Fairytale mansions part 1 - Haunted House
The concept
I wanted to build a sort of fairytale castle, but i wanted it playable (I have a tendency to get carried away and make huge lots that arn't practical). I couldn't decide whether I wanted a cute, sweet fairytale house, or a darker version as a sort of update on my vampire mansion. So I did both. Same architecture, different themes.
This is the dark one - its not as gothy as some of my previous creations, because it's limited by the game content, but that's probably not a bad thing considering previous feedback! It did have a basement mausoleum for vamps, but when I tested it, the basement flooded (!) so I took it out.
The specs:
2x3 lot
200k
Playably furnished (everything you need to get going but with room to make it your own)
3 bedrooms (large master, double and single - the tower rooms also make great nurseries)
3 bathrooms.
Large landscaped garden with pool
Garage.
The blurb I have to say to make it clear:
I have ALL EXPANSIONS (up to seasons) on my game. If you do not, and you try to place this lot in your game, YOUR GAME WILL CRASH!! This is not my fault! EP lots are not backwards compatible, so sorry, but there's nothing I can do.
Because I am a geek, I also have all the stuff packs, I am informed however that this will not affect the lot, except that any stuff pack decor/items in the lot will not appear for you. I try to leave SP stuff out as much as I can, but it's not easily identifiable, so if you are missing a SP you may find yourself having to change a floor, or wallpaper that have gone awol.
The future:
Expect to see the sister lot to this coming up as soon as I remember to pack it.
I have also made sims, a good twin and an evil twin to live on these lots!
I am about to photo for upload, a town centre, a christmas themed lot a themed nightclub and a Celebrations Stuff lot.
Lot Size: 2x3
Lot Price: 200 000

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

About Me
Primarily I'm a builder, I do some recolouring etc, but I know where my limits are! I love creating beautiful lots that function well in game. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and a stickler for details, I could upload a lot more, but I wouldn't be happy with it.
I tend to go through phases of particular styles or types of lot, I take a concept and do it to death, selecting the best bits for upload before moving on.
I got really fed up with Sims when a folder of over 40,000 dowloads crippled my gameplay, so I went for a clean install, with no CC - well, a very limited amount of CC, and no build or buy mode stuff, which means that my lots as of August 2007 are all CC free!
Being a Sims addict I have every EP and Stuff pack. Be aware that if you are missing an EP, my lots WILL CRASH YOUR GAME! This is not my fault! EP lots are not backwards compatible! If however you are only missing a Stuff pack, my spies inform me that the lot will work, but you may be missing some content, and have to do some redecorating/furnishing.
As my lots are clean they are unlikely to cause problems in your game. If there is a problem with a lot please let me know, but not before considering the following:
1) Do you have all the correct EPs installed? Due to some confusion regarding stuff pack requirements and combos I would suggest that you apply this to SPs and EPs.
2) Have you installed the lot correctly in your game (I recommend clean installer)?
3) Have you installed any CC or other lots at a similiar time - are you sure the problem is my lot?
4) Have you checked the FAQs on this site for the most likely problems.
5) Do you have any global hacks or custom careers installed? I have seen the effects these have for myself and would suggest you temporarily remove them and test your game without them to see if you can reproduce the problem.
If you have completed the above steps I am more than happy to help you with your problem.
If you have any questions pertinent to a particular download, please ask in the comments of that DL so that others can benefit from the answers, it saves me a lot of PM time!
If you have questions about my work but not specific to a download please feel free to PM me, but please do not use me as a search engine for the FAQs/Wiki. You will get an answer a lot faster if you look for yourself!
I will take requests by PM. Requests are fulfilled faster when they are within my usual style, so do look at my uploads and consider whether your request would sit well amongst them. If you like my work and want something specific, or even have an vague concept you would like to see worked on, I would love to hear about it.
