Twilight: Bella Swan's House (base game)

I had a few requests on Mod The Sims to build a base game compatible version of Bella Swan's House, so I thought I'd give it a try. It should have been easy, but I have been working on it for about 3 weeks. I first started using a laptop with the base game, but it was just too slow to build stuff on. Then, I tried AnyGameStarter again, but it only wanted to work part of the time, and so it was very frustrating. Finally, I remembered that I had another computer I could use with just the base game. Then, I had trouble with some of the custom content either crashing the game or not showing up in the base game, so I decided to keep it simple and use less stuff.

So, this is the 3rd base game version I've built, but it now seems to work.  I'm fairly satisfied, even though it's not everything I'd hoped it would be.

These first 2 pictures of the exterior were taken from the base game, just to show how it actually looks with no expansions.

Twilight: Bella Swan's House

I finally have DSL, and I thought I would celebrate by finally posting a new house.  I did the best I could on the floorplan and decorations within the limits of building in The Sims 2, and the custom content I have.  I had to watch a lot of Twilight and New Moon, but I enjoyed it. ;)

The New Moon movie added the bay window on the side of the house as part of Bella's bedroom, although it really doesn't work with the floor plan for that to be a part of her room unless hers is the only upstairs room. In my version, the bay window is in Charlie's bedroom.  The most important window for Bella is the front window, the one that Edward frequently climbs through.  Of course, Jacob also climbed through once in New Moon.

Here is a night view of the house.
