Thank you for these fabulous lots. I especially love the way King's Cross looks! I hope someone does the parliamentary buildings in a style to match :3

Beautiful work! And so much of it! I'll have to try downloading again later, as I received a site not found error when I tried just now. Thank you so much for sharing this and good luck in the contest!

Um... wow. I have no idea what to say to this. You even included gorgeous CC-less versions.

I bow down before you. This completely rocks.

And this is only part 1??!?

Good lord, that's the longest CC list I've ever seen! Totally worth it though--these buildings are absolutely exquisite! Even the versions without custom content are beautiful. Thank you so much, and good luck!

This is absolutely breathtaking - and you must have taken the month off from work! I am considering whether the whole collection would be best in a University neighbourhood or not. There is certainly a heavy collegiate emphasis.

My goodness this is absolutely incredible! I've promised myself I'm going to avoid getting involved in debates about the selection process this time. And there's been so many beautiful and authentic entries that we've all been totally spoiled! I'll just say it once that the winning lots are right here (or possibly in Part 2) and leave it at that.

Thank you everyone. I REALLY want to play in my Victorian neighborhood, so I had to make sure my Simmies have a few educational facilities as well as other places to go. Part 2 has residential lots for each socioeconomic class (except royalty which will come later)! After my Sim Creation Vacation (which will start as soon as Part 2 can be shared and edited) I will create Parts 3 and 4 which will include shops, parks, a church and Kensington Palace as the final lot! Parts 1 and 2 allow you to set up the beginning of your Kensington Neighborhood and hopefully enjoy it without having everything. Besides there are so many fabulous lots in the Victorian uploads to add to this neighborhood and make it playable.

I cleaned up the CC list jhd and now I think your list "looks" longer! The CC is actually not bad at all. After all there are 9 lots attached that share CC! There are plenty of walls though. Most of the items are probably in the Natural History Museum.

P.S. Sophie-David...This is actually my first year off from work. I'm officially a stay at home Mom now. My family needed me more than my students did (although I miss them at times). I have a tendency to do EVERYTHING to the best of my ability which was literally exhausting me. So, I'm home with a few hours of alone time every weekday.

I am in complete and utter awe. Steph, this is absolutely gorgeous! Words fail me. You put so much effort into this, and it really shows -- so many versions for different styles of playing, the breathtaking detail you put into your lots, the amazing walls and floors you make...it's just amazing.

I always get so excited whenever I see that you have something new to share. Thanks so much for all of these!

Arrrgh! I can't download them right now, I keep getting a 404 error. I want to get them in-game as soon as I can, just to go inside and walk through them. This was a huge undertaking, and the scale of it is breathtaking. But the details are still there, in the furnishings as well as in the custom walls. Stunning work, sister.

I'm no longer active here. My latest creations can be found here:

Thank you to everyone who commented. I appreciate the feedback.

It seems BOTH Parts 1 and 2 of The Kensington Collection are downloading at present. So, I will forgive the Evil Cyber Conspirators (ECC), that mysterious faction that reeks havoc on the unsuspecting Internet masses!

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

I'm heading off on my Sim Creation Vacation now. If you should experience 404 Errors in my absence, Please post a message in the Site Issues here:

I will not be logging in to MTS2 again until next Saturday. My official Vacation, will last for 3-4 weeks.

Happy Simming ALL and do enjoy your Kensington downloads!
