Title: Earth Home
Post by: Zeke on January 07, 2011, 12:22:41 am
I've been working on this lot for a very long time and I hope everyone likes it. Special thanks to MATY for fixing my game (Awesome Mod) and for saving my graphics card from certain doom (FPS limiter).

It started when a couple of environmentally minded Sims asked me to build them a home on a really rustic lot. Their rules were simple;

1. It had to built into the terrain without leveling it. Even the trees, rocks and water had to remain in place.
2. It had to have great views of the light house and surrounding area.
3. It had to built from materials found at the site. Rock, stone, and wood (even snake skins!) were used extensively throughout.
4. It needed room for everything including their kids, guests, a hot tub and all their collectables.

I ended up with a quad-level split-level (four seperate levels but it plays just like a two story lot). Lots of CFE was used in it's construction but there are many areas that will be easy to modify if you so desire. The kids rooms feature pool view windows. The driveway will fill up with cars if you throw a party (it looks pretty cool IMO). There are 3 bedrooms and three full baths. Price is about 200,000 Simoleans.

The lot is Base Game + newest patch and is only 3.19MB. There is no CC. It is intended for 500 Sunnyside Blvd.

Here is a photo slideshow of it. http://s589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/1911Kimber/?albumview=slideshow

Thank you both for the nice comments!  :)

Yes, it certainly did take me a while, but I do enjoy the time I spend on them. I dislike the many building glitches in TS3 but this one went together without too much drama.

I hope to back with another one pretty soon.
