1920's Vintage Home Design ~ 1-click Foundation Spanish Colonial, 41th in the Series

The forty-first house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is a Spanish Colonial (named Cardiff? Yeah, well, I didn't come up with the names *shrug*) It has "6 Rooms and [a] Bath" - and it's design is "Simple yet effective..." according to the brochure. All the rooms are quite spacious - each of the three bedrooms has a full closet (the Master's closet was swapped for an armoire, but you could easily change it for a closet if you'd rather.) I built this on a larger lot thinking that if a family with kids lived here, they might like room to add a pool, or maybe a gardener would like to beautify the lawns? At any rate, I hope your sims will be happy living here. As you can see in the pictures - it has the Big Dog seal of approval

This lot has been adjusted with Mootilda's GridAdjuster to have a cute little 1-click foundation.
AND it has a basement (a regular dug-out basement, not a no-slope/page-down-to-the-Nether basement.)
It is also Big Dog approved (Thanks to Shasta and Huge Lunatic.)


Please scroll through all the above pictures to see everything this house has to offer. Furniture includes a double bed, nightstand with an alarm clock, two closets, an armoire, a loveseat, ficus plant, and a dining set. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is located in the living room. The front door is burglar alarmed. The range and fireplace have smoke alarms.


This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer. Pictures were taken with Invisible Fire Alarms in place, but the lot is packaged without that mod. So, you will see the fire alarm over the range in the kitchen and over the fireplace in the living room.

There is parking for 1 vehicle in the garage, the garage is not connected to the road (because the driveway is short) so there are no arrival/departure animations for cars. Cars will teleport from the garage to the road and back again.

Standard mods I use that are not necessary nor included - but were probably used whilst building/photo-ing/prepping this house for upload...
If you need help installing Numenor's Unlevel Wall #90, click this info button:
I use Niol/Moi's Roof Shader for brighter roofs
And, HW/Honeywell's A Little Greyer: Roof Trim Defaults
Then, if it's a Bespoke Roof recolor - it will be THESE adjusted versions by The Llama Park/Tumblr that you see used in the pictures.
(However, what you get in the packaged file, will either be the plain EA roof or the straight, un-modified Bespoke roof from the set here on MTS2.)
Maranatah's White Wall Top texture replacement
Moo's Turn On/Off Lights
Menaceman's Lunatech Lighting Fix
BeosBoxBoy's no-red-pause-mod
Nopke's Go Under Spiral Stairs mod for proper spiral stair usage
And, of course, everyone needs Numenor's CEP and SEP!
I also use FRAPs to take in-game pictures, and PhotoShop to clean/collage said pictures.
And, I highly recommend using gummilutt's Invisible Medicine Cabinet to add features to any mirror - as per her policy, it's not used or included in this lot.


Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price (furnished): $50,892
