The Alexandria
5 bedrooms - 3 bathrooms - garage - pool
- daylight walk-out basement - ADU/Apartment - pet friendly - furnished -
on a 2-Click Foundation
This lot is SLOPED!

~~~ Minimal CC used: HL's SimplePassageStairs (used for the 2-clk foundation) and tBudgett's Retaining Wall System ~~~

The original floorplan that 'inspired' this build is included. I made very few TS2 adjustments - this one is really very close to the original design.
I believe it is the Alexandria floor plan by Lennar builders - the plan joined my Floor Plan Collection Folder in 2008, or so. It is a very typical housing style where I live, in Central Florida. Most of the houses built within the last 40 years are of this style. This is the third one I've posted in as many days, and I've got two more coming. I hope you can use them .

What is an ADU, you ask? It is an Accessory Dwelling Unit - in this case, a 2B/1B apartment with a private entrance off the side of the house - down the stairway outside the garage. This lot is NOT zoned as an apartment though. Apartments are fiddly in TS2 - if you want this to be used as an actual apartment (with rent), then the house will also have to be an apartment. It can be done; but I recommend using this house for a multi-generational family, and locking your doors instead.









Please enjoy touring the rest of this design by scrolling through the above pictures. I've noted on the FloorPlan1 picture where the invisible SimplePassageStairs are used - these stairs are the only way large dogs can access 2-click foundations. I hope you have a blended or multi-generational sim family who will enjoy living here.

This house is sporadically furnished - some rooms are fully furnished and some have nothing. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. Both stoves (one in the ADU) and the grill have smoke alarms. The front door and both downstairs side doors (one in the ADU) are burglar alarmed. Both levels have telephones, and the ADU has it's own phone and internet. Please be aware - this house is built on a SLOPED lot. I have moved it around and placed copies in many different 'hoods without any problems. But, because of the sloped lot, I recommend you make a back-up of your hood before installing this lot.

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.

There is parking for two vehicles: one in the garage, and one on the driveway.

This is a pet-friendly build. No pet items are included - but there is plenty of space to add them, and two tubs are accessible for dog washing.


Possibly used but NOT included - so, you may need to GO get it:
--- I use the Lifestyle Build Bundle wallpapers/floors ALL the time. (If you followed that link, it's the second link in the top post - extracted from Lifestyle Stories by Argon @ MATY) This 'bundle' lives back in my Bins folder so it doesn't have the CC star. If you ever enter one of my builds and find it has blank/unpapered walls/floors, it is because I used ones from this bundle and forgot to mention it. So, either substitute the wall/floor of your choice, or go get this bundle and re-install the lot (from your lot bin.)

--- I would also recommend getting:
- an 'inaccessible plants' mod (some of the fenced plants may be inaccessible) - I suggest Perfect Plants - Perfect Gardens
- and the Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David @ MTS2 - so the pavered driveway looks right.



Custom Content Included
- Simple Passage Modular Stair by HugeLunatic (HL) @ Sims2Artists - these do need a script file so follow the link and make sure you install them properly!
- Retaining Wall System and REC by tBudgett @ MTS2

Lot Size: 5x2
Lot Price (furnished): $157,075



Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Grid Adjuster and Lot Adjuster tools - both were used to make this lot.

NOTE: I use HL's Tweaked SweetDownLow to add shiftablilty and stop items from turning dark when they are shifted down. So - if pictures, curtains, shelves, and ceiling lights have 'jumped' out of place when you install one of my lots - just click the item to put it back in place. The 'jumping' is a side-effect of the mod. It won't affect your game at all (other than the inconvenience of things being initially out of place *sigh*)

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 Deastrumquodvicis' Roof Shader for brighter roofs
And, HW/Honeywell's A Little Greyer: Roof Trim Defaults
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
HugeLunatic's Sweet Down Low Tweaked + for the ability to shift things up/down on a wall without darkening the item!
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.
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.
