At one time -- back in Summer 2005 when I only had the Uni EP, I built the Weasley's house. Unfortunately, I built it on a lot that didn't start out being level, which I found out later is a very bad thing for people who place lots in neighborhoods like Veronaville, as non-level lots seem to permanently alter the terrain. In shallow neighborhoods, this can cause really bad flooding everywhere. So, I decided to remove most of my lots on the exchange and was going to rebuild someday. Until now, I haven't had the motivation to rebuild this one, but I can't help but get excited about the new Apartment Life expansion pack that's coming out in less than a month. I think it's really cool that finally there will be at least a little more magic stuff in the game. With this in mind, I thought this would be the perfect time to dust off and rebuild The Weasley Burrow.
The Weasley Burrow is 5 stories high, and has 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The cost is §155,244, although I don't think the Weasley's paid that much, as it looks like most of the building materials were salvaged from abandoned homes and buildings. In defiance of physical laws, The Burrow must be held together mostly by magic. With "stealth stairs" throughout the house, your Weasley sims (except lucky Percy) will have to endure having little privacy, as just about every bedroom is the pathway to the next level up.
Of course, after I rebuilt the original Weasley Burrow because of the non-level edges issue I mentioned, I discovered that with LotAdjuster the edges could be fixed. This is called Murphy's Law, but that's OK. So, I loaded The Basegame + University on my hubby's computer, fiddled with LotAjuster, and yada, yada, yada... the lot is now flat. The floor plan is the same is the original, and the price is about §100K. Please read: I don't think that the modified original (Uni) lot will cause any issues, however, please report any problems that you think may be related to my use of the LotAdjuster in this thread.
For pictures or a .zip file of the original lot, see my blog here.
For a .zip file of the All EP's version of the lot, see my blog here.
Recommended File for All EP's version: If you happen to recover your enchanted car from the Forbidden Forest, you will probably want an invisible driveway recolor which unfortunately didn't package itself with the lot. If you don't already have such a recolor in your Downloads folder, roddyaleixo has some you can get here.
Requirements note for All EP's version: I used all EP's up to FreeTime. I also have Family Fun and Celebration SP's installed, although those may not required, especially if you install the house with Clean Installer. I don't usually include items from the Stuff Packs in my uploads, however I did with this particular lot.
Lot Size: 3x5

- 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.

About Me
I no longer take requests.
Feel free to use my lots in any stories or movies you make. You may use my recolors, walls, floors, etc. that I have made in any lots that are uploaded here or to other free sites. Giving credit is always thoughtful on your part, and appreciated by me. I ask that you don't re-upload my lots anywhere, or claim them as your own.
Keep in mind that if you download a lot and it doesn't work: (a) make sure you have the required EPs and SPs, and (b) try to download again because sometimes downloads get errors in the downloading process and can't be extracted for that reason.
Flooding sometimes occurs when you place a lot with a basement in a very flat neighborhood. Just like in real life, you need to place the lot on higher ground to avoid having the basement filled with water.
My Schools
My school lots are houses. I can do nothing to make them work like schools for you because the game just doesn't see them as schools. Even if you change them to community lots, they will still not be schools. This is not my fault - blame Maxis/EA. If you want to play one of my lots as a school, leave it as a residential lot and use Inge's hacks from Simlogical here:

P.S. I am sorry, but I'm not Inge, and I don't offer support on running a school. Please politely ask questions at the forums on Simlogical for support on using her awesome school hacks.
