The Alexandria
5 bedrooms - 3 bathrooms - garage - pool
- daylight walk-out basement - ADU/Apartment - pet friendly - furnished -
on a 2-Click Foundation
This lot is SLOPED!
~~~ Minimal CC used: HL's SimplePassageStairs (used for the 2-clk foundation) and tBudgett's Retaining Wall System ~~~
The original floorplan that 'inspired' this build is below...
I made very few TS2 adjustments - this one is really very close to the original design.
I believe it is the Alexandria floor plan by Lennar builders - the plan joined my Floor Plan Collection Folder in 2008, or so. It is a very typical housing style where I live, in Central Florida. Most of the houses built within the last 40 years are of this style. I have recreated several like this for TS2. I hope you can use them?
What is an ADU, you ask? It is an Accessory Dwelling Unit - in this case, a 2B/1B apartment with a private entrance off the side of the house - down the stairway outside the garage. This lot is NOT zoned as an apartment though. Apartments are fiddly in TS2 - if you want this to be used as an actual apartment (with rent), then the house will also have to be an apartment. It can be done; but I recommend using this house for a multi-generational family, and locking your doors instead.
Please enjoy touring the rest of this design by scrolling down through all the pictures. I hope you have a blended or multi-generational sim family who will enjoy living here.
This house is sporadically furnished - some rooms are fully furnished and some have nothing. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. Both stoves (one in the ADU) and the grill have smoke alarms. The front door and both downstairs side doors (one in the ADU) are burglar alarmed. Both levels have telephones, and the ADU has it's own phone and internet. Please be aware - this house is built on a SLOPED lot. I have moved it around and placed copies in many different 'hoods without any problems. But, because of the sloped lot, I recommend you make a back-up of your hood before installing this lot.
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 two vehicles: one in the garage, and one on the driveway.
This is a pet-friendly build. No pet items are included - but there is plenty of space to add them, and two tubs are accessible for dog washing.
NOTE about Large Dogs: HL's SimplePassageStairs are were the only way large dogs could access 2-Step foundations when I originally built this house. NOW large dogs can run up and down 2-Step foundations with ease using Simler90's StairMods.
Possibly used but NOT included - so, you may need to GO get it:
- I use the Lifestyle Build Bundle wallpapers/floors ALL the time. (follow the link and it's the second link in the top post - extracted 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.)
You may also want to get:
- Simler90's Stair Mods for the 2-Step foundation to work for large dogs (IF you remove HL's SimplePassage invisible stairs.)
- an 'inaccessible plants' mod (some of the fenced plants may be inaccessible) - I suggest Perfect Plants - Perfect Gardens
- and the Invisible Driveway by Sophie-David/MTS2 - so the pavered driveway looks right.
Thank you, Mootilda for the awesome Grid Adjuster and Lot Adjuster tools - both were used to make this lot.
