North Dakota Farmhouse
I haven't been able to find out much about the home, other that what I can see in the various pictures I have found of the house online. Looking at the home in aerial view makes me sad as you can see that its not the only beautiful old farmhouse being taken by the water. It would seem that its quite a common sight across that part of North Dakota. There's hundred of homes just like it; abandoned for other reasons, just sitting, awaiting their reclamation by Mother Nature. In researching the home I stumbled across a hauntingly beautiful website called Ghosts Of North Dakota which tells the story of town-upon-town of abandoned structures that can be found across the ever beautiful and rural state of North Dakota.
But here I have attempted to create the home in its hey-day; not long after it would have been built. I have built it on a 30 by 30 lot costing 133,821 Simoleons furnished and 74,586 Simoleons unfurnished. The lot is made from basegame content and all the fireplaces have been upgraded to fireproof.
I should very much like to thank tsyokawe for taking the exterior pictures for me, and also shmovese, lulume, Crowkeeper, Johnny_Bravo and SimmyRN for their help and advise over at the Creator Feedback Forum; this house wouldn't be looking as good as it does without you.

2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.

About Me
P.S. It would be very interesting to see pics of what you've done with the lots I have created, and the kinds of sims you've got living there, Or if they've been used in stories. But most importantly... Have Fun!!!
