Personal Picked Upload! This is a personal favourite of the creator!
This upload contains 2 lots:
- Original Straud Mansion from "The Sims 4" rebuild in "The Sims 2"
- Remade version of this house made in "The Sims 2"

Remade Lot Description:
I had this Vampire Mansion on my account for a while and I thought that this lot made by Electronic Arts is not that bad, but it needs a lot of more dimension and care to make it look more like a proper vampire mansion. So I took my old build and started to make a nice, worth remake. In the end I'm really happy with what I've created!
There are tons of candles in this mansion to show that vampires really hate sunlight. I also wanted to put a lot of mirrors in this house to show how much vampires want to see their reflection again or to show that monsters don't have reflections. There is a lot of expensive furnitures and paintings to show that those things were collected for quite some time. I'm happy how the grand library in the living room turned out, because there are books all over the place to show how vampires are old and don't really like technology and rather to read a book. There is this hidden study in the tower. I wanted to make it look like some vampire want to have a privacy from prying eyes. There is also a crypt in the basement, hidden by the bookcase in a library to make it look like person who lives here has secrets. Also I added a greenery outside, inspirated by Black Mirror Castle from the point&click game of the same name.
I added a lot of small details inside and outside the mansion to add charm and atmosphere to the entire lot such as towers, ventilations, gardens, a cemetery, a small piece of forest with a well and a lot more.

Original Lot Description:
I've recreated "Straud Mansion" from "The Sims 4" in "The Sims 2".
I didn't change much things, I only made a few little changes. It's still the same house but in other game. It may not be 1:1 scale, because engaine of the game didn't let me do it exactly the same as in the fouth generation game.

In both versions I used cheats to build them, but I tested them and everything should work just fine.
I also used cheats to make more floors, so FPS could be low on these lots as well as the remaked version, because there are really a lot of objects so be patient while loading the lot.

Mods I recommend to use with this lot:
(They are not needed, but that might help with proper working of things on this lot or with gameplay.)

- Shiftable Everything (I used this mod a lot to make this lot detailed. Having it in your 'Downloads' folder might help with proper work of furniture on this lot.)

- Perfect Plants (Some of the plants in garden are set on cheats and your sims may have problems to get to them to take care of those plants.)

- Watch TV from all chairs (Sometimes I set TVs in places that sims can't really wath them from chairs or sofas. This mod will help them to sit and watch the TVs.)

- No Fire from Fireplaces (Sometimes I put fireplaces on cheats and near the furniture so be careful with lightning them up or simply download this mod.)

- Use Inaccessible Bed (It helps sims to reach beds if they need to.)
https://modthesims.info/d/686473/us...ssible-bed.html

I didn't use any custom content to build this.

I built in "The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection", so I'm not sure how will it work with any other version of the game.

I hope you enjoy!
