Very cool, both inside and out, and the rooms with your solar panels are quite striking! I'm playing a BaCC in a desert hood that this would be perfect for.

Can you maybe upload this house unfurnished? I realize there will still be CC but i'm hoping it will be a little less? This house is GORGEOUS I want it but not with too much CC. Please and thanks?

Thanks so much for your comments! Marz3na, I wish I could upload the house unfurnished, but I uninstalled Night Life because I was trying to make room for Sims3 Pets, which didn't work by the way, and I lost the house. Do you have Sims2 Clean Installer? If you right click on the sims2pack after you extract it, and open with sims2 clean installer, you can get rid of all the cc. You probably already know that, but I thought I'd mention it!

allison, thanks so much for the lovely comment! Maya, I used the cheat "boolprop constrainfloorelevation false" which lets you make 1/4 walls. I put a layer of tiles on the 1/4 wall and traced the tiles with fencing. Then I removed the tiles and placed a full size wall right in front of the 1/4 wall which caused the fencing to slant. You really need pictures. Maybe I could write a tutorial unless there is one already. I'll have to research! Thanks for asking!

tsoureki! I'm so glad you like the house. This one wouldn't be the same without some southwestern cc!

It's gorgeous, I love the slanted windows so much! I always wondered if you could get see-through tiles for skylights, I adore skylights but they seem very hard to do and get.

Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

Charmful, maybe we could put some skylights in your dorm! I'm starting on it this weekend!

A very pretty home. I used to live in Scottsdale, AZ - and this reminds me of the housing in the desert. Big enough for a good sized family, too.

Hi Ileeya! Thanks so much for the comment! I live in Arizona, surrounded by gravel, but lots of great desert plants. I like desert landscaping, but I think most people prefer lush.

Aw! Do you have a picture? Or ideas in mind? I'd love to try it!
