Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce
« on: 2007 July 02, 15:23:50 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I'm a couple of days late for the Building Contest of Awesomeness.  But I built this out of need for a functional house for a growing family that didn't have crap loads of money.  And just for the sake of it I followed most of the Awesome Spec Building Code Regulations.  So I figured I'd share anyway.

Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce.  Now yours for around $52k.



First Floor.



Color Codes:

White - Foyer.  Contains The One Desk.  Ample space for Cheat kickage and Noodlesoother hat stands.
Green - Living area.
Teal - Downstairs bathroom.
Black - Garage.
Blue - Dining area.
Red - Lockable Kitchen
Yellow - Lockable Stairwell.

Second Floor.



Teal - Bathroom one and two.
Blue and Pink - Snot nosed ankle bitter's rooms.
Red - Mom and Pop's room.
Black - Skilling area.
White - Big open space.  Area over Foyer can be covered up to provide more room should Mom and Pop procreate again.

Now, you might be asking, "This is all well and good Trepie.  But what makes this sauce so awesome?"  I'm glad you asked!



The now tried and true Anti-Critter Perimeter Defense System keeps annoying animals, both normal and supernatural, from entering your yard, destroying your foliage, harassing your pets, and eating you baby.



Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce also includes the Interior Defense System.  Keeping seemingly harmless visitors from plundering your food stock and wandering around upstairs.  Where they may rummage through the dressers in the bedrooms so they can sniff you're wife's panties.

As you can see, the reason why Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce is labeled as such is from the complete lack of anything from the Decrotive and Landscaping categories.  Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce was designed to grow with your family.  As your family grows in wealth, so will the opportunities to decorate Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce with aesthetic novelties.



Adequate yard space provides enough room for a future pond for those in your family who would like to try their hand at fishing.



The back yard is also spacious.  Is there a sim in your family with a green thumb?  This area would make a lovely garden for them.

Did I mention you get all of this on a 3x3 lot?  This provides more than enough space for you and yours without bringing your computer to its knees.  I guarantee it, or your money back!

So what are you waiting for?  Order Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce today!

I think you would have gotten the price quite a bit lower if you only kept the front fencing, but oh well. I do like this lot.

This is a lovely house, Trepie. I really like the roof, and find the neutral colour-scheme to be very soothing. Nice layout too. Iz purty. Smiley

Yup, you and Trepie have been making out pretty hot and heavy, and Annann and Pescado are best friends forever & ever. He's even let her in on why killing with thumbs is better than killing with the forefinger. Trepie was also trying to get some from Peggy Pennybags, but she wasn't having any of it. A peasant trying to get overly friendly with a royal... Shocked

The dome roof is from OFB. And I think those windows are not base game either.

Not much -- I deleted all but the front fences when I dropped this into a hood, and it only lowered the price by about 1k.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said "quite." Anyway, too much fencing just isn't a good thing. It makes the lot more likely to lag and is generally a waste of money, though I suppose it does look nice.

"Trepie's Budget Awesomesauce" - expansion packs required?
« Reply #17 on: 2008 January 03, 03:34:59 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

To my great chagrin, I appear to be missing some required expansion pack for this lot to work. I only have NL and OFB. What is missing?

This lot is perfect for the family that I have been playing for some time now. It fits in perfectly with their budget and family size, and it looks very playable. What a pity. Any questions? Maybe someone would be so ridiculously kind to remove any building features and/or other content from other expansion packs and reload the lot?

Guess I'll dabble in some necromancy,too.

Won't be possible.  When you package a lot, it will always, at a minimum, require the latest expansion  that the packager had installed at the time of packaging, regardless of whether it contains content from that expansion. Downgrading requires actually rebuilding the lot in a game where only the desired expansions are installed.

According to the Packaged Lot's xml data, Trepie had the following expansions and stuff packs installed in the game when he packaged the lot:

The Sims 2
University
Nightlife
Open For Business
Family Fun Stuff
Glamour Life Stuff
Pets
Seasons
Celebration Stuff
H&M Stuff

As such, the result's going to require at least Seasons.

Doesn't the Clean Pack Installer ignore that? (And if it does, do you end up with a lot with non-compatible features erased/replaced, or a lot that freezes on load?)

I believe you're correct. From what I've been told, if the lot requires  an expansion  that came out later than any of the ones you have,  and you force the issue with Sims2Pack clean installer, the lot will freeze or crash. If you do have an expansion that matches, or came out after the latest expansion the lot requires, the lot will install, but objects/textures may be missing depending on what the lot-builder used, and what you have.

 And if you use Sims2Pack Clean Installer to strip the content from an already packaged lot, the XML <Gameversion> tag seems to be rewritten to say that the lot only requires The Sims 2, regardless of what expansions may actually be required for the lot.

Thanks for all of the detailed explanations, guys. And I apologise for committing the abhorrent act of necromancy. I was a bit sleep-deprived at the time of posting, and I was under the impression that I had created a new thread. Instead, of course, I was adding to a dead thread. Guess it also happens when you take advantage of the tabs feature of Firefox.

Well, it's a pity. Because I really like that home. I usually only play with one family at a time, and, as such, they get bigger. My sim unexpectedly had twins, and now I'm in need of a home with at least FOUR bedrooms. As home designers generally seem to sacrifice playability for the sake of aesthetics, few decent homes on the internets have more than 3 bedrooms. That's why this home seemed so appealing to me.

I also like that it's budget-y. I have a very nice home that I can use, but it's unfurnished, and I already make many downloads as it is, and don't want the tedious task of looking for decent furniture for a newly decorated home. Besides, others do it so much better anyhow. I'll just have my Tenney family take out another huge loan, but only if I can manage to run a decent business, so I can sell it, and repay another outstanding loan, haha.

I'm glad you committed necromancy because I wanted to, just to talk about this house. My daughter and I have been playing it together and separately since it was uploaded and I really wish you could use it. It's one of the most playable houses we've ever seen, and better than any of those we've built. Last night we turned it into a dorm and, as we suspected, it makes a great dorm too.

Fellow lover of this lot. I've had a family run through three generations in it so far, one with a granted Ten Maggots want. No matter how things changed, there was always room and no queue stompage.
