"In 1975, a family of five moved into their dream home — a six-bedroom Dutch Colonial at 112 Ocean Avenue named "High Hopes" — knowing that the house had been the scene of a grisly mass murder just a year before. The family was immediately besieged by dreadful apparitions, bubbling green slime, red-eyed pig heads, levitating beds and sinister cries to "Get out!" Twenty-eight days later, that's exactly what they did, abandoning all their possessions and telling their terrifying story to anyone who would listen." - quoted from: The Real Story Behind the 'Amityville Horror House'

Two Large EXAMPLE lots, using the No-Slope Basement Templates

Cross-posted to MTS and Simblr.

These are 2 example lots I built using the large 2-step foundation version of the No-Slope Basement Templates.
Those templates restrict what you can build because the foundation canNOT be changed...
But, you can still create many different styles of buildings, like these. 😉

Thank you SimsGirl for sharing this home with me! I don't think I've ever built a house this fast! LOL! ...of course, it is really just an unfurnished shell. But, I had a lot of fun playing with the Grid-Adjuster today. I hope it is what you wanted.

Hearty Home
~ a Season's Bin House Make-Over ~
No CC

This lot is included in my LotCatalog Refresh Project. For that project, I went through every single Lot Bin house - cleaned them of nasty sim references, made sure they have the basic equipment (stove, fire alarm, fridge, garbage can, sink, toilet...) and made them pet friendly. I also added some sort of parking space to many of them, and shrunk several of the lots.

The project is meant as a complete replacement for your LotCatalog folder. AND, it will have the option to be "permanently" installed - so future New Games will generate with these refreshed Lot Bin houses in place. But... more about that later. I will be offering up the whole project soon.

Here is the link for the project: LotCatalog Refresh Project

Until then, here is this one...

When I started building this, earlier this year - Wolterton Hall was for sale - for a cool $25-million! It was just purchased last week, I think! So the listing photos are gone, but I have included RL "picture inserts" on many of my interior shots; and you can find more info about this house on the Wiki.
