Earth Sheltered Ranch #10416
...a part of The 80's Called series
3-6 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms + 2 powder rooms - garage - swimming pool - courtyard - skylit sunroom - rooftop gardens
this is an Earth-sheltered, bermed lot with a 2-Step Foundation and No-Slope Basement (built with the Grid-Adjuster*)
lightly furnished & ready for you to decorate*
...with only 3 CCs - all floors!
Do you remember the 80's? ...And we had that horrible energy crisis?
Earth sheltered home plans became popular when energy efficiency emerged as a social and economic concern. Earth berm houses are still one of the most environmentally or eco-friendly homes available.
This fantabulously shweet floor plan is #10416 from Cool House Plans - a scan of the floor plan is included.
I intentionally keep my builds lightly furnished - with only EAxis stuffeths - so that you can have all the fun of decorating it! (Please CC-it-up once you get it in your game!) All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included; along with smoke and burglar alarms, and telephones.
This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here.
The lot was cleaned and compressed with Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor.
The package was cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.
This lot has an easily identifiable custom thumbnail too.
The sun is oriented to the front.
There is parking for three vehicles; one in the garage, and two more on the driveway.
This is a pet-friendly build. No pet items are included, but there is plenty of room to add what you need. This house has a 2-step foundation - so if you want to allow large dogs inside, they are going to need Simler90's Stair Mods to be able to access the 2-Step foundation.
TIP : If, when you first enter the lot, arches/doorways are not "cut through" - save, exit to the hood, and re-enter. Fixed!
