Well here goes.  I have all the EPs, but only the Ikea and M&G stuff packs.  Oh, and the store stuff from here.  It's far from Awesomespec as I don't play that way, but is easy to adapt.  Extending the rail at the top of the stairs with a gate and locking the back door limits the movement of visitors.  I did try it and it worked well.  The one desk is on the ground floor in the family room.

Ground Floor Plan.  Yes, Cecil gets his aquarium.






First Floor Plan.






Second Floor Plan.



I went picture happy so I'm only posting a couple of my favorites.  The rest can be found here:  http://s410.photobucket.com/albums/pp188/originalhalf/January%2009%20House%20of%20Phail/  (yeah, I'll work on fixing that link length later).




Entryway Garden.  The little fairy is soooo cute.






Emma's Concertina Windows.






Spawn Area.  I adore those sun god lamps.






Private Balcony with hot tub.


I never use this many decorative objects (except for landscaping) so that was a huge challenge.  I tend toward strictly utilitarian and don't do frou-frou.   I highly recommend you run it through Clean Installer - I did, but as I'm an igmo with some stuff I can't guarantee I knew what I was doing.

Piss, almost forgot the file.  It's here  http://www.mediafire.com/?2dy10dzzxxn

@ loaf - Oh HELLS yeah!  Yoinking this immediately!

Rassin' frassin' Verizon and work.  Ok, here goes:

@starlady - I really like your kitchen.  I have a fondness for that diner combo.  I also like how you put the skilling items in the hallway.  I'll have to try that, it's different from the usual places.

@witch - I really like art nouveau but am having issues with the Maxis interpretation.  It's so - movie theatre-ish.  I love, love, love what you did with the front stairs!  I have a 3 witch family this will work for.

@Minena - Yoinking this, so all-American looking which I can't build for diddly. 

@eaglezero - I like little courtyards like that, never tried one like that.  Cute.

@Bliss - Yay for neutrals!  I really, really like that kitchen.

@PearlRose - I never would have thought of putting the stairs there.  Ditto to witch's comment on your kitchen.

@realmscat -  Orderly.  I like orderly.  Orderly is really good.  So is white.  Love the master bedrooms.  Really nice object placement.  How's it play?

@leaths -  Got this one.  Love how you did the garden/greenhouse.  I'm a sucker for a badass garden.


I promise to upload mine tomorrow. Between internet connection issues at home and the little Malaysian boy slacking on the job here at MATY I didn't even try.

@ twooflower - oh that is cute, can't wait to see the rest

@ SalixTree - will yoink when I get home.  I love your livingrooms, I can't ever get that cozy feel with mine.  I have a particular MATY personality in mind for this house with her 12 cats.

@ Vespinito - that roof is interesting, you don't have the "ZOMG there's weather in mah house!" complaints?  Love the master bedroom.  Like the hot tub room but doesn't the hot tub push through the ceiling below?  (Or have these things been fixed and I missed them?)

@ Batelle - late I know but I do like your house, a lot.  I like the r/w/b color scheme and the all-American style of the house itself.  Very nice.

@ Faizah - I suck at making cabins so thanks for this one.

@ jim - I have to figure out how to use that castle as a community lot!  Brilliant!


*witch - I'm a Bauhaus-aholic so modern is what I do most.  The game is conducive to that type of architecture.  I depend on everyone else's talent here to get the traditional styles.

As you can see, Cecil and I need to playtest it first.




(crap I hope I did this right)

Now this is why I never put anything up.  Dear Goddess can one be any more intimidated right now?  Oh well, before the end of the week I guess.

@Faizah and chobeegal - I figured it would require patience which I lack, but I'll give it a shot the next time, thanks!

@SalixTree - yoinking immediately!  I think I have all your entries in game.  If this is a little intimate cottage I'm going to be SO happy.

@aubreylaraine - off topic but your avatar always makes me smile.

@emma and jim - see: intimidation

@eevilcat - I really need to try those roofs myself one day.

I like how you enclosed the spiral stairs.  I'll have to try that sometime after I friggin' figure out how to stack the damn things.

@Nepheris - I agree, the conservatory is lovely!  I also like your use of wood throughout, it's hard to match up the woods sometimes.

@mistyk  - the aquariums are very cool indeed!

@Minena - yoinking NAO!

If I hadn't appropriated acquired 2 stuffs packs over the holidays this would not be remotely possible.  Basic Maxis shit content is at best a challenge.

*heart farts all custom content creators I use*

I haven't watched the "Kill Bill" movies in awhile, hmm.

*wanders off to find the dvds, not download that Darryl Hannah wannabe funky eye patch and actually play the Sims for a change

Ack!  Pick one!  I'm going to throw my hat into the ring with all of you professionals this time, so which is it?

*ties a couple of lodestones around jolrei's neck and throws some magnetic sand at him*

There you go.

Son of Perdition aka Prince of Hell isn't good enough for you?  Damn demanding overlord aren't you?

Anarchist cat PMBD - because there's a cat
Broken Plumbob - right to the point
Pirate Cannonball - most brilliant (IMHO)
Retard-o Card - MUST HAVE
Generic lolcat response

I couldn't give a rat's ass about soupers so that doesn't appeal to me.  The Flying Fish gives me the heebee jeebees so I can't have that staring at me.  I really liked the stick figures but it took me about 5 minutes to decipher some of the scrawl and I don't want anyone staring at me IRL long enough trying to decipher it either.

oh please fix this one

I moved one of Brynne's incarnations of Joe into the House of Fallen Trees.  Then I brought Gvaudoin back to life through SimPE first, and had her resurrect Fricorth.  It was a domino effect after that.  Each one resurrected wanted to bring back another.  I didn't have to move the others from the cemetary, just resurrected them right on the lot.  Interestingly, none of them spun a want to resurrect Jennicor, I just had Jon Smith do it to complete the family.
