Lakeside Lifestyle

After a long day fishing on the lake who wouldn't want to retreat to this rustic alpine lodge? Traditionally designed and styled, it has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.



This house is based on a Michigan house featured in Elegant Homes Magazine, Fall 2005 (pictures included).




An outdoor shower and mudroom allow for easy clean up after a day on the lake. Craftsman-style details and a bright, cheerful interior make this house a stylish addition to your neighborhood.



This house is built on a hill to replicate lakeside terrain and in accordance to the floor plan pictured below. I have tried to balance realism with Sims 3 functionality in this lot to capture the aesthetic of the lake house while attempting to make the lot look natural in a Sims neighborhood. In order to decrease the slope that would be required at the back of the house if the front was flat, I decided to raise the front part of the lot to compensate. That's why the front lawn isn't flat. The resulting slope on the back lawn has been disguised with landscaping to the extent I felt appropriate.



Fully furnished. I apologize for the crappy reference photos, I had to take them with my phone's camera... This house uses custom content and some objects from expansion packs but they are not vital. I do recommend you get the country windows though. All CC is found below. Happy Fishing!

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.
