New Castle : Long live the King!

A friend asked me after seeing my creations on this site; "How big can you build in the sims2 ?"
My reply was; "I dunno, but i know about a wall-limit, maxis build in the game."
So after some chit chat, he asked me to build a castle just to see if i would hit the wall-limit, but i didn't.

This castle is made on a huge residential lot, and uses a big lay-out. The trouble with this castle is, that there is no room for ground elevation. I would have liked for it to be on a somewhat higher ground, but it was practicaly impossible with the current lay-out.

Also the 3 left towers have roofs that are slightly smaller than the others, i dunno why this happens, but i can't get them all at the same size???

Also it was never my intention to use this castle for my sims to live in, i made it more as a test, but after building this, it would be stuppid not to update it.
So i plan in the near future to make a fully furnished version and post it here also.

It comes unfurnished and absolutely free of custom content or hacks.
You will need all the expansions for it to work, but if it works without one of the expansions, please let me know.

Lotsize : 6x6 (the biggest)

Type : Residential

Price : 235,804 §

Furnished : No

Custom content : No (amazing what can be done with maxis buildtools)

Driveway or garage : No, not even space for it

Time to build this : Let's just say, press the "thank you" button and it will all make up for that.

This castle is huge and may not be ideal for min specs, on my newer system it works perfect, but on my older comp it took some time to load (about 3 mins) but it worked perfectly. Systemspecs older comp : Intel Pentium 4 - 2GH, 384 mb dram, 64 mb nvidea geforce2 mx/mx 400 card (keeps amazing me, pob. the best card ive bought price/quality), windows xp professional.
When the game came out i was impressed to see it work pretty good on that machine, but even more now to see this happen with this lot.

Some feedback and comments on this project are welcome!

Do not upload this on exchange!
Do not post this on another site!
Do not try to impress your girlfriend with this castle by saying you build it, she might be angry for spending so much time with a game and not with her!
(Tip! flowers do help) :D


Have fun!
