I built this awhile back before I had Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden. I opted to name the street of my new set of split-level homes "Divided Drive." Sadly, it was the best I could come up with, but to me it sounds better than "Split Street." This house has 4 levels inside, which was a challenge. I used a houseplan as a guide, but ended up making some major changes on the inside, and a few on the outside as well. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Hopefully, I will be able to make a few more of these split-level homes, as they are a fun challenge to build.
The only thing I wish were different about the house is that when the roof is completely up, the dormers appear to be blocking part of the loft bedroom. Open the last thumbnail photo to see what I mean. However, your sims can move around in that area without any problem, and in normal play you will not even see the dormers in the bedroom because they are technically on a different level. Oh, and the loft is also built to be weatherproof for Seasons.

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

My Policy
I no longer take requests.
Feel free to use my lots in any stories or movies you make. You may use my recolors, walls, floors, etc. that I have made in any lots that are uploaded here or to other free sites. Giving credit is always thoughtful on your part, and appreciated by me. I ask that you don't re-upload my lots anywhere, or claim them as your own.
Keep in mind that if you download a lot and it doesn't work: (a) make sure you have the required EPs and SPs, and (b) try to download again because sometimes downloads get errors in the downloading process and can't be extracted for that reason.
Flooding sometimes occurs when you place a lot with a basement in a very flat neighborhood. Just like in real life, you need to place the lot on higher ground to avoid having the basement filled with water.
My Schools
My school lots are houses. I can do nothing to make them work like schools for you because the game just doesn't see them as schools. Even if you change them to community lots, they will still not be schools. This is not my fault - blame Maxis/EA. If you want to play one of my lots as a school, leave it as a residential lot and use Inge's hacks from Simlogical here:

P.S. I am sorry, but I'm not Inge, and I don't offer support on running a school. Please politely ask questions at the forums on Simlogical for support on using her awesome school hacks.
