The Mirage … An Egyptian Getaway**That is the best I can explain this house in the shortest amount of words.
A Little Background on my Egyptian Kick …It all started when I was working on a remodel for the Neighborhood Pool in Sunset Valley.
I spiced up the pool some, added a bar, some additional entertainment opportunities and upgraded the facility.
I think it turned out nice ... and it is available for download as well.

I really liked the kind of Egyptian Style I accessed in the remodel, and then started working on refining it for use in a house. I went through several different builds, but to no avail. After a couple of tries, I started to think about what my Sim needed versus what I was building for someone else. My current Sim is a World Explorer, so not in trouble for money. What I came up with is the perfect house for a Sim that travels (can also be used as a vacation home in Egypt).

Ground LevelThe Courtyard ...The Courtyard is designed with emphasis on Grace's travels in Egypt.
The are plenty of opportunities for entertaining guests, or just relaxing.
The Kitchen …The Kitchen has an open-flow design with access to both sides of the house.
It separates the two sides of the house, allowing for some privacy with the residents.
It is complete with all appliances necessary, and a bar for quick courtyard access.
The Bedrooms …Okay … Who else hates wandering around small cramped bedrooms?
Well the ones in this house are certainly not that.
Each has its own entertainment/sitting area … and some room to relax.
Both bedroom have great views of the surrounding area, and the courtyard.
The Bathrooms …Each bedroom has its own bathroom … the design is the same but colors vary.
Like the bedrooms, they have plenty of space to move around.
An enclosed shower room helps separate the toilet area some as well.
The Office …Everybody needs to get some work done.
You can work on business or your figure.
The Den …You Work Hard … You Play Hard.
Relax with some games, or catch up on your reading.
UndergroundIf you are like Grace, you hate it when you throw a party and people mess up your house.
Easy Enough … lock the doors to your house, and build a club under the statue to entertain guests.
The Club …Complete with a separate hot tub, large dance floor and double bar.
The the stereo is upgraded to “wire the house with speakers”.
The club has its own separate bathrooms (2) to keep traffic out of the main house.
Work Area …Every Adventurer needs a work area to store their stuff and work on projects.
There is a small nectar facility and storage … and a skills area.
You might even need to do a little mummy research.
That wraps up the tour … Now the Details:Some of the photos, relics and the sarcophagus are not included in the download due to complications with the size (Mb's) of the upload. The pictures (photos) at ground level are included as well as some in the basement. Grace is not included with the download.
There are No Store Items or Custom Content in this house.All of the appliances, fixtures, electronics, nectar makers and whatever have been upgraded.Happy Simming … Argh!BlackSandProviding you with another 235k house to blow your simoleons on ... I am also trying to learn how best to use the Upload Image Changer ... so please excuse any ******** looking mess in the images.
