And upstairs is where the space really gets crunched, so Puck and Bottom’s rooms are a lot smaller and the art room gets sacrificed completely.

This is also where I changed the decor up a little to ft the personalities that I play the characters. The girly pink bedroom in the original house always felt really odd to me for Bottom, so I went for a more earthy look with the Little Rascals bedroom set from Parsimonious. Puck gets a sun and night sky/surfy beach mashup space.

The master bedroom is also earth-fairy theme. Design Aesthetic: Ivy everywheeeere.

So although the rooms are smaller, like I said, I kept quite closely to the makeover that PotatoFrankenstein had done with just a few tweaks to throw in a tiny smattering of CC, or to adapt for the smaller space. The central ground floor room now has a grand piano and a (unpictured) seating and bookcases area for sitting and studying. The left side living room is mainly centered around the bubble blower. The ground floor toilet (unpictured) is exactly the same as PotatoFrankenstein’s version.

part 1/3-

The Summerdream lot in Veronaville is my nemesis. I’ve tried making it over several times in the past and never found anything I like enough to keep. Plus the lot tends to crash for me. I wasn’t sure if it was just the lot being buggy or because it was just so large.

So I downloaded PotatoFrankensteins version here. Loaded it up, really liked most of the decor choices and the fixes to the layout and played a couple days. Then it crashed. Tried a few more times, but each time I couldn’t play for more than a couple days before it crashed. I came to the decision that the lot is just too big, full and luscious for my poor laptop to handle.

I decided to completely rebuild the lot, mainly copying PotatoFrankenstein’s deco, but smaller. So the kitchen and the left sitting room both lose a couple squares width, the middle section loses about 4 squares width, and the whole house is a good deal shallower too. This works fine for my playstyle - I prefer smaller houses with smaller rooms.

does anyone know of a sims 2 gardening mod that makes hedges and flowers need trimming/watering less often - ie more days before they shift into overgrown/wilted mode? And weeds spread/grow slower?
