**Requested by Starzndice** Massive house with 4-car garage

This house was requested by Starzndice.

**WARNING** This is an extremely large house with a large amount of custom content. If you decide to download this house, be prepared for slower loading times and slower playing times. At least, that's what it did to my computer, so unless you have a fantastic computer with large amounts of memory and an impressive graphics card, I would suggest that you don't download this house. Unless of course, you have large amounts of patience for loading times

The request asked for the following rooms:
~ six regular bedrooms, each with attached bathrooms
~ a master bedroom, with two attached bathrooms
~ a main visiting area
~ a recreation area
~ 4-car garage
~ a huge living room area
~ indoor and outdoor pools
~ a pond
~ a dance hall (big enough for DJ booth, karaoke, etc)
~ a rooftop area
~ basically plenty of room for all the cool stuff in the game (bowling alleys, bars, etc)
~ basically: a beautiful home with all the amenities for an eight or more family of sims

In addition, the following rooms have been added:
~ kitchen
~ dining
~ extra bathroom near the main visiting area
~ outdoor entertainment area
~ back porch
~ balconies on three levels

In order for all the furnishings and windows/doors to work correctly, you need to download the following:
~ Windows from S2L: Click on 'Objects' under the 'Build' heading, hit 'I agree', select 'Build' picture from 'New Objects meshes'. Finally, the windows are on page 3, Mesh D.
~ Doors from S2L: Follow the same steps as above, although the doors are on page 1, Mesh E.
~ Reva furniture from S2L: Follow the steps above, although instead of selecting the 'Build' picture, select the 'Living Room' picture. The Reva furniture is on page 4, and you only need the sofas meshes.

This house has been created on a 5x5 lot, contains three full floors, a basement and a rooftop area, and has a total furnished price of 383,709 simoleons!

The outdoor pool has been created as a swimmable lake (I used the tutorial by tdkjunkie, thanks for a wonderful tute!), due to the request for a tree in the middle of it. There are some known glitches with this swimmable lake.
Firstly, when your sim is diving into the lake, they will actually fall through the board before diving in. This is common and won't affect the gameplay nor the swimming.


Secondly, if you don't tell your sim to get out of the pool before they need/are told to do something (eat, use the toilet, etc), they will actually 'swim' through the land and house. To prevent this, make sure you always click on the ladder and tell them to 'get out'.


Thirdly, as the lake has been created using a terrain paint, you won't actually be able to see your sim's body through the water. Once again, this is common and won't affect the gameplay.


Finally, when you do tell your sim to 'get out' of the lake, there is a minor glitch with the graphics for using the ladder. The sim sort of 'jumps' up to the ladder, since it actually 'floats' above the lake. There is no actual affect on gameplay here either, and your sim gets out quite happily.


These are the only glitches that I found with this house, so if you find any others, please let me know and I'll attempt to fix it for you!
