee67c679e4ae04e75f6e8ebb871

Anebrd is proud to present
RED NINJA'S HOUSE OF GAMING

Gaint Red Ninjas stand guard over RED NINJA's HOUSE OF GAMING



The payphone doesn't work but other than the sims being whiny little brats when it came to lining up for the electro sphere I haven't encounter any problems. I took one of those "Lets go downtown and spend your money" groups and it wasn't laggy (to me).

Since I messed up the first challenge by moving the walls for the bedroom, I thought I would try again. Again very cheap, under 20,000. No walls moved. No trees moved. the path only modify a little.





Added a link http://www.mediafire.com/file/mznnynndqkz/2 Oak Street.Sims2Pack  If it fails, let me know. First time uploading.
Tried to get it more stylish than the last one.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Faizah- I like the railing idea.
MistyK- That cabin is just beautiful.
Eaglezero-Very pretty. I like the color scheme on your house and apartment.
Borkedforlife-adore the prison. Might be good to grab for the asylum challenge I think
theresatv- I like it. Creative use of trees
Isil-I like the color scheme.
Bliss- I like your spa and took the Tudor. I know a over populated Capp family that will adore it.
Quetzkotl- I like your cabin. Also I learn a sink will fit on a cheap counter and look neat as well.
Salixtree- Love it Very Magical Feel
Minena-Very Classy looking. See a few ideas I am going to snag when I do the insides of my sims houses.
Crunk- I like your house. Seems Like a kindly old witch's home after she's retired.
Loripanori- Like the inside of both of your houses very much
Strangel- Has several ideas that I may use in the future. Plus I like the color scheme
Tingeling- I think I am going to grab both your houses for a pair of rich farts in my game.
Twooflower-Very nicely country
Kyna-Very nice. Looks very chic.

 It's simple and cheap, under 20,000. I plan to move some newbies in that is why the place is blah. I didn't remove any trees but I did have to move them around a bit.

This is what it looks from the neighborhood view.


Here it standing in the front yard
Have a nice little garden out front and when the money starts to come in, I plan on having a little pond on the other side of the path
and here is the floor plan

Plain inside but Iwanted to keep it under 20,000. Comes in at 18,000 or 19,000.
