FRIENDS set! All the characters apartments + Central Perk!

Hello! Here you have the "movie sets" from the TV-show FRIENDS in one big lot all together, including the four different apartments and the coffee place Central Perk. (Though I'm not very good at making Sims so if anyone uploads nice-looking Sims of the FRIENDS cast, please let me know!)


SIZE: Huge (biggest lot)
COST: About half a million Simoleons
EXPANSION PACKS: I've marked this thread with the expansion packs I had when I made this house (University, Nightlife, Open For Business & Glamour Life Stuff). I thought I'd add that I've used stuff from all these expansions in the house, though very little from both OFB and Glamour - so I guess you could download the house even without those and it won't be a catastrophy in the game. (Assuming it works like it did in TS1 and those particular things just doesn't show up).


My intentions from the beginning was to build this mansion and keep it with all Maxis stuff, both since I'm not that interested in recoloring things, and because I myself think it's a bit tedious to have to run around in different sites to get all the things you need for one download.

Now, the first thing I have to say is that I actually used one thing that wasn't Maxis because I couldn't resist it when I found a Central Perk menu board.
Those however you can find here at this link: Click here! and are made by talanted hopebayler
I also then used the other 4 coffee paintings she'd done since they matched with the board. You will find them at the same link.


Other than that, I sticked to my plan and only used Maxis stuff to make it easy, and a lot of things I've used is to represent some stuff, and the personality of the characters in the show.

But as you can see on the pictures I have made Monica and Rachel's apartment and across the hall Joey and Chandler's place. In the building behind it I've made Ross's apartment (the one he took over after Ugly Naked Guy and is across the street only one floor below from Monica's place) and in the same building I've also made Phoebe's apartment to make it a bit easier, altough her place is on the floor under Ross'.

Monica and Rachel's place of course have the balcony, though I put a door there insted of a window so the Sims can actually go out there too.

In Joey and Chandler's place I've replaced the foosball table with a pooltable, and their bathroom became a bit weird since that magic bathroom keep changing size and furnishing in the show =P

In Ross' place I had to make up a bit because they don't show the other rooms than the livingroom that much, but I think I got the kitchen just about right and the bathroom is at least in the direction they usually go when they "go". It is told he have two bedrooms so two it is.

In Phoebe's apartment it's the same thing with the bathroom and the bedroom, you really never get to see them so I've improvised but at least put them in the right direction. I've also put a few of the "wierdest" paintings on the walls to represent Gladys (the creepy painting Phoebe made herself with a lady coming out of the frame) and I've also placed an electric guitar in the corner because in The Sims there is no acoustic one.

In Central Perk I've put a fire place on the wall facing the couch (where IRL the audience sit) to make the coffee house cozy. I've also placed the kareoke machine there to represent the little stage where Phoebe performs.


In the exterior pictures you can see the fountain outside which is there to represent the fountain they're dancing in at the intro. The flowers at one of the roofs is to represent the "pot garden" Chandler found on Ross' roof in one episode. Both roofs also have a telescope, mostly because of the episode where Ross wanted to go up and look for the Bapstein King comet.

I've tried to make the floors that are not used free from details as much as possible to prevent the game to slow down so much, but I had to put windows everywhere, it looked weird without them.

This lot costs about half a million Simoleons, so my advice is to cut your Sims some slack and give them the Motherlode cheat a couple of times so they can move in while they're young ;)


I would be happy to get feedback, though it's my first upload so be nice!

Please, don't upload my creation anywhere!
But other than that, you're welcome to download it to your game and make what you wish of it.


Enjoy!
