Circinae Manor --no cc--
Like the Duke and Duchess themselves, the manor blends a savvy elegance with practical, rustic sensibilities.
They aren't afraid of formal dinners, getting their hands dirty, or vibrant interior decorating.
There's a separate living space above the garage, technically it's a studio, but it's so full of irrepressible joy it feels spacious.
And the little cottage in the back is for the gardener.
The children have taken over the North wing and made it their own.
They're dog people, by the way. And there might be just a little something more...
Notes
--No custom content included or required
--A word about centerpieces: this lot makes centerpieces work without mods, by having two tables in the exact same spot. You can't see the difference, but sims eat off one while happily ignoring the table with a centerpiece on it. If you have the mod that makes centerpieces work, you will want to pick up the extra table and delete it. Otherwise sims will put two plates down in the same exact spot and then stomp their foot because they can't sit in their family member's lap to eat it.
--Moveobjects was used and some things aren't snapped to grid, but the furniture works. Except for the mirrors on the balconies and the diagonal dresser in the upstairs hallway. Although, only three people can use the bubble blower unless you tell someone to "go here" behind it and use the back seat before the others sit down
--There are burglar alarms behind fridges
--There's a phone on each of the three main floors of the manor, and one in the cottage and one in the studio above the garage.
--There are fire alarms hidden in the fireplaces and sprinklers hiding above various fire hazards as well
--Constrainfloorelevation false was used for the foundations
A copy of the lot was play tested, but please message me if you run into any problems
Reccomended Mods
Rugs - zMOG!! Off Grid!! by HugeLunatic --You don't need it, but it's awesome, and if you don't have it some of the rugs will look funky until you pick them up and put them on grid
Water Inaccesible Flowers by dickhurt --If you don't want it you could of course just delete any problem flowers you run across.
Trim Inaccessible Bushes by Cyjon --Likewise for bushes

About Me
I always build CC-free because if I don't have a limited number of options I will never, ever be satisfied and I will spend days and days looking for one counter that fits this kitchen perfectly--and I finally found it--but I had to edit the texture a bit because it didn't tile perfectly, but it's finally done--Oh wait, I changed the wallpaper so now I need to scour the entire internet for counters all over again, and--and I will literally never finish anything. So I've limited myself. But at least CC-free is convenient for downloading. Hope you enjoy them!
Feel free to message me with questions or constructive criticism regarding my uploads.
-- Policy --
-Do not upload my work to other sites.
-Feel free to use my lots in the background for movies or pictures or whatever.
-If you make SIGNIFICANT changes to a lot you may upload it, just not to pay sites.
-For either of the above make sure to give credit and link back to me.
And please use good judgement on the definition of significant. Redecorating one room is not significant. Redecorating the whole house in a different style or for a different purpose is. Adding one room is not significant. Adding a whole other wing or building and updating the landscaping is. That being said if you do use my lot as a jumping off point, by all means message me a link when you upload it because I'd love to see what you come up with.
Weird little sidenote: I often edit lots I download to have different size footprints to fit in with my neighborhood. It can often involve doing tedious things like making a whole building three tiles narrower so that it will fit inside 20 squares, and then a million little changes are necessary to keep the lot functioning and looking good. I don't know if anyone else ever does that, however if you do but then find the result isn't really "significant" enough to be it's own post (4x5 => 4x4 probably not significant, 4x5 => 2x2 significant unless all you did was get rid of the yard) you might want to message me, because I'd be interested in adding yours as an alternate version to download on my original post (with credit and a link to your profile)
