Lot Name: Beginner Mall


Description:



A. Brief Intro:

This's not a new lot but is a resubmitted one with updates. This lot was made for the purpose to fill in a starterhouse block to serve as a block community lot around June. Well, I can no longer stand the others of the block. So, only this one was updated for wall-mod free systems... I still like its morph and ideas, so here it comes again. It's mostly furnished with Maxis default.

Now, it comes with 2 versions, one for EP0-1(EP0 = no EP) and one for EP2

Just a few changes:
1. spotlight-lit statues instead of lanterned statues.
2. coloured spotlight-lit statue on the top for EP0-1 while normal spotlight for the same statue on the top for EP2. Don't know which one is better but this's easily switched by users.

B. Copyright Issues:
B1. Feel free to decorate/re-decorate it... (Feel free to remodify and if share, you can only claim credits for what you've done on it.
B2. This lot is banned to be for any direct or indirect commercial usage.)
B3. No permission is necessary for redistribution of this lot with proper instruction like this page unless stated.



C. System specifications (when the lot was made):
C1. hack-free (except RGiles' transparent tiles, and Numenor's transparent windows)
C2. some customised contents used in these lots & some are included and some are not included (check with the Clean Installer; for authors, credits, and links for infos & downloads, please ensure to read part H.)
C3. made without any EP (So, EP what and/or what not required)
C4. Running smooth @ build mode & @ play mode in a system (OS = MS-winxp-sp2; P4 3.0GHz; 1Gb DDR RAM; video card = 8x 128Mb) If any problem, welcome to report your system settings for providing info to other readers.



D. Lot Specifications:
D1. Lot Size: 2 x 3
D2. Lot type: Community
D3. Price: nil



E. Building Specifications:
E1. Major Theme: neo-modern.
E2. Major Colourational Style: white, black, and green .
E3. Major Structural Characteristics: statue demonstration regions, odd-shaped inclined windows, unisex washroom.
E4. Building Motivation: aesthetic usage >= efficiently functional usage



F. File Decompression & Install Tips:
F0. Whether the furnished or the unfurnished version, only 7-zip (.7z) has been used unless specified.
F1. unzip the zip downloaded file with zip-supported compressor or above or else by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F2. you'll find a file with an extension ".7z" or called 7-zip. just decompress/extract it as if it's "rar" or "zip" when WinRAR >=3.41, 7-zip-manager >=3, IZArc >=3.5, power archiver >=9, ZipGenius >=6 or else... by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F3. double click on the sims2pack to open it. To install it with Clean Installer is recommended coz you can choose what to install to avoid unwanted or redundant contents installed into your game system.
F4. Installation of a lot without ensuring the presence of the corresponding terrain paints can be destructive to the lot files.
F5. [No restart of the game] is needed to [install a lot in sims2pack file] and [access the installed lot @ "house bin"]. The trick is by any means to have your neighbourhood screen reload. Say, entering a lot and go back to the neighbourhood screen, or switching to another neighbourhood. After a neighbourhood screen has reloaded, the installed lot will appear in the house bin without the game restart. This is true when the Clean Installer is used.



G. Play-tips:
G1. Whenever geting a new house, you can scan and choose for things in the package with Clean Installer before installation
G2. You can ALWAYS check the playability of the lots to your system @ lot-building mode in the neighbourhood screen before playing them.
G3. Should you need, you can play-test it with the cheat "BoolProp TestingCheatsEnabled (True/false)".
