Moi's Quatrea

Lot Name: Quatrea

Description:


A. Brief Intro:
In Islet Arksa, the famous university Quatrouxa has a luxurious type of dormy buildings called Quatrea for private rental, city-funded housing or even purchase...! Most graduate Arksaists want to get one for reminding their best years of their youth...! Now, the university is raising more funds for its future development, and so they're seelling some new Quatreas out for a not-so-bad price to the outside places... No transpoartation fee and the delivery is through the fast teleportation. So, what're you witing for... grab your chance before they're all sold out... Missing it will break your sims' heaerts...

Note:
1. not suggestable to add a swim-pool through the swim-pool tool unless your PC can afford 16 floor layout...
The building itself has 8 levels, but the lot template is 15-level-enabled, and swim-pools made by pool tool will make it 16 floor and those PCs which can't afford the highest floor number is 16 will crash the game.. If you want a swim-pool so badly, build a "fake-pool" instead. There're some animated pool-wallpapers and tiles coming out to further make the "fake pool" look closer to the swim-pool by swim-pool tool.
2.the floor file Moi_flr_lan_001f_001_2x2_r3_floor_b1b19677 borrows texture from the provided file Moi_flr_lan_001f_001_1x1_r3_floor_518af79d in the folder of the file pack.

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.


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)".
