This house is exquisite. There are no other words that can describe. I could never make a "Maxis" house look so extraordinary. Although I cannot play such a large lot, I envy those who can. You are truly talented. Possibly the best I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Keep up the excellent work!!

After storms weathered my heart by and by,
You placed for me, a rainbow, high in the sky.
You comforted me, Consoled me, Consumed me,
Consummated me.
You loved me long, I loved you hard.
That spring we were rarely apart.

Yes, you may include the paintings in uploaded houses--those were submitted freely for you to do whatever you wish with them--just don't use them for commercial purposes. (And please give credit!)

I will be releasing some more paintings with future house uploads. The first house of my new Country Estates series is in development now and will include some more paintings for you to enjoy. Have fun!

I used the Millenium reflective floor tiles, available here:

http://www.muranomobilia.com/

They're transparent--just lay them down over your regular floor, and make sure that reflections are enabled in the Options menu of your game. The floors use your mirror files, but they don't affect anything. Enjoy!

I do plan to make some smaller houses in the future--the big ones are so fun to build, though!

Tinuke: To use this house, you will need the following expansions: Nightlife, Open For Business, University, and Pets. If you have all of those expansions and still can't install the house, let me know so I can fix it! Thanks.

For people who don't have all the expansions, I am planning on making a limited series of houses that don't require any expansions at all (just Sims 2) sometime in the near future.

Wow, this is absolutely amazing! My sims are so spoiled already and this will just make it worse... but they all thank you, and I thank you as well! I love the shower for two...

You're right about the mirror floors slowing down computers, I put them in just one bathroom once and that's why my computer hates me... and my computer is fairly decent... :/

I think that if you build a house with nightlife, it will require nightlife... but I could be wrong... and people can just use clean installer.

Tinuke :: use Clean Installer. [ www.sims2pack.modthesims2.com ] It should work fine. I have Clean Installer and I love it.

Tinuke,

If you remove some of the expansion items from the house (if that is possible), some things may not work correctly, so be very careful.

But from what I understand, if you build a house with an expansion, it requires that expansion. Most of my houses use essential building tools from the expansions (like elevators, garages, split-level flooring, etc), that cannot be removed.

Check out this site for detailed instructions (and screenshots) on how to use Clean Installer. I don't know if Clean Installer will remove expansion items or not--many of them are integrated into the house build itself. I'm not sure how that works. I've never tried to remove things like that with it.

http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/index.php?page=4

I will be releasing a new (limited) series of houses soon that don't require any expansions at all, so that a broader range of people can enjoy them.

I'm sorry if this doesn't help you! I hope it does.

Thanks,

Mairi
