This lot is beautiful! And it's so romantic and geniously built. I love the stairs leading everywhere I can think of a multitude of purposes for the lot - now I have to go and choose one.

Nice boat Ellatrue, I like your swimable lake

This is one KEWL fun lot.. Like your descriptive writing way too..

The list of custome are this included or do we need to download them. Wasn't sure when you said optional or must..

Thank you for sharing,
Makai

awesome lot, I really like the swimable lake, and your boat

A+ Just for presentation of the post, lol. I tried a swimmable lake once and utterly failed, even with the tutorial, so I am always extra impressed by everyone who manages it. Nice use of it, too, it's really great!

Beautiful lot, Ella.

brilliant! I'm having so much fun with this lot. XD thank you!

WOW! XDD thats really cool! cant download it right now, im at school XDDD

I'm so glad all of you like this- I felt inspired, and it was SO much fun to make...

I've made some other houses for a beach neighborhood that you can see in my profile. They aren't nearly as exciting, but if you are interested, all of it sort of goes together.

Also, don't worry about the rigging- the sims just walk right through it.

makai:

The only content that's included is the invisible floor tile. Everything else you must download yourself.

The lot will still function, even if you don't download the content- it simply won't show up.

However, some of it is more critical than the rest. For example, while not installing the diving board recolors will just make the diving board revert to the default white color, skipping numenor's windows and the recolors for them will make the ship look really screwed up (it's how I made the slanted bottom and the rigging). You need the ladder, or the sims won't be able to climb up and down without a huge amount of work on your part. I'm not sure what happens without the bamboo steps; you may have to place them all yourself (which might be difficult because of all the cheats I used), or they will revert to a random maxis stair--I'm not sure.

So anyway, I marked them as either optional, recommended, or required, so you'd better understand what you really need.

Short answer- if it says REQUIRED, you must download it.

It all came out beautifully in-game! I altered just a little bit to make the kitchen bigger and took out the second bedroom and nursery to make a bigger living room, but everything else was just perfect for my single pirate girl.

The stairs reverted to the maxis stairs. Can't remember the name, but it's the green colored one. It looked just as good to me though!

Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Oooh! Can you link to the tutorial you used?

WOO! Perfect for my dear friend Jack Sparrow...

Hey Ella I need help downloading this lot....(which is AWESOME by the way
I put the rar file or what ever you call it in my downloads but it just won't work!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Ellatrue, i have a problem. when my sim get in the lake, he isn´t able to get out. he is stuck in there! can you help me?

can you take a picture? have you changed the water level?

I didn't have any problems when testing it myself, except sometimes the sims wouldn't get out when I wanted them to because they insisted on swimming and I had to wait for them to get bored. But I don't think that's related, somehow.

I love it! Its hard getting a view of the sim in the lake, because it is hard to get a close up because of the hills around the water.

Ella, I don't think you get nearly as much thanks as you deserve for all your wonderful (EP free!) creations. AND you just used pirate language for a whole post! You definatly deserve a featured upload and you have my thanks for this lot (and every other I've downloaded from you!)

:P

Yar! Prepare to be boarded!
I thank ye! :p

How did you make it swimmable?

For any questions about how I made it swimmable, please refer to the tutorial link in the original post. It's just below the second picture.

I just downloaded the perfect Jack Sparrow, and now he has the perfect place to live! Kudos and thanks for your great download!

You've made this by extracting ideas from my dreams. Absolute love. n_n

Aye, mate....that's a right fine place for any pirate worth their salt.

Yours in Piratical Simhood,
Vampire Hunter Amanda
