I just remembered why I hate sharing lots!
I hate it because I'm utterly incapable of building anything without CC. So, when I decide to share something, it takes a small eternity to track down all the CC. But I was determined, so:
EDITY-EDIT: Forgot to mention, because I was mostly asleep when I posted this, but I have all EPs/SPs. I only used a wall from K&B, so if you don't have that or any other SP you'll have a missing wall in the bathrooms, but you'll be otherwise OK. You will likely need all EPs, though, or else crashy-crashy. Sorry 'bout that! I do need to get AGS installed on this machine so I can make lots needing fewer EPs, but I keep forgetting to put it on this machine here...
OK, NOW for the cut:
So today I intended to work on a tutorial for MTS and maybe do some recoloring. But what I actually did was...build a house? Yeah, I don't get it, either. But whatever, this is meant for a family in my new age-modded neighborhood that decided to have four babies very close together. (And they're not even Family Sims!) The house I initially gave them didn't have nearly enough space for that many cribs at once, so they needed a new one. I wasn't feeling particularly inspired to design something, so I just went to a house plan site online and kinda liked this one, mostly because I liked the "low brick wall with flowers in front" idea, even though I didn't end up trying to figure out how to build something like that in the game but just did a lame approximation instead.
So this is what I came up with. A few more pics:
The floor plan:
The living area:
The kitchen:
Its features:
- Extremely simple design, just a rectangle, but quite a bit of "curb appeal" from the front.
- All red, white, and blue(ish) with lots of roses, hence the name.
- Lots of white picket fence, too.
- 2x3 lot.
- Three decent-sized bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, adequate living/kitchen/dining space. So, enough room for 6, at least, if you double kids up in the secondary bedrooms.
- Dedicated spaces for a closet or dresser in each bedroom, plus one in the little foyer.
- Covered front porch, open rear grilling porch.
- No driveway and no place to put one unless you expand the lot.
- Unfurnished except for lights and, to keep the CC down, boring and un-recolored Maxis bathroom fixtures and kitchen counters/appliances, so the above room pics aren't that exciting. :)
- Given its exterior colors, it would be a good house to do up in a kitchy Americana/country theme, if you're so inclined.
Price as-is is $29,775.
Note: ALL of the CC is in a separate folder that's zipped alongside the lot package, so if you want it/don't already have any of it, you'll need to copy the contents to your Downloads folder.. Here's the list:
- Large and medium rosebushes in front - Originally from Bioshock Infinite, if I'm interpreting an acronym right, converted to TS3 by Veritas and then to TS2 by SamanthaBlack. (Warning: I believe they are fairly high-poly, and there are 12 of them in the front of the lot, so if your game goes all laggy, change 'em out for something else.)

Anything else on the lot that wasn't made Maxis was made by me, which is pretty much all the walls/floors except those noted above and two that are Maxis. I think it's 9 walls/floors, total.
