Grandview Manor by Santori

This is another lot requiring special placement of a 25×25 lot on the Riverview World with a screen shot showing how to line up the placement prior to installing the house. It’s across the street from that 4 story farm building house thing what ever it is.. 🙂

The house is a 1 story 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, with a large living room, study, and a 2 car garage under the kitchen/dining area. Please note this is my first attempt of a split level house on a hillside.

The house is partially furnished and exterior is partially decorated.

Credits for custom items used are as follows – website links are also included except 2 that I don’t know what site it was:

You know, the main reason I enjoy making these houses is that it is a challenge and I never know what I’m going to end up with. I have no plans for some of these houses, they are just spontaneous, but some I do have the house layouts ahead of time. GrandView Manor, Grandview Hotel, Riverview Manor, Pinehurst Cabin and a few others were just a lot that I started putting things here and there, constantly making changes till they just seemed to fit. Those that I furnished and decorated inside and out were this way, I never know what I’m going to put where, what color to make things or even what type of items to use.

It is a little upsetting that I find things I need are not in existence or that they are regulated at a un-named website, I don’t believe that this stuff should be paid for but if others want to do this then I have no place in saying anything about it.

As long as people enjoy what I make, that they are happy and having fun is all the payment I need. As long as I can make others happy and feel good, then I am happy and feel great that I’ve been able to help them feel this way. This has always been my philosophy of thought since i was in my middle teens. I just wish more or all people could be this way…

Riverview Manor by Santori

A 4 story partially furnished house set along the river. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 bath, Large Kitchen, Family Room, Living Room. 3 Balconys open to view the river, the 1st floor balcony also gives access by stair to the river for fishing. This lot requires a special placement of a 20×15 lot – A screen shot of where it needs to be placed is included, it must be the long way between the road and river so that the house and terrain will work properly.

I intentionally left the second floor family room as is so that the new owners can section it off as you like – add a study or game room or what ever. There are 2 childrens rooms on the 3rd floor, the master bedroom is on the top floor with it’s own bathroom.

The only custom content used in the lot is the UBER TOILET from EA, it can be substituted as needed.
It honestly was a spur of the moment house. I went through adding a bunch of lots in places I could find to put them on that side of the river and as I came back, for some reason I clicked on it and saw that it was almost to the water – heck with it, let me try one of them high foundation houses and I just ended up with that – no plans, nothing. Was a little upset because I could not put the stairs where I wanted but as it turned out, I honestly think it came out better. Yes I did use the 2 cheats to put things in but the stairs fought with me! LOL

Oh.. one thing I’ve been looking for but not seen is a letter L shaped stairs, I know the ones that Gosik has at TSR and the spirals, but I have not seen or found any that go up and make a 90 degree turn to the left or right only. I have had several houses where I ended up using Spirals or the 180 degree turn stairs in their place and have had to make adjustments to the floors above and below to use them.
