Elegante Castata

This is a very large lot containing a manor house with more than 20 rooms, many suitable for subdivision into smaller rooms. The only entry into the estate is flanked by two guard houses for the affluent Sim who can afford to hire their own security. The main house is divided into two parts. The central front portion of the house and main entryway to the estate consists of two and a half stories. On the first floor is an entry foyer with a moderately sized room to either side. Each of these rooms feature a fireplace and large windows looking out toward the front of the estate and the twin trellised rose gardens, accessible from the twin patios at the front of the estate (one furnished, one not). Neither of these rooms has yet been furnished. The second floor of this portion of the house is divided into three rooms. The central room is a full kitchen/dining room. To one side of the kitchen is a bedroom, with fireplace, and to the other is a recreation room, also with a fireplace. The half-story third floor serves as a bathroom for this suite and as access to the deck/patio that completely surrounds this partial third floor (It has just dawned on me that I do not believe I included a toilet in this bathroom… my oversight! Heheh). This deck/patio is also connected by a walkway to the deck/patio at either side of the rear portion of the house which I like to call “the wings”.

Back at ground level, the front portion of the house has a large deck/patio overlooking the large fenced swimming pool and landscaping. The rear of the house is accessed by passing through this area or via the aforementioned third floor walkways, but there is no enclosed connection between the two parts. This rear portion of the estate features a large “U” shaped section which embraces the interior courtyard, pool and front deck/patio. Each “wing” of the structure is capped with its own ground-level deck/patio leading to a stone patio on either side. Additionally, a lighted gravel path leads from the main entrance of the back portion of the estate to the respective patio areas. Two of the first floor rooms in this section are already decorated, one as a “party room” and the other as an “art gallery”. This floor also contains two full bathrooms (shower, not tub) mirroring each other on opposite wings of the building. The second and third floors have a total of four complete bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. There is LOTS of space for creating your own large areas or for dividing into smaller rooms. None of the rooms / bedrooms is decorated for children at this time, though there is plenty of room for a large indoor play area and more bedrooms for children.

The entire estate is surrounded by decorative wrought iron fencing, and at the front, on either side of the entry guard houses (which are topped by an observation platform) are two large lily ponds, accessible from the patios via a path through the rose gardens. These ponds are lined by old growth weeping willows, giving the estate an elegant privacy.

NOTE: This lot contains objects that require the CEP Recolor package and may contain other “hack” items. Any and all hacks/mods that may be contained in this package, however, have come from www.modthesims2.com and nowhere else.


I hope that you enjoy this lot as much as I enjoyed making it! :D
