Well I managed to go back as far as 1420 to get original layouts for this beastie.

Thurland Castle was built by the Tunstall family in Lancashire, England circa 1300 and has undergone many changes.

30 years ago I used to visit the castle with my family and play in the grounds. Today it is no more than a block of apartments

I have replaced things like the clock tower on the south side of the building that was removed in 1656 during the English civil war and replaced the surrounding wall that once stood there before it was smashed by the Kings army in 1672

Can be bought for the princely sum of $290,000 and boasts 11 on suit bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and 10 ground floor rooms comprising of:

(Open floor plan to view room descriptions)

1. Library
2. Sitting room
3. Music room
4. Lounge
5. Library
6. Study
7. Reception
8. Dining room
9. Family room
10. Kitchens
11. Games room

May your sims enjoy its grounds and roof tops as I did many moons ago

If this gets a decent reception I shall remake using base game only

Basic Download and Install Instructions:

1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).

• You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
