    I have played the Sims far too much; my buildings are dictated by the needs of the Sims. For ease of playing I'll always recommend one ground floor bathroom, at least two flights of stairs to any floor, plenty of kitchen counter tops and plenty of musical instruments/things that can get a Sim happy really quickly. Oh, and corridors/passages need to be at least two squares wide so Sims can pass each other easily.

    Thank you Projeck! And Volyu, sadly this castle is probably too clean and light and modern for you:

    Three ground floor bathrooms, so they better not be queueing for the toilet, damnit.

    The Sims 3 actually looks like it's gonna have a realistic weight slider. So it won't just go skinny - normal - potbelly, there's all kinds of in-betweens.

    Also I just got home and holy fuck $56 for gas what the fuck

    The who what now?

    Christ, if they're doing a three that'll be out in the next year or two, ain't no way I'm buying any more expansions.

    Yeah, I was all set to buy some expansions when Mori said something about 3. I'm kinda glad, too, cause fuck there's a ton of them.
    Yeah but then you'll have to wait months and months as they gradually release expansions just like with the first two games. At least with 2, most of the expansions are already out and the game itself is pretty cheap if you don't already have it.

    Right, but by the time 3 actually comes out, I should probably be a) back in Amerca and b) in a monetary position to actually get all these expansions as they come out.

    Also, I made a rocking swimming pool for Gabe House only you can't see it in the update. But apparently Sim Bel liked it.

    That character model you provided a screenshot for is, uh, a bit beefier, shall we say, than I was thinking.

    Mori's faces are the best thing.

    Also Janson that house is rockin'. Which expansion includes the water slide?

    I've got all the expansions up to Pets, then some of the fun stuff packs.

    Noo!

    Sarukun - aah, you had me confused with Bel there. ;)

    Viv - I believe it's Seasons. I think!

    Everyone else: Thank you! I've already uploaded it here along with Gabe House (Modern) but unless you have the expansion/item packs installed that I do it maaay not work. I have University, Open for Business, Nightlife, Pets, Seasons, Glamour Life item pack and Family Fun Stuff item pack.

    So, I need ideas for more houses. I said I'd assist with building as it's Mori's least favourite job.

    I'm building a cult compound for Doom House, but I could do with ideas for the remaining 9. All suggestions considered!

    It's really easy to export/upload! Just go to neighbourhood view and click on a house and then 'export' and you can either export directly to the Sims 2 website or to a file location (and then upload it yourself).

    I'm soooo wishing I had more expansion packs even though I have quite a few. They always add really nice furniture. >.>

    This thread made me go buy Pets, Seasons, Freetime and Family Fun Stuff Pack to add to University, Open For Business and Nightlife. Now I have an eight page paper due in 12 hours because I've been playing this damn game. I am going to buy Bon Voyage after classes and probably the glamor stuff pack. Goddamn.

    I will tell you this, make a Sim that has all the sliders to the right, then produce offspring with a sim that has all sliders to the left. The result is the thing of nightmares.

    A sim that has everything in the middle?

    Nah, the game gets confused and tries to mesh eyes that are all the way to the right with cheeks all the way to left. So it results in most of the face coming apart and clipping through everything. It's really terrifying.
