Many moons ago I came across a reproduction of a plan for a Victorian 'Gentleman's House' by the architect Robert Kerr. And obviously, whenever I see a floor plan I'm driven to re-create it for the Sims!
Now, I had to make some fairly major changes to it. Most of the basement had to go (in the original it covers the whole lot), mainly since I struggle to see the use of a coal or wine cellar for the Sims. I also cut out a whole floor of bedrooms, and moved the door to the left since otherwise I couldn't fit the library in. Robert Kerr certainly wouldn't approve; "The Entrance-door opens in the middle of the Front, and is not pushed away to one side in the ordinarily unstately manner." I've also got rid of some of the corridors
I also recently realised that the 'lift' in the plan is probably meant to be a service lift or dumb waiter, and I suppose you could remove it and put a spiral staircase in as a 'backstairs' in the void.
The house plays OK. The only annoyance is that their is no direct access from the third to the fourth floor. As I said, you could delete the lift and replace it with a spiral staircase.
Anyway, you might look at this house and think 'But my Sims don't need a Butler's Pantry! And why is the kitchen in the basement?'. Well, you'd be correct, and I'll upload a 'modernised' version that has a more practical layout, but I felt I should put up one more in keeping with Kerr's vision.
Anyway, you can read more about the plan here, along with a reproduction of the floor-plan in question:

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
