driveway placement difficulty
JavaChild:
Can anyone recommend a good site to download houses from? I'm not on the NL bandwagon yet so they don't necessarily hafta allow room for driveways n' such but I've heard so much about all kinds of shit coming with downloaded homes that I've never quite worked up the courage...

Javachild: Get Sims2pack Clean Installer:
http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com
It will let you browse the contents of any lot download before you install it and uncheck any files you don't want. Unless the creator has specified they included some custom content with their lot like walls, floors or groundcover, the only file that should be in there is the actual lot's file. Generally, walls, floors and groundcover should be okay. Some people chose to include custom objects like furniture, those shouldn't be a big deal either.
But, if you see any hacks, careers etc then uncheck them. They shouldn't be there but can and do sneak in and in most cases the person who packaged up the house was quite unaware of this.

You're welcome to look at my lots if you like: http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/forumdisplay.php?f=125
I have taken a great deal of trouble to make sure there are no hacks in my lots - heaps of custom content but no hacks I am aware of. I have installed them myself & don't see anything with clean pack installer. The phone line controller is the hardest to get rid of. :)
PS If you go to my ea.com page, I'm 'bolshywitch' on the bbs, don't download the Leopard Clan house - downloading sims is really bad for your game - you can probably get away with a few, but too many and you'll have heaps of extra crap in your n'hood. :)

Thank you both very much... I do so hate building houses.
Merrily off to download even more now
