I hate having to go down through all the levels of a community building to tell my Sims to "go here." I also hated the kids going all the way upstairs to do their homework at the library. So, I deleted the top floor (after moving every bookcase and desk downstairs) while I added on a wing in the center back to hold the desks and computers.
I wanted to keep the original look of the building. I also did not want to add anything that wasn't originally there, so there would be no unfair advantages when playing different challenges. So, while I rearranged a lot of the book cases and desks, I tried to keep the layout very similar. (I did rearrange the bathroom stalls though and added a few more reading chairs and end tables.)
Anyway, why might you want this library in your hood?
1. Your books have been disappearing over time as NPCs and other Sims might have put them in their own inventory after a visit to the library.
2. You are tired of every book your Sims write showing up in the bookcases and would like to have a clean bookcase.
3. You hate your Sims trudging upstairs to do their homework and then back downstairs again.
4. You also hate having to click "level down" so many times to click on the bookcase, computer, bathroom stall, etc. that you want your Sim to use.
5. You might want the full library available in Riverview rather than just the Wright Reading Room.
How do you put this library in your game? You need to enter "Edit Town" mode. Then, either delete your current library (only after you know the building is empty) OR chose a residential lot that will house a 32x32 space and change that residential lot to a commercial one. (There is a 40x40 lot at 415 Skyborough Blvd in Sunset Valley just one block away from the current library spot, so it would still be at your town center.) Then place this library on the lot.
Also, this file will unzip to a .sim3package so use the launcher (or Pescado's recommended method) to import this into your game after unzipping it.
Lot Size: 4x4
Lot Price: 37,674

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
