1920's Vintage Home Design ~ 1-click Foundation French Revival, 43rd in the Series

The forty-third house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is the only French Revival plan in this collection. It is named the "Cariola," and features three bedrooms, one and a half baths, a large living room, formal dining room, arched side porch, an upgraded kitchen package, full basement, and a brick circle drive.

I love the floor plan of this house - it has a lot of nooks and crannies, and places to get lost in, or turned around. (I also like that it has a powder room right by the front entrance!) ...the private deck off the Master bedroom is a nice extra too. :lovestruc I will definitely be moving a family in here when this building/uploading jag is finally over (I can see the light at the end of this tunnel, and I'm pretty sure it's not a train - LOL!) Anywho... I plan to use this house, so I decorated it with my family in mind. The little boy is gonna love his new bedroom! I hope your sims will enjoy it too.

I don't usually use sets from TSR in lots I plan to upload - but, MsB's Old World set just fit this house too perfectly not to use it. It is all free (of course, everything at TSR is, now days ) and all in the same set - so there's only 1 thing to download. Sorry to do that to you, but it's worth it - I promise!

Also - 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, 2 closets, and a dining set. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is located in the Front Hall, as the original plans have it. The front door is burglar alarmed. The range and both fireplaces 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 fireplaces - one in the living room, and one in the upstairs Master bedroom.

There is parking for 3 vehicles on the circle-driveway in front of the house.

Custom Content Included:
- Chic Stairs made Recolorable by HugeLunatic (HL) @ MTS2 - no script file needed as these override the original stairs.

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: 3x2
Lot Price (furnished): $55,291
