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,
) 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:

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!
