Bunker Build 2 (Part 1)
Well, here we are, folks, starting off on yet another build. The driveway slope stinks, but I didn't want to spend a whole major ton of trying to straighten out the angle just right. But anyways...the sims don't use it anyways. They poof into their cars at street level. It's just for esthetics.

(haven't gotten the picture of the second set of garage doors, but they'll be in the next update)
I've got a lake in the main floor...having pushed down the parkade about two wall-heights, there should be enough room on the ground floor for whatever the occupants need - the basketball court is in the garage.

Yes, I intend to put a helicopter landing pad up there...at some point.
