24th September 2005:
New house, new download system: I have added a new house, to "The Sims 2 / Downloads / Houses" section. There's a picture to the right. I know what you're thinking. "That's just the 2 Bedroom Detached Home with a driveway." Well you're exactly right. It is a real driveway though! (Nightlife required.) I'm currently working on a brand new house, so watch out for that! I have made it so in order to download the houses from The Sims 2 Resource, you still need to agree to the terms and conditions, so just click the download link, to get the houses as before! You would also be able to get the houses from TheSims2.com Exchange by now, but The Sims 2 keeps crashing when I try to upload them! If you know anything about this problem, please tell me!

Third The Sims 2 Expansion Pack confirmed: "The Sims are open for business. For the first time ever your Sims can open up their own businesses! Create shops, restaurants, nightclubs, home businesses and more. Hire friendly workers and fire slackers as you strive to keep up with demand. Coming early 2006 to your PC!" Sounds great!

Houses removed from site again: It seems the houses are still too big, so I've had to remove them from the site again. I'll add them to TheSims2.com exchange soon (hopefully tomorrow) so you can download them from there.

13th September 2005:
The Sims 2 Houses return to website thanks to Sims2Pack Clean Installer: I'm glad my first submission to The Sims 2 Resource was rejected because the file was too big. Why? Because the message they sent told me about "Sims2Pack Clean Installer", a brilliant program that allows you to edit Sims2Pack files and remove all the custom content and re-coloured objects inside. Thanks to that brilliant program, all the houses have returned to the website, each around 10 times smaller. If your house files are coming out too big, download Sims2Pack Clean Installer today! But before you do that, head on over to "The Sims 2 / Downloads / Houses" and download my excellent houses.

21st August 2005:
The Sims 2 Houses removed from website: I have been forced to remove the houses from "The Sims 2 / Downloads" section because the files are just too big. The house files The Sims 2 (University) is creating just seem way to big, even for The Sims 2 house files. The Sims 2 Resource says on their submissions page that "If your file is above 2.5 MB it probably contains a Sim family. House Submissions must not include families." Even the bungalow I created was outputted in a file of the size 4.01 MB, and there's definitely no family there. I'm sure even mansions probably shouldn't be 25 MB, which is the size of the 4 Bedroom Home. I just don't know what to do! If you think you might know why the files are so big, please contact me! It would be a great help! I may go back to just putting the houses on TheSims2.com's exchange in the near future if I can't resolve the problem.
