Kimberly: MidCentury Design V12703 ~ 3B/2B/Garage with Sunken Lounge

The floor plan comes from this book: One-Story Homes, published by HomePlanners, Inc in 1991
An on-line archive of the plan is HERE.


Please enjoy touring the rest of this design by scrolling through the above pictures.

This house is fully furnished, and lightly decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The stove, grill, and fireplace have smoke alarms. The front door is burglar alarmed. The telephone is in the kitchen.

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 one vehicle in the garage.

This is a pet-friendly build. No pet items are included, but there is plenty of room to add what you need.

Definitely used but NOT included:
Get these items if you want the house to look exactly as shown in the pictures.
- Some of the Wallpapers or floors may be from the Lifestyle Build Bundle. (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.)
- HugeLunatic's Backless tub/shower

You will also need to get:
- Simler90's Stair Mods for the 2-Step foundation to work for large dogs (IF you want to remove HL's SimplePassage invisible stairs!)
- Unlevel Wall - #90 by Numenor @ MTS2
Some people weren't sure how to install this wall... Click the info button below to see how I did it

(NOTE: If you decide NOT to use Numenor's Wall #90, you will have 2 sections of wonky/crooked walls where the garage joins the main house. This will not hurt your game, it just looks ugly. It is completely avoidable by using Numenor's Unlevel Wall.)


Custom Content Included
- Contemporary Fireplace by Rgdyanne/Sims2Artists
- Contemporary Fireplace Recolor by Me, CatherineTCJD
- SimplePassageModularStairs by HugeLunatic(HL)/Sims2Artists - these do need a script file so follow the link and make sure you install them properly! AND - are not necessary if you have Simler90's Stair mod (linked above.)

Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Grid Adjuster tool used to make this lot.

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
Gunmod's Radience Lighting System, which is installed with the Scriptorium (which is necessary for installing CC stairs.)
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.
And, of course, everyone needs Numenor's CEP and SEP!

NOTE: Sweet Down Low Tweaked + sometimes causes pictures, curtains, shelves, and ceiling lights to 'jump' out of place when you first install a lot. You can 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*)
