Excellent job! This house is amazing. I love the style. I'm still playing around with building, and I always admire artistic talent in the architecture (mine end up being pretty plain). I love new and unique-looking housing for my Sims, and your additions to my game are very much appreciated and enjoyed!
A couple of suggestions for people having problems with the files:
I don't know what's up, but to anyone having corruption issues, it's not aelflaed's fault; it's a problem caused by us (the community) - the "freya" server is being man-handled and she doesn't like it. Any downloads coming from that server (such as these files) are exceptionally slow (have been for a while now) and they tend to break up a lot (resulting in "unexpected end of archive" errors when extracting your files) unless you use a download manager (ensuring it is set to 1 connection only, of course) - hmm, that's a lot of parantheticals.
Anyway, on 3Mb broadband, I'm still only getting an average of 0.4-0.8kbps download speed from "freya" and it pauses/suspends a lot (sometimes so long that your computer gives up and decides to claim the download is finished even though it's incomplete). So until they get the new server up and running, I predict large downloads such as this will remain fraught with issues.
If you do get an extraction error (most likely "unexpected end of archive," or if you're using
WinZIP something along the line of "this file is corrupt or incomplete") check to be sure the file size on your hard drive matches up with what is listed above (7.77 MB and 2.90 MB, respectively) - if not, then you don't have the complete file on your hard drive and have to download it again.
Download Tip: If you did get a bad copy, it is recommended that you delete the corrupt file (don't overwrite it), and you should probably also delete your temporary internet files so that your computer isn't "tricked" into thinking it already downloaded the file, in which case it'll simply duplicate the bad copy again. To do this, go to Tools > Delete Browsing History for IE7+ users; can also be done using the Windows' Disk Cleanup utility in Accessories > System Tools folder in the start menu. If you try to download the file again and your computer instantly says it finished downloading, then you definitely need to clear out your temp files.
This scenario causes some people to incorrectly blame the uploaded files; they keep trying to download new copies, but the archives keep giving corruption errors. However, there's usually nothing wrong with the uploaded file; it's caused because you're computer isn't downloading a fresh copy of the file; it's simply just copying the bad version from your temp internet files (it's designed to work that way to speed up page load times, but this does cause some problems in situations such as this). Note that simply hitting the Refresh button in your browser won't solve this problem.
Hope this helps some of you!
