You will need the Lifestyle Build Bundle for some of the wallpapers, if you want them - you can always substitute whatever wall you choose.
--- You may need to have Numenor's Unlevel Wall - #90 - I use this wall all the time as it is such a forgiving wall to build with
Click the info button below to see how I suggest installing this wall
NOTE: If you decide NOT to use Numenor's Wall #90, there may be missing wall sections or pieces of the WroughtIron fence in place of walls.
If you don't already have it, go get and install the Scriptorium by Numenor - it makes it super easy to install Modular Stairs, Fireplaces, Custom Walls, Lights/lamp mods (You can read about the what/why/how of it on his post) To sum up - all these items use scripts to work properly in the game - and that means they have an extra .txt file along with the regular .package file. And, you don't just dump it all into your Downloads folder. Once you install the Scriptorium, it will install all the other stuff for you.
Then - go get 90_UnleveledWall also by Numenor. (This wall is amazing!) Numenor cautions on his post that some people have experienced problems with this wall; but, I've used it since he first released it in 2006, and I have NEVER had a problem with it - I've used it through various EP/SP disc installs on XP, Vista, 7, 8, and now on Windows 10 with UC.
Unpack the zip file and find two items:
90_UnleveledWall.txt
90_UnleveledWall.package
In your DL folder, find the Scriptorium shortcut labeled "Scriptorium_Walls-Fences-Arches" and drop the .txt file into it.
(If you open the shortcut, you'll see it's path goes to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\Catalog\Scripts\Scriptorium_Walls-Fences-Arches - if you have the UC)
Numenor advises that you put BOTH the .txt and the .package in the shortcut folder. However, my 90_UnleveledWall.package file is in my documents/Downloads/zHacks folder - always has been, and, like I said, I've never had a problem with it.

*New pictures are tacked onto the end...
This house has been hangin' around my game for a while now (Actually, since 1946 - would you believe it! No? Oh...) Well, I have enjoyed playing it with a few different families and I hope you'll like it too. I've changed several things around to make it upload friendly - please make more changes as you see fit to make it your house. It is a split level bungalow on a sloped lot (I used Inge Jones graded 10% slope lot template - TQ Inge!) And I built it for a specific lot - see the neighborhood picture below (but, it can go wherever you want it to go.)
This house, built in 1946, was last lived in by a young family with a new baby - who asked to remain anonymous. They were only in the house a few short weeks, when they suddenly put the house back on the market and left town (I think they moved in with her great-aunt?) Anyway, they left all their belongings and have instructed me to just "Sell that place!" I've had the house inspected, and it is deemed perfectly sound. However, the inspector did say he'd never seen an attic quite like that before. "Wild!" he said, with a shake of his head, "But, it is a very nice, well built, quaint - ahhh, well deceptively quaint, little starter home." So, without any further ado, I present to you, The Hilltop House.
~~~~~~~~ The following info pertains to the OLD/original lot only; it is not necessary for the 2021 Remake! ~~~~~~~~
EDIT>>> I just realized that I didn't mention where the teleporter device is... I used SimWardrobe's teleporter - which looks like an LP sized CD on the floor. In the "Attic" picture (below) you can see it on the right. The downstairs end of the teleporter is located in the study/office. Sorry for the omission!
Credit & Thanks:
To all the wonderfully talented creators & re-colorers whose work I have used in this house: THANK YOU!!! You all make the Sims truly fun!

Hilltop Bungalow
Pleasantview, circa 1946
Pleasantview, circa 1946
This house has been hangin' around my game for a while now (Actually, since 1946 - would you believe it! No? Oh...) Well, I have enjoyed playing it with a few different families and I hope you'll like it too. I've changed several things around to make it upload friendly - please make more changes as you see fit to make it your house.

"Wild!" he said, with a shake of his head, "But, it is a very nice, well built, quaint - ahhh, well deceptively quaint, little starter home." So, without any further ado, I present to you, The Hilltop House.
~~~~~~~~ The following info pertains to the OLD/original lot only; it is not necessary for the 2021 Remake! ~~~~~~~~
MAIN FEATURES:
- Lot size: 20X40 (2X4) - HILLSIDE/sloped lots ONLY.
- Around 1,391 sq ft covered living space - 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, family room, office, living and dining rooms, patio, kitchen, and a secret hidden attic studio (accessible via transporter pad only,) decked pool, and a spectacular view of Pleasantview - if you situate this lot as I did.
- Around $37,314 simoleons - I say "around" because I have extensively re-organized my build/buy catalogues and, in doing so, re-priced most everything. I don't know if this will effect the cost in your game or not. If it does, maybe your Sims qualify for a huge tax break? Inheritance? Or, it's their turn to win the lottery?
- Furnished - Kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, flooring, wallpaper, lights and ceiling fans included. PLUS all the furnishings your family will need to be comfortable.
- Wired for cable/TV
- Phone already installed
- Alarm systems included (invisible - for both fire and burglar)
- A cozy color scheme with lots of blue, pink and dark woods - textured ceilings throughout
- Ceiling fans in both bedrooms
- Earth-friendly reclaimed shingles and highly polished old wood floors
- Double-paned windows
- An advanced retaining wall system (by tbudgett) Hillside erosion will not be a problem
- Quality Maxis doors and windows
- Mature Trees: including dogwoods, scotch pine, magnolia, plumeria, birch, and Rowan
- And a stupendous view of beautiful downtown Pleasantview
EDIT>>> I just realized that I didn't mention where the teleporter device is... I used SimWardrobe's teleporter - which looks like an LP sized CD on the floor. In the "Attic" picture (below) you can see it on the right. The downstairs end of the teleporter is located in the study/office. Sorry for the omission!
*** This is a HILLSIDE LOT! ***
This house is NOT built on a level lot - it is meant to go on a sloped lot, one that drops away in back (as your facing the house, from the street view.) Sometimes sloped lots can mess up your neighborhood. So, please back up your neighborhood before installing anything. Credit & Thanks:

About Me
I mostly "build" - houses, apartments, recreational, and community lots - but, I also create walls (and murals), floors, terrain paint, and various other recolors. And I've written a few tutorials too. :luff:
