225 Main Street, Pleasantview ~ Maxis Makeover #43 ~ 3B/2.5B w/garage

This house is original to BG/Pleasantview. I tried to keep the same character as what Maxis gave us, and also spruce it up a bit for our modern all-EP/SP simmies to enjoy. As you can see in the floorplan pictures below, I've turned turned the original 2 bedrooms and one shared bath into 3 bedrooms - one a Master Suite with it's own bathroom, and two smaller kid's rooms with a shared bath. There's still a half bath downstairs and a large kitchen - actually, a bit larger now and with a full set of appliances... And I added a carriage house style garage plus a hidden attic room above the Master Suite.


This is a clean copy if the lot - no Sim has set foot in it. The package has been cleaned with both Mootilda's Clean Installer and Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor (read about it HERE ) and then double checked with SimPE - it's as squeaky as they come!

The lot has been play-tested; everything is accessible and in good working order. An invisible smoke alarm is under the range hood in the kitchen, the phone is on the wall in the kitchen, and the burglar alarm is by the front door. The furnishings are sparse - as were what maxis originally gave us in this house. Everything for your Sim's basic needs is included. Please personalize it to meet your sims whims.

Let's go house-hunting with the Gavigans! Please scroll through all the pictures above to tour this house with them, and see all it has to offer.



Necessary, and NOT included - GO get them:
Backless Tub/Shower by HL @ MTS2
Wellwisher Door by LeeFish @ LeeFish
White Pinegultcher Fence by Numenor @ MTS2
Lifestyle Build Bundle - It's the second link in the top post - extracted from Lifestyle Stories by Argon @ MATY. I used wallpapers and floors from this set.

You will also need: Anoeska's MMF AL Spiral Stairs in your game. Though they are not used on this lot. These are mirrored versions of the Maxis Spiral stairs, and they include a change which allows sims to walk under all the spiral stairs - which is necessary to get to the hidden attic room.


Standard mods I use that are not necessary nor included - but were probably used whilst building/photo-ing/prepping this house for upload...
I use Moi's Roof Shader for brighter roofs
Maranatah's White Wall Top texture replacement
Moo's Turn On/Off Lights
Menaceman's Lunatech Lighting Fix
BeosBoxBoy's no-red-pause-mod
I also use FRAPs to take in-game pictures, and PhotoShop to clean/collage said pictures.
And, I highly recommend using gummilutt's Invisible Medicine Cabinet to add features to any mirror - as per her policy, it's not used or included in this lot.


Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price (furnished): $37,434
