The Sims 2 - My Totally Awesome House [Ver. 2.0]

Because people were wondering how I did my first house, I made this video. See, the original is gone-- I had to reinstall Sims when I put University on it. (It kept having an error) So I made a new one based on the original. I never wrote down the specs, but I could tell some things from my video. Like, how much wall spaces were taken up on a given side.

I guess I ended up using a bigger lot, but that's okay.

Without further delay, here's my tutorial thing:

1: Terrain. Notice the terrain-- this is an aspect I kept from the previous one. The ground wouldn't level flat, so I indented it. XD Take the tool that dents the ground, make the brush big, and put some big dents around the front of your lawn. Then take that push flattening tool thing and start at one of those dents, dragging it along the lot. It'll dent the rest. As long as you start in the dent, it'll dent anything else you touch with it. Leave a 2 square space wide row worth in the front of the lot that's level with like... the mailbox and stuff. Now, find the center of the lot. Put a 1x6 dent in that mailbox-level ground. (As shown) and add steps down the slopes so your Sims can actually go on the lot.

2: Main level. Follow this diagram, http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7666/t1pp1.jpg . As you can see, it's very off... as in, how the walls are drawn. (the back should be longer) but all the measurements I put down are right. Start the 17 count from the sidewalk on. 9 on both sides, blah blah. It's symmetrical. The whole building is.

3: 2nd level. Follow this diagram, http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6897/t2kh1.jpg . It's a lot closer to what it actually looks like. The numbers in parenthesis is the space its walls should be from the lower level's wall. ^^

3: 3rd level. Follow this diagram, http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7233/t3fr1.jpg . Same kinda thing. Don't forget the half wall!

4: Column-supported levels. Follow this diagram, http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3814/t4sa5.jpg . There are 3 different size colums, use them appropriately-- the biggest for the one closest to the house, the medium for the second one, and the small ones for the twins.

7: Path.

8: Paintjob, windows, doors, and arches.

I'm gonna go to my house and get all the specifics, make a diagram for each level, and come back.

P.S. I don't know why it looks pink. It's WHITE. D:

P.S.S. Yes, my Decepticon family will be living there.

i have one question can you not make two floors on the sims 2 for playstation?

[SoulReaperRukia]

@akdancegirlz99 Don't think you can, unfortunately... I played the ps2 version once, and it didn't seem to have that capability. :/ Try looking around online though, maybe there's a way to get it.
