TS3 - Contemporary Ranch

This is my entry into a contest over on the official forums. The host wanted a large one story ranch style home, with everything included and I mean EVERYTHING! lol 

I have play tested it for a Sim week and everything was fine for me. BUT it is a huge lot with many things and I may have missed something.

I have to warn you now, if you do not have a good computer this lot will run a bit laggy because of the amount of content in it.

Warning this post is very PICTURE HEAVY :)

on with the tour shall we.....

4 Bedroom  4.5 Bathroom

Study, Nursery, 2 Living Rooms

Children's Play Room, Pool Table

Laundry, Gym, Wine Cellar with Bar

Media Room, Storage Room

Cubby House, Tree House, Playground

Pond, Pool and Spa, 3 Stables

Vegetable Garden and Orchid

Built on 64x64 Lot

Walking through the Front Entrance brings you to a small foyer, from here you can go straight ahead into the Great Room...

Or take a left into the Formal Dinging Room.

Passing through the Dining Room will take you into the Family Room and Kitchen. This is a great place for the ladies to hang out while you are getting meals ready in the kitchen.

From the Kitchen you enter a small passage way where the side entrance is....

 Off this passage way are the Laundry and Separate Toilet...

and the stairs to the Basement. When you first enter the Basement you can go Right into the Media Room...

or Left into the Gym with its own Bathroom...

Following the passage way a bit further will take you to the Wine Cellar and Bar on the Right...

or the Storage Room for Collections directly ahead.

Back upstairs and back into the Great Room there is a long Hall with a Reading Nook at the end...

Off this Hall is firstly the Study...

and then the Master Bedroom and Bath.

Taking a left at the end of the Hall takes you into another long Hall. First on the Right is the Nursery fully equipped for Triplets...

second on the Right is the Shared Bathroom decorated in a nautical theme.

then on the Left is the Girls Bedroom with its own Bathroom.

At the end of the Hall is the Children's Playroom...

off the Playroom to the Right, is the Boys Bedroom.

Through double glass doors back in the Playroom we can access the Back Deck. This can also be accessed from the Great Room

A great area for entertaining or just having a relaxing Sunday BBQ

Off the Deck is the in-ground Pool and Spa

The Backyard contains 3 Stables, Vegetable Patch and Orchid.....

It also has plenty of places for the children to play, you already saw the Slide and Sandpit here is the Tree House...

the Cubby House, (great for baking and playing Tea Party) Swing Set, Seesaw and Pirate Rider

 As we walk around the side of the house we come to the Pond out front.

and the Double Garage with Basketball Hoop.

Some overviews so you get the idea of the whole layout. I tried to keep as much open space as possible so that the Horses can run around.
