This is lovely!

How do you get your arches to be next to each other and still work? (Like the vestibule and the entrances to the dining and living rooms)

Thank you I'm glad you like it!
The arches (and doors too, and windows intersecting fences, etc) - that is a graphic glitch (it not working)
Just use the MoveObjects cheat to place them, save the lot, then go out to the hood and back, and the windows/doors will be 'cut through'. Sims will use them as normal. Be careful exploiting this glitch in heavy traffic areas - sims may get themselves stuck and then act all stompy. ...just watch the arrows/direction-of-flow when you place the doors. .

This house plan is particular as any Dutch
Really, you know I like like scrabbing in corners and seach for dark nooks. But now I will not. When you see such house, where each bedroom copypasted around hall, you understand that you need to make perfect just one bedroom. And all other bedrooms perfection would be copypasted ^_^ And here it is perfect. Think that it is strong point of architect. I'd rather take this one.

LOL! But this bathroom is too small for you Vic, and there isn't a separate shower.
I know what you mean about the 'copy-paste' bedrooms. In fact, if I had left out the closets all 4 bedrooms would be exactly the same - with closets, the back two bedrooms are a tile shorter than the front two. ...And with not a nook in sight
I think, of all the other Dutch Colonials in this 62 Floor-plan/1920s Series, this one is the best. It is the epitome of the style.

omg I've been playing the sims 2 for like 15 years and I had no idea

LOL You learn somethin' new every day!
Joandsarah77 told me about it several years ago...

So cute this one! Got it and set it in place.

But then...phooie! For reasons I haven't figured out, the basement room gives me a graphical glitch. What I end up with is, instead of beautiful smooth walls, mine show really dark, thick very long vertical evenly spaced lines around the entire basement. I know its not "this" lot, or any of your lots causing it, because just to make sure, I also downloaded and put in place Mootilda's old original basement house, and it had the same. So it's something about my stuff. Lord knows what. UC, very good graphics rules.sgr settings, super good graphics card.

Uninstalled both lots just to be safe, so can't do a screenie. But..its similar to your one tutorial picture illustrating "the nether" the one that shows black lines going down. Except mine go from the top of the basement walls down all the way into the nether. So bummer.

If you ever come across by chance anyone who has heard of that, let me know!

Does this happen in 'live' mode? It shouldn't, and if it does then there really is a problem.

Moo said somewhere (I can't find it off the top of my head) but, she explained that sometimes you will see those lines in build mode - up in the basement/living area - and that is perfectly normal. It is just graphical glitchiness due to the way the walls are turned inside out to create the no-slope mumbo-jumbo-ness. So, if that's all it is (in build-mode - not live mode) then, don't let it freak you out. It's OK. And, kinda like slipping down into the Nether, you'll get used to it after a while.

If it's still there in Live mode... I don't know what to tell you? Is it with all no-slope basements? (Did you test more than mine and Moo's?)

I'm glad you like the lot I hope we can make it work for you!

Only tested those two, but I'm very persistent! I think I'm going to try putting them back and having some sims move in and see how it looks then. When I looked at the lots, there were no sims living in them yet. I think technically that would make me in build mode maybe. I love these so much, I will keep trying!

Yup! I think that's technically "build mode" - fingers crossed!

That was totally it! Squeeeeeee! So exited now, I can have em all!!!!

YAY! :HappyDance: I'm so glad
Thank you for letting me know!
