Is your sim feeling a little too flush these days? Need to hide spend some simoleons before tax day cometh? Fret no more, I have just what you need:


For a mere $352,651 (Obviously, this is NOT real life here folks, am I right?) Your sim can have three magnificent floors of "Old World" elegance. The third floor features attic space with 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms designed with live-in staff and servants in mind. Floor plans for the first and second floor are shown directly below; and the basement level includes your own private bowling alley, pool hall, gym area with sauna, and "The Grotto" - an outdoor lounge with grill, dining tables and a comfortable conversation area.




Please scroll through all the included pictures to see everything this luxurious residence has to offer.


This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer. Invisible smoke alarms are over the kitchen stove and grotto grill. The telephones are centrally located on the walls, one in the kitchen, others at each stairway landing - each level has a phone. There is a burglar alarm by the front door. Decorations and furniture are included (there is plenty of room to add more, I did not over-decorate!) I used most all of the game's higher end furnishings and all the items from the "Art Nouvealicious" EA Store Stuff (link below) - feel free to change things around to suite the needs/tastes of your sims.

A lot more CC than I expected snuck it's way into this build! I just couldn't help it - sorry! However, I must say, all this CC has been in my game since 2008... so it really doesn't feel like CC to me anymore. *sigh* Please let me know if I left anything out. I really think I got everything, but ya never know...

CC list - used but NOT included - so, GO get it:
EAxis Store: Art Nouveaulicious Set now housed at GoS
EAxis Store: Asian Fusion Collection also at GoS - I only used one thing - the Cherry Blossom Plant
Maxis Official Pre-Order BONUS Items updated and fixed - housed at MATY. I used the GloStation 90XD (upscale computer) and WallTunes Speaker System (stereo) from EP8-AptLife
Maxoid Archive Items Decorative Egg Topiary
LaFenetre Add-On Set by Windkeeper @ TSR - specifically, you will need the full size 1T door and window
LaFenetre Arched Set by Windkeeper @ TSR - specifically, you will need the LaFenetre arched window and the 2T arched window (not the Belangie ones or the diagonals)
2T Round LaFenetre Window by Windkeeper @ TSR
Recolorable Shinto Stairs by HL @ MTS2 - though these are not used on the lot, they are needed for the open underneath stairs to work properly.
Sweeping Stairs fix by HugeLunatic @ Sims2Artists

...and if you have missing wallpaper/flooring, then you'll need Lifestyle Build Bundle - It's the second link in the top post - extracted from Lifestyle Stories by Argon @ MATY. I use wallpapers and floors from this set all the time and can't remember what came with the game and what came from this add-on.

Standard mods I use that are not necessary nor included - but were probably used whilst building/photo-ing/prepping this house for upload...
I use Moi's Roof Shader for brighter roofs
Maranatah's White Wall Top texture replacement
Moo's Turn On/Off Lights
Menaceman's Lunatech Lighting Fix
BeosBoxBoy's no-red-pause-mod
Nopke's Go Under Spiral Stairs mod for proper spiral stair usage
And, of course, everyone needs Numenor's CEP and SEP!
I also use FRAPs to take in-game pictures, and PhotoShop to clean/collage said pictures.
And, I highly recommend using gummilutt's Invisible Medicine Cabinet to add features to any mirror - as per her policy, it's not used or included in this lot.


Lot Size: 5x6
Lot Price (furnished): $352,651
