Croft Manor Definitive Edition is my vision of the unified Croft Manor. I tried to build rooms as similar as I could, but I also had to make it functional in "The Sims 2" game. That's why not all details are the same from "Tomb Raider" games in this manor. "The Sims 2" engine doesn't always let us to do all imagined things that we would like to do but we can try our best to make it! I didn't always keep everything like in "Tomb Raider" games, I used some of my own ideas in some rooms, especially in bathrooms, since only classical games had a bathroom. I also added few things here and there by my own to make it beautiful and functional.

I took a few Croft Manors from every era of the games and put them together in one build. I decided that mixing classical, trilogy and reboot manor would give a nice effect of ultimate, unified manor. You can find a lot of recognizible places from all "Tomb Raider" Croft Manors.

I wanted to keep outside in classical style, because classic games had the best outside for me. The whole look of the house is more realistic because I used render photos from old Core Design site.
Labyrinth doesn't have secret passage for timed run from "Tomb Raider 2", instead I kept similar paths in the labyrynth as classic games, but I created places from "Tomb Raider: Anniversary" labyrynth.
I also added a mechanical water system from "Tomb Raider: Anniversary" behind the labyrinth for a nice, small little detail.
Behind the house there was originaly an assault course but I didn't like the idea of building it, since it would have no funcionallity in "The Sims 2", so I placed an object from carrer reward.
Inside the house much places are from reboot, especially from "Rise of the Tomb Raider", since I like this version of the house the most of all "Tomb Raider" games. Of corse I kept some places from classical games, because some rooms like kitchen or pool weren't in a reboot. As unified manor I wanted to make as much similar rooms to the 3 eras of games as I could.
Lara's bedroom is from "Tomb Raider: Legend.
There is also Amelia's bedrrom and her studio from reboot.
Basement is all from "Rise of the Tomb Raider". I like the idea of secret Richard office, so I added it in my lot.
The main hall, library, upper office are from reboot too.

UPDATE! 12.08.24

After some time when I learned new tricks and stuff in this game, with new experiences I came back to this manor to make improvements. I wanted to make it more realistic and detailed but keep the "Tomb Raider" vibe on this lot. My main idea was to cover up all the ceilings in the house but of course I started having fun and adding more details and I changed a lot after all. I made the Croft gardens more realistic and beautiful. I changed some interiors to make them more detailed. I made all those changes just to show the Croft Family splendor. They are rich and their manor should look the same. In newer games this manor looks exactly like that: rich, dusty interiors filled with archeological souvenirs from all of the travels. I hope I was able to make such atmosphere on this lot because now I'm more happy with my creation, than the old one I made.

Mods I recommend to use with this lot:
(They are not needed, but that might help with proper working of things on this lot or with gameplay.)

- Shiftible Everything (I used this mod a lot to make this lot detailed. Having it in your 'Downloads' folder might help with proper work of furniture on this lot.)

- Perfect Plants (Some of the plants in garden are set on cheats and your sims may have problems to get to them to take care of those plants.)

- Watch TV from all chairs (Sometimes I set TVs in places that sims can't really wath them from chairs or sofas. This mod will help them to sit and watch the TVs.)

- No Fire from Fireplaces (Sometimes I put fireplaces on cheats and near the furniture so be careful with lightning them up or simply download this mod.)

- Use Inaccessible Bed (It helps sims to reach beds if they need to.)
https://modthesims.info/d/686473/us...ssible-bed.html

There are all needed alarms like fire and burglar alarms in all rooms that they need to be in. They are covered up with furnitures or architecture structures.

I used cheats to build it.

I tested it so everything should work fine.

I didn't use any custom content to build this.

I built this in "The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection", so I don't know how it will work with other versions of the game.

I hope you enjoy!
