Picked Upload

This is my second upload to MTS2! This is a combination of contemporary style with modern features.

This was one of the first houses I created for TS2, though I've touched it up a bit for this upload, it still has that "newness" feel (at least to my eye).

I really enjoy open spaces in my Sim houses, it's great for taking pictures, so this house is one of those examples. The main feature you'll see on coming through the front door is the huge vaulted ceilings in the living room. Another handy selling point of the house is the large master suite on the first floor, which means less travel time throughout the house.

Another fun highlight of this house is the artists' loft complete with painting easles and backdrops. Just sit down your model and paint them with ease! =)

I hope you enjoy the house, I'd love to hear comments and suggestions!

(ADDED): I forgot to mention that there is also a large unfinished attic for when your family expands. It is all set up to be used as an extra bedroom and bathroom. There is even a space for storage for baby items that aren't in use or old family heirlooms!

(ADDED): Due to some comments about this lot crashing a couple people's games, I'd like to mention that while *I* have all expansion packs, this lot was created before any were released. However, please install at your own risk! If you have a 'vanilla' game, this lot may not work in your game.

Thank you everyone for your compliments, it really means a lot, and I'll probably be uploading another house soon. =)

I changed my first post to reflect the question above, the house was built before any expansion packs came out so it is perfectly "vanilla". Something that EVERYONE can enjoy!

Thank you again for all your kind words, please DO let me know how you like the house in your game, I'd love to hear stories or see pictures of it in YOUR neighborhoods!

They certainly have room to expand! I forgot to mention in my original post that there is a pretty big unfurnished attic. After I had been playing with the house for awhile in my own game, I had one of my teens move up to the attic and use the space. It's all set up for a bedroom and bathroom, and a 'rompus room'. So, there's PLENTY of room to grow into! =)

The only thing I did before I uploaded here was move a couple things around, but did not add anything to the house that wasn't there before. I'm sorry that your game crashed, but I can't imagine why THIS download would have done that! =(

I just wish it would have worked in my game cause it looks like a great house! From the pictures it looks amazing. Probably just my stupid computer that hates me.

Mully, the only thing I can think of is that going back into the house maybe did something to the package that requires the expansions even though there are no objects from the expansions included? Perhaps someone else with no expansions has downloaded it and can tell us if it works in their game? Again, I'm really sorry it isn't working for you, I wish I knew how I could help you!! =(
