Lot Name: Balloon Home (furnished & remodifiable)
Description:
A. Brief Intro:
Tired of where you live now? Want to live in somewherelse before the next carpool panic? Now, a new alternative has finally come... Buy this balloon house to travel around before you're harassed by the clock... Go wherever you go! Let's sing, "I'll fly with you".......
Notes: Fuels not included.... No repair service available... No insurance service for this type of house........ (this part is solely 4 funs... :D )
Note:
1. Lol, I wish I knew I could have completely 5 levels or even more at that time when I first made this.
2. Balloon Home_remodifiable_r - a version for user's modifications: you can change the windows, all the tiles but not the their positional patterns, the interior structure with some common basic build-skills.
2a. "shift"-"left-mouse-click" to switch a whole set of tiles. (Some by means of removing a budding/trail fence, replace it after the tile switch.)
2b. "delete or add the fences on plain grids (that's why you see some extended plain tiles outside the balloon home.)
2c. For further questions, post below...
3. The furnished version is deleted, as I play it longer I start to dislike the fence, so I'll make a default wall one...("update")
B. Copyright Issues:
B1. Feel free to decorate/re-decorate it... (Feel free to remodify and if share, you can only claim credits for what you've done on it.
B2. This lot is banned to be for any direct or indirect commercial usage.)
B3. No permission is necessary for redistribution of this lot with proper instruction like this page unless stated.
C. System specifications (when the lot was made):
C1. hack-free (except RGiles' transparent tiles, and Numenor's transparent windows)
C2. some customised contents (check with the Clean Installer; for authors, credits, and links for infos & downloads, please read part H.)
C3. made without any EP (So, EP what and/or what not required)
C4. Running smooth @ build mode & @ play mode in a system (OS = MS-winxp-sp2; P4 3.0GHz; 1Gb DDR RAM; video card = 8x 128Mb) If any problem, welcome to report your system settings for providing info to other readers.

E3. Major Structural Characteristics: Balloon House
E4. Building Motivation: aesthetic usage >>= efficiently functional usage
F. File Decompression & Install Tips:
F0. Whether the furnished or the unfurnished version, only 7-zip (.7z) has been used unless specified.
F1. unzip the zip downloaded file with zip-supported compressor or above or else by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F2. you'll find a file with an extension ".7z" or called 7-zip. just decompress/extract it as if it's "rar" or "zip" when WinRAR >=3.41, 7-zip-manager >=3, IZArc >=3.5, power archiver >=9, ZipGenius >=6 or else... by right-clicking and "extract...(whichever way)"
F3. double click on the sims2pack to open it. To install it with Clean Installer is recommended coz you can choose what to install to avoid unwanted or redundant contents installed into your game system.
F4. Installation of a lot without ensuring the presence of the corresponding terrain paints can be destructive to the lot files.
F5. [No restart of the game] is needed to [install a lot in sims2pack file] and [access the installed lot @ "house bin"]. The trick is by any means to have your neighbourhood screen reload. Say, entering a lot and go back to the neighbourhood screen, or switching to another neighbourhood. After a neighbourhood screen has reloaded, the installed lot will appear in the house bin without the game restart. This is true when the Clean Installer is used.
F6. Floor tiles, wallpapers, terrain paints have to be installed earlier than or at the same time as the lot is installed for them to show up in a lot.
G. Play-tips:
G1. Whenever geting a new house, you can scan and choose for things in the package with Clean Installer before installation
G2. You can ALWAYS check the playability of the lots to your system @ lot-building mode in the neighbourhood screen before playing them.
G3. Should you need, you can play-test it with the cheat "BoolProp TestingCheatsEnabled (True/false)".
