Perhaps a Residence in the Provence, France ***unsupported since sims 3***

Perhaps a Residence in the Provence, France.

This is not the first house I made , it is my first house I intended to share on MTS 2.
The idea of building a nice villa for my Sims from an existing houseplan also came from this site, I bumped on that advise while i was reading a few building support threads.

Several years ago I used to go on summer holidays to the south of France and I fell in love with that part of Europe. The smell, the views, the way of living, the food and above all the climate warms my Dutch hart.

Since I downloaded “La Cote” from this site as a neighbourhood area, I am having a summer vacation every day while I am creating beach houses, small country houses, and a Mediterranian shopping centre. Of course i placed quite a lot of the beautiful south European houses and castles which I also found here in the featured section. (beside a Sim addict i became a download addict too). But I have a good excuse, I need to, in order to make my holiday resort as realistic as possible.

This 2 story French villa is made for the wealthy Sims among us, it costs in furnished state as shown on the pictures, 348.557 Simmolians and is built on a 4x5 lot. It is made with base game an EP1-2-3

I want to thank all the modders and creators who made it possible for me to live my life to the full with decorating and building in the Sims 2.
I took Loverats credit list from this site that came with her wonderful Mother’s Day gift, as an example. I think it is the only right way to give proper credit to where it belongs.
So here it comes.

Since I couldn’t get permission from Simaddict99 due the site policy of TSR, a shopping list in order to show up the following items.
Shopping list:
Simaddict99 www.thesimsresource.com
Climbing plants.

In the beginning I planned to offer this house furnished as well.
But considering that there are a huge amount of downloaded objects and recolors in it and I am not sure if it all can be shared on the net, I decided to leave them all out.

It is up to your own fantasy how to decorate this French daydream.
