The Green way of Life

Gosh golly, 50th upload!

Hello. I've been opening, building some complete shit, and closing the Sims again for a long time. Now that winter is coming (Brr!), I've decided that I want to give you something warm.


The green way of Life is an eco-friendly house for an eco-friendly couple or single Sim, located in the desert.

The whole house is made natural and recycled materials. Clay floors, dirt walls, recycled plastic and wood, natural stones etc. etc.!
The tiles in the garage are made of Lime and the fireplace in the bonus room is all recycled metal. Also; don't worry about the big truck in the garage. It's motor has been tuned and runs on Bio-gas. Hippies couldn't find a better place to live!



Chairs, sofas and tables are also made of recycled and natural materials, ofcourse! The leather on seatings is from animals which have died naturally, and the wood and metal is all recycled, no trees have been harmed!


The backyard offers a nice terrace covered in shadow most of the day, and a large raised pool to cool down if the shadow left your terrace.

The bonus room, or attic sits above the garage and is only accessible from it, too. It includes a Hi-Fi stereo, designer table, billiards and a a fireplace to warm your butt in cold winters, because the heating system (heat produced by the downstairs fireplace) doesn't reach into the bunos room.

Last but not least: as you may have noticed, there aren't any solar panels. Why? We think those are too expensive. The electricity you recieve is from the nearby windmills!



Build on a 40x20 lot (placed vertical; 20x40). Note: The lot is completely flat. I just lowered it's level.
Costs: §238.503 F and §83.120 UF

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.
