Here's a house for your Victorian Sims, based loosely on "The Breakers", a Newport mansion owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt in the late 1800s. The original Breakers burned down, which I hope doesn't bode ill for Newford. Be careful with those fireplaces!
It is furnished with Maxis-only stuff so unfortunately some necessary items like the smoke alarm and telephone are a bit out of place. Feel free to replace them with era-appropriate objects if you wish. (I recommend Maylin's 1910 phone and lethe_s's medieval fire alarm.)
Newford is rather large, so if your computer tends to choke on big lots, you might want to avoid this one. I left half of the second floor unfurnished to keep the house less costly and object-intensive, so you can think of it as an unused attic, or fill it up with whatever you wish.
GAMEPLAY NOTES:
I put the nursery next to the kitchen and bathroom for easy access to the fridge and toilet, but you could also convert it into a room for a live-in maid or butler. (Easy live-in maid/butler creation: make a Knowledge Sim and give them a Neatness of 10. Move them into your mansion and direct them to cook and clean all day -- they'll be happy as a lark!)
Also, the fridge, trash compactor, and juicer are in the Pantry; this is to keep the very modern appliances out of the way so the kitchen has a more authentic Victorian-era feel.
Have fun!

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
