Cypress Manor: A Generation House

In Sims 2 the grandparents didn’t age unless you played them, so I got in the habit of having them live with one of their children and help raise the grandchildren. Since they can age on their own in Sims 3 it is not necessary to do that but after trying it out I decided that I enjoy the extra help with the kids so I am starting a series of Generation Houses.

NOTE:
On my stair over stair. I am not sure if anyone is having this problem but I thought I would mention it. In both, my Cypress Manor and Lucidity the stairs work on the original lot. But when I placed them out of the bin and moved a family in, the stair only worked one time, once the sim went down it they could not come back up. Replacing the stair did not help. So what worked on both lots was to go to edit town and move the family with the house to a different lot and everything is working fine. It has since been found that the stair over stair only works when the stair is going a certain direction in the world.


In this house we have the grandparents, parents and the 2 youngest children upstairs and the 2 older children have their rooms in the basement.


The creeping ivy on the front fence is by lemoncandy and can be found here.

Enjoy!

Install Instructions

Quick Guide:

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.

Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
