Gandalf and a Wizard's Tower

IMPORTANT NOTE: When creating this I put two hidden rooms in; one of which requires a keystone. I clicked the wrong prompt when placing the keystone and it is not found in the lot. So when you get to where you need it, please use the buydebug cheat to acquire it. Thanks and sorry. :oops:

I created this for a contest by Seascape http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/599241.page.

I wanted to share it with you here. I hope you like it.

Had to use Mediafire for household (sim and lot together); wouldn't upload to Exchange.

Description: Gandalf and Gandalf's Wizard Tower. Gandalf the White is a Wizard in "Lord of the Rings" and leader of the Fellowship of the Ring.

The Lot and Tower have everything a world-traveled wizard could want for. Since Gandalf is so secretive and private, his home cannot easily be seen from the street; it is hidden by large trees and guarded by Griffin. However, one cannot help but notice it rising from behind the foliage. If one dares pass by Griffin, one might discover a world of wonder where Gandalf lives. (This lot has a hidden room within a hidden room for adventure!

Very great wizard tower :) You have designed it really well, and i like the idea of a hidden room within a hidden room, and each level having a secret bookcase. I like the pond and bridge. You have really been detailed in capturing the theme of the build and all that the wizard would need/want, including secrecy. Great build! :)

Thank you all for the kind words. I am enjoying playing in it.

I feel slightly embarrassed at the moment though.

I had tested all the links to discovering the two hidden rooms and was confident they worked (and they do), but I neglected to add a necessary keystone. Doh. :oops: I thought I had added it but used the wrong choice when prompted. Doh again. Yikes.

I placed the missing keystone and tried to upload the lot again, but the Exchange won't let me.

All I can do is ask for mercy and advise you to use the buydebug cheat to acquire the correct keystone when you get to that point. SO SORRY!

Thanks so much.

I wish I hadn't messed up on placing the keystone, but the Exchange is acting so badly, I can't get a corrected lot uploaded. :cry:

In fact, My Page says I have NOTHING in my studio. :D

Hopefully it will all magically :wink: reappear.

Anyway, to anyone reading this: Please use buydebug to place your own keystone when you get to the point in exploring the house where you find you need it.

Thanks! (and sorry)
