im having a problem with the house:

when i go into it, the lot loads forever

my personal life can be supported by veiwing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2z-Q6x6eU and others on my youtube page. I believe there's a few building tutorials there aswell. I create rather sporadically, so excuse me if I'm gone from this website for months or years at a time.

I'm not sure what to tell you, other than to not remove CC in Clean Installer, rather doing it in-game, or try re-downloading? I've had lots do that to me as well, but it usually was because it included content from an expansion I did not have. =/

I tried downloading this house and got a message stating the file was corrupt. I have the expansion packs up to Open for Business. What's wrong?

Not sure? My experience involving corrupt files had more to do with the WinRAR archiver being buggy and not the actual file. All I can recommend is that you either re-download WinRAR to prevent future problems (if it is indeed WinRAR that is causing them) or try re-downloading the file. I haven't received any messages about the file being corrupt yet, so hopefully its something that can be corrected for you.

This mansion looks AMAZING! I was so excited to download it but was extremely disappointed when there was an error with extracting the file to my Downloads folder and it couldn't extract it at all because it was "corrupt". This keeps happening with certain files and I don't know why!

Very nice house, I love it but when I try to instlal it the roof and some of the wallpaper doesn't show up. All the other CC seems ok, but the roof is not green and it's missing the wallpaper that goes on the corners outside the house.

Try re-downloading, and don't remove anything with Clean Installer.

This house is beautiful but I'd prefer if it was furnised.

This is good, but next time, could you include a little less custom content?

I relish in the content I find, and enjoy exposing others to it. No offense, but if you prefer to avoid custom content, either remove manually or through TS2 or...don't download. BUT I suppose I may be able to bring it down just a bit.

i truly love this house and think you did an amazing job with it. that said...

question; i find that my attic windows dont show thru the roof and moveobjects on doesn't change that. i dont want to dismantle the roof and ruin everything just to have windows. also the door up in the attic isn't functional either. i wonder if there is something i should know in order for the house to be playable

I've had the same problem, and 99% of the time if I remove the item, then put it back, save & exit the lot, and then return, it shows correctly. For ME anyway, your system may not register. =/

I've been having the same problem that a couple others have mentioned, I downloaded it, and in the neighborhood view, the house shows up normally. But when I enter the lot, no custom content shows up. Now, I deleted the house and reinstalled, then the custom windows came into existence, but everything else was still missing, including the roof texture, it just shows up as standard Maxis dark grey. And it's not that the content just isn't getting put on the house, it fails to install all together. Is there any way you could - I don't know - put all the CC in a separate download, or give specific links to the CC, or something? I love this house, and I really want it to work.

Thanks,

Ben
