Moi's Downtown_bild002 Riflehtre

Lot Name: Downtown_bild002 Riflehtre


Description:


A. Brief Intro:

The day Niol got NL installed and played has him fallen into Maxis' trap that he's decided to demonlish almost every lot in the downtown area and planned to make his own new ones...!
Here comes the the second non-residential one... This is categorised as a community lot, yet I build it mainly for the neighbourhood scenery. However, one can still use it as a normal lot. It's only 8 level high on a 2x3 lot, so it may be playable still. Welcome to report or show how you may use it...:)
I've been wondering what a mirror-window can look like for a downtown building in TS2, and now this's is an example.

Note
1. This lot was built under the base game, and it hasn't any custom contents or original features not compatible to EP02NL. Thus, it should work in all the game versions. ;)
2. Build-furnished but not functionally furnished.


B. Copyright Issues:
B1. Feel free to decorate/re-decorate it... (Feel free to remodify and if share, you can only claim credits for what you've done on it. )
B2. This lot is banned to be for any direct or indirect commercial or trading usage.
B3. No permission is necessary for redistribution of this lot with proper instruction like this page unless stated.


C. System specifications (when the lot was made):
C1. hack-free
C2. some customised contents (check with the Clean Installer; for authors, credits, and links for infos & downloads, please read part H.)
C3. made without any EP (So, EP what and/or what not required)
C4. Running smooth @ build mode & @ play mode in a system (OS = MS-winxp-sp2; P4 3.0GHz; 1Gb DDR RAM; video card = 8x 128Mb) If any problem, welcome to report your system settings for providing info to other readers.

F. File Decompression & Install Tips:
F0. Whether the furnished or the unfurnished version, only 7-zip (.7z) has been used unless specified.
F1. unzip the zip downloaded file with zip-supported compressor or above or else by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F2. you'll find a file with an extension ".7z" or called 7-zip. just decompress/extract it as if it's "rar" or "zip" when WinRAR >=3.41, 7-zip-manager >=3, IZArc >=3.5, power archiver >=9, ZipGenius >=6 or else... by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F3. double click on the sims2pack to open it. To install it with Clean Installer is recommended coz you can choose what to install to avoid unwanted or redundant contents installed into your game system.
F4. Installation of a lot without ensuring the presence of the corresponding terrain paints can be destructive to the lot files.
F5. [No restart of the game] is needed to [install a lot in sims2pack file] and [access the installed lot @ "house bin"]. The trick is by any means to have your neighbourhood screen reload. Say, entering a lot and go back to the neighbourhood screen, or switching to another neighbourhood. After a neighbourhood screen has reloaded, the installed lot will appear in the house bin without the game restart. This is true when the Clean Installer is used.
F6. Floor tiles, wallpapers, terrain paints have to be installed earlier than or at the same time as the lot is installed for them to show up in a lot.
F7. 7-zip, rar and zip are all supported under Wins, Macs and Linuxes. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

G. Play-tips:
G1. Whenever geting a new house, you can scan and choose for things in the package with Clean Installer before installation
G2. You can ALWAYS check the playability of the lots to your system @ lot-building mode in the neighbourhood screen before playing them.
G3. Should you need, you can play-test it with the cheat "BoolProp TestingCheatsEnabled (True/false)".
