Soon available for upload is a house that I call "The Homeplace". As it mentions in the description, this is based off of the house plans for an actual home that was built in 1900. I am very familiar with this home since I live in it. ;) I thought that I would mention a few things about the home itself that other people might find interesting.

 First off, the basement is a highly prettied up version of reality. I live in Pennsylvania. Almost anybody who lives in this area knows that most of the basements around here leak, especially in older homes. We had people come in and take a look once to see what could be done. They laughed at us. (Not kidding.) So unless we win the mega bucks lottery it's just going to have to leak. It is also full of spiders. I try to keep it clean down there, but they just keep coming back. Yuck.

The basement steps are not put in the way they are IRL. They wouldn't go in that way and function properly.

 I only put in one of the closets that actually exists, only because the sims really has no real need for closets.

 In the backyard area there is an herb garden. Unfortunately the sims have no herbs so I left that out.

 In the bathroom off of the kitchen it actually has two steps to get to the sink and toilet. I really did put in a red carpet runner in there and decorate rather baroque. We call it "The Throne Room" and laugh about it all the time. There has been a discussion on if we should invest in a "gold" toilet.

 Room 1: While this is now where a lot of houseplants reside, this used to be an office in 1900. The original owner was the area's Constable and people would come to see him there during office hours.

 Room 2: This actually used to be two rooms. Sometime during the 1940's somebody knocked down the wall between the two rooms and turned it into one large room.

 Room 3: This used to be a large screened in porch until sometime during the 1960's.

 Room 4: We are not sure what the original purpose for this room was supposed to be, perhaps a parlor. But during the 1930's up to sometime in the 1950's it was a candy store. :)

 Rooms 5 and 6: Those two rooms switched places sometime during the late 1920's. 5 used to be a bathroom, 6 a bedroom.

 Rooms 7 and 8: Those did not even exist until either the 80's or the 90's. We are pretty sure that they were not built by the same people though. The person who put up 7 knew what they were doing. Whoever tacked up 8 was either drunk or mentally deficient. (Possibly both.) We did find evidence that there used to be another structure there at one point, but since there are no actual house plans for the original we do not know what it was. We do have a few pictures of the house when it was first built, but they were not taken from that side of the house and focused on the people, not the house.:) The most that we can see is the front door and a little bit of the house.

 Hopefully you found all of this at least mildly entertaining. :)
