Fantastique!! I'm very happy to see some french typical houses!! Though I'm french, I'd never seen Bearn house before, but my sims will play with it.
The house is great. M**** pour le concours!!

Default A Slight Problem with the Kitchen Chairs - Fixed!
Thank you! I was happy to do this house, it was a great learning experience for me. If not for Mihura suggesting this project and finding this house for me, it would not have happened. So a lot of credit goes to her.

The following problem has been fixed in the version that is now online...

Because this house uses completely new furnishings, it is slightly different from the house that was play tested. In play testing, I found that the kitchen chairs and tables had to be eased over slightly in the direction of the circular staircase so that the Sim eating in the chair closest to the stove did not become temporarily trapped. Press Control-Shift-C and then type boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false to allow the chairs and tables to be moved over slightly.

I had adjusted the position of the table and chairs in the release version, but with no Sims to test them, I guess I did not move them quite far enough. Note that the chair with its back closest to the circular stairs will still be on the kitchen floor, rather than on the wood floor of the living room.

Its really beautiful and makes a good contrast to all the other farms that are also amazing but rather American.

Thank you very much for sharing

Thank you Jon! It did me good to learn a bit about a foreign culture. The interior smallness of this house did remind me a bit of my English childhood, but there are many differences too.

Thank you Patul! It is nice to see that we ended up with a few French houses in this creator challenge - enough to start a neighbourhood.

Oops, make that six. I have got to stay away from puppies. My Sims are getting a lot of use out of this lot though, I use it all the time.

First you need to unzip the archive and copy all the package files to a Downloads folder. Then double click on the LotSegment file so that Clean Installer or the Maxis installer will install the lot in your house bin. When you are running the game the house should appear in the house bin so that it can be placed somewhere in your neighbourhood. I hope that helps, lottesims2.
