Welcome to the Lara Croft Manor!
ATTENTION: Please read ALL of this description, because this is not just a big house, i have something special for you this time!
I built this Manor for over 5 days now and i'm finally happy with it. I built this house after the interior design of the "Tomb Raider Legend" Manor and added a few own ideas to spice it up. If you know and played "Tomb Raider Legend" you will feel like you are in the Manor in the game, i put a lot of effort into it to make it as similar as possible with the tools available.
This manor offers:
Large living room with fireplace of course, which is the mainhall at the same time, 1kitchen, 1 bathroom, 1 fitnessroom, libary, Large computer terminal, beautiful indoor Pool and finally a garden as wild as Lara Croft herself with LOTS of details, if you look for them you'll find them.
It is large,but it is designed for a small amount of Sims, preferable 1 Lara Croft Sim
HERE is my recommendation for a Lara Sim:
>>> CLICK <<<
DON'T run away now, here are the extras i built in for your enjoyment and to try something completely different.
1.) -- "Treasurehunt" --
To complete the Lara Croft athmosphere, i built in this small minigame. There are -28- baseballs and -14- footballs hidden all over the place. Just put the ball in the inventory as you find it and stack them to see how many you found so far.
Difficulty level:
Walls down = EASY
Half walls = MEDIUM
Walls up = HARD
I recommend you play this "minigame" at least with MEDIUM difficulty.
2.) -- "Find the books" --
Lara has many books in her manor, so i thought i place almost every available book spread all over the manor, for you to find them. Buying books is boring? Then just look for them in the manor and explore it at the same time with this 2nd "minigame" !
TIP: Do not hire a Maid, or she will carry away all the books in the manor and destroys this minigame!
I had this project in mind since Sims 3 came out and now it's finally done. I hope you enjoy this house + the minigames and i recommend to tune in the relaxing Tomb Raider Manor soundtrack
(>>> Tomb Raider Legend - Manor OST <<<)
or
(>>> Tomb Raider Anniversary - Manor OST <<<)
and play this house with a Lara Croft Sim to get the full athmosphere.
If you are interested in the full soundtrack -->CLICK , it's completely FREE!
Here some pictures:
8 screens are not enough to show all of it, but i'm sure you will happily explore this large Manor!

I have quit creating for Sims 3 and moved on to other games. I enjoyed creating for MTS and i am happy that so many people liked my sims. I'm still lurking, but i am not active anymore. Hope you still find my sims here and enjoy playing them.
Farewell! But i will probably be back for Sims 4, let's hope they get it right with the editor ;)
!! Must have mods !!
Alternative UI mod for Non-default Skintones by Anach (Anach_CASSkins6x4_1.17.package)
Mastercontroller mod by twallan (Install it and experiment with this baby, you will be surprised!)
Alternative sliderhacks by [B]aWT and CmarNYC (If you don't like awesomemod for some reason)
HQ Modification by aWT (used for HQ textured uploads, you'll see them more often now i guess)

[B]Q/A
- I create for the BASEGAME ONLY, no Addons! For maximum compatibility.
- All my sims are tested in the basegame without CC (to test , if they crash) and with all used CC before uploading, to make sure they look like in the pictures, if you installed all the needed CC correctly. So if my sims don't work in an addon it might be, because some mods or CC doesn't work there, or a new patch screws with mods.
- If you ask why i add musiclinks to my uploads. It's my way to share my musictaste with the community and i try to make the tracks fit the character.
- ''Why do you have such nice graphics?'' I have every graphic setting ingame and in my card's driversettings absolute max (x16 Ansitropefiltering, Antialiasing max ingame) and i use the max allowed filesize for jpg(250kb) and png(150kb), so i get the best picture quality possible. For the thumbnails i use png format, to avoid pixelation and the slight blurriness the jpg format gives these small pictures.
I use XP-Paint and GIMP to edit the raw bmp-screenshots, which i take with FRAPS.
- ''Do you take requests?'' Nope, sorry. I have too
