This home is not exactly an exclusive since it was on the Sims2 Exchange for a very brief period of time (about 3 days) before it got culled. Those lucky enough to see the original version of this home in that brief time seemed to like it, and I say to them, "Aww shucks".
The Wicked Sims version of this home is much better. From improved landscaping and wallpaper in the kitchen (oops, :lol: ) to a cleaner, smaller download package, and even much better screen shots, this home is 150% better than what was originally posted on the Exchange.
I couldn't really see the real house initially as I drove past it one hot, summer day, but I had a feeling that behind those security gates and beyond that cute security guard lay something special. While I was contemplating jumping the fence to get some pictures, a friend of mine commented that she was going to see the lady of the house that day to sell her some Mary Kay cosmetics, so I abandoned my shady plan and tagged along as a 'trainee'. The shots that follow took my breath away. I hope they leave you breathless, too.
Now for the Thank Yous and shout-outs. Without these fine and creative peeps, this house would not have been possible:
Brighten11 at the Exchange. Seriously, this gal is da bomb! Her walls and floors are priceless! Check out her page: http://thesims2.ea.com/mysimpage/mysimpage.php?user_id=58619
The Sim-ply wonderful folks at MTS2: Numenor and the Dream Team (sounds like a superhero team, huh?) for the Grand Trianon Collection, Mickyss for a mahvelous corner bath tub, Simveggie for poppy and pansy recolors, and Havelok for a great fountain recolor.
Khaibit, HabboArwen, LyricLee, rentechd, Boo, Rib640, and Franky from the Exchange for their floors, terrain paint, and Frankys fabulous mini cypress.
Skye at SterlingSims2 for the walls, parsimonious.org for the roof tile, the Sim Goddesses for their walls, and SnowStorm at www.eclectic-sims.com for the ceiling fans.
Thanks to Frances at www.caravanshopsims2.com for the unique bathroom fixture that is in the real house and I only found the sims version at this site...whew!
4EFS for their gorgeous plants, www.xmsims.com for their unique plantlife, and sims2world for their plants with german names.
Seems like a lot of people to thank, but this house is worth the effort, and they all deserve the praise for their work. I added the real pictures mostly so you can get some ideas on decorating and also to give everyone a taste of how the other half lives...wish I was part of that half LOL!
Let me know how much you enjoy the home!

umm there's no files? lol

Teehee! Sorry about the incomplete post at first there...I had started it and then had to dash off to work and left it onscreen as I planned on finishing it as soon as I got home. While I was away, my eldest son decided he wanted to play Halo, and, in trying to be helpful, hit the submit button so he could close the window and I not lose what I had written. It was a sweet gesture, but sent an unfinished post, LOL.
I'll try not to let it happen again. :oops:
-
lol how nice of him...its ok, it happens sometimes :)
since it currently isnt available anywhere else, if you dont plan to upload it elsewhere, this is technically an "exclusive"
this looks amazing... :shock:
-
Aww shucks. *blushes* The Mediterranean Palace isn't going up anywhere else, Jessica, so yay! another exclusive!
My eldest daughter tells me that I have to rate this house

AWESOME!! Love it!

To quote.. "DAAAAMN!"
How long did it take you to complete this hun? It's amazing!
-
It took me, off and on since I was also working on several other projects, about 12 hours of TLC. It took me forever to get the roof just right. Hopefully one day soon Maxis will make it possible to build an angled roof.
Of course, I'm really just guessing...you know how time just flies when you're playing Sims2!
-
I've been reading up on various tutorials and it seems it is actually possible to make an angled roof. I used some of the techniques to make the roof on the Shrine. It just takes for freaking ever to do it, and you have to kind of know exactly where you want to put it, cause once it's there.. there is no going back!

Incredible! Thank you.
